Adaptive Dynamics system
Working in conjunction with the existing Dynamic Response system, Land Rover has employed the world’s first production system for this model-based predictive technology, which continually optimises damper settings for the widest possible range of conditions to enhance control of the vehicle’s ride and handling.
Even More Responsive Driving
Steering response is improved on the Range Rover Sport with the stiffening of the front suspension lower arm forward bush, which enhances the sense of driver involvement with the vehicle at higher speeds.
Updated Braking System
The Range Rover Sport is equipped with a new braking system which has been comprehensively updated to provide enhanced stopping power and improved driver feel whilst the braking system for the supercharged model has been developed in conjunction with performance brake specialist Brembo™.
Cornering Ability Enhancements
A refinement to the Stability Control system helps automatically slow the vehicle if taking a bend too fast, enhancing driver control and is complemented by the new Roll Stability Control system, designed to intervene if, in an extreme situation, the possibility of a rollover is detected.
Updates for award-winning Terrain ResponseTM and Hill Descent Control
New features and refinements further extend the vehicle’s all-terrain capability. Most significantly, the Terrain ResponseTM system now includes a new dynamic programme, designed for sporting on-road driving.
For soft sand – one of the most power-hungry surfaces – ‘sand launch control’ has been introduced, which makes for noticeably easier drive-away. New, speed-dependent wheel-slip targets for the traction control system permit only very limited initial wheel-slip, helping to prevent the wheels digging down into the sand.
Revisions to the rock crawl programme reduce the wheels' tendency to roll in an unintended direction when traversing boulders, giving a more composed drive through rocky terrain.
Land Rover’s much-acclaimed Hill Descent Control system is enhanced with the addition of Gradient Release Control which increases control when braking is released at extreme angles.
