The 2012 Land Range Rover Sport is now more efficient with improved fuel economy but more power in its 3.0-litre V6 diesel engine. As a result of a low-flow fuel injection process, the CO2 emissions seem to have been lowered considerably, from 243g/km to 224g/km in the entry level 211PS engine, and 243g/km to 230 g/km in the powerful 245PS engine, which has been increased to 256PS.
All these advancements in fuel economy can be partly attributed to the new highly-efficient gearbox, which is the ZF 8HP70 8-speed automatic gearbox. Besides the gearbox, the Range Rover Sport also features a rotary gear shift selector and a paddle shift installed on the steering wheel. The 2012 5.0 LR-V8 Supercharged remains the the same awe-inspiring and effective engine. Their unique diesel engines are some of the cleanest on the market coming equipped with a diesel particulate filter. Innovative alterations have been made to the detailing and exterior colors, carrying the design and equipment up a level.
This year, drivers should be able to easily individualize the lift height using the new powered tailgate. The passenger and driver will be able to view what they want at the same time using the next generation 7″ touch-screen with optional Dual View technology. The rear seat entertainment system has been upgraded with WhiteFireTM Wireless Technology. The Premium Harmon Kardon LOGIC 7 features 825W of powerful sound which is a nice improvement in their premium audio offerings. The newest ‘Say What You See’ voice command option with step-by-step prompts is a new feature in the premium system.
The new 2012 Range Rover Sport is a superb value SUV with great performance and improved fuel efficiency. The engine efficiency, reduced fuel emissions and amazing new features help the Range Rover continue to be the symbol of power and refinement for 2012. The new Range Rover continues to present the 309bhp 4.4-litre TDV8 turbo diesel engine. Range Rover’s 503bhp Supercharged LR-V8 creates a maximum of 370bhp and will go 0-62 mph in only over six seconds.
It really is stimulating to have a supercharged car, but what to go for is the diesel. It is the only SUV that features a consolidated EU fuel economy cycle of 30 mpg or more. Not only that, when it is not pushed, it scarcely makes any noise at all. If this type of supercharged vehicle is what you are looking for, the 2012 Land Rover Range Rover Sport might be just right for you.
