What we like

The ride and handling balance is exceptional. It’s a real feat of engineering that Land Rover has managed to imbue the Sport with almost as much comfort as its larger sibling with sacrificing agile handling. The 440e and 510e plug-in hybrids brilliantly manage their battery power, and have a long electric-only range, making them a convincing option for a lot of buyers.

What we don’t like

The price – this is an expensive car to buy and just as expensive to maintain. It’d also be nice if the halo V8 car was a bit more engaging, but the SV puts that right. We still also have concerns about long-term reliability, but that’s something we could also say about the Audi Q8, and BMW X5 and X6.
