Range Rover is teasing the up-coming unveiling of its re-worked best-selling model: the Range Rover Sport.

The all-new Range Rover Sport is set to debut at this year’s New York Auto Show on March 26th. The newest version of the infamous luxury British SUV will debut in what Land Rover is calling “a ground-breaking live drive” through the streets of Manhattan.

It’s an apt location for the unveiling as New York City stands as the Range Rover Sport’s strongest sales market. Why exactly, we can’t say. Why urbanites like those in Manhattan would need a 510-horsepower 4×4 is beyond us. But bully for Range Rover, we suppose.

Under the hood of the most responsive and agile model to-date, we anticipate two drivetrain options. The new supercharged 3.0-liter V6 from Jaguar, which was just recently added to the new big daddy Range Rover, will certainly become the latest entry-level engine for the Range Rover Sport. Producing 335 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission, the all-aluminum V6 will add much-needed fuel efficiency to the Range Rover Sport.

At the top end, we suspect the 5.0-liter, 510-horsepower Jaguar V8 with an eight-speed auto to remain as the range-topper.

Standing as the third Range Rover model to premier in two years, the Range Rover Sport shouldn’t be too drastically different. With a new interior and exterior looks to mimic the big Range Rover, the Sport should remain relatively the same.

We won’t know more until the official unveiling later this month at the New York show, which starts on March 27.

Digital Trends will have car-crazy staffers at the show getting photos and the latest breaking news on the new Sport and everything else.

Top Tech of CES

Las Vegas is overrun. Every billboard in town is shouting about AI, hotel bar tops now sport a sea of laptops, and after hours The Strip is elbow to elbow with engineers toting yard-long beers.

That means CES, the year’s biggest tech bacchanalia, has come to town, and Digital Trends editors have spent the last four days frolicking among next year’s crop of incredible TVs, computers, tablets, and EVs. We’re in heaven.

Sony and Honda’s Afeela 1 EV makes more sense at CES than in the real world
Afeela 1 front quarter view.

The Sony car is almost here. After its creation via a joint venture with Honda in 2022 and two years’ worth of prototypes, the electronics giant’s Afeela brand is finally taking reservations for its first electric vehicle, with deliveries scheduled to start in 2026.

But will it be worth the wait? Coinciding with the opening of reservations, Sony Honda Mobility brought updated prototypes of the Afeela 1 (as it’s now officially known) to CES 2025, representing what California customers (Afeela is only taking reservations in that state) who put down a $200 refundable deposit can expect when they take delivery.

Bose wants to dominate car audio, and I heard its next-gen 3D automotive speakers

Bose’s automotive audio business is huge, and it’s set to get even bigger. The company has been making big plays in car audio for some time now. The audio company works with premium brands like Porsche, building high-end speakers that allow drivers to experience high-quality audio on the road, whether they’re carting the family around in an Escalade or weaving around the highway (don’t do that) in a Porsche Macan.

But while it has a solid selection of audio brands under its belt, the world of personal audio is also evolving. Mercedes-Benz showed off its Dolby Atmos system at CES last year, and now, a year later, plenty of other brands are joining the trend. At CES 2025, Bose walked me through its current lineup of automotive audio products, as well as a sneak peek of what’s to come.
Immersive audio
The big trend in all areas of personal audio right now essentially boils down to supporting 3D audio formats like Dolby Atmos. Consumer home theater products are increasingly offering up-firing and side-firing speakers that can bounce audio around the room to simulate height and surround effects, while headphone brands are increasingly developing spatialized audio tech that can convert stereo audio into simulated spatial audio.
