The RR Sport is the sportier version of its flagship model – the full size beautiful beast known as the Range Rover. The Range Rover Sport is a full size luxury SUV that also can take on any kind of terrain that comes in front of it. In terms of price, the closest competitor is the Porsche Cayenne, but in terms of performance, the only competitor that comes close is the BMW X5.
Design & Styling
The new Range Rover has got a distinct and historic design, and its silhouette can be identified by anyone who understands cars and SUVs. The massive front hood with its clear rectangular head lamps, the smooth wheel arches, the black coloured A,B and C pillars, the sloping roofline towards the rear, and the side gills, is how you can easily identify this car. It looks massive, it looks very simple and practical, and it still is very intimidating and sharp. This is perhaps the best looking SUV that is capable of doing just about anything. The car now gets a sharper mid section with additional lines to make it looks more aerodynamic.

Interiors
The interiors of the Range Rover are super luxurious and very comfortable. There is ample amount of space for all occupants and at the same time there is more than enough storage space. The seats are also very comfortable and all occupants are immersed in a luxurious surrounding. The instrument cluster is beautiful with its digital layout and the dashboard is very modern in its design with plenty of technology. On the whole, this is one of the best interior layouts in a SUV.
Engine & Transmission
The RR Sport comes with a 2993cc turbocharged diesel engine that pumps out 288bhp and a massive 600Nm of torque. The engine is simple spectacular and is mated to an equally spectacular 8-speed automatic transmission.
Performance and Handling
The Range Rover is a beast on the road. The engine is so powerful, and even though the car weighs over 2100 kg, it can still accelerate from 0-100 in just 6.9 seconds. The acceleration is really good and thanks to the torque, this car can really move well. The handling has also been improved because the car is lighter than the Range Rover. It seems to be a bit on the soft side, but you can’t really blame the engineering, because this is a full size SUV afterall. The suspension setup is just simply amazing and you feel nothing in the cabin as the car cruises over the highway or city streets. Again you have adaptive suspension and different driving modes that help you adjust your setting for your driving. This means the car is so easy to drive no matter what surface you are on, and when off-road you really get to see the true colours of this magnificent machine.

Safety
Safety features include plenty of airbags, ABS, hill start assist, hill decent control, electronic bark brake, traction control and roll stability assist.
Quality & Reliability
The quality is top notch in this car and in all other Land Rover Vehicles. The engineering is also brilliant and thee cars are meant to take you where no other can, and at the same time still be extremely reliable and built to last extreme conditions.
Value for Money
The Range Rover Sport is very expensive, it is probably one of the best SUVs in the world, but it is definitely not worth the price you are paying for it. Its value is slightly overrated.
Verdict
This is a phenomenal machine that has everything you could ever ask for. But it’s too expensive. You could buy a Porsche Cayenne for the same price, or save half your money and invest in a Toyota Land Cruiser that performs just as well.
