This is the athlete of the bunch, and it’s evident from the moment you approach the truck. It looks low, with an optional two-tone paint job that accentuates the sleek body lines. Wheels are big and fill the wells nicely, with a wide stance that hints at the power underneath. Yet it is still immediately identifiable as a Range Rover, with a classic shape and silhouette that harkens back decades. The details, however, are quite modern; it’s got LEDs front and rear and more than a touch of the successful Evoque’s design.
There’s a new third-row seat option, but forget putting anyone you like back there — it’s kid-sized. Overall, the new Range Rover Sport looks as it should — a racy, butch machine that looks as if it will easily deliver on Land Rover’s promise that this is the fastest truck it’s ever made.
