What are the differences between the Range Rover Sport and the Range Rover?
2 Answers
The differences between the Range Rover Sport and the Range Rover are in their body dimensions: The Range Rover Sport has a body length of 4879mm, height of 1803mm, a wheelbase of 2923mm, a fuel tank capacity of 104.3 liters, and a luggage compartment volume ranging from 780 to 1686 liters. The Range Rover has a body length of 5000mm, height of 1869mm, a wheelbase of 2922mm, a fuel tank capacity of 104 liters, and a luggage compartment volume ranging from 707 to 1694 liters. Both the Range Rover Sport and the Range Rover are equipped with a 3.0L mechanical and turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 360PS, a maximum power of 265kW, and a maximum torque of 495Nm, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission.
As a long-time Range Rover owner who upgraded from the Sport to the standard model, I noticed significant differences. The Sport version delivers more excitement with better handling and stability on turns, making it ideal for city driving or weekend getaways, though rear legroom is limited and the trunk feels cramped. After switching to the standard Range Rover, the cabin feels like a plush sofa—perfect for long highway trips without back strain, with ample space for family luggage or pet crates, plus remarkable composure over rough terrain off-road. While the Sport has a lower entry price, the standard model offers superior luxury and higher resale value despite the premium cost. Choose the Sport for thrill-seeking drives, but the full-size Range Rover is unbeatable for family adventures. Though the Sport is slightly more fuel-efficient, the Range Rover’s interior craftsmanship is in another league.
