by Trish Whelan. Land Rover have announced the arrival in Ireland of its new Range Rover Sport which is an additional fifth nameplate for the Land Rover brand.
Designed to complement the renowned Range Rover — which continues as the company's flagship — the Range Rover Sport is a completely new vehicle, a more compact, more agile and more performance-orientated SUV, according to Land Rover Ireland's MD David Harpur.
It is available with 2.7-litre V6 diesel and a brace of V8 petrol engines, one of which is supercharged. Prices start from €70,200.
The big seller is expected to be the diesel.
