Reviews
- "In its base HSE form, Range Rover Sport is not as outright fast as most like-priced high-performance SUVs, and discriminating shoppers will find the grade of interior materials lacking. Supercharged versions can hang with rivals for overall performance but at a stiff price premium over the HSE."—ConsumerGuide1
- "...the Range Rover Sport is still a heavy SUV that needs the optional supercharged engine to feel even remotely sporty. Nevertheless, the adjustable air suspension allows it to excel on- or off-road."—Car and Driver2
- "If you're after classic British 4WD heritage, capability, comfort and style integrated into a slightly leaner and sleeker package, the 2008 Land Rover Range Rover Sport is a natural, top-of-your-list choice."—Edmunds.com3
