The 5.0L Supercharged V8 belts out 510hp and 461lbs.-ft. torque while the SVR trim bumps up those figures to 550hp and 502lbs.-ft. Respectively. The engine feels deficient in power in the standard iteration but becomes alive in the 5.0L versions. The transmission keeps up with both of these engines and is never slow or too aggressive to shift through gears.

Land Rover Range Rover Sport V/S BMW X6

The BMW X6 offers the best handling dynamics among all the cars taken today for comparison. It offers impeccable build quality, good looks, and a lively experience. The Land Rover on the other hand manages to balance both-ride quality and sportiness. The Land Rover feels clearly the better of the two when seen from the luxury point of view, but the BMW is the better balanced of the two in terms of power and efficiency.
