When we drove the 2014 Range Rover Sport, we though we knew how the thing was born. As it turns out, we were wrong. The pic above explains the actual birth process of the RRS and we may be dealing with an industry insight here.
As you can see in the image, the previous-generation Range Rover Sport is delivering a baby and the owner seems to be on site to help with the labor. There’s also a child seat in the image, which makes things a bit more complicated, but hey, Range Rovers have always been very good at catering to a family’s transportation needs, so we’re not worried at all.
Who knows? Perhaps in the quest for financial efficiency, companies are no longer giving us actual cars, but use... instant vehicles, to which they add water. The old mother car delivers the baby vehicle, which is then introduced in a car wash and comes out fully-grown.
Jokes aside, the 2014 model makes quite a difference compared to its predecessor, with the step forward being greater than the standard one brought by a generation change. That’s mainly because the old model was built on the Discovery’s IBF (Integrated Body Frame) platform. Aside from not providing the best assets for on-road driving, the packaging also compromised the rear interior space.
As for the new Range Rover Sport, the automaker has finally done the right thing, borrowing the platform of the Range Rover, which has obviously come with all the benefits of its aluminum construction.
Still, there are a few details you really need to sort out when configuring a Range Rover Sport. For instance, the adaptive dampers can make the difference between terrible handling and a proper behavior in this department.
