Increased benefits are currently offered in the 2012 Land Range Rover Sport with its exceptional 3.0-litre V6 diesel engine, that has improved fuel economy with reduced CO2, and still has an increase in power. The CO2 emissions have been cut down dramatically because of the low flow fuel injection system. The 211PS engine had emissions decline from 243g/km from last years version to 224g/km and the new 256PS model has 230 g/km versus last years 245PS which had 243g/km.

The new and highly efficient ZF 8HP70 8-speed automatic gear box is partially the cause of the much better fuel economy. The Range Rover Sport additionally comes with a paddle shift installed on the steering wheel and a rotary gear shift selector, in addition to the new 8-speed gearbox. The 5.0 LR-V8 Supercharged remains unrevised and still awe-inspiring for 2012 along with its supreme power. Together with the diesel particulate filter, Land Rover's diesel engines are regarded as the cleanest in the industry. This amazing sport vehicle features some cosmetic changes in colors and details plus enhancements in the design and equipment.

This coming year, drivers will be able to easily individualize the lift height using the new powered tailgate. The passenger as well as the driver will be able to view what they want at the same time aided by the next generation 7" touch-screen with optional Dual View technology. The entertainment system just for the back seat has been improved using WhiteFireTM Wireless Technology. The Premium sound devices have been enhanced a significant amount for improvements in performance, now offering 825W of power on the Premium Harmon Kardon LOGIC 7. Drivers can make use of voice commands on premium systems with the new 'Say What You See' voice command, using step-by-step prompts on the screen.

The 2012 Range Rover Sport continues to be a good value having its solid performance and strong fuel efficiency. The engine efficiency, reduced fuel emissions and fantastic new options help the Range Rover continue to be the symbol of power and refinement for 2012. The Range Rover has had virtually no major technical changes, still offering a 309bhp 4.4-litre TDV8 turbo diesel engine. By means of 503bhp Supercharged LR-V8, the SUV should go from 0-62 mph in just over six seconds which includes a max of 370bhp.

Even though a supercharged car can be cool, you should look at the diesel. Not really very many SUV's are able to claim a combined EU fuel economy cycle of at least 30 mpg. If you do not gun the engine, the experience is very silent despite the powerful engine. In case you are looking for a highly efficient but powerful SUV, then the 2012 Land Rover Range Rover Sport may be exactly what you are looking for.
