Overview
Don't let the name fool you. Sure, the 2025 Range Rover Sport is a bit sportier than the slightly bigger, even more expensive regular Range Rover, but that's kind of like saying a three-piece suit is sportier than a tuxedo. Comfort, luxury and design are still the top priorities, albeit not to the same degree as with its big sib. If anything, "variety" would be a better name thanks to six powertrain offerings, including multiple V8 and plug-in hybrid models. The regular Range Rover can't match that, nor can most competitors.
Cost to DriveCost to drive estimates for the 2025 Land Rover Range Rover Sport P360 SE 4dr SUV 4WD (3.0L 6cyl Twincharger gas/electric mild hybrid 8A) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of N/A undefined in Georgia.
Every Range Rover Sport is a hybrid, but it's important to note that there are different types of hybrids. The P360, P400, P530 and SV Edition are mild hybrids. Effectively, this means that an electric motor assists the gasoline engine to improve performance and fuel economy, but it cannot power the vehicle by itself and the efficiency gains are consequently nowhere close to what you'd get with a regular hybrid (think a Prius). Then there are the P460e and P550e plug-in hybrids, which have large batteries that can be plugged in to exclusively power the vehicle for extended distances as well as dramatically improve efficiency. They operate as regular hybrids once their all-electric range is depleted or you don't plug in.
Competitors to consider
If you're really looking for something sporty that's perhaps a plug-in hybrid, the Porsche Cayenne is your best bet. It too offers a plug-in hybrid powertrain and its performance is worthy of its Porsche badge. It's not as stylish or luxurious as the Range Rover Sport, but sampling from the extensive customization list can certainly close the gap. The Mercedes-Benz GLE is another good alternative. It offers multiple powertrains and can be optioned up to lavish standards. Finally, you might check out the all-electric Rivian R1S. It delivers plenty of modern style and technology along with helpful go-anywhere capability.

edmunds TESTED
The 2025 Range Rover Sport has a modern, impeccably tailored interior that gives up little to its bigger Range Rover sibling. It also offers a wide range of powertrains, including two plug-in hybrids. But its high price and its lackluster driving experience hold it back from fully besting other performance-oriented luxury SUVs on the market.
How does the Range Rover Sport drive? The Range Rover Sport is available with a variety of powertrains that range from a base six-cylinder to two plug-in hybrids and a pair of muscular turbocharged V8s. Our test vehicle was equipped with the midlevel 395-hp 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. Otherwise, power delivery is smooth and the engine feels strong at high rpm.
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 suffers from a bit of dive when you hit the brakes. The Range Rover's steering, too, doesn't feel quite as direct as what competitors offer. But on the upside, the adjustable air suspension can be raised for better clearance off-road, and capability is aided further by Land Rover's solid all-wheel-drive system.
Comfort
7.5/10
How comfortable is the Range Rover Sport? There's a certain level of comfort expected from anything wearing a Range Rover badge, but the latest Range Rover Sport doesn't quite deliver on what we expect. That's not to say it's uncomfortable. The seats have excellent padding and decent support in both rows. The seatback angle is adjustable in the rear, so passengers in both rows should be set. It's generally quiet, too, with only a mild amount of wind and road noise entering the cabin.
But ride comfort disappoints. Given the standard air suspension, we expected the Range Rover Sport to mute most imperfections in the road. It didn't. Bumps and potholes won't rattle your fillings, but you still feel more of the road than we might expect in a luxury SUV. Part of the blame is likely down to our test vehicle's massive 23-inch wheels. We suggest sticking with the standard 21-inch wheels for their additional sidewall. The climate control system is a letdown too. While the controls are easy to use, the fans are loud and the AC shuts off when the engine's stop-start feature engages at stoplights.
Interior
8/10
How’s the interior? The Range Rover Sport's infotainment screen is large and placed low enough that it doesn't block the view out of the windshield. The resolution is crisp but not as responsive as what you'll find in the competition. The interface is touchscreen-only, but Land Rover thankfully doesn't include the climate controls in the infotainment system. Two knobs can be turned, pushed or pulled to adjust the temperature or fan speed or turn on the heated seats.
There's plenty of space in both rows, and the adjustable air suspension can lower the Sport to make it easier to get in and out. The driving position is commanding and upright, and the relatively thin roof pillars and upright windows allow for good visibility in all directions. Our test vehicle had the optional heated windshield. It's great in icy weather, but some drivers found their focus thrown off by the tiny heating elements.

How’s the tech? Device connectivity is solid, with standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Both have wireless connectivity, and there are a handful of USB-C and USB-A ports throughout both rows as well as a wireless charging pad. We also like how the Range Rover Sport's integrated navigation system is easy to operate. On the downside, the voice commands lack the breadth of function and natural language recognition you find in other luxury SUVs.
The Range Rover Sport comes with many standard driver aids, including adaptive cruise control, blind-spot warning and a surround-view camera system. The systems work well, holding tight gaps and braking gently. We didn't notice any errors or unnecessary braking from the emergency systems either.
Storage
7.5/10
How’s the storage? The Range Rover Sport offers 31.9 cubic feet of cargo space behind the second row. Drop the 40/20/40-split folding rear seats and the area opens up to 53.0 cubic feet. Those are midpack numbers for the class, with rivals from Mercedes and BMW offering more space in the rear. We do like that the air suspension can be lowered with the touch of a button in the hatch to make loading and unloading cargo easier. The seats can be folded or raised with a button too, so no crawling around to find some manual release handles.
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. Fitting and installing a car seat shouldn't be an issue. The rear anchors are easy to access, and the air suspension helps make everything less of a climb.

Fuel Economy
7/10
How’s the fuel economy? Setting aside the available plug-in hybrid powertrains, the Range Rover Sport has EPA-estimated fuel economy between 18 and 22 mpg combined depending on which engine you opt for. Our SE Dynamic had the P400 inline-six 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.
Value
7.5/10
Is the Range Rover Sport 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. Standard features are pretty similar to the competition, but at the price point, it simply doesn't compare to what you can find elsewhere.
Land Rover includes a four-year/50,000-miles basic and powertrain warranty. The Sport has six years and unlimited miles of rust protection. You also get four years or 50,000 miles of roadside maintenance. That's all about average, though some brands also include a handful of free scheduled service visits.
Wildcard
7.5/10
The third-generation Range Rover Sport looks and feels more like the full-size Range Rover than ever. The design both inside and out is less showy than some rivals without looking boring. It's 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 over the years.
But that charm 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.
Which Range Rover Sport does Edmunds recommend?
We had not tested the new P460e plug-in hybrid at the time of this writing, but its specs at least deserve a mention as a Range Rover Sport version we would seriously consider. As it is, though, we'd recommend the base P360 SE. It's equipped almost identically to the P400 Dynamic SE that costs about $7,000 more and its performance deficit is minimal (5.7 seconds versus 5.2 seconds, according to Land Rover's estimates). The "Dynamic" in the P400's name entirely refers to its style upgrades. Most features included on upper trims are even optional on the P360 SE.
2023 Land Rover Range Rover Sport P400 SE Dynamic 4dr SUV 4WD (3.0L 6cyl Twincharger gas/electric mild hybrid 8A)
More buttons and features than I every imagined. The best riding vehicle that I have ever had. It's sleek and stylish, but also functional. I can change the cabin lights to fit my mood :) Two things that I wish it had is auto start and the audo/channel buttons for the radio on the back of the steering wheel, just for convenience. I would have looked for a different one on the lot with … auto start, but loved the way this one looked so I stuck with it after the test drive.

My new 2025 Hybrid has broken down after less than a week of ownership and 400 miles. It has been in the shop for almost a week and not sure when it will be repaired. Land Rover Road Side assistance was HORRIBLE...The worst of any car I have owned. They even cancelled a tow after HOURS of waiting. I don't recommend.
