Range Rover Sport Facelift

As before, both models will be imported into India and that’s why their prices are way more than their respective rivals which are locally produced. Since both are essentially facelifts, there is no mechanical change to report. That said, there’s a lot more on offer than before. The added kit includes Pixel-laser LED headlights, Touch Pro Duo infotainment system which comprises of two 10-inch touchscreen displays, ‘Hot-Stone’ massage function for the seats and gesture-controlled sunblind operation. In terms of looks, the grille is new and so are the front and rear bumpers.
