Used Petrol Land Rover Range Rover Sport cars for sale

The original Range Rover Sport combined Discovery 3 toughness with a more assertive, road-focused character. Its shortened version of the Discovery’s Integrated Body Frame platform and steel body made it heavy, while the early 2.7-litre TDV6 was hardly urgent. Even so, its presence and versatility gave Land Rover a convincing new model line.

The L494 successor changed the formula substantially. An aluminium monocoque cut up to 420kg, making the Sport badge feel more appropriate. The 3.0-litre SDV6 suited it particularly well, combining easy performance with luxury-car refinement, though the air suspension still had more than two tonnes to contain.

MLA-Flex architecture advanced the L461 again. Switchable-volume air springs and rear-wheel steering helped manage its considerable size, while the platform also supported the electric EV550. Its double-stacked 118.5kWh battery powered a 550hp drivetrain and gave it the lowest centre of gravity of any Range Rover Sport.

At nearly three tonnes, the EV550 sits awkwardly with the word ‘Sport’. Yet its 900mm wading depth and exceptional motorway comfort continue the model’s blend of breadth and presence. Across three generations, the Sport has become sharper and more sophisticated without abandoning the versatility that defined the original.
