Evouqe diesel makes sdv6 sport feel slow

My 2012 sdv6 sport is at the dealer having some issues sorted out and they gave me a 66 plate diesel Evouqe to use till mine comes back. Drove it tonight for the first time and it's a little rocket ship and after the sport feels quick. I know it's half the size and weight but I'm impressed.
Not sure what model it is but it's a high spec one and is lovely inside just a little small for my liking.
Never liked the look of the Evouqe from the outside but once inside what a nippy thing it is.

Just wish my sport picked up and went as well as the Evouqe I've got at the mo. 2017 SVR. SVO Scafell grey Ebony interior

Get the Sport re-mapped by Alive/BAS - apparently it makes a big difference. Ask Buckster on here Thumbs Up

As much as I would like to have my car mapped I need to be careful as still have 22 months Land Rover warranty and don't want to risk loosing that.
Is there anyone that offers a remap that is approved by Land Rover? 2017 SVR. SVO Scafell grey Ebony interior

do you have to tell your insurance company if you have a remap? and do they put your premium up accordingly? Merc C220 estate Sport AMG

Yes, and yes. Mine went up a whole £20 when I told them I had it mapped for increased performance and economy.

United Kingdom 2012 Range Rover Sport SDV6 HSE Orkney Grey

I had an original Freelander as a loan car from my indie recently. Wasn't actually that bad other than headroom was a bit lacking. They usually have FL2s available but they were all out already - the FL is the "back up" for busy days, apparently.

Not a patch on dealer loan cars, admittedly, but they charge half the hourly rate and generally do the work properly. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Fully agree. Took one for a test drive when released, was totally unimpressed.
At the tine I had a Freelander HSE and the interior of the sport HSE was nothing compared to the freelander.

Yes, it drove better, but for the price, no thanks.
Went and then drove a XC60 R design and lived it, much better seats and overall felt a better car. Just bought a RRS 06 MY HSE TDV6 136,000 miles, to be a second car to my bland, boring Mitsubishi Outlander 68 plate 2.0 petrol 4
