Competition
9.0/10

2020 Land Rover Range Rover Sport SE vs Jaguar F-Pace

It is the third year for the F-Pace in the market and it has already gained a dominant place when compared to the Range Rover Sport. Moreover it is quite a power packed performer while consuming fuel on par with the Range Rover Sport. Also its lower price makes it a feasible option. Still in terms of Spacious and luxurious interiors and off roading spirits, the Range Rover has an upper hand

2020 Land Rover Range Rover Sport SE vs Audi Q8

The Audi Q8 debuts this year into the market of midsized SUV crossovers. Paying up a $1,000 more for its power packed performance might seem a feasible option. Although it has taken a fair position in the line, it still cannot match with the luxury and off-roading spirits of this heavy Range Rover.

2020 Land Rover Range Rover Sport SE vs BMW X5

The BMW X5 has been on this Market for quite some time. Surely the BMW knows how to maintain their stand. Although the Range Rover came late into the Market, it stands quite a competition for the X5. Although its powerful than the all new X5, it is quite poor in performance. Moreover, it also consumes less fuel than the Range Rover Sport and also has a spacious and luxurious. Also its low price is one of the major factor that can make it a preference over the Range Rover Sport along with all the other factors

Final Verdict
7.8/10

The Land Rover Range Rover Sport has been in the market for quite some time. It has stand amongst the line along with both the new comers and older ones while still maintaining its credibility. But it seems like its high time for the Range Rover to bring in major upgrades as the 220 Range Rover Sport is a part of the second generation that started in 2014. If not there is a risk that it might lose its stance considering the upgrades brought in by most of its competitors this year.
