谍照记者上一次是在纽伯格林赛道拍到了揽胜Sport SVR改款车。某些人可能禁不住会认为，从该车的前保险杠判断，这款车还是一辆SVR版本，但考虑到这辆原型车搭载的是一台3.0升涡轮柴油引擎，因此情况并非这样。这意味着的普通的揽胜Sport还将采用更具侵略性前保险杠和更大进气口。车身其他部分并未改变，但路虎设计师还准备对后保险杠进行小改款，另外前大灯和尾灯组也将有细微变化。同时提供更多车身涂装和合金轮圈选择。最近，谍照记者拍到了改款车内装照片，显示车内信息娱乐系统集成了更大触控显示屏。现行版配备的InControl Touch系统集成的是8英寸显示屏，而改款车可能配备的是10.2英寸显示屏。目前最新款发现Sport和极光已经配备了该显示屏。预计新车仍将搭载原来的引擎，SVR版本搭载一台5.0升V8机械增压引擎，该引擎在F-Type SVR上的功率为423千瓦/575马力，扭矩700牛米。路虎可能会选择在今年10月巴黎车展发布2017款揽胜Sport改款车，随后将于年底上市。

 

Range Rover Sport facelift spied with bigger touchscreen

The last time we saw Land Rover at the Nürburgring it was testing the facelifted Range Rover Sport SVR and now they were working on the lesser version. Some would be tempted to say this is also an SVR judging solely by the appearance of the front bumper, but that’s not the case as this prototype had a turbodiesel 3.0-liter engine under its hood. This means the regular Range Rover Sport is about to get a more aggressive front bumper with wider air intakes.

 

The rest of the car appears to be unchanged, but most likely Land Rover’s designers are also preparing a mildly revised rear bumper and there could also be slightly different graphics for the headlights and taillights. Some fresh alloy wheel designs along with a more extensive body color catalog could be on the menu to add a bit of variety.

 

What’s really interesting about the prototype is noticeable inside the cabin where Land Rover installed a wider touchscreen display for the infotainment. You can get the current Range Rover Sport with the 8-inch version of the InControl Touch system, but the facelifted model will jump to the more generous 10.2-inch variant already available on the latest Discovery Sport and Evoque.

 

Expect the engines to be largely carried over, with the exception of the supercharged 5.0-liter V8 inside the range-topping SVR which could be bumped to an F-Type SVR-matching 575 horsepower (423 kilowatts) and 516 pound-feet (700 newton meters) of torque.

 

Chances are Land Rover will introduce the 2017 Range Rover Sport facelift at the beginning of October during the Paris Motor Show and will have it on sale before the year’s end.
