SUSTAINABILITY
Range Rover Sport demonstrates Land Rover’s
commitment to enhancing the sustainability of
its products and operations. With its lightweight
aluminium structure and optimised powertrains,
Range Rover Sport addresses the growing
consumer need for more socially acceptable
vehicles in a carbon-conscious world.
Its greener credentials stem from a comprehensive
approach to reducing environmental impact
throughout the life cycle of the vehicle, from
development and manufacturing, to customer
use and end-of-life.
SUSTAINABLE BY DESIGN, WITH
LIFE CYCLE APPROACH
In order to minimise the vehicle’s overall ecological
impact, Range Rover Sport is designed with
a life cycle approach, aiming to minimise the
environmental impact by considering the entire
life cycle of the vehicle.
Each element of the life cycle was analysed with
a view to consuming fewer natural resources,
using more sustainable materials and minimising
the generation of waste.
The development process has included a full life
cycle assessment in line with ISO 14040/14044.
Range Rover Sport’s aluminium construction
makes a major contribution to its reduced carbon
footprint. Up to 50 percent of the aluminium
material is sourced from recycled content, resulting
in a significant saving of energy and CO2 emissions.
Recycled and renewable materials are used
wherever possible in the Range Rover Sport. High
specification vehicles use up to 26.7kg of recycled
plastics, diverting over 11,800 tonnes of plastic
from landfill during the carline’s life. Natural and
renewable materials, such as the luxurious leathers
and veneers, represent 28kg of each vehicle.
INTELLIGENT STOP
START SYSTEM*
To ensure the greatest possible fuel efficiency,
all Range Rover Sport powertrains incorporate
low CO2 technologies such as the advanced
Intelligent Stop/Start System, which improves
fuel consumption by between 5 and 7 percent.
The system automatically shuts down the engine
at rest and starts it again as soon as you lift your
foot off the brake. It features a Tandem Solenoid
Starter with a dedicated secondary battery for
instant restarting.
*Feature dependent on market availability.
