Continued enhancement and refinement best describes the changes for the Range Rover Sport for 2009. These include a refreshed exterior trim, new wheel designs and improvements to the interior craftsmanship enhancing the premium feel.

The exterior enhancements are focused around the refreshed rear end details, which include body colour finish to the tailgate trim, revised tread mat (on upper surface of rear bumper), the addition of clear-lens rear lights and clear lens side indicators.

The dramatic stance of the vehicle is further enhanced with the addition of a third 20 inch alloy wheel design, available in painted silver or a diamond turned finish. The new wheel style is complemented with the addition of a shadow chrome finish now available for the first time on the existing 10 spoke 20-inch alloy wheels.

The introduction of three new metallic paint colours - Santorini Black, Galway Green and Bournville (black with a hint of brown) - further differentiates the 2009 Range Rover Sport.

The desirability of the Range Rover Sport is further enhanced with the introduction of Noble, a metallic plate finish, on the centre console sides, air vent bezels and door pull handles to emphasise the clean architectural graphics of the cabin. Premium leather with diagonal stitching is now available on door inserts in Ebony, Almond and Ivory.

"The Range Rover Sport excels in its delivery of on-road performance, best in class comfort and refinement, with incredible off-road ability across any terrain. Range Rover Sport is now regarded as the quintessential sports tourer," says Roger Jory, Land Rover Australia's General Manager.
