Some bold claims are made by Range Rover about the new Sport D250 SE, like “Effortlessly combining assertive and instinctive on-road performance with trademark refinement, progressive design and connected convenience, the new Range Rover Sport is redefining sporting luxury.”
As a foundation model, the company suggests the D250 offers a more accessible pathway to the Range Rover experience while maintaining the prestige and performance expected of the iconic British brand.
Steve Kenchington, CEO of JLR New Zealand says, “After nearly two decades of leadership in luxury performance, the Range Rover Sport remains the definitive performance SUV. The Range Rover Sport D250 encapsulates our commitment to elegance and excellence in every journey.”
Powered by a 3.0-litre, 6-cylinder 250PS Twin-Turbocharged Diesel MHEV AWD engine, this model combines efficiency with the dynamic capability that is hallmark to the Range Rover brand, says Range Rover New Zealand. That’s the same engine that we were impressed with in our recent 1,000km Far North jaunt in the Defender, that you can read about here.
