The New Range Rover Sport features a suite of technologies to enhance the driving experience, making the third-generation luxury SUV the most advanced, dynamically engaging and refined Range Rover Sport ever made. Land Rover’s Electrical Vehicle Architecture (EVA 2.0) is the digital spine, supporting connectivity, Software Over The Air (SOTA) capability and various advanced convenience features.

Intuitive infotainment

As soon as the vehicle is unlocked and the driver’s door opens, the award-winning Pivi Pro infotainment system is ready to go. The system is accessed via a curved 13.1-inch touchscreen – the largest ever fitted to a Range Rover Sport. Around 90% of tasks can be completed within two taps of the home screen, minimising the potential for distraction. Plus, in a first for Range Rover Sport, the central touchscreen incorporates haptic controls, providing sensory feedback when interacting with the screen, and helping to minimise the need for drivers to take their eyes off the road.

The Pivi Pro system improves as the vehicle matures through SOTA updates. Thanks to two embedded eSIMs, the latest software upgrades are completed anywhere without disrupting other applications such as music streaming. Pivi Pro also learns and recognises habits, ensuring personalised infotainment.

Occupants can interact with the vehicle by saying “Hey Land Rover”, which wakes the cloud-based voice assistant. More responsive than ever, it allows occupants to control functions such as navigation, media, climate and phone controls using natural speech in up to 31 languages. It can also be activated via the steering wheel button.

Interactive Driver Display

The digital experience is enhanced by a 13.7-inch Interactive Driver Display instrument cluster. Drivers can specify individual configurations for the display to personalise the information ahead of them, all controlled via the steering wheel controls.

Information can also be displayed via a high-resolution colour Head-Up Display positioned directly in the driver’s view. It displays key information, such as gear selection, up or downshift indicator and navigation instructions, as if two metres ahead of the driver.

Effortless smartphone integration

Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Wireless Android Auto™ are standard. A 15W Wireless Device Charger provides added convenience with a Phone Signal Booster located beneath the central touchscreen in a subtle, dedicated compartment large enough to accommodate the largest smartphones. In addition, passengers can stay connected with up to seven USB-C connections available across the two rows of seats.

Rear seat entertainment

Rear passengers can stream their favourite entertainment on two 11.4-inch touchscreens, elegantly integrated into the rear of the front seats and featuring curved glass screens similar to the main Pivi Pro touchscreen. Working with the Wi-Fi Hotspot, rear-seat passengers can also stream their favourite entertainment connected via HDMI or USB port, acting like an extension of at-home viewing, with individuals able to watch separate things on each screen.

Enhanced visibility

The new Adaptive Front Lighting system uses high-performance Dynamic Light Projection technology. Inside each headlight, 1.3 million individually controllable Digital Micro-mirror Devices allow the HD-Adaptive Driving Beam to respond to the road ahead. Using eHorizon navigation data, the lights ‘see’ the road ahead and automatically set the correct beam pattern from one of four modes: Country, City, Highway or Adverse Weather.

New Manoeuvring Lights assist the 3D Surround Camera system in aiding parking and low-speed manoeuvres in low light conditions using LED downlighters on the side of the vehicle, which project onto the ground.

ClearSight Interior Rear-view technology changes the frameless interior mirror at the touch of a button from a conventional rear-view mirror to a digital screen showing a feed from the high-definition rear-facing camera mounted high at the back of the vehicle. ClearSight Ground View transparent bonnet technology enhances off-road driving by almost magically visualising the area hidden by the bonnet on the Pivi Pro touchscreen.

Advanced Driver Assistance Systems

All models are fitted with Emergency Braking, 3D Surround Camera, including front and rear parking sensors, Wade Sensing, ClearSight Ground View and Manoeuvring Lights, Cruise Control, Driver Condition Monitor and Lane Keep Assist. Additional features are provided by the Driver Assist and Blind Spot Assist Packs.

Remote Park Assist is available for the first time on the new Range Rover Sport, enabling owners to conveniently control their vehicle from the outside. The Land Rover smartphone app allows drivers to park in tight spaces, guide the vehicle through rural gateways, or exit tight parking spaces.
