Overview

Compared to the Range Rover on which it's based, the Range Rover Sport is shorter in length and slightly lower. As the name indicates, the Sport puts more of an emphasis on handling and on-road performance, while keeping a quiet and comfortable interior. It does, however, retain an impressive level of off-road prowess. The Range Rover Sport is a fast and agile performer, thanks to its lightweight all-aluminum construction and supercharged or turbocharged engine options. Compared to other models in its class, the Range Rover Sport doesn't make as much of a sacrifice in ride quality for handling and off-road prowess, while its feature set and luxurious cabin appointments are a step above some in the same price range. Key rivals include the BMW X5, Porsche Cayenne, Mercedes GLE and Infiniti QX70.
