Overview

Written by automotive expert Alex Nishimoto

7/8/2026

The 2027 Land Rover Range Rover Sport is the smaller two-row sibling of the full-bore Range Rover. The two share some design elements along with many mechanicals, including a few powertrain options. True to the Sport part of its name, the smaller Range Rover has a more raked profile than Land Rover's flagship three-row, lending it a sleek appearance that's matched by a driver-centric interior that's both luxurious and sporty. The Range Rover Sport is also notable for its available plug-in hybrid powertrains that let you drive short distances on all-electric power before switching over to regular gas-powered operation. If you want high-quality materials and go-anywhere capability but find the full-size Range Rover too serious or expensive, the Range Rover Sport might be your ideal alternative.

We drove the 2027 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.

Driving experience

6.8/10

How does it 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

7.3/10

How comfortable is it? 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

8.4/10

How’s the tech? The infotainment system's graphics look high-class, 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 from 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 remotely 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.

Storage & cargo

6.1/10

How’s storage and cargo? The Range Rover Sport offers 31.9 cubic feet of cargo space behind the second row. Drop the folding 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. 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.

Towing tops out at 7,716 pounds, and a trailer assist system is offered that handles the steering while reversing.

Value

6/10

Is it 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 cost.

Land Rover includes a four-year/50,000-mile basic and powertrain warranty.

MPG

3/10

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

7/10

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.

2027 Land Rover Range Rover Sport trim level differences

The 2027 Range Rover Sport is a five-passenger midsize luxury SUV available in these trim levels: SE, Dynamic SE, Battersea Edition, Autobiography, SV, SV Black and SV Carbon. Additionally, a limited-production Twenty Edition joins the lineup for 2027. Each Range Rover Sport has an eight-speed automatic transmission, standard all-wheel drive, Terrain Response driver-selectable driving modes and a height-adjustable adaptive air suspension. Six different engines with unique designations are available, which can complicate matters. They are P360, P400, P450e, P530, P550e and P635. As you might expect, the higher the number, the more powerful the powertrain. Also note that the lowercase "e" denotes a plug-in hybrid.

Which Range Rover Sport trim level does Edmunds recommend?

The Dynamic SE trim offers the widest selection of powertrains in the lineup, and it unlocks some useful options not available on the base SE. You'll also need to decide which engine you want it with. Though it doesn't rival the turbocharged V8's thrust, we think the P460e six-cylinder plug-in hybrid will be plenty powerful for most people, and it has the fuel-saving benefit of being able to go about 50 miles on battery power alone.

Alternatives to the 2027 Range Rover Sport

The Range Rover Sport competes with other midsize two-row luxury SUVs. If you want one that's truly sporty, check out the Porsche Cayenne. Its quick acceleration and sporty handling make it worthy of its Porsche badge. There's also the Mercedes-Benz GLE and BMW X5 to consider. Both offer available plug-in powertrains, just like the Range Rover Sport, along with high-performance variants that can go toe-to-toe with Range Rover Sport's top SV model.
