Driving in the snow

Last night I was in a bit of a tangle with the snow, and for the first time ever I required use of the off road facilities of my car. Using snow mode I was just amazed at how effortlessly the car ripped through the snow without even trying. We came across multiple vehicles which were stranded and for the first time I truly appreciated the capability of this car.

Having said that I was in the Vogue loan car but I assume the sport would perform the same.

They do what it says on the tin................however, I have made good progress in significant snow in a large, heavy, RWD automatic saloon just by having winter tyres fitted. MY2016 HSE D SDV6 - gone due to fuel dilution problems.

United Kingdom 2006 Range Rover Sport TDV6 HSE Cairns Blue

I took the dogs out yesterday onto Salisbury plain, as you put it in snow mode with my winter tyres fitted and it was effortless. Nobody else around and it was eerily quiet. Dogs loved it. 2006 2.7 TDV6 HSE in Cairns Blue.

Winter tires make all the difference, had summer tires on a previous range sport and it was pretty useless in the snow, fitted winter tires and it would literally go anywhere, complete night and day difference Thumbs Up 2018 Range Rover Sport SVR arrived but now rejected!
