The 2010 model year Range Rover Sport made its debut at the New York Auto Show in April 2009. The Sport experienced a mild facelift with a more aerodynamic front-end including new headlamps, grille and bumper. Also new are revised taillamps and rear bumper. Interior revisions are more significant with a new fascia, steering wheel, door linings, seats, instruments and switchgear. The new model has more leather apparent and nearly 50 percent less dash bound buttons than the current model. Three new engines have made their debut. These include an all-new direct injected, all-aluminium 5.0 litre petrol V8 in naturally-aspirated and supercharged guises as seen in Jaguars latest range of high performance vehicles. The naturally aspirated model produces 283 kW (385 PS; 380 hp) whilst the supercharged produces 373 kW (507 PS; 500 hp). Also new is a heavily revised 3.0 litre version of the current 2.7 litre TDV6 producing 180 kW (240 PS; 240 hp) and 600 N·m (440 lb·ft), adapted from Jaguars AJ-V6D Gen III. This engine features parallel sequential turbochargers - a single variable geometry turbocharger and a single fixed geometry turbocharger which is only active when required as seen on the Jaguar XF Diesel S. All of the new engines produce increased power and torque over their predecessors whilst delivering better fuel economy and reduced CO2 emissions. Fitted with a sixth generation twin-vortex supercharger with an improved thermodynamic efficiency of 16 percent, the new 5.0 litre supercharged engine produces 29 percent more power and 12 percent more torque than the current 4.2 litre engine, yet CO2 emissions and fuel consumption are improved by 5.6 percent and 6.2 percent respectively. The new 3.0 litre TDV6 engine produces 29 percent more power and 36 percent more torque than the 2.7 litre engine, yet CO2 emissions and fuel consumption are both improved by 9 percent. The 2010 model year Sport is also fitted with the new ZF HP28 6-speed automatic transmission. Designed to improve performance and efficiency, the new transmission engages the lock-up clutches of each gear earlier after selection. Suspension refinements have also occurred with the introduction of the worlds first production damping system using model-based predictive technology that continually optimise the settings of the new DampTronic Valve Technology damper units to optimise vehicle ride and control. Further improvements to the award winning Terrain Response system have taken place for 2010. Revisions to the rock crawl programme reduce roll when traversing boulders delivering a more composed ride over rocky terrain. The addition of a new 'sand launch control' prevents wheels digging in when driving away in soft sand thanks to revisions to the traction control system. The Hill Descent Control system has also been enhanced with the addition of Gradient Release Control, which inhibits the initial rate of acceleration when descending steep inclines. The new LR4 shows a slight variation of the Sport's front.
