The car takes control over the steering wheel and directs the trailer while the driver maintains control of the throttle and the brake. Similar to Ford’s Pro Trailer Backup Assist, the Range Rover’s system displays a rear camera view of the trailer and allows the driver to indicate the intended direction of the trailer by twisting the rotary knob for the Terrain Response system. A Drive Pro Pack adds a few more systems including adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and blind-spot assist that can intervene with steering corrections if the driver attempts to change lanes while a vehicle is detected in the Range Rover’s blind spot.įor those Range Rover owners who tow, there’s also a new system called Advanced Tow Assist that is said to make it easier to reverse with a trailer. An optional Drive Pack adds blind-spot monitoring and a new system called the Intelligent Speed Limiter, which can read speed-limit signs and restrict the car from going over the limit (reassuringly, the system can be turned off). Lane-departure warning, automated emergency braking, and rear park-distance control are now standard on all models. The Range Rover Sport already offered several active-safety features as options, but the equipment packages have been rejiggered for 2017 to accommodate some fresh features. Unfortunately, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are still not on the menu, although the new system does support integration for more smartphone apps. An All-Terrain Info Center that displays off-road information like vehicle geometry and wheel placement is new, too. The software behind the touchscreen, called InControl Touch Pro and already in some Jaguar Land Rover products, is also new to the Sport, and Land Rover says it’s easier to use than before and enables pinch and swipe functions. Range Rover hasn’t yet provided photos of the 2017 Sport’s interior, but the biggest change is a larger, 10.2-inch touchscreen to replace the previous model’s 8.0-inch screen. The only change you’ll be able to spot from the outside, however, is a new range of 19 available colors provided by Land Rover’s Special Vehicle Operations division.
