Our Opinion
We have were built with a couple of Land Rover Range Rover Sports go through our hallowed halls at Motor Trend. We'd a long-term diesel variant , in addition to a V-8 supercharged version

Sports car-like and shrill, no you will expect the sound from the well-dressed SUV zipping past them. Plus as being a Land Rover vehicle implies that the SUV is amazingly capable off-road. With air suspension the SUV can lift greater than 4 inches to go through water or get over a sizable undulation.
The very best part about the Land Rover Range Rover Sport SVR we drove was that people literally drove it right out the off-road course towards the track. The variable-speed electronic steering felt efficient at any speed and also the ride was smooth both on- and off-road.
Overall i was roundly impressed with the Range Rover Sport SVR's abilities and luxurious amenities coupled with no problems with our long-termers either in variant.
