Why generation-changing Range Rover Sport remained conservative?

When fans got to see the new Range Rover, they were delighted as the British designers kept the model’s familiar image but made it visually ‘cleaner’. Now this trick has been reversed with the Range Rover Sport crossover, which also changed generations.
With the generational change, the Range Rover Sport is 67mm longer and the wheelbase has increased by 74mm. As a result, the cabin has become noticeably more spacious. The interior itself basically repeats the Range Rover’s interior, but the Sport model relies on a flatter center console, as well as a different steering wheel – with three spokes instead of four.
A curved (!) 13.1-inch screen is “suspended” over the front panel, trained to vibrate when pressed. To make it easier, the interior designers have kept the classic microclimate control panel, believing that such a solution is more comfortable and safer than the newfangled purely sensory “dice”.
In terms of technology, the novelty offers adaptive shock absorbers and air suspension, in addition, the patented eHorizon chassis control system receives information from the navigator to literally change the rigidity of the chassis before every turn!
For an additional cost, there are active stabilizers that can “bloom” off-road. In addition, you can order the Stormer Handling Pack, which additionally includes an active rear differential and a fully steerable chassis.
The engine range is a three-liter diesel “six” D250 (249 hp), D300 (300 hp) and D350 (350 hp), as well as petrol P360 (360 hp) and P400 (400 ls) of a similar volume . The P530 version deserves a special mention, which offers a 530 hp BMW V8 biturbo.
The transmission uses an eight-speed “automatic” and a two-speed transfer case, and the four-wheel drive itself is built around a multi-disc clutch, which controls the connection of the front axle. All this economy is aided by the Terrain Response 2 electronic system.
