Overview & Reviews
Land Rover takes a jab at performance SUVs from BMW and Porsche with its all-new Range Rover Sport.
- Solid road manners, off-road ability worthy of the Land Rover name, usable interior space, powerful V8 engines.
- Standard model still not very sporty, less interior room than the standard Range Rover.

RR Sport Rocks - 2006 Land Rover Range Rover Sport
By billb - March 15 - 12:40 pmSimply a pleasure...Everthing about the car says luxury and cornering in this vehicle is a breeze. This SUV is made for someone looking for that "sport car feel" with all the off road capability. To me that gives you the best of both worlds. That being said if you need the the absolute best from both worlds dont expect this car to deliver. It is made to handle almost anything not outperform everything.

Almost Perfect - 2006 Land Rover Range Rover Sport
By jmr1967 - March 4 - 8:50 pmThe build quality is great, and I have had no problems wiht the car over two years and 25000 miles. Great for road tripping, being stuck in LA traffic, or a moderately spirited drive on some country roads. Plenty of power, competent off road (yes I really have taking it off road), and it can pull my Defender 90 on a trailer.

Unbelievable - 2006 Land Rover Range Rover Sport
By headhunter - February 17 - 10:43 pmBeing a previous owner of 4 Range Rovers and the BMW one can appreciate the differences between them.First off build quality has without a doubt improved through the years, the terrian response system for off roading is nothing short of stellar, and yes i really take it off road. The redesign of the a- pillar has quieted the wind noise nicely from the 2003 rover. The rrs has more room than the X5, rides better etc. A friend has the cayenne s very similar performance with the rover having a much better package (upscale in every department). In short a great car!!!

Dont use a shotgun to kill flies. - 2006 Land Rover Range Rover Sport
By Mountainman - December 5 - 9:33 pmFirst and foremost, this is a luxury OFFROAD vehicle. Its onroad performance is on par with the best, but when ice hits the mountains or it rains buckets, I remember why I bought the RRS. Ive been places on my property in it, that Id only been able to hike into before. The interior is ergonomically sound and beautifully executed. The subsystems work quite well and most of the complaints Ive heard come from folks who, seemingly, didnt bother to read the manual (s). Also, I dont mind the "bling" factor, but dont use the 20" wheels offroad, or youll run the risk of pinching a rim. Overall, the RRS is head and shoulders above the rest. If you want a luxury car, buy one, an SUV,the RRS

loving it - 2006 Land Rover Range Rover Sport
By Brian - October 12 - 11:30 amJust took a quick road trip in my new supercharged sport and I LOVE IT! I wasnt sure about buying an SUV but since my needs were changing & a RS4 no longer made sense I went looking for a sport SUV. The Cayenne-S drive was a disappointment and the X5 doesnt really have enough room so the only option was the RR sport super. Having gone on a road trip there is no question this was the right choice. I wanted performance & this is total performance. Acceleration, handling, braking everything is exceeding my hopes. The interior is beautiful but the drive is what really counts. If the maintenance isnt a prob this will easily be the best SUV for those that really wanted a sports car.

Garbage RRS - 2006 Land Rover Range Rover Sport
By Garbage RRS - August 15 - 4:56 amGreat looking RRS, but this car stinks in reliability! 390 horses and it doesnt feel like it. I got smoked by a BMW X5 4.8is. I tell you, who ever thinks this car is some kind of performance machine, is a fool. I have had this thing in the shop for half of the time Ive owned it. Garbage! Traded it in and bought a 2006 BMW X5 4.8is. Now this is a car. Talk about having some B-lls!

Supercharged Would be a 10 - 2006 Land Rover Range Rover Sport
By 3lakeswi - June 18 - 12:33 pmSo far I love my RRS. The only thing I feel it needs is more hp - although more hp is available for a price. Compared to Porsche Cayenne V8, FX45, BMW X5 4.4 - this was by far the best ride for the money. Just coming up on 1000 miles and have loved every minute of it. It will be interesting to see how it works in Northern Wisconsin winters with the stock tires. Also hope the trade-in value will rival that of BMW.

excellent early experience - 2006 Land Rover Range Rover Sport
By happy - May 26 - 3:13 pmI have had the vehicle for just over two months and 3000 miles. I have been a long time SUV owner(14 years; five other vehicles), most recently in an FX 45. I spent considerable time "shopping" the Land Rover, BMW and Lexus vehicles. This vehicle was far and above the superior in the group. Recently took a 1200 mile trip with the family and found the vehicle to be quite comfortable and a pleasure to drive. At this point I would highly recommend strong consideration of this vehicle.

Rose with a thorn - 2006 Land Rover Range Rover Sport
By S. Colson - May 24 - 11:53 pmBought my supercharged RRS loaded, including factor DVD and adaptive cruise control which were options I really didnt have much interest in. Factory DVD system requires headphones with wires, but...they dont come with this $70k+ vehicle. Adaptive cruise control makes interstate trips a real joy...set your cruising speed and forget about putting your foot on the gas pedal or brake. Transmission downshifts around town for this heavy SUV take a toll on gas mileage. Seats are adjustable, but still a little too firm. Acceleration and exhaust note are great. Lots of looks and compliments on this red beauty with 20-inch wheels. Wife loves it too!
