Land Rover Range Rover Sport (05 on) - Review Review by David Ross on 22 September 2008 Last Updated: 05 February 2010 The Range Rover Sport is a smaller and more athletic version of the larger, more traditional Range Rover. Unlike other models in the Range Rover range, the Sport is primarily designed to be driven on-road, where it corners precisely and with the minimum of fuss. Coupled with the top 5.0-litre supercharged engine, it provides nothing short of an electric drive. Being a Land Rover, the Sport also comes up with the goods off-road too. It’s packed with sophisticated systems, such as Terrain Response – a system that optimises the car’s off-road performance depending on the road surface. Inside it’s comfortable and refined, though cars from Summer 2009 are better still. These Range Rover Sports benefit from a thorough facelift that brought a much upgraded interior, improved engines and a wider range of options. 4.5 out of 5 Other Land Rover reviews Summary Facts & Figures Equipment Driving & Performance Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Also Consider Company Car Info Owners' Reviews Gallery 4.5 out of 5 Summary Tweet New price range: £48,820 - £74,925 View all new prices Used price range: £12,299 - £61,930 View all used prices See 4 new models for sale from £45,966 Get a Land Rover Range Rover Sport (05 on) information pack Next steps Land Rover Range Rover Sport cars for sale Use our cars for sale search facility to find great deals on second hand cars.
