2013 Range Rover Sport #rangerover

Some nice tweaks for the Sport in 2013, let’s hope the next 2013MY announcement is a bit more exciting though.

Just a few inconsistencies in the official PR released. The tech documents, although named 2013 are titled 2012 within the document. And the last line of the press release says:

“Gears are selected by the rotary gear shifter and steering wheel paddle shift.”

On the Range Rover Sport with a gasoline engine and the six speed transmission, it’s always been the standard gear selector, the pictures showing the 2013 interior also show the standard gear selector.

Details, details.

NEW DESIGN FEATURES REDEFINE THE CLASS-LEADING APPEAL OF THE RANGE ROVER SPORT FOR 2013

· Five new paint finishes offer greater customer choice

· Striking new alloy wheel design

· Red Brembo™ brake callipers for Supercharged model

· Wider choice of interior colour combinations

· New carbon fibre veneer pack

Whitley, UK, May 16 2012 – For 2013, the Range Rover Sport consolidates its position as the most dynamic and luxurious sports tourer in its class with fresh new colours and a greater choice of interior trim and alloy wheel designs.
