#2017 range rover incontrol touch pro drivers
The Sport sits high up, enabling drivers and passengers the ability to peer above traffic with an alpha-male dominance. Rather, it’s only when you compare it with smaller cars in traffic does it strike you as a huge colossal brick. The Sport’s sleek and layered proportions make sure of that. The 4x4 menu has also been updated with better graphics and off-road features.įrom afar, the Sport doesn’t look like a terribly large SUV, not so much as its full-size Range Rover brother. New features for 2017 include Low Friction Control (also in Jaguars), which when selected, assists drivers when pulling away from standstills on low grip surfaces, such as in the rain or snow.
The resolution quality is remarkable, and the ability to transform it into a fullscreen live map (think Audi’s Virtual Cockpit) is very attractive and useful for road trips into unchartered territory. Still, favouriting station channels by pressing the tiny star icon can be challenging when trying to keep both eyes on the road ahead.īy far the biggest improvement is to the driver’s gauges, which are now all digital. The ability to pinch, zoom, and scroll is a neat addition as well. Lag between press-and-response has been mitigated, and the menus are overall more intuitive. It hardly changes the driving experience, except with a bigger, wider, and more colourful touchscreen.
All new is the 10-inch infotainment system (which replaces the outgoing 8-inch) that Land Rover calls InControl Touch Pro, which was also featured and tested in the Evoque and Discovery Sport we drove a few months ago. I’m test driving the 2017 model, which is essentially the exact same model from 2016 but with a few minor tweaks mainly in the tech department. Sure, the Rover’s celebrity looks and snobby appeal might turn some people off, but if you’re looking to spend some money on a capable, beautiful, and solid three-row SUV, then the Range Rover Sport should be on your short list. But it seems to only take a few minutes behind the wheel before the Sport’s British charm wins over my emotions, yet again.Įverything from the way it looks to the way it drives brings me back to solid ground.
It’s been over a year since I last drove a Range Rover Sport, and since then I’ve piloted many of its competitors, like the BMW X5, Mercedes-Benz GLE, and Volvo XC90.
