Range Rover Sport
The Range Rover Sport is the five-seat, driver-focused member of the Range Rover family: smaller and lighter on its feet than the flagship, with the same air suspension and off-road hardware underneath. This guide covers what each trim costs, what each engine delivers, and how to choose between them for the 2026 and 2027 model years.

The Range Rover Sport is a five-seat luxury performance SUV that starts at $83,700 MSRP for the SE and runs to $170,200 for the SV Carbon, per Range Rover USA's current US pricing. Every version uses a 3.0-liter six-cylinder (mild hybrid or plug-in hybrid) or a 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8, with output from 355 hp to 626 hp. It tows up to 7,716 lb, wades through up to 900 mm (35.4 in) of water, and the plug-in P550e covers 51 miles on electricity alone (EPA). For 2027 the powertrains carry over unchanged; the news is two new special editions, Battersea and Twenty.
Land Rover sells four Range Rover models. The flagship Range Rover is the largest and most formal, with an optional third row in long-wheelbase form. The Velar and Evoque are smaller and priced below the Sport. The Range Rover Sport sits between them: it shares the flagship's platform family and much of its technology, but it is shorter, seats five only, and is tuned to feel more responsive on a winding road.
If you're deciding between the Sport and the full-size Range Rover, the short version is space versus agility. The flagship gives rear passengers more legroom and offers seven seats; the Sport is easier to park in a Freeport or Rockville Centre lot and more engaging on the Meadowbrook or Wantagh Parkway. Our Range Rover vs. Range Rover Sport comparison covers dimensions and cabin space side by side.

CarsDirect also lists a Twenty Edition for 2027, a V8-only special edition positioned between Battersea and Autobiography. Special editions tend to arrive in small numbers, so if one interests you, ask our team what's allocated to Freeport before settling on a spec. Prices move with each model-year update, so treat this table as a starting point and confirm the current figure on the car you're considering.

The Sport's handling reputation comes from its chassis hardware. Air suspension is standard. It lowers the body at speed and for easier entry, and raises it for rough ground or standing water. Higher trims add all-wheel steering: at parking speeds the rear wheels turn opposite to the fronts for a tighter turning circle, and at highway speeds they turn with the fronts for stability. V8 models can be specified with active roll control, which keeps the body flatter through corners.
On Long Island that combination shows up in two places. The tighter turning circle helps in crowded lots and narrow village streets, and the composure at speed makes long runs out east or into the city less tiring. Terrain Response adapts throttle, traction and suspension to the surface, with modes for snow, grass and gravel, mud, and sand. That matters more on a February morning on Sunrise Highway than any 0-60 figure.
The Sport's cabin follows the Range Rover approach: few physical buttons, one large central screen, and materials doing the work. Here's what to look at on a test drive.
| Measure | Figure |
|---|---|
| Maximum towing | Up to 7,716 lb (plug-in hybrids rated lower) |
| Maximum wading depth | 900 mm (35.4 in), per Land Rover's published wading figures |
| Seating | Five |
| Cargo volume | 31.9 cu ft rear seats up / 53 cu ft folded |
| PHEV electric range | 51 miles (P550e, EPA estimate) |
The 7,716 lb towing figure covers most boats kept in South Shore marinas and most two-horse trailers. If you tow regularly, choose the powertrain with towing in mind rather than assuming every configuration carries the maximum rating. The wading depth is an engineering limit, not an invitation: flooded roads in Freeport and Baldwin after a coastal storm can hide debris and fast-moving water, and salt water is hard on any vehicle's underbody.

On a test drive, ask us to show you how Terrain Response and the air suspension's height settings work, and try the all-wheel steering in a tight turn if the trim has it. You can book a Range Rover test drive in Freeport and we'll have the trim you're considering ready.
Every new Range Rover Sport carries Land Rover's 4-year/50,000-mile New Vehicle Limited Warranty and a 6-year unlimited-mileage corrosion warranty. Scheduled service comes up roughly every 16,000 miles or 12 months. For longer-term budgeting, CarEdge estimates about $18,795 in maintenance and repairs over a Range Rover Sport's first 10 years, slightly better than CarEdge's luxury SUV average. We break those figures down, with reliability data, in are Range Rovers expensive to maintain?

Five. There is no third-row option. Buyers who need seven seats should look at the long-wheelbase Range Rover, the Defender 110 or 130, or the Discovery.
It depends on the engine: 5.2 seconds for the P400, 4.3 seconds for the P530 V8, and 3.6 seconds for the 626 hp SV, per Range Rover USA.
Yes. The P550e plug-in hybrid produces 542 hp and has an EPA-estimated 51 miles of electric-only range. A lower-output P460e plug-in hybrid is also offered.
The 2027 model is a carryover: engines and core equipment are unchanged. The additions are two special editions, the Battersea Edition and the Twenty Edition.
Up to 7,716 lb in its highest-rated configurations. Plug-in hybrid versions carry a lower rating, so confirm the figure for the exact powertrain you're considering.
