The 2021 Land Rover Range Rover Sport — besides being somewhat of a mouthful to say — is the brand's midsize luxury SUV. It slots between the top-level Range Rover and the smaller Range Rover Velar. Understand that while it wears the Range Rover name, the Sport is considerably less expensive than the Range Rover.
So what do you get by going with the Sport? Well, as the name might imply, it can be relatively sporty if you get it with one of its more powerful engines. A 355-horsepower six-cylinder engine is standard, but there's also an available diesel engine, a plug-in hybrid powertrain and a top-dog supercharged V8 with a thumping 516 hp. And being a Land Rover, the Range Rover Sport has respectable off-road capability, too.
The Range Rover Sport competes in a competitive class. Rivals include the Audi Q8, BMW X5, Mercedes-Benz GLE and Porsche Cayenne. Among this group the Range Rover Sport comes up a little short on polish — especially in terms of in-car technology features. There's also a fair amount of overlap within Land Rover's lineup, so cross-shopping the slightly smaller Velar, the three-row Discovery or even the new Defender could be a wise idea as well. But overall the Range Rover Sport's strong performance and appealing style make it worth checking out.

Land Rover Range Rover Sport vs. the competition
2021 Land Rover Range Rover Sport
2021 Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class
Land Rover Range Rover Sport vs. Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class
The Mercedes-Benz GLE is the Edmunds Top Rated Luxury SUV for 2021. It excels at everything we expect from a luxury SUV, from premium interior appointments to loads of in-car tech and driver aids. But it lacks the Range Rover Sport's standard all-wheel drive and sporty handling. The Mercedes is significantly less expensive to start, though adding a lot of options will make these two SUVs more closely priced.
Land Rover Range Rover Sport vs. Porsche Cayenne
If you're looking for a luxury SUV that won't leave you bored, the Porsche Cayenne is well worth a look. It's a bit sharper to drive than the Range Rover Sport, and it doesn't sacrifice comfort for performance. Prices are close, though options can easily send the Cayenne's price skyward. It also lacks some of the Range Rover's standard features.
Land Rover Range Rover Sport vs. Land Rover Range Rover Velar
The Range Rover Velar is the Sport's smaller, less expensive and somewhat more stylish sibling. Passenger space is slightly down, but the Velar actually offers a bit more cargo space than the Sport. Tech and features are similar, though the Velar can't match the Sport's raw muscle and performance.
