The Range Rover Sport has finally gotten comfortable in its niche—but does that mean it's any good?
. I get the decision to build the thing—amortize the costs of developing the chassis with two vehicles, as well as expanding the"Range Rover family." However, it wasn't nice to look at, and despite the word"Sport" in the name, it wasn't in fact sporty to drive. The L494 second-generation model was more handsome when it arrived in 2013, and it used theplatform.
Most of the controls are found within the quick-acting touchscreen. However, and notably, there's a Terrain Response control knob that lets you quickly and easily toggle through the various off-road modes. I say notably because with the otherwise wonderful, the Terrain Response controls are buried in the screen. This solution, which was first reintroduced on the Range Rover, is far better.
The P510e Autobiography and the P440e Autobiography are both plug-in hybrids that feature the brand's Ingenium 3.0-liter turbo inline-six hooked to a 141-hp electric motor that's fed from a 39-kWh battery pack. The more powerful P510e produces 503 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque, whereas the P440e gets by with 434 hp and 457 lb-ft. The only difference between the two vehicles is the output of the inline-six.
I also like how the Range Rover Sport rears up on its haunches a touch when you floor it. About 30 miles outside of Madrid, a semi-truck decided I wasn't there, and at 85 mph I was forced to make what a driving school would term an emergency lane change. Didn't even freak my poor passenger out as she saw the truck trying to merge into our right front fender. This Range Rover Sport handles!
