The Range Rover Sport -- an all-new sports tourer sports utility vehicle from Land Rover -- was officially unveiled to Oxfordshire drivers at a regional launch.

Local residents and VIP guests joined staff from Hartwell Land Rover at its Cumnor showroom for the exclusive event and toasted the muscular new model's future success.

Speaking at the preview, Steve Alexander, dealer principal said: "The Range Rover Sport is the best-performing, best-handling vehicle Land Rover has ever built and is set to storm the UK motoring scene. It is designed to combine dynamic ability with outstanding comfort and refinement, taking Land Rover into the exciting performance SUV market.

"The Range Rover Sport has real street presence.

"Its powerful stance, muscular wheel-arches, raked roofline, and tailgate-mounted rear spoiler are a serious statement of intent that will appeal to drivers that want to stand out from the crowd."

The Range Rover Sport is on sale at Hartwell Land Rover, with prices starting from £34,995.
