The 2023 Range Rover Sport looks and feels a lot like the larger Range Rover. It's available with lots of in-car tech and offers more off-road capability than most other SUVs on the road. Unfortunately, the Sport is let down by a lackluster driving experience, slightly disappointing storage and a high price tag.

For 2023 it features a sharper exterior design, a luxurious and tech-savvy interior, and an abundance of advanced driver assist features. With a curved 13.1-inch infotainment touchscreen and a 13.7-inch digital instrument cluster, the Sport's interior is state of the art. Under the hood is one of four available powertrain options. The most interesting ones are: the plug-in hybrid P440e, which Land Rover says can go more than 50 miles on all-electric power, or, for a more "heck with mpg" experience, the turbocharged V8 in the P530 that's good for 523 horsepower.
The 2023 Range Rover Sport retains the brand's off-road heritage with an advanced all-wheel-drive system capable of decoupling the front axle in certain situations and a standard air suspension that can raise the SUV to offer 11.1 inches of ground clearance. The top trim offers four-wheel steering, which tightens its turning radius, plus a torque-vectoring rear axle. But the Sport is less focused on absolute off-road capability when compared to its larger Range Rover counterpart. In fact, a dual-range transfer case is optional on the two lower Range Rover Sport trims but comes standard on every Range Rover. Think of the Range Rover Sport as its name implies — a tidier driving, if still not highly on-road-focused, version of the Range Rover.
Other alternatives to the Range Rover Sport include the Audi Q8, BMW X5 and Mercedes-Benz GLE. There's also a fair amount of overlap among Land Rover's lineup of SUVs, and certain versions of the regular Range Rover, Range Rover Velar or Defender might also meet your needs. Check out our test team's Expert Rating to get the full report on the new Range Rover Sport's hits and misses.

out of 10
We drove the 2023 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.
Performance
7.5/10
How does the Range Rover Sport drive? The Range Rover Sport is available with a variety of powertrains that range from a frugal plug-in hybrid to a muscular turbocharged V8. Our test vehicle was equipped with the midlevel P400 mild hybrid inline-six, which provides adequate acceleration for a luxury SUV. At the Edmunds test track, it accelerated from 0 to 60 mph in 5.8 seconds. The throttle can feel lazy unless you're in the sporty Dynamic drive mode, but power delivery is smooth and the engine pulls well at high rpm.
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 suffers from a bit of dive when you hit the brakes. The Range Rover's steering, too, doesn't feel quite as direct as what competitors offer. But on the upside, the adjustable air suspension can be raised for better clearance off-road, and capability is aided further by Land Rover's capable all-wheel-drive system.

Comfort
7.5/10
How comfortable is the Range Rover Sport? There's a certain level of comfort expected from anything wearing a Range Rover badge, but the latest Range Rover Sport doesn't quite deliver on what we expect. That's not to say it's uncomfortable. The seats have excellent padding and decent support in both rows. The seatback angle is adjustable in the rear, so passengers in both rows should be set. It's generally quiet, too, with only a mild amount of wind and road noise entering the cabin.
But ride comfort disappoints. Given the standard air suspension, we expected the Range Rover Sport to mute most imperfections in the road. It didn't. Bumps and potholes won't rattle your fillings, but you still feel more of the road than we might expect in a luxury SUV. Part of the blame is likely down to our test vehicle's massive 23-inch wheels. We suggest sticking with the standard 21-inch wheels for their additional sidewall. The climate control system is a letdown too. While the controls are easy to use, the fans are loud and the AC shuts off when the engine's stop-start feature engages at stoplights.

While the controls are easy to use, the fans are loud and the AC shuts off when the engine's stop-start feature engages at stoplights.
Interior
8/10
How’s the interior? The Range Rover Sport's infotainment screen is large and placed low enough that it doesn't block the view out of the windshield. The resolution is crisp but not as responsive as what you'll find in the competition. The interface is touchscreen-only, but Land Rover thankfully doesn't include the climate controls in the infotainment system. Two knobs can be turned, pushed or pulled to adjust the temperature or fan speed or turn on the heated seats.
There's plenty of space in both rows, and the adjustable air suspension can lower the Sport to make it easier to get in and out. The driving position is commanding and upright, and the relatively thin roof pillars and upright windows allow for good visibility in all directions. Our test vehicle had the optional heated windshield. It's great in icy weather, but some drivers found their focus thrown off by the tiny heating elements.

Technology
8/10
How’s the tech? Device connectivity is solid, with standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Both have wireless connectivity, and there are a handful of USB-C and USB-A ports throughout both rows as well as a wireless charging pad. We also like how the Range Rover Sport's integrated navigation system is easy to operate. On the downside, the voice commands lack the breadth of function and natural language recognition you find in other luxury SUVs.
The Range Rover Sport comes with many standard driver aids, including adaptive cruise control, blind-spot warning and surround-view cameras. The systems work well, holding tight gaps and braking gently. We didn't notice any errors or unnecessary braking from the emergency systems either.

Storage
7.5/10
How’s the storage? The Range Rover Sport offers 31.9 cubic feet of cargo space behind the second row. Drop the 40/20/40-split folding rear seats and the area opens up to 53.0 cubic feet. Those are midpack numbers for the class, with rivals from Mercedes and BMW offering more space in the rear. We do like that the air suspension can be lowered with the touch of a button in the hatch to make loading and unloading cargo easier. The seats can be folded or raised with a button too, so no crawling around to find some manual release handles.
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. Fitting and installing a car seat shouldn't be an issue. The rear anchors are easy to access, and the air suspension helps make everything less of a climb.

Fuel Economy
7/10
How’s the fuel economy? Setting aside the available plug-in hybrid powertrain, the Range Rover Sport has EPA-estimated fuel economy between 18 and 22 mpg combined depending on which engine you opt for. Our SE Dynamic had the P400 inline-six powertrain that's estimated at 21 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.
Value
7.5/10
Is the 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. Standard features are pretty similar to the competition, but the price point simply doesn't compare to what you can find elsewhere.
Land Rover includes a four-year/50,000-miles basic and powertrain warranty. The Sport has six years and unlimited miles of rust protection. You also get four years or 50,000 miles of roadside maintenance. That's all about average, though some brands also include a handful of free scheduled service visits.

Wildcard
7.5/10
The third-generation Range Rover Sport looks and feels more like the full-size Range Rover than ever. The design both inside and out is less showy than some rivals without looking boring. It's 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 as a whole the Range Rover Sport packs the premium feel that we've come to expect over the years.
But that charm is dampened by a less than stellar driving experience. While few off-roaders are as comfortable as the Range Rover Sport, aggressive safety systems, numb feedback and 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 trim does Edmunds recommend?
Though at every level the 2023 Range Rover Sport offers impressive luxury and style features, we think the P360 (SE) trim offers the best value. It supplies the bulk of luxury, safety and tech features, including adaptive cruise control with steering assist, a blind-spot warning system and a surround-view camera, at a reasonable price. Twenty-one-inch wheels are also included.

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.

Safety
Our experts like the Range Rover Sport models:
- Adaptive Cruise Control with Steering Assist
- Maintains a driver-set distance between the Range Rover Sport and the car in front. Also makes minor steering corrections to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane.
- Rear Traffic Monitor
- Detects if a vehicle approaching from behind is not slowing down in time to avoid a collision. Flashes the hazard lights to alert that driver to brake.
- ClearSight Rearview Mirror
- Uses a rear-mounted camera to create the image a driver would see in the mirror in the case that there are passengers or luggage blocking the rear view of the conventional reflective mirror.
