The 2014 Range Rover Sport gets a retro ad too. #MustReallyBeARangeRoverNow
2014 Range Rover Sport Park Assist has been upgraded #NewRangeRoverSport
I’ll be honest here and say I actually had to look up what “Perpendicular Parking” was.
***
Electric Power-Assisted Steering with advanced Park Assist functions
The new Range Rover Sport’s electric power-assisted steering also enables customers to benefit from a range of advanced Park Assist features, including:
- Park Assist – which helps to identify a suitable parallel parking space, and then automatically steers the vehicle into place
- Park Exit – which helps drivers exit tight parallel parking spaces, by automatically steering the vehicle back into the main carriageway
- Perpendicular Park – which extends the function of the system to help the driver to reverse into perpendicular spaces, using sensors to help identify a suitable space where the vehicle can be parked and the doors on each side opened safely
Each of the functions provides the driver with clear instructions via the cluster display, and uses the Park Distance Controls, Flank Guard and Camera systems (where fitted) to help warn the driver of objects in close proximity during the manoeuvre. Multiple shuttles back and forward may be required to complete the manoeuvres safely and accurately.

2014 Range Rover Sport brings 7 seats or really 5 seats and 2 “occasional” ones #NewRangeRoverSport
My use of “occasional” above is actually comes directly from the PR.
· New 5+2 third row seating option for occasional use
the practical flexibility provided by the option of 5+2 third row seating for occasional use.
The third row is designed for occasional use, and power-folds flat into the floor to preserve cargo versatility.
with a spacious and flexible interior that offers the option of occasional use “5+2” seating
• Rear seats now offer adjustable recline and climate control, with a 60/40 split, while the versatility of occasional 5+2 third-row seating can be specified as an option.
Okay, I’ll stop – here’s the rest of the PR on those seats:
For additional versatility, neatly integrated third row seats can be optioned, and provide “5+2” third row seats designed for occasional use. These seats split 50/50 and are designed to be suitable for children and teenagers. They may also be used for adults on short trips. The second row seats tip and slide forward to provide access to the third row using a convenient lever on the backrest with one-hand operation. The second row seats also provide 3.8-inches (100mm) fore/aft movement to allow customers a flexible choice of space in the rear seat rows and in the luggage compartment.
The third row seats include power operation, and can be raised/lowered electrically using controls mounted on either side of the cabin and within the luggage area. When folded, the third row seats leave a flat floor, with no loss of capacity in the luggage compartment when compared to the 5-seat model.
