It’s a luxury car, a performance saloon, a tow truck and a fully capable all-wheel-drive off-roader. If you’re flush with cash – and you need all those cars in your life – then it’s time to buy a Range Rover Sport, writes Ray Castle of motors.co.uk.So long as you can get past its ‘Premiership footballer’ image, there’s wisdom in choosing one. For one thing, although it’s a fair bit cheaper to buy than a full-blown Range Rover, it’s almost as roomy inside. And, if you go for the 4.2 or 5.0 petrol V8 supercharged models, the acceleration is boggling for such a tall, heavy car – as quick as a Porsche Boxster’s.
Whichever model you pick, it’ll have massive on-road presence and lends a sense of occasion that few other vehicles can match.
The Sport’s been around for five years now, meaning that the oldest cars could be yours from around £16,000 – a quarter of what you’d pay for one new.
