Range Rover Sport [Spy Shots] 2018 Land Rover Range Rover Sport Facelift

[Serpens]

I’ve fallen out of love with my RRS but this is a nice facelift. Personally waiting on a next-gen G-wagen.

Now the order has been restored for me, the RR Sport is the one I want most, again. Until the Velar gets the SVR V8 treatment, this is where it's at.

Those who have placed an order for the Velar will now be very confused. With the dual touch screen standard in the RRS, the Velar has lost one of its USPs. The RRS with its larger interior, higher seating position and more luxurious interior materials now looks like a better deal. Spec the cars to V6 300hp and Dynamic trim in the USA and the RRS is only $3,000 more expensive - a mere 4%. However might prefer the newness and styling of the Velar. I will be very interested in comparing their sales figures in 1-2 years time.

This overlap will only exist for another 3 year until the RRS is replaced with a new model and moved upmarket, leaving the Velar with more breathing space.

I don’t think the Velar will get the SVR V8, I think it will get the new I6.

That being the case, looks like the RRS is the Goldilock choice of the line-up.

I thought the Velar would make the RR Sport look dated but the facelift is refreshingly crisp that the RR Sport is more resistible.

The Velar has no road presence.

 

[Serpens]

The Velar has no road presence.

Totally agree. That car has been one of the biggest letdowns for me in terms of pictures > real life perspective.

 

[martinbo]

Yip, Velar looks more like a super-sized wagon than a Sport Utility Vehicle in real life.

 

[Centurion]

The Velar has no road presence.

Upclose in the right spec the Velar looks amazing but from a distance, you are right, the RR and RR Sport have much bigger presence.

 

[Merc1]

Wait until they release the Velar SVR.

I love how the image of the car on the instrument cluster matches the actual car down to the colour of the callipers.

 

[Merc1]

Until the Velar SVR arrives the RR Sport and particularly the SVR version is the one to have.

I’m amazed how popular the facelift RR Sport ( and RR) is in the NYC area. It seems as if everyone who had a prefacelift traded in instead of going to another brand. Great timing for LR.

Looks like a Bedforfdview mob mobile to me. The plain Jane RR Sport is an exercise in athleticism reined in for decorum sake - an erstwhile Range Rover signature.

That RR SVR looks really hot, I didn't realize that the front was so aggressive. The interior white and black combo is not exactly my cup of tea but it nonetheless still looks classy.

The only noteworthy Range is the regular Range Rover over here, the rest hardly exists. And with good reason, because all these cars suck apart from the original (though that coupe looks terrible).
