7-inch touch-screen is included with optional Dual View technology,

Significant specification and performance improvements have been
made to the Hi-ICE and Premium audio systems which have been
upgraded to the MOST Gen 2.1 electrical architecture, offering a
staggering 825W of power through 17 speakers on the Premium Harmon
Kardon LOGIC 7. The new ‘Say What You See’ voice
command on premium systems helps the driver learn commands with
useful step-by-step screen prompts and allows the use of spoken
short codes too.
"The enhancements to the 2012 Range Rover Sport will ensure this
car retains its position as one of the most economical and dynamic
high performance SUVs on the market today." said John Edwards, Land
Rover Global Brand Director.
Powered tailgate for greater convenience
A new powered tailgate has been introduced as standard from
Luxury models upwards for 2012. Operated by the button located on
the fascia, the key fob or tailgate, the lift height can now be set
by simply holding the tailgate at the desired height and pressing
the tailgate button for 10 seconds. The height can be overridden to
accommodate other drivers, providing effortless use and greater
convenience to the user.
Enhanced interior and external design revisions across
the range
The external design and interiors of the Range Rover Sport,
Autobiography Sport and Limited Edition are all upgraded for
2012.
For the Range Rover Sport, there are changes to the rear
tailgate graphics to create a distinctive new look and a Gloss
Black treatment to the headlight inners and grille surround. The
TDV6 derivative now sports a Dark Atlas grille whilst the Luxury
variants take on the Light Atlas. The Supercharged model can now be
fitted with a new 20" alloy wheel option finished in Sparkle Silver
with high-gloss lacquer and adopts the Atlas grille surround.
Interior colour ways on both the Autobiography Sport and Limited
Edition have been refreshed for 2012 with a headlining option of
Ebony Morzine joining the interior line-up. Subtly revised colour
schemes to the grille and fender vents, bonnet badges and tow-eye,
as well as body colour door handles, have been made across the
range.
Infotainment levels significantly upgraded for
2012
The introduction of MOST Gen 2.1 electrical architecture to the
Hi-ICE and Premium audio and infotainment systems sees a
significant upgrade for the 2012 Range Rover Sport. There’s
new connectivity supporting DVD audio formats on the Hi-Line and
Premium systems, a Hard Disc Drive Music server, Dual Tuner to give
a seamless signal, iPod and video streaming by USB, audio streaming
by Bluetooth and two USB ports are located in the console lid. Rear
seat entertainment is further enhanced with the availability of
WhiteFireTM wireless technology incorporating cordless headphones.
The Hi-ICE Harman Kardon System has been upgraded from 9-speakers
to 11-speakers and the output boosted from 240W to a substantial
380W. The Premium Harman Kardon LOGIC 7 system has seen the most
dramatic improvement, from 14 to 17 speakers and an almost
unbelievable increase in output power from 480W to a staggering
825W.
For the first time on a Range Rover Sport, the next generation
7-inch touch-screen offers Dual View technology. Dual View first
appeared on the Range Rover for 2010, allowing the driver to view
the navigation display whilst the passenger watches a DVD.
Hard Disc Navigation systems include Traffic Message Channel
(TMC) and destination entry by voice. The new ‘Say What You
See’ voice command on premium systems helps the driver learn
commands with useful step-by-step screen prompts and allows the use
of spoken short codes.
Deliveries of 12MY Range Rover Sport will commence from
November. Pricing will be advised closer to launch date.
