The previous Range Rover Sport appealed more for its low running costs than the way it drove as its 2.0-litre petrol engine was a little too weedy for such a large SUV.
That’s no longer the case as the new third-generation Sport now features a lusty 3.0-litre straight-six petrol engine and a much larger battery – 38.2kWh to be precise. It all adds up to a stomach-churning 0-62mph sprint time of 5.2 seconds, just 16 g/km and a claimed 70 miles of pure electric range. That puts it into the 5% BiK bracket meaning it’s a very appealing option if you’re a corporate high-flyer, as it’ll be super cheap to run and yet has all the presence and prestige of all the other Range Rover Sports in the same business car park.
The new Sport features much of its bigger brother’s opulent interior and a similar wafty ride when you just want to cruise from board meeting to board meeting. But when you’re in the mood for a more exciting commute, the Sport serves up a rather thrilling driving experience thanks to its four-wheel steering and active roll-bars, which help prevent the car’s body rolling around through the corners.
There are two versions called the P460e and the more powerful (and pricier) P550e, but we’d opt for the former. Neither are cheap but do you really expect a Range Rover to cost buttons?
The new Sport has an unbeatable tax rate for company car drivers
