For the new 2023 Range Rover Sport, that involved driving nearly 300m up the spillway of the Karahnjukar Dam in Iceland, against a torrent of water moving at 750 tonnes/min, and up a 25-degree incline. The danger of getting it wrong? A 90m drop off the end of the spillway into the valley below.

The new Range Rover Sport proves its mettle by driving up the spillway of an Icelandic hydroelectric dam


Reductionism continues inside the cabin, with switches kept to a bare minimum. In their place is JLR’s all-new Touch Pro Duo infotainment system, which mates the 10-inch screen in the usual position with another similar screen at knee level. Other physical switches — such as the steering wheel controls and climate control buttons — have all been replaced with touch-sensitive buttons for a minimalist feel.

The transmission’s adaptive shift strategy monitors acceleration and brake inputs, lateral cornering forces, kickdown requests and even the severity of gradients, before choosing one of 25 pre-determined programmes to seamlessly adapt to driver behaviour and road conditions. Sportier driving triggers more aggressive gearshifts and defers upshifts until higher revs, for instance.

A powerful sports car on stilts? Looking at the numbers, it seems so - you can have one now


The F-Type SVR is based off the quickest variant, the “R”, and is available either as a coupe or convertible. To ensure there’s no mistaking the SVR’s status as as the fastest Jaguar on sale, an extended front bumper with larger intakes looks the business and improves cooling and reduce drag. The wider front end is complimented by a front splitter and vented fenders while a new rear undertray and spoiler help reduce lift and create a purposefully aggressive look. Redesigned forged 20 inch wheels and “SVR” engraved exhaust tips finish off the exterior.

Jaguar’s Special Vehicle Operations have comprehensively revised the F-Type to be faster and more focused; predictable results ensue.


The Range Rover Sport comes with air-suspension, so that means off-road capability is not an issue at all. Raise it up and you can easily climb kerbs or sand mounts, leaving the rest of the world behind. Which also encourages you to be playful on gravel and grassland (#justsaying). We tried, so we know. And the thing is, the Germans do not give you the same amount of assurance to do such antics…

A sporty Range Rover sounds like real fun...


First up: The looks. The Range Rover Sport is still as big and imposing, even though we noticed several “softer” features. The grille has been replaced with a less prominent two-bar design instead of the older three. The lights still maintain their shape, but the front lamps have been updated with a ring of LEDs that form the daytime running lights, while the lights in the rear get a subtle work-over.
