We recommend

Without a doubt, the Land Rover Range Rover Sport is filled with a plethora of features, but the HSE Trim offers a lot of the advanced features for the price it's being sold at and hence, it is the trim that we would recommend. For us, the HSE trim is brings the best value for money proposition in the lineup.

The 2017 Range Rover Sport Sport comes in multiple engine options. The standard Range Rover Sport SE comes packed with a 3.0L supercharged V-6 engine equipped with an 8-speed automatic transmission that manages to give out an output of 340 hp @ 6500 rpm.

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.

Speaking of rivals, the Porsche and the BMW are locked at a dead heat in terms of numbers, while the Q7 is the least competent of the lot.

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.
