Rover sales are up 31% this year in the U.S., but subtract the Range Rover Sport from the tally and sales would have only increased by 4%.

A real departure from Land Rover's singular focus on the off-road lifestyle, the Range Rover Sport is the company's first performance SUV.
Even though it shares the Range Rover badge with its luxurious big brother, the Sport is actually a shortened and 450-pound-lighter version of the LR3.
Overall, the cabin isn't quite as luxurious or spacious as the Range Rover, but the Sport is designed to impart a more cockpitlike feel for the driver to emphasize its driver-focused intentions.

Land Rover's performance SUV is a case of too large, too late writes Philip King
Land Rover Range Rover Sport V8 Comment: The most highway-oriented Land Rover keeps its offroad credentials intact but lacks the practicality of the Discovery or the luxury of the Rangie itself.
The Range Rover Sport looks the part, but there seems little to recommend it against others from the Land Rover stable: it's less functional than a Discovery and less luxurious than a Range Rover, while offering few performance advantages.

It represents the fourth nameplate for Land Rover in the United States, along with the Freelander, LR3 and Range Rover.

Other technology used on the Range Rover Sport includes adaptive cruise control, bi-xenon adaptive front lighting, audio systems by harmon/kardon, and a twin-screen DVD rear-seat entertainment system that uses high-resolution screens that are enclosed in the front seat headrests.

Sport is said to possess the same spirit as the Range Stormer, the luxury and character of the Range Rover fused with the soul of a sports car.
With a full lineup of SUVs, Land Rover will be able to increase its presence around the world, especially in North America, by catering to the growing niche market of performance utility vehicles, and appealing to performance sedan owners by providing the same world-class standards of luxury, performance and refinement.
Unless the Sport, based on the superb LR3 but faster, lighter and nimbler, is a complete dud, it's almost certain that Land Rover has the cat in the bag.

Given half a chance, the folks at Land Rover drone on and on about how the Range Rover Sport has more off-road chops than any of its rivals, which is factually correct but a bit like bragging that you're the world's funniest mortician.
In fact, it's built on the same platform that underpins the Land Rover LR3, although the wheelbase is six inches shorter.
Besides being the Land Rover proving grounds, this is also the home of the Land Rover Experience driving school, just the ticket for off-road loonies-oops, we mean enthusiasts-whose idea of fun is a two-day class in winching techniques.
