SAFETY
ENHANCED DRIVER AND
PASSENGER PROTECTION
Range Rover Sport’s optimised aluminium body structure protects occupants using
an incredibly strong and stable safety cell. The crash structure is extensively optimised
using computer simulation tools, which allows engineers to conduct a significant number
of ‘virtual’ crash tests long before physical prototypes are available.
The occupant safety package includes a comprehensive system of airbags and restraint
systems including driver and passenger airbags, side curtain and thorax airbags and seat
belt pretensioners* which are linked to the vehicle’s emergency braking functions.
*Front, outer second row and third row seats only.
CURTAIN AIRBAG
WITH ROLLOVER SENSING
In the event of a side impact or rollover, these are deployed
to provide greater protection against head injuries.
SEAT BELT PRETENSIONERS*
Provide additional protection in the event of a front impact
by reducing the forward movement of the occupant.
DUAL STAGE DRIVER AND
PASSENGER AIRBAGS
In a severe impact, the airbags fully inflate to offer the
highest levels of protection. In a lesser impact, they
partially inflate.
