Range Rover Sport

Range Rover Sport pricing is pitched into the £60,000 to £100,000 bracket. If you're looking at the entry-level SD4 version, that's more than £15,000 less than a fully-fledged Range Rover with a 258bhp TDV6 engine fitted.

So there's quite a price gap between the two models, something that also holds true if you're comparing Range Rover Sport and Range Rover variants fitted with the 5.0-litre supercharged Petrol V8 engine.

Where this rule doesn't hold true is if you're comparing the Range Rover Sport with a Range Rover at V8 Diesel level: here, pricewise at least, there's not much between the two cars at all.

But this could end up sounding complicated, so let us try and simplify things. Essentially, there are two kinds of Range Rover Sport you buy into: lets loosely call these levels 'volume' and 'nice to have'.

Most buyers will choose the base volume four or six cylinder Diesel models, either the 240bhp SD4 or the 306bhp SDV6. As an alternative to the SDV6, you might like to look at the supercharged V6 Petrol model.

At the other extreme in the line-up, there's the 'nice to have' variants - the SDV6 Diesel/electric Hybrid, the SDV8 Diesel and 5.0-litre V8 supercharged Petrol variant, offered either in 510bhp 'Autobiography Dynamic' or 550bhp 'SVR' guises.

The key equipment change in this recent model is the introduction of Land Rover's latest 'InControl Touch Pro' centre dash infotainment monitor, a 10-inch touchscreen that can work with a TFT Virtual Instrument Panel that completely replaces the conventional instrument binnacle gauges..
