2023 Land Rover Range Rover Sport: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2023 Land Rover Range Rover Sport is fully redesigned, marking the start of its third generation on the new MLA-Flex platform. The overhaul brings a new body and cabin, a revised engine lineup and major upgrades to its screens, suspension and driving technology.
About the 2023 Land Rover Range Rover Sport
3rd generation (L461), first year of the redesign
Land Rover positions the Range Rover Sport as a sporting luxury SUV: more driver-focused and more assertive than the larger Range Rover, but still unmistakably a Range Rover in comfort, design, and all-terrain ability. Its core appeal is the blend of clean modern styling, a high-tech cabin, strong road presence, real off-road hardware, and a wide spread of electrified and high-output powertrains. For most shoppers, it is the Range Rover experience with a sharper edge.
The P360 SE is the everyday luxury version, with a 355-hp mild-hybrid six-cylinder engine, air suspension and two large digital displays. The P400 SE Dynamic adds more power and sharper exterior details, while the P440e Autobiography pairs a plug-in hybrid system with an estimated 51 miles of electric driving. The launch-year P530 First Edition is the performance model, using a 523-hp twin-turbo V8, all-wheel steering and advanced suspension hardware.
What changed, by category
Structural
The Range Rover Sport moves to the new MLA-Flex platform for its third generation. The more rigid structure is joined by standard dynamic air suspension across the lineup.
Styling
The exterior and cabin are completely redesigned with cleaner bodywork and a simplified, more digital dashboard. The new P400 SE Dynamic receives distinct bumpers, body-color lower trim and darker exterior details.
Powertrain
The new lineup consists of 355-hp and 395-hp mild-hybrid six-cylinder engines, a 434-hp six-cylinder plug-in hybrid and a 523-hp twin-turbo V8. The SE is renamed P360 SE; P400 SE Dynamic, P440e Autobiography and P530 First Edition join the range, replacing the previous HSE Silver Edition, HST, P400e, P525 and SVR variants.
Tech
A curved 13.1-inch touchscreen and a 13.7-inch digital driver display replace the previous cockpit layout. Wireless Apple CarPlay, wireless Android Auto and wireless phone charging are fitted across the new range.
Safety
Adaptive Off-Road Cruise Control debuts to manage speed over rough terrain. The camera and driver-assistance package adds a 3D surround view and ClearSight Ground View, which shows the area directly ahead and beneath the front of the vehicle.

2023 Land Rover Range Rover Sport
(417 reviews)
“jut a great driving experience. great looks and quality fit, finish, and materials.”
“I'm very disappointed that Land Rover does not offer a more advanced Driver Assistance package such as Super Cruise. Also, it was a terrible mistake to leave out auto-locking and unlocking. It should lock automatically when I leave without me having to get the key out and push the button or the door handle, and it should open automatically when I approach the car.”
