2017 Range Rover Sport SDV6 Autobiography

“ A well looked after & much loved car, with a recent service and MoT to boot! ”
It is in excellent all-round dynamic, mechanical and aesthetic condition.

Background
With 2013’s L494, the Range Rover Sport came of age. Gone was the anachronistic separate chassis of its forebear, and in its place was a sophisticated all aluminium monocoque, a development that took the model to the top of the mid-sized luxury 4x4 tree.

As the second generation of the Range Rover Sport, the L494 brought significant advancements in design, technology, and performance.

It sat between the compact Evoque and the flagship Range Rover, catering to drivers who wanted a more engaging driving experience without compromising on the luxury and capability synonymous with the Range Rover brand.

From an exterior design standpoint, the L494 Sport maintains the distinctive Range Rover DNA, while adopting a more athletic and streamlined silhouette. The sloping roofline and sculpted lines give it a dynamic and youthful appearance, differentiating it from the rather more stately Range Rover.

Under the bonnet the L494 Range Rover Sport offers a range of powerful engine options, catering to diverse driving preferences.

Sophisticated suspension systems, including air suspension, contribute to the Sport's adaptive and responsive driving dynamics, while advanced four-wheel-drive systems, terrain response technology, and adjustable ride height, ensure that it can confidently tackle challenging off-road conditions.

So, you can use it as a Chelsea tractor, or an upmarket mobile picnic venue, or

you can make the most of its bush-bashing capabilities and get yourself from Timbuktu to Ouagadougou quicker than an angry camel.

Basically, it’s whatever you want it to be on any given occasion.

Overview
The vendor purchased the car in December 2022 from Saxtons, the major Land Rover, SUV and prestige car dealer.

At the time of purchase, the odometer was reading some 47,000 miles. Today, the figure is a perfectly reasonable 86,000.

The car is in very good overall condition, a fact that no doubt owes much to a full, comprehensive and timely history of maintenance and servicing.

The car starts, goes, presses on, handles, grips and stops with all the urge and competence you would hope for, thanks in no small part to the 3-litre twin turbo diesel engine which gives it 302 bhp of grunt and 516 lb.ft of twist.

This particular Sport is very highly spec’d and optioned.

The list of goodies and extras is a long one, but here are a few highlights.

Panoramic glass roof with electric blind, rear privacy glass, automatic tow bar, illuminated sill plates, premium Meridian sound system, 360° parking cameras, ‘stealth pack’ black grilles, trim and badging, black ‘turbine’ 22” alloy wheels with red Brembo callipers, ambient interior lighting, rear TV entertainment system with headphones and remote, heated steering wheel and rear seats, heated and air-conditioned front seats, front armrest fridge, adaptive cruise control, paddle shifters,

‘Ivory’ aniline leather upholstery and interior trim, Alcantara headlining, two extra pop-up rear seats….and probably some other stuff we haven’t found yet.

Basically, apart from a wine cellar, a jacuzzi and a trouser press, this car has grabbed pretty much every option available to it.

One interesting addition we spotted was a badge at the rear announcing a previous owner’s membership of the Cresta Run Shuttlecock Club, entry to which demands that potential members must officially crash and fall out at the infamous Shuttlecock corner on the Cresta Run in St. Moritz, Switzerland…and survive.

There are no formal dues or applications - membership is said to be ‘by invitation of the ice.’

Now that’s an exclusive club.

Estimate: £15,000 - £18,000
