Just days after unveiling the new Range Rover Sport, Land Rover has officially listed the SUV on its India website. Even though deliveries are expected to start in November 2022, the company has registered the SUV as a MY2023 vehicle, as it does with its other models like the Defender. Meanwhile, the new RR Sport will be powered by a 3.0-litre, six-cylinder, turbocharged diesel engine, producing 350hp and 700Nm.
- Range Rover Sport’s bookings open; prices start at Rs 1.64 crore
- Deliveries expected to begin by November 2022
- Will be offered in four variants
As per Land Rover’s website, the SUV will also have mild-hybrid petrol powertrains from the India-spec Range Rover. These include the 394hp, 3.0-litre, P400 straight-six Ingenium, the 525hp 4.4-litre BMW-derived V8, and the 503hp, plug-in hybrid 3.0-litre six-cylinder engines. The new RR Sport carries a larger price tag on account of being a CBU model which attracts heavy import duties.
