Doha: Alfardan Premier Motors, the official retailer of Jaguar Land Rover in Qatar, has announced the introduction of the new Range Rover Sport at its showroom.

A suite of powerful and efficient powertrains includes six-cylinder extended range Electric Hybrids, potent new V8 and mild hybrid six-cylinder petrol and diesel Ingenium engines. Pure-electric propulsion will be introduced in 2024, as Land Rover continues its electrification journey.

“And so, the new Range Rover Sport delivers an Electric Hybrid with optimised efficiency and extended range all-electric driving. Presenting a reductive and modernist design, a muscular stance and exclusive details on the exterior, combined with sophisticated luxury, and the latest innovative technologies on the interior; the new Sport re-writes what is meant by SUV sporting luxury,” Robertson added.

The result is the most engaging and thrilling Range Rover Sport ever”.
Alex Heslop, Director of Electrical Engineering at Jaguar Land Rover said: “Living with the New Range Rover Sport couldn’t be easier thanks to its suite of connected technologies. Our award-winning Pivi Pro infotainment is at the heart of the experience and its haptic, curved floating touchscreen provides intuitive control of the vehicle systems”.

A comprehensive line-up of electrified powertrains includes two extended range Electric Hybrids, six-cylinder Ingenium petrols and diesels using mild-hybrid technology, and an all-new V8 Twin Turbo. In 2024, the New Range Rover Sport line-up will evolve with the addition of a fully electric model.
