Review

I always liked the idea of the Range Rover Sport but to me the interior was always too close to the LR3/Discovery and no where near the Range Rover. The 2010 model has addressed this biggest flaw and at the same time brought the standard model up to a performance level which is worthy of the word "sport". I took delivery on Friday and drove 500 miles over the weekend on a combination of highways and back roads. The car feels very solid on the highway with great control on the more winding roads and the seats are superb. Its a big step up in comfort from my old ML550 but performance isn't close to the ML but certainly on the right side of adequate.

Favorite Features

New interior, long distance comfort, solid feel, upgraded engine's performance.

Suggested Improvements

Exterior looks too much like last years model - only a LR geek will spot the new model. Non availability of the 360 degree camera. Some interior trim hasn't been fitted properly, hope this isn't a warning of future build quality related reliability issues...awful fuel economy but what did I expect?

Review

I remember test driving the first Range Rover Sport, and leaving confused as to how they could name such a slow vehicle "sport." Finally the 2010 version earns the name. The 5 Liter engine provides plenty of punch which actually seems faster then the 7.2 0-60 listing. Even better, the interior finally looks and acts like a luxury vehicle. Big touch screen, leather & wood, keyless entry and the Ipod, USB docks. I just wish there was a little more differentiation between this one and it's predecessor. Only a trained and peering eye picks up on the subtle styling cues. If you're on the fence about this car, have the salesperson take you on the off-road track. You'll be sold. Cheers

Favorite Features

Bigger Engine, Upgraded Electronics, Driving manner inspires confidence.

Suggested Improvements

Land Rover has come up with an ingenious 5 camera option in addition to the standard backup camera which allows the drive to see everything. Unfortunately some idiot underestimated the demand for this hot item, and so it won't be available for months, and the wife couldn't wait. Way to go Genius
