Spy shots and videos of the 2024 Land Rover Range Rover Sport: an SUV without camouflage.

Land Rover has just announced a redesigned Range Rover, and soon a redesigned version of the smaller Range Rover Sport will arrive. The debut is set for May 10.

A prototype of the Range Rover Sport was spotted again.

Land Rover is also testing a prototype of a redesigned version of the high-performance Range Rover Sport SVR. Both the regular version and the SVR should be available around the end of the year as a 2024 model.

Spy shots reveal that the new Range Rover Sport will have a very similar shape to the current model sold since the 2014 model year.

Most of the differentiation will come from graphic elements such as the fascia and lights, especially the headlights, which will likely feature a slimmer design.

Underpinning the car is a new platform, MLA (Modular Longitudinal Architecture), which was supposed to debut with the redesigned Jaguar XJ but instead debuted with the new Range Rover The XJ redesign is part of Jaguar was cancelled as part of a plan to make the brand more upscale.

The MLA platform is designed to be compatible with both internal combustion and electric powertrains and will eventually underpin most Land Rover models (a second platform, named EMA, for Land Rover's small crossovers The MLA platform is lighter than the aluminum-heavy D7 platform that underpins the current Range Rover Sport.

Most of the Range Rover Sport's powertrain is expected to be shared with the Range Rover. That is, the base 3.0-liter inline-6 engine and mild hybrid setup (395 hp), the 3.0-liter inline-6 engine and plug-in hybrid setup (434 hp), and the 4.4-liter BMW V-8 engine (523 hp). The Range Rover Sport SVR will feature an even more powerful version of the V-8 (perhaps 600 hp or more).

A battery-electric powertrain will also eventually be offered. Range Rover will offer an electric option in 2024, and Range Rover Sport shortly thereafter. Land Rover plans to electrify six models in its lineup by 2026. And by 2030, all Land Rovers will be electrified or have electric powertrain options.
