If you want to dress it up even more, the 2018 Range Rover Sport is available with a new Carbon Fiber Exterior Pack that adds Gloss Black and Carbon Fiber additions to the grille, fender vent and hood vent surrounds, as well as the door mirror covers and tailgate finisher.
Inside the biggest update is the new Touch Pro Duo infotainment system that features two 10-inch touchscreens. In front of the driver there’s also the 12-inch digital display and a full-color head-up display. The interior also gets slimmer seats with new Ebony/Vintage Tan and Ebony/Eclipse themes. Semi-Aniline Leather is also available. Lastly the powered roof sunblind can now be closed or opened with a simple hand gesture.
