Rent Land Rover Range Rover Sport 2022 in Dubai

The new Range Rover Sport swapped the old twin-screen dashboard for a single curved glass display and gave the door handles a flush, deployable design that only pops out as you approach, a change an owner of the outgoing car would notice inside a minute of climbing in. We rent the Land Rover Range Rover Sport 2022 in Dubai and can have it at your hotel, villa or the airport within one to two hours of booking. This is the first model year of the third-generation L461, the shape Land Rover revealed here in Dubai in May that year, and if you are weighing it against the older Sport still on our fleet, the real question is what that redesign changes beyond the way it looks.

The drivetrain, and what the redesign changes underneath

Under the bonnet is the same starting point every Sport in this generation gets: a 3.0-litre mild-hybrid inline six making 355 hp and 500 Nm, sent through an eight-speed automatic to all four wheels. Zero to 100 km/h takes about six seconds, quick enough to close a gap on Sheikh Zayed Road in one push of the pedal, but this is the entry petrol rather than a car built to chase a stopwatch. If outright drama is what you want from a Range Rover Sport, the V8 further up the range is the one to look for, not this.

What the new L461 platform actually buys you shows up in how the car sits through a corner and how quiet it stays doing it. Air suspension comes standard here rather than as an option people skip, and it settles the ride over expansion joints more convincingly than the outgoing car managed. Rear-wheel steering is new to this generation too, and it tightens the turning circle enough to matter the first time you swing into a tower ramp instead of creeping around it in three moves.

Seats, the boot and what fits inside

Inside, the redesign is just as real. The old dual-screen layout is gone, replaced by a single curved glass touchscreen and a fully digital driver display, both quicker to read at a glance than the layered menus the previous Sport made you dig through. It matters more than it sounds like it should when you are trying to find the parking-sensor toggle while easing into a tight bay.

Five seats is what you get, there is no third row on the Sport. Two adults sit comfortably behind two tall front seats, and the rear middle position suits a child better than a fourth adult on a long airport run. The boot holds 835 litres behind the rear seats, enough for a full set of cases without folding anything, and it opens past 1,800 litres with the seats down for a supermarket run before guests arrive.

At 4,946 mm long and just over two metres wide across the body, this is a big car for a multi-storey mall bay, and the rear-wheel steering earns its keep more here than anywhere else, shrinking the effective turning circle so U-turns and awkward corners ask for less wrestling than the footprint suggests. Ground clearance rises to around 278 mm on the air suspension, so speed bumps and steep entrances pass without a thought. Salik tolls and any RTA fines picked up during the rental come back to you, as on any car here.

Running costs, premium fuel and a black cabin in summer

The tank holds 90 litres of premium petrol, and the official combined figure sits around 10 to 11 L/100km. Treat that as a best case rather than a promise. A week of Dubai traffic with the AC working hard pushes real consumption higher, so budget for more stops than the spec sheet suggests.

This particular Sport is finished in black, which is worth knowing before a July pickup. A dark colour holds more heat than a lighter one, so a cabin left in an open lot for a few hours starts its cool-down from a hotter baseline. The climate system is strong enough to catch up without straining, and it cools evenly rather than favouring the front seats and leaving the back warm, so rear passengers settle within a minute or two of setting off. On the worst afternoons, cooled front seats take the sting out of hot leather when you climb back in. Park in shade or a basement level where you can, and that first stretch is easier again.

Who this fits, and when the outgoing Sport makes more sense

Rent the Land Rover Range Rover Sport 2022 if the redesign is the point, the new cabin screen, the standard air suspension, the tighter turning circle from rear-wheel steering, and arriving in the shape people will recognise as the current Range Rover Sport rather than the one it replaced. The age-21 minimum is a genuine advantage too, since most Dubai desks hold this class back until 25.

Look at the outgoing Sport still on our fleet if the badge and the ride matter more to you than the redesign, since it carries most of the same presence for a lower rate. And if four adults with a full set of airport luggage is the actual brief, the full-size Range Rover has more rear space than any Sport, this one included. Go in with the terms clear. As a premium SUV this rents against a refundable deposit confirmed at booking rather than a no-deposit option, your allowance is 250 km a day with AED 0.5 for each extra kilometre after that, and doorstep delivery to your hotel, villa or the airport usually takes one to two hours.
