The entry-level engine is a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six that employs a 48-volt hybrid system and makes 355 horsepower in the P360 SE and 395 horsepower in the P400 SE Dynamic.

Its extra horsepower will undoubtedly give it a bit of a boost both around town and on the highway and it offers a litany of luxury and convenience features without requiring a six-figure bill. We think the more powerful SE Dynamic is the trim to go with.

But make no mistake, the Sport earns its place in the Range Rover lineup honestly and for several reasons, not the least of which is this: it looks like money. All this prestige doesn't come cheap, though, and the Range Rover Sport's starting price is higher than other deluxe SUVs such as the BMW X5, Mercedes-Benz GLE-class, and Volvo XC90. The cabin is premium and fitted with desirable tech, including Land Rover's latest Pivi Pro infotainment system and driver-assistance features to help with both on- and off-road driving. A trio of powertrains, including a hybrid inline-six, a plug-in hybrid inline-six, and a mega-power twin-turbo V-8 gives you a good variety of choices. Despite its smaller dimensions, the Sport has a similar silhouette to the more expensive Range Rover-but with an added dose of attitude. But if your budget is slightly less elastic, the 2023 Range Rover Sport is an alternative that's nearly as satisfying. If you're looking for a vehicle that combines off-road capability, luxury accommodations, and the status of an upper-crust image something from Land Rover's top-shelf Range Rover lineup should do just fine.
