Bringing together a synthesis of peerless refinement and unrivalled performance, Jaguar Land Rover Malaysia (JLRM) today officially launched the much-anticipated third-generation Range Rover Sport for the Malaysian market. The Range Rover Sport sets new benchmarks with its assertive on-road prowess, world-renowned all-terrain capability, progressive design sophistication, and state-of-the-art connectivity.
The new Range Rover Sport boasts a luxe exterior that seamlessly blends with the unmistakable Range Rover DNA, accentuated by dramatic proportions to create a dynamic and commanding presence. This is complemented by exquisite finishes, including a stealth-like front-grille and distinctive digital LED lighting units. These eye-catching designs, the slimmest ever fitted to a Range Rover, rest above a sculpted, double-aperture lower bumper, featuring a horizontal bisecting body-colour element that emphasises its visual width, accompanied by tasteful black detailing.
The clean lines of the exterior are enhanced by flush glazing and door handles, a hidden waist rail finisher and laser-welded roof. These design-enabling technologies contribute to the vehicle’s aerodynamic performance, with the new Range Rover Sport delivering a drag coefficient of just 0.29. The 22” Style 5127 Satin Dark Grey wheels and soft door close mechanism further reflect the vehicle’s commitment to luxury.
In the opulent interior of the Range Rover Sport, the cockpit-like cabin provides a dynamic driving experience and excellent visibility, accompanied by a high, sloping centre console and intuitive technologies. The four-zone climate control system
enables personalised climate settings for both the driver and passengers, while the cabin air purification pro feature filters out impurities and allergens, ensuring optimal comfort.
The award-winning Pivi Pro infotainment system takes centre stage with its high-resolution floating 13.1-inch curved touchscreen. An intuitive personal assistant, this intelligent system creates a personalised onboard experience and controls everything, from navigation to media and vehicle settings. With an easy-to-use interface, Pivi Pro’s home screen is customisable, with features that can be accessed with just two taps of the main screen. Haptic feedback enhances the system, reducing the need for the driver to divert their attention from the road. The Pivi Pro screen is complemented by a 13.7-inch Interactive Driver Display with a reconfigurable layout.
Under the hood, the 3.0-liter turbocharged Petrol MHEV 400PS engine can accelerate from zero to 100km/h in just 5.7 seconds. The new Range Rover Sport introduces a range of advanced chassis technologies for a dynamic driving experience. Built on flexible mixed-metal Modular Longitudinal Architecture (MLA-Flex), it provides up to 35% higher torsional stiffness than its predecessor, forming the foundation for an integrated chassis control system specially tuned for the new Range Rover Sport. In addition, the inclusion of Dynamic Air Suspension elevates the suspension bandwidth by varying pressure within the chambers. The new Range Rover Sport also features eight-speed ZF automatic transmission and Intelligent All-Wheel Drive, allowing for optimised traction in all conditions.
Safety is also prioritised with its Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). Safety features include Emergency Braking, a 3D Surround Camera, Wade Sensing, the enhanced visibility of ClearSight Ground View and ClearSight Interior Rear View Mirror, Manoeuvring Lights, Adaptive Cruise Control with Steering Assist, Driver Condition Response, Lane Keep Assist, and Traffic Sign Recognition.
Jeffrey Gan, Managing Director of Retail and Distribution of Sime Darby Motors Southeast Asia, Hong Kong and Macau, said, “Sime Darby Motors is pleased to launch
