The 2023 Range Rover Sport is as complex as they come.
It’s available with mild hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and gas-swilling V-8 powertrains. And it’s a measure of the company’s hardware and software prowess that there’s no appreciable smoothness difference between them. If anything, the V-8-powered version might have the least linear powertrain response because of its sometimes-touchy accelerator pedal. Point is, the Range Rover Sport has tamed complexity to do its bidding.
The lineup now includes the P360 SE base model and the P400 Dynamic model. Both are mild hybrids packing 3.0-liter inline six engines and electric motors. Think of them as the regular and the extra-strength versions of the same medication. Incidentally, the Dynamic model is not any more dynamically capable than the SE, but it does come with a body kit to indicate that it is the sportier of the two. Then there’s the P440e plug-in hybrid, which mates the same 3.
It’s true that this big brick is clean and sophisticated looking. Unlike some of its more garish competitors, the RR Sport has precious little ornamentation. It looks substantial and expensive, which is good because it is actually both. The interior carries the same unfussy style as the exterior, with a large, curved center screen floating just above the surface of a simple dashboard and a second screen tucked into a binnacle behind the steering wheel.
Built on the same platform, fitted with the same suspension and powertrains as the Range Rover, the Sport is, and always has been, an exercise in tuning and restyling. And you’d have to say that it’s been a highly effective effort for the company. The Sport not only outsells its brand-defining fraternal twin; it is the best-selling Land Rover product in the U.S.
The launch of this new 2023 model year Range Rover Sport coincides with peak powertrain complexity in the industry as highly efficient gas engines mate with bewildering electronics. But perhaps soon, Land Rover can, like the rest of the industry, turn toward a simpler solution. That could begin in 2024.
