Range Rover Sport (L494) parts and spares

About the Range Rover Sport (L494)

The second-generation Range Rover Sport launched in South Africa in 2013 and switched to an aluminium body that shares much of its engineering with the L405 Range Rover. Locally it was sold with the 3.0 SDV6 diesel, the 250kW 4.4 SDV8 diesel and supercharged petrol engines, including the 3.0 SCV6, the 5.0 V8 and the 423kW SVR. Later updates added six-cylinder mild-hybrid petrol engines. Every version uses an eight-speed automatic and adjustable air suspension. Used L494s appear regularly in South African classifieds, and a CAR magazine used-buying guide highlights the areas most owners eventually deal with: electrical and infotainment faults, air suspension failures, oil leaks, turbocharger problems and cooling system components such as radiators and water pumps. The diesels add diesel particulate filters and, from 2016, AdBlue selective catalytic reduction, which bring their own sensor faults. For a parts buyer, the L494 is a vehicle where getting the exact engine right is essential, because SDV6, SDV8, supercharged V6, V8 and later hybrid engines share very little. Suspension parts are closer to the L405 than to the older L320, which is a common source of wrong orders. Send us your VIN and engine designation and we will confirm fitment before quoting.
