Overview & Reviews
The 2010 Land Rover Range Rover Sport receives a number of mechanical and feature updates. Underneath some minor exterior styling revisions are all-new V8 engines and a revised six-speed automatic transmission. Chassis refinements include updates to the brakes, active damping and Terrain Response systems. The interior is further refined with a revised control layout, a new hard-drive-based navigation system, available paddle shifters for the Supercharged model and a 360-degree parking assist camera.
- Refined road manners, powerful supercharged V8 engine, iconic Range Rover name and styling, high-class cabin, theoretically capable of tackling off-road conditions.
- Hefty curb weight, limited rear seat headroom, sloping liftgate compromises cargo space, questionable reliability.

Love the car - Hate the constant service needs - 2010 Land Rover Range Rover Sport
By bucky5412 - August 26 - 5:29 pmIve put 37,000 km on my 2010 Range Rover Sport mostly driving 6 hours to my cottage in Quebec. Fantastic driving experience as it is heavy and a very comfortable ride - and attractive. The Harman Kardon sound system is the best Ive heard in a vehicle. It is very difficult to criticize the driving experience. The drawback is the numerous service aggravations which have motivated me to sell it prematurely. For a vehicle of this quality with 50,000 km, it has been in the shop far too many times.

Puzzled? - 2010 Land Rover Range Rover Sport
By Puzzled - August 20 - 4:53 am2 weeks of having the car, the driver seat no longer moves forward- backwards. My wife couldnt drive it since the seat was stuck farther back that her foot is unable to reach the pedals. Funny! Took it to the dealer and was told they had to order a new motor. Came the new motor after couple of weeks and had it installed. The driver seat still didnt work. LR service then told me that it must be the programming. They were puzzled on how to resolve the issue and kept my car for 2 weeks. Talk about reliability! Now Im second guessing if this car was truly worth it.

not tired of it yet - 2010 Land Rover Range Rover Sport
By laserdoc86 - July 27 - 4:19 amI have owned by RRS for 2 years now, and I still love driving this car. I love the driving position, acceleration and looks of the car. It is one of those cars that stands out from the rest. Over all the experience has been positive. The car has been reliable, except for the earlier problems with the camera system, which I really think you only need the rear camera. The brakes do wear early, got mine replaced at 21,000 miles.

Nice All Around - 2010 Land Rover Range Rover Sport
By Broskay - May 3 - 8:46 amI have always wanted a RRS mainly because of its good looks. I decided against buying the 09 model because I considered it not technologically up to date. My 2005 Infiniti FX 35 came with a back up camera, which was still missing in the RRS as at last year. They sure did make up for all the short comings this time around. I really dont have a lot of problems with the fact that the exterior is not significantly differentiated from the old model. Ive always considered the exterior look beautiful.I get to take it on a drive to Tennessee this weekend for Thanksgiving and Im sure it is going to be a fun ride based on what Ive experienced cruising around town so far. The drive is really smooth

Made the switch and love it! - 2010 Land Rover Range Rover Sport
By sanswooper - March 25 - 6:36 amAfter 10 years and 2 Toyota Landcruisers I was looking for something a little smaller, but with all the bells and whistles. The 2010 RRS has it all! Extended leather opt gives it as good a fit and finish as any MB, Caddy, or Lexus. Ride quality is definitely sporty and European, but not at the expense of luxury, and the exhaust note is aggressive but subtle. Surround camera system is a bit hokey until you need to parallel park in a tight spot. After a year and a couple dozen test drives the 2010 RRS beat the competition. Ive had it for a month and still tell people I like better the more I drive it.

I love mine! - 2010 Land Rover Range Rover Sport
By Broskay - March 14 - 8:00 amGot mine in Nov 2009. Waited this long to write a review because I truly want to experience the car. It is a joy to own and drive. It turns heads everywhere I go. I have not seen a lot of it on the road yet. After taking a 500 mile trip, I did not experience any body aches or soreness. I just wanted to keep driving for the sheer joy of driving this automobile. I have not experienced any of these difficulties that some of the reviewers have described. Mine is a stornoway gray with almond interior and luxury package. The sound system is great. Actually better than the Bose I have had in my other luxury SUV. I wish they would use more wood grain on the interior and get rid of the refrigerator.

Great SUV. - 2010 Land Rover Range Rover Sport
By Doug - March 23 - 2:00 amThis is the first SUV I have owned in years. I was impressed from the time I test drove the vehicle. Other than a minor electrical issue the vehicle has been outstanding. I would highly recommend this vehicle to anyone.

New From the Inside OUt - 2010 Land Rover Range Rover Sport
By Laureate2 - November 25 - 6:06 amI remember test driving the first Range Rover Sport, and leaving confused as to how they could name such a slow vehicle "sport." Finally the 2010 version earns the name. The 5 Liter engine provides plenty of punch which actually seems faster then the 7.2 0-60 listing. Even better, the interior finally looks and acts like a luxury vehicle. Big touch screen, leather & wood, keyless entry and the Ipod, USB docks. I just wish there was a little more differentiation between this one and its predecessor. Only a trained and peering eye picks up on the subtle styling cues. If youre on the fence about this car, have the salesperson take you on the off-road track. Youll be sold. Cheers
