Land Rover has unveiled the updates to the 2019 Range Rover Sport, which not only gets a new diesel engine but more available tech features.
Starting with the new engine, the 2019 Range Rover Sport is available with a new 3.0L twin-turbocharged diesel V6 that generates 245 horsepower (249 PS). The new diesel gives the Range Rover Sport a 0-60 mph time of 7.6 seconds, but sadly it is only available in Europe.
The 2019 Range Rover Sport also sees the introduction of more driver assistance features, like Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go. The system automatically maintains a set distance from a car in front of it and can bring the SUV to a full stop if traffic comes to a halt and then pull away again if traffic starts moving again in less than three seconds.
Adaptive Cruise Control with Steering Assist also helps keep the Range Rover Sport in its designated lane. Lastly high-speed emergency braking is also available.
The Range Rover Sport is Jaguar Land Rover top-selling model in the United States. Last year, JLR sold 19,153 Range Rover Sports here, out of a total of 74,739 vehicles for Land Rover, and 114,333 for both brands combined. The Land Rover Discovery Sport is the group’s most popular model on a global basis (ahead of the Evoque and Range Rover Sport), accounting for 126,078 out of the 442,508 vehicles sold around the world last year.
