Even with the new Stealth Pack, the 2015 Land Rover Range Rover Sport is anything but subtle

By Stephen Edelstein June 16, 2014

A massive luxury SUV like the Range Rover Sport isn’t exactly stealthy, but you’ve got to give Land Rover credit for trying.

The British carmaker will unveil a Stealth Pack accessory package for the 2015 Range Rover Sport at the 2014 Goodwood Festival of Speed later this month. While it doesn’t really lower the Sport’s profile, it doesn’t do any aesthetic damage either.

Quite the opposite, actually. The satin-black grille, fog-lamp bezels, vents, mirror caps, and tailgate trim really pop. So do the 21-inch or available 22-inch wheels. With so much brightwork blackened, the Range Rover Sport might even look genuinely stealthy in a dark color.

The Stealth Pack will only be available on the top HSE Dynamic and Autobiography Dynamic models. That means buyers will be able choose from a 3.0-liter supercharged V6 (HSE) with 340 horsepower, or a 5.0-liter supercharged V8 (Autobiography) with 510 hp.

Both engines are paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Land Rover reckons the V6 model will do 0 to 60 mph in 6.9 seconds, while the V8 will do it in five seconds flat.

Land Rover is expected to begin taking orders for the Stealth Pack later this year,with deliveries beginning in early 2015.

Rivian R2 vs Hyundai Ioniq 5: Should you wait for the Rivian R2?

Rivian R2

Rivian has taken the wraps off of the Rivian R2, an electric SUV that's similar to the much-loved R1S, but smaller and, crucially, cheaper. But the R2 goes up against some serious competition. The likes of Hyundai have been building solid EVs for some time now -- including the Hyundai Ioniq 5.

The R2 and the Ioniq 5 each make a compelling case for themselves, and they're likely to end up being similarly priced if the Ioniq 5 doesn't get much cheaper and the R2 does end up being sold at $45,000. To be fair, the cars are pretty different -- the R2 is more of an SUV, while the Ioniq 5 is much more crossover-sized. But because of their similar price, you might be deciding between the two. How do they compare? We put the Rivian R2 and the Hyundai Ioniq 5 head-to-head.

The differences between the Rivian R2 and the Hyundai Ioniq 5 are perhaps no more apparent than when it comes to design.

The 6 best remote car starters in 2024

Best car remote starters

While some modern vehicles come standard with remote start features, it's still relatively uncommon. That's a shame because if you live somewhere where cold weather, snow, and ice are frequent concerns, a remote car starter is one of the best auto accessories you can have. If you're not familiar with them, a remote car starter works similarly to a key fob, except it will actually start your car from a distance instead of just unlocking the doors or trunk. That means you can start your car from the warm comfort of your home or office before venturing out. If you live somewhere hot, you can even start your car and let the AC run for a little bit. You'll never enter a freezing cold or scorching hot vehicle again.

The best remote car starters have long ranges, replaceable batteries, and other handy features — but how do you know which is best for you? We’ve compiled a list of the best car starters in a range of prices and features. Keep in mind that while you can install some yourself, some will require a professional.
