If you want the elegance and status that only a Range Rover can provide but don't have the financial means to buy one, the 2022 Range Rover Sport has a cheaper starting price and minimal compromises.
All variants come standard with all-wheel drive and Land Rover's trademark off-road prowess, which is a luxury in and of itself, even though most owners never push the Range Rover Sport's capabilities to their fullest.
The Sport's luxury-lined cabin is comfortable and spacious, except for the third row, which only has enough room for kids. A turbocharged inline-six provides ample power for scooting around town or merging onto the highway, and the Sport's luxury-lined cabin is comfortable and spacious, except for the third row, which only has enough room for kids.
What's new in the car?
The Range Rover Sport's diesel and plug-in hybrid powertrains have been dropped from the range this year, leaving only the turbocharged inline-six (available in two outputs) as an option. The only other change is the addition of additional USB-C ports for charging and connecting devices, in addition to the changeover to a more basic lineup.
Performance, Engine, and Transmission
A turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six cylinder,
Land Rover's superb all-wheel-drive system, and an amazing eight-speed automatic transmission are standard on every 2022 Range Rover Sport.
With the help of a 48-volt hybrid system, the engine produces 355 horsepower.However, we like the 395-horsepower variant, which is only available in the HST model. It has a silky smooth texture and a lot of muscle. The HST reached 60 mph in 6.0 seconds in our tests.
A top speed of 140 mph is claimed by Land Rover. Those wanting for more power can look into the Range Rover Sport Supercharged, which has 518 horsepower and is reviewed separately.
Real-World MPG and Fuel Economy
Regardless of whose power output the inline-six produces, the Range Rover Sport received EPA fuel economy estimates of 19 mpg city and 24 mpg highway. These figures put it in the middle between the BMW X5 six-cylinder models and the Genesis GV80.
Cargo, Interior, and Comfort
The inside of the 2022 Range Rover Sport is nearly identical to that of the full-size Range Rover vehicle. Because both SUVs have the same 115-inch wheelbase, the Range Rover Sport has more rear-seat room than many of its competitors.
The Range Rover Sport, unlike the Range Rover, comes with a compact, kid-friendly third-row seat, bringing the total seating capacity to seven. Its front seats are firm and supportive, especially on extended rides, and it comes standard with rear-seat air-conditioning vents and controls. There are heated back seats available.
The build quality is excellent, with soft surfaces and controls that appear to be high-end. A substantial 28 cubic feet of cargo space is available behind the second row of the Range Rover Sport.
The Rover's reclining second row folds flat simply, giving it a total cargo capacity of 59 cubic feet, which is about average for the midsize luxury SUV class.
Connectivity and Infotainment
The Range Rover Sport's climate and infotainment systems are controlled by two huge 10.0-inch touchscreens, which were significantly upgraded just a few years ago.
The design is certainly beautiful and trendy. The infotainment system is likewise user-friendly, with clear menus and crisp graphics, but it is a little slow to respond to user inputs. A 12.3-inch screen in front of the driver displays a fully adjustable digital gauge cluster, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration are standard.
Features for Driver Assistance and Safety
Many desirable driver-assistance technology features are available from Land Rover, but many, like as adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assist, are optional, which is surprising given the SUV's high price tagThe following are important safety features:
- Forward-collision warning and automatic emergency braking are standard.
- A standard lane-departure warning is
provided.
- Adaptive cruise control is a feature that is available.
Coverage for Warranty and Maintenance
The warranty coverage for the Range Rover Sport is approximately typical for its class, but it does not include free scheduled maintenance. Three of its primary competitors, the BMW X5 and X7, and the Volvo XC90, include three years or 36,000 miles of complimentary scheduled maintenance as part of the purchase price.
- A four-year or 50,000-mile limited warranty is included.
- The powertrain is covered by a four-year or 50,000-mile warranty.
- There is no free planned maintenance.
