2014 land rover range rover review this car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale. All-new, part luxury car, part mountain goat. introductionthe land rover range rover sport is all-new for 2014. However, even the big diet only brought weight to the 5,000-pound range, so don't expect stellar fuel economy. only two inches longer, the 2014 range rover sport adds seven inches of wheelbase over the previous-generation. That yields an improved ride, more back seat room with easier entry, and an available token third-row pair of seats. It does a good job of disguising its size, nearly a foot longer than the original range rover. Relatively speaking, cargo area is on the small side, but the rover's towing capacity is among the best. leather, real wood and aluminum set the stage, with upgrades available for all. Finishes and features parallel the range rover, while styling is more london loft than formal gentlemen's club. Those same pieces allow a comfortable, confident ride off the pavement, with similar aids from on-board electronics to get through obstacles that will stop most challengers. the v6 models have more power per pound than last year, and the 510-horsepower v8 generates prodigious thrust and an exhaust bark to go with it. For decades, range rovers were genteel keep-calm-and-carry-on vehicles. Three-row shoppers pit range rover sport against audi's q7, mercedes' gl and the x5 option. It adds to se with oxford perforated leather in 7 additional colors, heated front seats, panoramic roof, front fog lights, homelink, 20-inch wheels, and zebrano, oak or aluminum trim. Hse options include 5+2 seating with 3100) or without rear climate control, and all the options offered on se. range rover sport supercharged 79,100) gets a 510-hp v8, terrain response 2 auto, two-speed transfer-case, torque vectoring differential, paddle shifters and minor cosmetic changes. Adaptive cruise control with collision mitigation braking, adaptive headlights, front fog lights, surround camera system, park assist and blind spot monitor with cross traffic alert are available if not standard. walkaroundnow built on much the same platform as the range rover the sport's family resemblance is obvious, but so are the sleeker lines and more aggressive demeanor. most of the classic rover design cues made it to the sport. The clamshell hood opening begins the character line that carries aft to the taillights and the broad expanse and low cowl provide a great forward view. Black pillars all around effect the floating roof, though this goes away on some contrast-color-roof paint pairings. Horizontal styling themes dominate the end, while the side window lines taper rearward much more than the big brother. And the short-nose, long-tail proportions aren't so pronounced as on the range rover. rather than side gills, sports get angled vents to better impart the image of speed, while the protruding door sills and flared wheel arches mimic the hunkered down look of auotbahn bruisers rather than off highway vehicles. All have dual exhausts, the v6 mildly flared tips and the v8s rolled tips. Soft-touch materials abound, the assembly looks like good hand-made stuff and there's no chrome to reflect glaring sun on safari, though a couple of the available high-gloss woods might. supportive front seats have plenty of adjustments to fit a wide variety of shapes and sizes in different grades of leather, piping and color combos, both with three-person memory. Non-rover types will mistakenly hit a memory button because they are on the armrest where most window switches are while the windows are on the top of the door panel. In addition to the snowboard-wide center armrest, each front seat has a fold-down, infinitely adjustable inboard armrest. With a tall front passenger's knees at the glovebox the 6-foot associate couldn't fit easily behind him, like they did in a big range rover, but two tall and two average split diagonally fit fine, assuming everyone cooperates. Rear seats recline slightly, are nearly as comfortable as the thrones in front, and can be equipped with climate control. although the first-generation sport was derived from the 7-seat lr4, this generation is the first to offer a third row. Wisely called 5+2 seating, anything else is too optimistic, the power folding seats are designed for. Climate Control✔ Cruise Control✔ Sunroof/Moonroof✔ Bluetooth✔ Alloy Wheels
