Automakers typically redesign their vehicles every five to six years. But push the life cycle longer, and they run the risk of having an overly dated product.
Land Rover hasn't fully redesigned its Range Rover Sport since the 2014 model year. Compared to some newer luxury SUVs (including some even in Land Rover's own lineup), the Sport might come across as a little dated. Thankfully, there have been enough recent updates to keep the 2020 Range Rover Sport a viable pick.
The Sport may be an old-timer, but it looks just as fresh as the brand's newer SUVs. Credit is due in part to a significant refresh in 2018 that updated the interior with a new infotainment system, a secondary touchscreen for the climate controls, and more. And late last year, Land Rover swapped out the previous supercharged V6 engine for a new turbocharged inline-six engine. This engine, thanks to a mild hybrid system, is more fuel-efficient while still maintaining a robust amount of power.
For 2020, a new four-cylinder plug-in hybrid powertrain (Land Rover calls it the PHEV or P400e) is available. It produces about 400 horsepower, and Land Rover says it can travel 22 miles in EV mode before the gas engine kicks in. It should be an intriguing pick for prospective owners who do more city driving than adventuring off-road.
While the Range Rover Sport still feels spry, the segment has gotten more competitive recently. The BMW X5 was redesigned last year, and the Mercedes-Benz GLE and the Audi Q8 are all-new. You might even want to check out Land Rover's sleek new Velar. But overall, we think the Range Rover Sport manages to be pretty compelling against this fresh batch of rivals.
Which Range Rover Sport does Edmunds recommend?
Though packed with desirable features, the SE doesn't offer much in the way of customization. Available feature packages and stand-alone options are limited for this base model. We think it's worth paying a little extra for the HSE. It comes with two of the SE's packages, plus a few more features that luxury buyers should expect. It also opens the door to a pair of alternate powertrains — the P400e plug-in hybrid and P525 supercharged V8, along with an expanded list of optional features.
Land Rover Range Rover Sport models
The 2020 Land Rover Range Rover Sport is a midsize luxury SUV offered in five main trim levels: SE, HSE, HST, Autobiography and SVR. Five-passenger seating is standard, and a power-folding third row that boosts capacity to seven passengers is available on all trims except the HST, models with the plug-in hybrid powertrain and the SVR.

1/5 stars, QUALITY IS HORRIBLE
Kevin C,
P400e HSE 4dr SUV 4WD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo gas/electric hybrid 8A)
Everything you’ve read about Land Rover is true. This is my second and last Range Rover sport. There’s a ton of electrical glitches, fuel system sensor issues, braking issues, and now 3 of the 4 door locks needed replaced. $2,700 and of course they refused to cover it. Really? I don’t even think a Kia has ever had 3 door locks fail simultaneously and then tried to claim it’s not a bad batch of defective parts. The dealership rips you off as much as possible, and Land Rover USA is worthless. It’s a gorgeous suv, but it’s a nightmare to own. And ridiculously expensive. Bad company, bad service, and overpriced. Will be selling this thing and getting a new hybrid Lexus suv. $30k cheaper and way more reliable. Do yourself a favor, ignore the great looks of range rovers and buy something else.
1/5 stars, Complete Junk
Concerned Owner,
P360 HSE 4dr SUV 4WD (3.0L 6cyl Twincharger gas/electric hybrid 8A)
Other car owner warned me to stay away from Land Rover. After owning 3 previous models with little or not issues, my wife and I got talked into a new 2020 LR Sport Phev. It has been a complete nightmare - electrical, braking and electric motor issues. I do not think the electric motor has ever worked, but maybe the jet airplane noise it makes is actually the electric motor. Also, random trim pieces on the interior and exterior completely come off for no apparent reason. The vehicle has been in the service department more than our garage. After LR claims to fix the vehicle with a computer update, it has the same issue within hours. The vehicle is unreliable and unsafe to drive - the tow driver knows us by name. Dealing with LR corporate is even worse than the vehicle. Weeks and months with no response. We are now on our 5th LR representative with no results. This company is a complete joke. Stay away from LR at all costs!
5/5 stars, Truly a sport SUV - fast, comfortable and capable
Till R,
P360 HSE 4dr SUV 4WD (3.0L 6cyl Twincharger gas/electric hybrid 8A)
After driving the redesigned new BMW X5, the Mercedes ML, the Lexus RX back-to-back, the Range Rover Sport's driving characteristics simply left all the others behind. While looks are a matter of personal taste (and we love the Land Rover lineup), handling can be measured and what this SUV achieves - on- and off road is simply amazing (as fast a a race Mini-Cooper on the Nürburgring in Germany). This is our 5th Range Rover and none has disappointed.
5/5 stars, Super special

Beautiful reliable luxurious and sporty. The best ride ever

Land Rover Range Rover Sport vs. the competition
2020 Land Rover Range Rover Sport
2019 Land Rover Range Rover Velar
Land Rover Range Rover Sport vs. Land Rover Range Rover Velar
While the Range Rover Sport is a midsize SUV with seating for up to seven, the Land Rover Range Rover Velar is a two-row that splits the difference between the compact and midsize segments. As such, it's quite a bit less expensive than the Sport, and it offers more fuel-efficient engines. Though highly configurable in its own right, the Velar doesn't present nearly as many customization options as the Sport, and its chopped roofline cuts into headroom for tall rear passengers. Note that both of these models are much smaller and less expensive than the standard Range Rover.
Land Rover Range Rover Sport vs. BMW X5
Redesigned just last year, the BMW X5 holds lots of appeal. It offers several stout engines, including an upcoming M50i trim aimed to give the Range Rover Sport SVR a run for its money. We also like the interior design, which is more understated than the Range Rover Sport's. However, the Range Rover Sport is still the choice if you intend to venture off-road.
Land Rover Range Rover Sport vs. Lexus LX 570
The Lexus LX 570 is one of the few remaining body-on-frame luxury SUVs around. Based on the Toyota Land Cruiser, it's also one of the most off-road-capable. But compared to the Range Rover Sport, this decade-old SUV has a rough ride and a thirsty V8 engine, and it doesn't provide nearly as many customization features.
