The 2023 Range Rover Sport is no compromise.
Automakers frequently use the word “sport” as a synonym for “worse.” Cars with that designation latch onto the cache of a model name in an attempt to make the buyer feel good about their de-contented. Just because a car has fewer features does not make it quicker, give it a higher top speed, or let it handle better.The Sport was the first variant that moved the Range Rover name into slightly more accessible territory.
While the Sport has been evolving, so has the Range Rover. The new Range Rover is a massive thing and one of the most luxurious cars on or off the road at any price. It’s become a plush, posh thing, the perfect replacement for the driver–or the driven–used to a Mercedes S-Class. It still has all the same off-road capability it’s been renowned for over the years, but the percentage of buyers who will actually take advantage of that has to be in the single digits.
From the outside, it’d be a challenge for the unfamiliar to even distinguish the Sport from its more expensive brother. The face is nearly identical to the look that was initiated on the Velar, the Sport’s baby brother. There’s a lack of exterior detailing, and I mean that in a good way. It’s very simple, smooth, and classic. It won’t age poorly like some other cars with huge scallops and character lines in the bodywork.
Driving it is what matter, though, and it’s quite good. Used as most owners will use it, which is for airport runs, trips to the mall, and driving around suburbia, this is a lovely thing. The ride quality, even on 23 inch wheels, is outstanding. The steering is light and gives little in the way of any feedback, but it’s accurate. I played around with the height-adjustable suspension as well, and it’s just ridiculous how high this thing can get off the ground.
There’s a reason why the Sport is the best-selling model in the Range Rover line. It’s full-sized without being gigantic, and it’s luxurious without going overboard. It looks great and drives wonderfully. It also has the same engines and most of the same features as its bigger brother, and rides on the same platform. Buying the Sport won’t feel like buying an SUV off the discount rack, it’s everything that you want of the full experience at a better price. That’s what matters.
