2014 Range Rover Sport Starts at $63,495, Tops Out at $93,295




The word is out at the New York auto show; The revamped, lighter-weight 2014 Range Rover Sport will start at $63,495, which reflects a bump of about $2000 from the outgoing model’s MSRP. New for the 2014 Range Rover Sport, a small third-row seat is now available.
Boasting a new aluminum structure that shaves off about 800 pounds compared to the outgoing model, the base Range Rover Sport SE is powered by a 340-hp supercharged 3.0-liter V-6 engine. Upgrading to the Sport HSE model, which also uses the same engine but adds more luxurious bits, commands a $5000 premium over the SE model for a total of $68,495. The prices jump significantly, should buyers opt for the 510-hp supercharged 5.0-liter V-8 that powers the Supercharged and fully loaded Autobiography models, which get a new Dynamic mode in the Terrain Response system, and new Adaptive Dynamics that feature continuously variable dampers. The 510-hp 2014 Range Rover Sport SC starts at $79,995, while the Autobiography will set you back $93,295. A Black Package that removes all the brightwork is available for all models, while a Dynamic package on V-8 powered models adds a gloss black grille, body-colored lower bumpers and side sills, unique interior color themes and finishes, 21- or 22-inch alloy wheels, and red Brembo brake calipers. An 8-inch high-resolution touch-screen display on the center console is also standard. Optional safety features include lane departure warning, traffic sign recognition, blind spot monitoring, close vehicle sensing, adaptive headlights, and park assist.
All engines are paired to an eight-speed automatic transmission, and every 2014 Range Rover Sport has engine stop-start technology. A power-folding occasional-use third row that folds flat into the cargo area is also a new option for the 2014 model, as are reclining second-row seats with climate control. The 2014 Range Rover Sport is 2.5 inches longer than its predecessor, but retains the signature clamshell hood and floating roof that can be had in a contrasting color. Inside, the center console is mounted higher, and rear-seat room grow. Suspension and steering system are also new.
