2008 Land Rover Range Rover Sport Road Test Ratings

Exterior design is superb, but the supercharger-powered engine offers less performance than expected.

Powerful, but rather disappointing performance for something marketed as "Sport."

Ride is a bit firmer than a Range Rover, but still tolerable even with optional 20-inch wheels.

Some of the controls are over-complicated, most notably the audio system. Power folding exterior mirrors are a welcome addition.

The Range Rover Sport's exterior design is its best feature. The interior design, however, is too derivative of the LR3, and shares its fit and finish issues.
