Another level in interior luxury
The interior has a sophisticated and modern appearance, incorporating distinctive Range Rover Sport design cues and providing the driver with a luxurious and sporting cockpit.  For the new model, the strong, architectural forms of the design have been enhanced by a cleaner, purer surface treatment, beautifully executed using top quality materials.

Building on the signature Range Rover Sport interior architecture, the centre piece of the cabin is the bold intersection between the strong horizontal elements of the instrument panel and the vertical lines of the centre stack. The dynamic character of the cockpit is enhanced by the faster angle of the centre stack, with its striking satin chrome pillars which flow from the instrument panel through into the rear cabin and the aluminium accents that flow from the centre console into the fascia.

The sporting ambience of the interior is also reflected in the smaller diameter, thicker rimmed steering wheel, vertical gear shifter and seats with more generous side bolsters.

The front and rear seats feature a more sculptured design with enhanced padding to the front and individual seating in the second row.  Special attention has been given to providing increased rear seat comfort, offering improved rear legroom (+24 mm knee room) and shoulder-room.

Interior storage space has been increased on all models, with a larger glove box, more generous door bins, twin cup holders in the centre console, very large central armrest storage, plus improved cup holders in rear armrests
