The Command Driving Position is part of Range Rover’s DNA, providing peerless visibility and complete confidence when judging the vehicle’s dimensions. New front window panels and slim pillars provide an improved view out to the front and side, balancing the familiar Range Rover Command Driving Position with a cockpit-like seating position. This is achieved by a 20mm drop in driving position compared with New Range Rover, a higher, angled centre console, a faster rake to the windscreen and a sloping roofline. A smaller diameter steering wheel gives a more sporting feel.

The sense of engagement is enhanced by the availability of 22-way adjustable, heated and ventilated electric memory front seats with massage function and winged headrests. They provide all the support required during dynamic driving, while delivering effortless comfort on longer trips. This extends to the rear cabin, where heated and ventilated seats with power recline and winged headrests are available. The seat base angle provides enhanced support with more legroom than before – improving comfort and support in all types of driving.
PURE AIR: ENHANCED WELLBEING
New Range Rover Sport is available with Cabin Air Purification Pro with PM2.5 Filtration and nanoeTM X technology for the healthiest and purest quality cabin air. The advanced air filtration systems work in harmony to significantly reduce odours, bacteria and allergens, including the SARS-CoV-2 virus1.
The advanced technology is active in the air, condensing moisture from cabin air and breaking it into electrically charged particles. This creates a high voltage that produces Hydroxyl (OH) radicals in nano-sized water molecules, which react with contaminants in the air. Over 30 minutes of usage, the system is 97 per cent effective in eliminating viruses, bacteria and pollutants, independently tested in laboratory conditions. In another independent test, nanoeTM X technology has shown more than 99 per cent elimination against Covid-19. A second nanoeTM X device for the rear cabin ensures the system is effective for all occupants.

Air quality can be constantly monitored for consistent and enhanced occupant wellbeing via the CO2 Management function, with an intuitive display showing the air quality levels inside and outside the vehicle. The cabin air can be cleansed before a journey with the Purify function, which can also be used on the move to neutralise any pathogens that have been introduced to the cabin, complementing the standard climate control by continuously purifying the air at the touch of a button.
Not only does the Cabin Air Purification Pro System contribute to the wellbeing and health of occupants, the purer air inside the vehicle also enhances concentration and alertness for a heightened driving experience. This is achieved by introducing fresh air when required after constant monitoring of carbon dioxide levels inside the vehicle.
ACTIVE NOISE CANCELLATION (2)
The baseline refinement delivered by the flexible MLA architecture is augmented by next-generation Active Noise Cancellation technology. It allows customers to enjoy undiluted sounds from the powertrain by filtering out unwanted road and tyre noise. In this way, the system enhances refinement, allowing occupants to easily hold conversations, listen to media or simply enjoy the soundtrack of the powertrain.
Active Noise Cancellation is an integral feature of the new flagship Meridian Signature Sound System and uses individual single-axis accelerometers to measure structure-born noise, with microphones that measure airborne noise located in each wheelarch. These monitor sound and modulate the Active Noise Cancellation to continuously and instantaneously generate a cancelling signal played through the system’s 29 cabin speakers, to actively remove additional road noise frequencies of up to 1kHz before they reach cabin occupants. In this way the system operates faster than the speed of sound – detecting and masking unwanted sounds before they reach the ears of occupants.
The cabin speakers, which include a pair of speakers in the headrests of each of the four main seating positions, work in a similar way to high-end headphones. They cancel out the widest possible range of frequencies detected by the accelerometers and microphones to create ‘quiet zones’ for each individual, helping make New Range Rover Sport three decibels quieter inside than its predecessor.
The system allows more of the sound from New Range Rover Sport’s powertrains to come through during dynamic driving. Controlled via a central Audio Domain Controller, it responds to the selected driving mode to optimise the acoustic experience and provide a greater sensory connection for the driver.
Selecting Dynamic mode raises the level of the authentic powertrain sounds reaching the cabin. This brings a new level of duality to the driving experience, providing customary Range Rover quiet in Comfort mode and an even more thrilling and rewarding drive when Dynamic mode is activated.
