2021 Land Rover Range Rover Sport: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for the 2021 Range Rover Sport is the arrival of the HSE Silver Edition and SVR Carbon Edition. This is otherwise a light update, with revised diesel and plug-in hybrid trim placement plus improved cabin air filtration.
About the 2021 Land Rover Range Rover Sport
2nd generation Range Rover Sport (2014-2022), late-cycle update year after the earlier mid-cycle refresh.
Land Rover positions the Range Rover Sport as the brand’s luxury performance SUV: quicker and more road-focused than the full-size Range Rover, but still built to handle rough weather, towing, and real off-pavement use. Its core appeal is the blend of strong engines, a rich cabin, height-adjustable air suspension, and genuine all-wheel-drive capability. For most buyers, it is the Range Rover experience with a more athletic feel and a slightly less formal personality.
The 2021 lineup ranges from the six-cylinder SE and more richly equipped HSE Silver Edition to plug-in hybrid and supercharged V8 models. The HSE Silver pairs Windsor leather and heated and ventilated front seats with a panoramic glass roof, while the luxury-focused Autobiography adds 22-way front seats and a 19-speaker Meridian audio system. At the performance end, the SVR and SVR Carbon Edition use a 575-hp supercharged V8, with the Carbon Edition adding exposed carbon-fiber details inside and out.
What changed, by category
Powertrain
Diesel availability was consolidated into the HSE Silver Edition TDv6, while the previous HSE Td6 and SE Td6 trims were dropped. The HSE plug-in hybrid also moved into the new P400e HSE Silver Edition Hybrid trim structure.
Styling
The HSE became the HSE Silver Edition with Shadow Atlas exterior details and distinctive 21-inch wheels. A new SVR Carbon Edition added an exposed carbon-fiber hood section and carbon-fiber exterior, interior, and engine-bay trim.
Safety
The HST’s rearview camera became standard rather than optional.
Tech
The cabin air ionization system gained a finer PM2.5 filter for small airborne particles. The dual-screen infotainment system carried over.
