Last updated August 4, 2026

The biggest change for the 2017 Range Rover Sport is a standard 10.2-inch Touch Pro touchscreen across the lineup. This is a meaningful technology and equipment update, not a full redesign, and it also brings broader driver aids and the new 380-hp HSE Dynamic trim.

About the 2017 Land Rover Range Rover Sport

2nd generation (L494, 2014-2022), late pre-facelift update year before the larger 2018 refresh.

Land Rover positions the Range Rover Sport as the performance-focused member of the Range Rover family: quicker and more driver-oriented than the full-size Range Rover, but still a true luxury SUV with genuine off-road ability. Its core appeal is the mix of strong road manners, available V6 and V8 power, air suspension, towing and trail capability, and an upscale cabin. For most shoppers, it is the Range Rover for people who want both luxury and a more athletic feel.

The 2017 lineup ranges from the straightforward SE and more luxurious HSE to several high-performance versions, all with full-time four-wheel drive and height-adjustable air suspension. The new HSE Dynamic adds a 380-hp supercharged V6 and dark exterior details, while the 510-hp Autobiography emphasizes cabin comfort and the 550-hp SVR provides the most aggressive performance setup.

What changed, by category

Tech

The newer Touch Pro infotainment system with a larger 10.2-inch touchscreen becomes standard across the lineup.

Safety

Driver-assistance features expand for 2017. Autonomous emergency braking and lane departure warning join the standard equipment, while blind-spot, lane-support, rear cross-traffic, and trailer-assist functions broaden the safety offering.

Powertrain

The new HSE Dynamic joins the range with a 380-hp supercharged 3.0-liter V6. The other gas V6, diesel V6, 510-hp V8, and 550-hp SVR V8 powertrains carry over.

Styling

The new HSE Dynamic brings a sportier appearance with a contrasting black roof and dark exterior trim. The basic body design otherwise carries over.
