Used Range Rover Sport for sale

What types of used Range Rover Sport cars are there?

Impressive looks, raw power, practicality and status. These are all words that perfectly describe the Range Rover Sport. 

It’s the sportier version (the name is a bit of a giveaway) of the full-size Range Rover which means it has lower suspension, aggressive looks and is more suited to the road – but that doesn’t mean it won’t thrash an off-road course with ease.

Range Rover Sport history 

The Range Rover Sport has stood the test of time and has graced our roads for more than a decade.

What features does the Range Rover Sport have?

Entry-level versions of the Sport come as standard with a lot of great tech – as you’d hope for a car worth in the region of £100,000 when new.  

Some of these include parking sensors and cameras, automatic lights, heated seats, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus Bluetooth connectivity.   

Optional extras such as four-zone climate control, a panoramic sunroof, adaptive cruise control and a powerful Meridian stereo are available on used cars too.   

The main USP of any Land Rover product is space and practicality – two areas this sports SUV excels in.  

There’s plenty of space for three adults to sit comfortably in the back thanks to the car’s width, while a flat floor means the person in the middle seat doesn’t have their legroom compromised.   

Despite having a sloping roofline, there’s plenty of headroom for all – front and back.  

Interior storage space is also generous, with a glovebox big enough for your winter gloves, a box under the centre armrest and a large 780-litre boot. 

Is the Range Rover Sport reliable?

Land Rover hasn't had the best history with reliability, as some of its earlier cars will demonstrate.  

However, modern examples that have been meticulously maintained shouldn't pose any major issues. 

The main reason you'd want a used Range Rover Sport is for its safety, though.  

With a full five-star rating following its most recent Euro NCAP safety test, this is one of the safest family SUVs money can buy. 

How much does the Range Rover Sport cost to run?

When you get behind the wheel of the Sport, the first thing you may notice is the size.  

You’re certainly sitting higher up than most other drivers, other than those sitting in vans or lorries.  

But despite its size, it’s very easy to drive thanks to all its sensors that beep at you, giving you plenty of warning about your surroundings.  

The engine options are great too – you can get a petrol, diesel or plug-in hybrid (PHEV) version.  

All are superb choices, but the PHEV unit will obviously be better suited to those living in urban environments.   

Of course, most owners won’t be taking their fancy SUV off-road, but if you do want to, Sport models fitted with Land Rover’s clever Terrain Response system allow you to climb mountains, cross deserts or frozen wastelands with ease. 

Who is the Range Rover Sport suitable for?

You should buy a used Range Rover Sport if you're in the market for a large family SUV that's comfortable, practical, fun to drive and has major road presence. 

There are very few others that come close to it, but its main rivals include the Porsche Cayenne, Audi Q7 and BMW X5.
