Second-Hand Land Rover Range Rover Sport
Used Land Rover Range Rover Sport
The Land Rover Range Rover Sport went on sale in the UK in 2005 and was met with a somewhat mixed response. Many critics were expecting something a little more striking from the Sport, which looks pretty much just like a Range Rover. However, any initial hostility quickly dissolved once those critics got behind the wheel of this already classic car. In April 2006, the bolder looking HST version was released, complete with spoiler. The TDV8 engine was introduced in 2007, combining fuel economy (relatively speaking, this is a Range Rover after all) with stunning performance.
What You Get
The Range Rover Sport surprised everyone when it turned up with five doors instead of the expected three. It doesn't have a lot of leg room in the back, but it does boast the largest boot of its class. It rides on a monocoque chassis featuring a double wishbone suspension and offers a far superior ride and handling than any Land Rover car previously produced. The interior is smart and clever, with many of the controls set at an angle pointing them towards the driver. The Range Rover Sport for sale is a fantastically executed car combining the all-terrain ability of the Discovery with the unmistakable quality of a Range Rover.
How it Drives
The most talked about engine in the range is the 4.2-litre supercharged V8, which can generate 390bhp and is a proper piece of engineering capable of producing 410lb/ft of torque. That's enough power to accelerate a used Range Rover Sport to 60mph in just 6.8 seconds and to a maximum speed of 140 mph. This is a brilliant off-road vehicle as well as great on-road drive. Many would say that the Range Rover Sport is the best car that Land Rover have made so far and the demand for used models is huge. It combines the off-road capabilities of the Discovery with the class of a Range Rover.
