Blending sport and utility like almost no other SUV, the 2017 Land Rover Range Rover Sport is impressive in any configuration.
The 2017 Land Rover Range Rover Sport is offered in a quintet of models: SE, HSE, Supercharged, Autobiography, and SVR. Though its third-row seats are cramped and its prices are, as you might expect, as tall as its heritage, the Range Rover Sport rates an excellent 8.2 out of 10 overall.

Pros
Serene and stately...
... but can perform when called upon, both on and off road
Gorgeous interior
"5+2" seating offers expanded utility

Cons
Price climbs very, very fast
"+2" seating is only for kids, only for very short trips
We'll miss the HST

The 2017 Land Rover Range Rover Sport ranks 11 out of 22 Luxury Midsize SUVs. The 2017 Land Rover Range Rover Sport features five potent engine choices and phenomenal off-road chops, as well as sumptuous leather seats and an ostentatious interior. But it also suffers from a dreadful predicted reliability score and one of the smallest cargo areas in the class.

Pros
Lavish interior with high-quality materials
Five powerful engines to pick from
Optional fuel-efficient turbodiesel engine
Superb off-road abilities

Cons
Some infotainment functions can be slow and frustrating to use
Poor predicted reliability rating
Limited cargo space for the class

By:

For 2017, the Land Rover Range Rover Sport gets a handful of useful new features, including a 10.2-inch touchscreen control for its electronics. A host of safety features are now standard, including automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, and lane departure warning with lane keeping assist.

Pros
Stylish appearance
Composed handling
Powerful supercharged V8
Fuel-efficient diesel option
Available seven-passenger seating
True off-road capability.

Cons
Third-row seat just for kids
Unimpressive fuel economy with gasoline engines
Modest cargo capacity.
