Range Rover Sport TDV8 HSE

An undeniable part of the delight of driving these vehicles is the palpable satisfaction that comes from sitting high off the road and at the same time being able to charge as hard as if behind the wheel of a bona fide sports car. Add in a generous dose of luxury and you have an intoxicatingly tasty recipe for driver satisfaction.

Land Rover has revised its most road-focused SUV ever, the Range Rover Sport. The Sport TDV6 comes very well fitted out and includes everything you will ever want: including permanent four-wheel drive, 20-inch alloy wheels, six-speed adaptive automatic transmission with CommandShift and high/low range, electronically-controlled air-suspension with Terrain Response, and the all important Satellite Navigation. There is also a nine-speaker Harman/Kardon audio system, DAB tuner, MP3 connection and Bluetooth. The Range Rover Sport TDV6 HSE is a 3.0 litre Twin Turbocharged engine. With more than its fair share of 'grunt', the driving characteristics are decidedly un-diesel: it sounds purposeful, revs freely and, thanks to the impressive torque, feels as eager on the road as the faster supercharged petrol.

Wherever you are in one of these, in the buzz of the city or far from civilisation, the Sport makes that landscape its own.
