We’re glad Land Rover continues to offer the Range Rover Sport Td6, because the diesel engine is a particularly good match for this type of vehicle. You can thank the Volkswagen emissions scandal and anticipated tougher emissions standards for that. The other holdout, BMW, is scrapping the X5 diesel as part of a 2019-model-year redesign. The Range Rover Sport is the last vehicle in its segment to offer a diesel engine option. Power is sent to all four wheels through an eight-speed automatic transmission. The Td6 engine is a 3.0-liter turbodiesel V6 producing 254 horsepower and 443 pound-feet of torque. But that decidedly un-sporty formula works quite well in the real world. Driving experienceīy affixing the “Sport” tag to a fairly large, 4,773-pound diesel SUV, Land Rover seemed to be setting itself up for failure. We also found the system to be overly sensitive when rolling up to a stoplight queue with cars in front. Like a nervous parent riding shotgun with a newly minted teenage driver, it cried out at every slight change in acceleration in a car in front. The adaptive cruise control and lane-keep assist worked well enough, but the forward-collision alert system seemed to have an anxiety problem.

Our test car came with a long list of driver aids, which worked with different levels of effectiveness. The Land Rover also trails most of the competition in cargo space. The Range Rover Sport is a five-seater, but the Audi Q7 and Volvo XC90 are available in seven-seat configurations. On paper, driver and passengers get a comparable amount of room to other midsize luxury SUVs, but front-seat space feels a bit tight once you’re inside. The Sport’s decidedly un-sporty formula works quite well in the real world.

Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility are standard. Land Rover also included an all-important volume knob for the audio system.Ī third, 12.0-inch screen replaces the traditional analog instrument cluster, and touchpad controls are mounted on the steering wheel. As in the Velar and I-Pace, these knobs have their own little screens that show climate-control temperature, fan speed, or seat-temperature settings, which is a neat and useful feature. The system uses two 10.0-inch touchscreens located on the center stack, along with multifunction knobs for climate control and seat heating/cooling.

The 2018 Range Rover Sport features the InControl Touch Pro Duo infotainment system previously seen on the Land Rover Range Rover Velar and sibling brand Jaguar’s all-electric I-Pace.
Land Rover also didn’t skimp on the tech. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, as this toned-down cabin will likely stand up better to the kind of abuse the rest of vehicle is designed to take. The Range Rover Sport’s cabin is properly luxurious, but isn’t nearly as opulent as that of its big sibling. Those expecting a carbon copy of the full-size Range Rover’s interior will be disappointed. Key functions for climate control, navigation, and audio require don’t require many taps of a screen. Including a $995 destination charge, the total price of our test car was $86,775. But our test car was loaded with options, including the $1,385 climate comfort pack (which bundles a sliding panoramic roof, heated steering wheel, and four-zone climate control), $1,630 drive pro pack (blind spot monitoring, adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist), $1,785 off-road pack (two-speed transfer case, off-road-focused driver aids), a $1,185 towing package, $2,255 vision assist pack (automatic high beams, ambient lighting, head-up display, 360-degree camera system), Meridian surround-sound system ($1,120), heated and cooled front seats ($815), and other features. The Td6 HSE starts at $74,350, a $2,000 premium over an equivalent gasoline model.
Our 2018 Land Rover Range Rover Sport Td6 (try fitting that on an insurance claim form) was an HSE model, which is one step up from the base SE trim level, and the top trim level for the diesel. Unlike most of its competitors, Land Rover offers a diesel engine, which is what was under the hood of our test car.
