The Range Rover Sport Battersea Edition has arrived in Australia, bringing exclusive styling details and additional standard equipment to the British luxury SUV range.
Priced at $179,990 drive-away, the special edition is available through Australian Range Rover retailers while stocks last. The offer excludes government, fleet and rental buyers.
The Battersea Edition takes its name from London’s Battersea district, known for its mix of industrial heritage and modern architectural development. It builds on the Range Rover Sport Dynamic SE, adding distinctive exterior and interior details alongside several equipment upgrades.
Under the bonnet, the Australian-market model is listed with the D250 powertrain, a 3.0-litre six-cylinder twin-turbo diesel engine paired with mild-hybrid technology.
It produces 183kW of power and 600Nm of torque, with drive sent to all four wheels through an eight-speed automatic transmission.
Land Rover claims combined fuel consumption of 7.3L/100km, while the SUV retains a braked towing capacity of 3500kg.

Three exclusive colours and red interior accents
The Battersea Edition is available in three exterior paint finishes, namely Firenze Red, Fuji White and Santorini Black.
The special edition also receives several styling changes inside the cabin, setting it apart from the regular Dynamic SE.
These include Pimento Red contrast stitching and matching red seatbelts, alongside Natural Black veneer featuring Battersea Edition script. Exclusive treadplates and centre console badging further distinguish the limited-run model.
The changes are largely cosmetic, but give the special edition a more distinctive identity without altering the underlying mechanical package.
More standard equipment than the Dynamic SE
A significant part of the Battersea Edition’s appeal is its expanded standard equipment list.
The exterior gains privacy glass, black brake calipers, Soft Door Close functionality and a sliding panoramic roof.
Inside, buyers get 20-way electrically adjustable front seats with heating, ventilation and memory functions. The rear seats are also heated and electrically reclining.
The special edition additionally includes the Cold Climate Convenience Pack, which brings a heated steering wheel, heated windscreen and heated washer jets.
The Technology Pack adds a ClearSight interior rear-view mirror, head-up display, domestic plug socket and Park Assist.
Other standard features include a Meridian 3D Surround Sound system and Wi-Fi connectivity with data plan capability.
This gives the Battersea Edition a fairly substantial equipment advantage over the standard Dynamic SE, particularly for buyers who would otherwise consider adding optional comfort and technology packages.
Where it sits in the Range Rover Sport range
The Battersea Edition has a recommended retail price of $159,900 before on-road costs, making it $8300 more expensive than the D250 Dynamic SE on which it is based.
For context, the D250 Dynamic SE is listed at $151,600, while the more powerful D300 Dynamic SE and P380 Dynamic SE are both priced at $165,500 before on-road costs.
The $179,990 drive-away offer therefore puts the special edition above these variants on its advertised pricing, although its additional equipment and exclusive trim are part of the package.
Buyers will need to weigh up whether the extra features and limited-edition styling justify the premium, particularly when the more powerful D300 Dynamic SE is also available in the range.
The Range Rover Sport Battersea Edition is on sale now through Australian Range Rover dealerships, with the $179,990 drive-away offer available while stocks last.
