2007 Land Rover Sport 08MY upgrade

Just in time for the yet to be determined new owners to take over, Land Rover have spruced up their global hit – the Range Rover Sport. Not wanting to mess too much with a winning formula Land Rover have restricted themselves to adding a few goodies and introducing “new high quality finishes”.

The front passenger now gets an electrically adjustable seat as standard on all models, while a powered steering column adjuster, improved Bluetooth system and a larger choice of trim options are now available.

Apart from giving new owners something to boast about, the minor changes have been introduced with the upcoming BMW X6 “sports” SUV in mind. The Land Rover Sport is such a cool looking car that we don’t think they have anything to worry about. The BMW X6 isn’t likely to turn too many people away from the Land Rover Sport but an electric seat for the passenger will no-doubt be the clincher...

Three new colours will be available as part of the update while pricing remains unchanged for the entry level diesel with the V8 diesel and petrol models rising by $1,000 each.

Land Rover Sport pricing

Turbo-diesel V6 - $87,900

Diesel V8 - $108,900

Petrol V8 - $108,900

Petrol V8 s/c - $136,900

    Quite right, Steane, it is a "winning formula". I do like the Range Rover Sport - even if it is a compromised off-roader (low profile shoes really weren't made for rock crawling).

    Though, I'm curious - why are the snow chains just on the front wheels? Wouldn't the rears be more prone to slipping in the white stuff?
