Many vehicles seem to do this these days, so it’s not solely a Rover quirk. The turbo seems to lag quite a bit when you first get on the throttle and there’s a nasty lag when you let off the accelerator for a curve and then ease your foot back onto it for powering out of the turn. There is one flaw, and I wish to be dainty here. Yet passengers are always comfortable and not jostled to the point of spilling any tea from their cups’ saucers. Ride? Well, it’s well controlled to be sure, but still feels rather trucky, so a bit more bounce on the big bumps we call roads in Wisconsin. Turn it a touch and the SUV responds, no lag, no play and no need to keep adjusting it over and over (like a Jeep) as you trundle down the motorway. Handling is also quite good with a direct feel to the wheel. My, my, no! This is a fine china tea cup and saucer quiet interior. There’s enough engine noise inside to let you know you’re the power master, but it’s never intrusive. That’s a gob and the Sport will gallop up to highway speeds in short course, all the while its smooth 8-speed automatic slipping ever so easily through the gears. Previously tests were with Rover’s 5.0-liter V8, but this Sport now sports a 3.0-liter turbocharged 6-cylinder engine that makes 355 horsepower and 365 lb.-ft. Thankfully there’s also an automatic mode so one needn’t futz with the system just because it’s sleeting or snowing on the way to the corner office. All of that is easy to adjust via taps on the lower of its two 10-inch infotainment screens. It’s rated to wade in water up to 33.5 inches deep and its all-terrain system has six settings for everything from mud and muck to snow and rocks, or loose gravel, and yes, the highway too. There’s no questioning that the Sport would go off-roading. Indeed, it had everything a modern sport-utility truck buyer would want, and maybe more. My gorgeous and muscular looking Firenze Red Metallic test ute was all of that with a base price of $75,545, including delivery, and an $80,970 out-the-door price. It’s near the top of Land Rover’s food chain. Yet Rover is no rough and tumble Jeep, it’s evolved into a luxury brand fit for the dinner-jacket and ascot crowd and proudly wears a hefty price at which one should expect all the finery a car maker can pack into a leather-slathered interior.Īnd while there are Defender and Evoque models (sniff) at the lower end of the luxury brand’s lineup, the Range Rover Sport HSE is not one of those.
