2021 Land Rover Range Rover Sport Review

SE
The base trim comes with a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder engine (355 horsepower, 365 lb-ft). No other engine is offered on the SE. Standard features include:

• 19-inch wheels
• LED headlights
• Power liftgate
• Proximity keyless entry and push-button start
• Power-adjustable front seats
• Dual-zone automatic climate control
• Digital instrument panel
• 10-inch touchscreen infotainment system

Every Range Rover Sport also comes with:

• Lane keeping assist (steers the Range Rover Sport back into its lane if it begins to drift over the lane marker)
• Parking sensors (alert you to obstacles that may not be visible in front of or behind the vehicle when parking)
• Forward collision mitigation (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)

HSE Silver Edition
The HSE Silver Edition opens up the feature list, building on what the SE offers. In addition to the inline-six, the HSE Silver Edition is available with:

• Turbocharged 3.0-liter diesel V6 (254 hp, 443 lb-ft)
• Turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with a plug-in hybrid powertrain. It generates a total of 398 hp and 472 lb-ft and gets an EPA-estimated 19 miles of all-electric range.

Other features for the HSE Silver Edition include:

• 21-inch wheels
• Panoramic sunroof
• Upgraded power-adjustable front seats
• Heated and ventilated front seats
• Heated rear seats
• Heated steering wheel
• Front console refrigerator
• Four-zone automatic climate control
• Cabin air ionizer
• 19-speaker Meridian audio system
• Blind-spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alert (warns you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while in reverse)
• Driver attention warning (issues an alert if sensors determine you are becoming fatigued)
• Surround-view camera system (gives you a top-down view of the Range Rover Sport and its surroundings for tight parking situations)

HST
The midlevel HST trim is only available with the turbocharged inline six-cylinder engine, though it gets a slight bump in output, up to 395 horsepower and 406 lb-ft of torque. It's a sporty trim that builds off the base SE, though features generally mirror those on the HSE Silver Edition. Changes include:

• Adaptive suspension (enhances ride comfort and handling)
• Contrasting black roof
• Black exterior trim
• Aluminum interior trim
• Leather and simulated suede upholstery

HSE Dynamic
There's only one engine available on this trim, but it's a whopper. All HSE Dynamic models are powered by a supercharged 5.0-liter V8 (518 hp, 461 lb-ft). Features are similar to the base SE trim, though it does include a few additional features from the HSE Silver Edition.

• 21-inch wheels
• Air suspension (can adjust the vehicle's ride height)
• Upgraded power-adjustable seats
• Panoramic sunroof
• 13-speaker Meridian audio system
• Additional leather trim
• Blind-spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alert
• Driver attention warning

Autobiography
This is the most luxurious trim available on the Range Rover Sport. It's available with either the 5.0-liter V8 or the plug-in hybrid powertrain. It builds on the HSE Dynamic trim with:

• Black contrast roof
• Even more adjustments for the front seats
• Heated and ventilated front seats
• Heated rear seats
• Heated steering wheel
• Soft-close doors (catch as they're being closed and gently pull shut)
• 19-speaker Meridian audio system
• Surround-view camera system

SVR
The Range Rover Sport SVR is one of the fastest SUVs on sale today. SVR models get the Autobiography's features and more power for the supercharged V8 (575 hp, 516 lb-ft) plus:

• SVR-tuned air suspension
• Upgraded brakes
• Front sport seats
• Sport steering wheel

SVR Carbon Edition
While Land Rover breaks this out into a separate trim, it's more of a package for the standard SVR. Upgrades include:

• 22-inch gloss black wheels
• Exposed carbon-fiber hood
• Carbon-fiber engine cover
• Carbon-fiber interior and exterior trim

The Range Rover Sport is available with a number of options. Notable ones include:

• Drive Pro Pack
• Blind-spot monitor (SE trim only)
• Adaptive cruise control (adjusts speed to maintain a constant distance between the vehicle and the car in front and can also react to traffic signs and set speed)
• Upgraded frontal collision mitigation system
• Towing Pack
• Off-Road Pack
• Additional drive modes
• Transfer case with low range
• 23-speaker Meridian audio system
• Cabin air ionizer
