The 2025 Range Rover Sport has a modern, impeccably tailored interior and a wide range of powertrains, including two plug-in hybrids. But its high price and lackluster driving experience hold it back from besting other performance-oriented luxury SUVs on the market.Read full review

Overview
Don't let the name fool you. Sure, the 2025 Range Rover Sport is a bit sportier than the slightly bigger, even more expensive regular Range Rover, but that's kind of like saying a three-piece suit is sportier than a tuxedo. Comfort, luxury and design are still the top priorities, albeit not to the same degree as with its big sib. If anything, "variety" would be a better name thanks to six powertrain offerings, including multiple V8 and plug-in hybrid models. The regular Range Rover can't match that, nor can most competitors.
Cost to DriveCost to drive estimates for the 2025 Land Rover Range Rover Sport P360 SE 4dr SUV 4WD (3.0L 6cyl Twincharger gas/electric mild hybrid 8A) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of $4.36 per gallon for premium unleaded in Illinois.
Every Range Rover Sport is a hybrid, but it's important to note that there are different types of hybrids. The P360, P400, P530 and SV Edition are mild hybrids. Effectively, this means that an electric motor assists the gasoline engine to improve performance and fuel economy, but it cannot power the vehicle by itself and the efficiency gains are consequently nowhere close to what you'd get with a regular hybrid (think a Prius). Then there are the P460e and P550e plug-in hybrids, which have large batteries that can be plugged in to exclusively power the vehicle for extended distances as well as dramatically improve efficiency. They operate as regular hybrids once their all-electric range is depleted or you don't plug in.
Competitors to consider
If you're really looking for something sporty that's perhaps a plug-in hybrid, the Porsche Cayenne is your best bet. It too offers a plug-in hybrid powertrain and its performance is worthy of its Porsche badge. It's not as stylish or luxurious as the Range Rover Sport, but sampling from the extensive customization list can certainly close the gap. The Mercedes-Benz GLE is another good alternative. It offers multiple powertrains and can be optioned up to lavish standards. Finally, you might check out the all-electric Rivian R1S. It delivers plenty of modern style and technology along with helpful go-anywhere capability.

edmunds TESTED
We drove the 2025 Land Rover Range Rover Sport on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team
conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.
How does the Land Rover Range Rover Sport drive? The Range Rover Sport is available with a variety of powertrains, and our test vehicle was equipped with the midlevel 395-horsepower P400. At the Edmunds test track, it accelerated from 0 to 60 mph in 5.8 seconds, which is adequate acceleration for a luxury SUV. Unless you're in the sporty Dynamic drive mode, the vehicle can feel slow to respond when you suddenly press on the gas.
Despite the name, the Range Rover Sport isn't really sporty around turns. It lacks grip, and the stability control system intervenes abruptly at relatively modest speeds. The suspension is softly tuned, so the Range Rover Sport leans in corners and doesn't feel agile.
Comfort
8.2/10
How comfortable is the Land Rover Range Rover Sport? There's a certain level of comfort expected from anything wearing this badge, and the latest Range Rover Sport partially delivers. The seats have excellent padding and decent support in both rows. It's generally quiet, too, with only a mild amount of wind and road noise entering the cabin. And the air suspension lowers to make it easier to get in and out or install a car seat. But the climate control system is a letdown with loud fans and air conditioning that shuts off when the engine's stop-start feature engages at stoplights, allowing the cabin to warm quickly.
In-cabin tech
8.5/10
How’s the tech? The infotainment system's graphics look high-class in both the touchscreen and the instrument cluster, adding to the Land Rover's upscale aesthetic. But the functionality of the overall system doesn't quite match that of systems in luxury rivals like BMW and Mercedes. Device integration is a strong suit, with five USB charging ports (four USB-C, one USB-A) and a wireless charging pad. Wireless connectivity for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay smartphone integration is standard and worked well in our time with the Range Rover Sport. There is an app to remote start and unlock and lock the vehicle, but no digital key is offered. You can add an activity key, however, that's waterproof and fitted to a bracelet you can take running, surfing, cornholing, whatever rocks your boat.
Save as much as $3,190 with Edmunds Click on the trim you’re interested in to see what Edmunds suggests you should pay to get a good deal. Savings vary by trim; $3,190 refers to estimated savings off of MSRP for the P635 SV Edition Two trim.

How’s storage and cargo? The Range Rover Sport offers 31.9 cubic feet of cargo space behind the second row. Fold down the 40/20/40-split rear seats and the area opens up to 53 cubic feet. Those are midpack numbers for the class, with rivals from Mercedes and BMW offering more space in the rear. We do like the buttons to raise and lower the rear seats from the cargo area. The air suspension can also be lowered with the touch of a button to make loading and unloading cargo easier.
Storage up front isn't quite as good. While the center console is deep, the small opening limits what you can put inside. Also, the largest bin is below the sliding cupholders and can't be accessed without removing drinks. Seems like a bad design to us.
Value
7.4/10
Is the Land Rover Range Rover Sport a good value? The Range Rover Sport is one of the most premium SUVs you'll find on sale today, but be prepared to pay for that luxury. The interior looks and feels better than most of the competition, with a clean design and lots of upscale materials for the trim on the dash, doors and center console. The leather upholstery is soft, and nothing you touch feels cheap. But Land Rover charges more for the Range Rover Sport than rivals from Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz and others.
Land Rover includes a four-year/50,000-miles basic and powertrain warranty.
How’s the fuel economy? Setting aside the available plug-in hybrid powertrains, the Range Rover Sport has EPA-estimated fuel economy between 18 mpg and 22 mpg combined depending on which engine you opt for. Our SE Dynamic had the P400 inline six-cylinder powertrain that's estimated at 22 mpg combined. That's about average for the class. On our mixed-driving evaluation route, we saw 20.2 mpg, a bit disappointing given that most vehicles at least meet if not exceed their EPA combined estimates in our testing.
X factor
8/10
The third-generation Range Rover Sport looks and feels more like the full-size Range Rover than ever. The design is clean and buttoned-up rather than all in your face with a massive maw of a grille. The Range Rover lineup as a whole is wider than ever, taking a bit of the charm and exclusivity out of the equation, but overall the Range Rover Sport packs the premium feel that we've come to expect.
That charm, though, is dampened by a less-than-stellar driving experience. While few off-roaders are as comfortable as the Range Rover Sport, numb feedback and the soft suspension sap most of the fun out of driving on the street. A comfortable cruiser, sure, but the Sport isn't nearly as engaging on a day-to-day basis as its rivals.
Which Range Rover Sport does Edmunds recommend?
We had not tested the new P460e plug-in hybrid at the time of this writing, but its specs at least deserve a mention as a Range Rover Sport version we would seriously consider. As it is, though, we'd recommend the base P360 SE. It's equipped almost identically to the P400 Dynamic SE that costs about $7,000 more and its performance deficit is minimal (5.7 seconds versus 5.2 seconds, according to Land Rover's estimates). The "Dynamic" in the P400's name entirely refers to its style upgrades. Most features included on upper trims are even optional on the P360 SE.
The 2025 Land Rover Range Rover Sport has a mixed sentiment from owners. Many owners love the car for its smooth ride, luxurious design, and reliable performance. Some owners are unhappy with the lack of physical buttons, making the touchscreen hard to use while driving, plus several mentions of technical and software issues. A few owners also reported problems with customer service and the high cost of the car.

2023 Land Rover Range Rover Sport P400 SE Dynamic 4dr SUV 4WD (3.0L 6cyl Twincharger gas/electric mild hybrid 8A)
More buttons and features than I every imagined. The best riding vehicle that I have ever had. It's sleek and stylish, but also functional. I can change the cabin lights to fit my mood :) Two things that I wish it had is auto start and the audo/channel buttons for the radio on the back of the steering wheel, just for convenience. I would have looked for a different one on the lot with … auto start, but loved the way this one looked so I stuck with it after the test drive.
