Upcoming Range Rover Sport Rendered

With the introduction of the new Range Rover already underway, next on the agenda is the smaller Range Rover Sport. The Range Rover Sport was launched in 2005 and got a facelift in 2010. Next year, Land Rover will finally bring a vastly improved version, which is not only lighter, but better looking too. Codenamed L494, the second generation Range Rover Sport will adopt the new Range Rover's D4u platform, which is made of aluminum, resulting in an overall weight loss to the tune of nearly 900 lbs. Interior room will be increased thanks to a longer wheelbase, and a 7-seat version is also rumored. Both the exterior and interior will be influenced from the Range Rover Evoque. The company will offer the same range of diesel and gasoline engines, mated to an 8-speed ZF automatic gearbox. Prices are expected to go northwards with sales starting in the latter half of 2013.
