If you compare images of the 2023 and the 2022 Range Rover Sport, you’d be hardpressed to point out any differences, other than a sleeker, more polished exterior in the 2023. It’s an all-wheel drive as well, as expected from a top-end sports SUV.

But it’s a huge overhaul under the hood, and under the dash.

BIGGER, BETTER... LIGHTER

To begin with, it’s lighter than its closest predecessor (the 2022 Range Rover Sport) by 150 pounds. This is despite the fact that the 2023 is the larger car, with more muscular proportions.
