Used Range Rover Sport for sale: everything you need to know

The Range Rover Sport is one of Land Rover’s top-selling vehicles. It’s been a desirable luxury SUV for years, winning favour with those who want a Range Rover-badged alternative to a Porsche, Mercedes-Benz or even a Land Rover Defender.

This latest model, which was introduced in 2022, aims to push the boundaries still further. Following the styling of the latest Range Rover, it is the most upmarket Range Rover Sport ever, with smooth and sophisticated styling, plus an interior that has been transformed by the latest tech. 

Rivals to the Range Rover Sport include the Porsche Cayenne, the Audi Q7 and the excellent BMW X5. 

It has a strong range of engines, including high-performance V8s, fuel-sipping diesels and even a range of plug-in hybrids. Take a look at a Range Rover Sport for sale on heycar to discover just what’s on offer. But first, let’s tell you what you need to know. 

Should you buy a Range Rover Sport?

The latest Range Rover Sport is an extremely desirable car to buy or lease. It has an enhanced sense of style, thanks to minimalist lines that give it an even smoother and sportier profile to set it apart from the flagship Range Rover. It’s striking just how carefully-crafted the design now is. 

Inside, it has been transformed. The old car was good, but this is on another level. The centrepiece is Land Rover’s brilliant Pivi Pro infotainment system, which is among the best-looking and easiest to use systems in the business. The dashboard also has a pared-back look to match the exterior, with jewel-like details and some of the finest materials to make it feel even more luxurious. 

With five comfortable seats, the Range Rover Sport is a roomy and comfortable machine in which to pass the miles. A comprehensive options list includes plenty of extras, including a high-end audio system. Occupants even enjoy full cabin air purification and active noise cancelling. 

There’s an enticing line-up of engines. The diesels are all of the 3.0-litre straight-six variety, boasting mild hybrid tech to deliver impressive fuel economy. There is also a choice of 3.0-litre straight-six turbo petrols, again with mild hybrid tech – or the option of plug-in hybrid technology for more than 70 miles of pure electric driving. A range-topping V8 engine offers classic Range Rover Sport performance. 

With a super-sophisticated chassis that boasts air suspension and a long list of electronic aids, the Range Rover Sport drives in a world-class way. It’s more than a match for a Porsche Cayenne, and the perfect platform for buyers to create a bespoke model just for them. If you’re looking to buy or lease a top-notch luxury SUV, the Range Rover Sport is a great choice. 

The Range Rover Sport is a much in-demand model, and it’s easy to see why. This latest one builds on the fantastic reputation of its two predecessors, with an even better drive, a perfectly-crafted design and an interior that’s almost Bentley-like in its luxury and refinement. 

Expanding the engine line-up means there is a powertrain for everyone, be it traditional diesels or more advanced plug-in hybrids. The latter have a fantastic pure electric range thanks to their big batteries. The V8 range-topper is likely to be thrilling, too. 

One of Land Rover’s best-selling models, despite its heady prices, the Range Rover Sport may be more expensive than ever, but it justifies a high price tag. Besides, it’s in such high demand, retained values remain glittering, which helps make it more affordable to lease or buy on PCP finance. Right now, it’s looking like a luxury performance SUV that really can do no wrong.

What’s the best used Range Rover Sport model to buy?

There's not a bad model combination in the Range Rover Sport line-up so we don't think you'll be disappointed, whichever model you choose. The level of standard fit equipment is high, as you'd expect given the price.

The 'entry' Range Rover Sport SE gets a fixed panoramic roof, heated windscreen, heated washer jets, 21-inch alloy wheels (which can be changed to 20-inch alloys for no cost), two-zone climate control, 20-way electric heated memory front seats with heated power recline rear seats, perforated Windsor leather seats and a heated steering wheel.

While we think plug-in hybrid PHEV models are very impressive, we'd still suggest the diesels are the best choice. We'd go for a Range Rover Sport D300 SE Dynamic, which gets 21-inch satin dark grey alloys with black brake calipers and extra dynamic interior and exterior styling.

Used Range Rover Sport fuel economy and performance

• Range Rover Sport 3.0L D250 MHEV: This will be the most affordable engine in the new Range Rover Sport line-up. It’s a 3.0-litre straight-six diesel, with mild hybrid tech as standard, and 249PS giving 0-62mph in 8.0 seconds. Like its two more powerful alternatives, it averages 38.2mpg. 
• Range Rover Sport 3.0L D300 MHEV: Sporting a round 300PS, the D300 MHEV emits the same 194g/km CO2 as the D250 MHEV. However, its extra 51PS helps it from 0-62mph in an appreciably quicker 6.6 seconds. 
• Range Rover Sport 3.0L D350 MHEV: The most powerful diesel in the line-up, the D350 MHEV sees CO2 emissions rise only fractionally, to 195g/km, while the 0-62mph time drops further, to a highly impressive 5.9 seconds. Pretty good for an engine that can still average 38.2mpg. 
• Range Rover Sport 3.0L P360 MHEV: The P360 MHEV is a mild hybrid petrol version of the new Range Rover Sport. It again uses a turbocharged 3.0-litre straight-six engine, and CO2 emissions don’t rise too greatly over the diesel versions, with an average of 212g/km. It returns 30.4mpg and does 0-62mph in 6.0 seconds. 
• Range Rover Sport 3.0L P400 MHEV: The extra 40PS of the Range Rover Sport P400 MHEV is put to good use, cutting 0-62mph acceleration to 5.7 seconds. Yet it still averages more than 30mpg and emits 213g/km CO2. 
• Range Rover Sport 3.0L P440e PHEV: The most affordable plug-in hybrid Range Rover Sport, the P440e uses the same 3.0-litre straight-six petrol engine. It has a 38.2kWh battery, which is good for a very impressive pure electric range of 71 miles. Overall CO2 emissions are just 18g/km on the official test, and it reaches 62mph in 5.8 seconds. 
• Range Rover Sport 3.0L P460e PHEV: Replaced the P440e in 2023 with extra power and more efficiency. The P440e uses the same 3.0-litre straight-six petrol engine and has a more powerful electric motor, and the pure electric range is up to 75 miles. Overall CO2 emissions are down to just 16g/km on the official test, and it reaches 62mph in 5.5 seconds. 
• Range Rover Sport 3.0L P510e PHEV: It’s always nice when an engine produces over 500PS – but the Range Rover Sport P510e doesn’t make you pay for it at the petrol pumps, with a 70-mile electric range helping deliver excellent everyday economy provided you can plug it in often. Zero to 62mph in 5.4 seconds is good going, too.
• Range Rover Sport 3.0L P550e PHEV: Replaced the P510e in 2023. The P440e uses the same 3.0-litre straight-six petrol engine and features the more powerful electric motor seen in the P460e. The electric range is up to 75 miles, CO2 emissions are just 17g/km on the official test, and it reaches 62mph in 4.9 seconds. 
• Range Rover Sport 4.4L P530: The 4.4-litre turbo V8 doesn’t have any fancy fuel-saving tech, which is why average economy is barely 24mpg. But it can do 0-62mph in 4.5 seconds and only an electronic limit caps the top speed to 155mph – so there’s fair return for such thirst. 
• Range Rover Sport 4.4L P635: The range-topping performance Range Rover Sport also uses the 4.4-litre turbo V8 with power boosted to 635PS. It can do 0-62mph in just 3.8 seconds. Fuel economy is "up to" 23.7mpg, according to official figures, and CO2 smissions are 270g/km.

What used Range Rover Sport trims levels are available?

The Range Rover Sport is available in a number of very well-equipped trims, including a lavish First Edition for those looking to buy or lease the new car in its first year on sale. 

• The Range Rover Sport SE is the entry-level version in the range, but don’t think for one moment it has back-to-basics equipment. Even this grade comes with everything you could ever wish for, and plenty more on top. 
• The Range Rover Sport Dynamic SE adds the Dynamic pack to SE grade, bringing unique exterior styling. This includes satin grey alloy wheels and satin burnished copper detailing for the bonnet louvres and side ingots. 
• The Range Rover Sport Autobiography is the highly-specced range-topping model of the core Range Rover Sport line. It has a comprehensive standard kit count and special trim materials outside and in. 
• The Range Rover Sport First Edition has a curated series of features and colours to mark the new Range Rover Sport’s first year of production. It’s a reward for early adopters who want something that stands out.
• The Range Rover Sport SV is the flagship of the range, with extras including hi-tech dynamic air suspension, optional carbonfibre wheels and Brembo carbon-ceramic brakes, as well as all sorts of high-end features as standard. It's also available as a First Edition model.

Used Range Rover Sport road tax

With the Range Rover being a big car, CO2 emissions are quite high. With first year tax based on emissions this means a tax rate of more than £1500 on diesel and petrols. However, the plug-in hybrid PHEVs have very low emissions which means zero car tax for the first 12 months.

With the cheapest Range Rover Sport priced at more than £80,000, all models incur the 'premium car tax' which means an extra £390 a year in tax. This lasts for five years (from the second time the vehicle is taxed) and is in additon to the annual car tax rate, currently £180 for a petrol or diesel and £170 for the PHEV.

How much is to insure a Range Rover Sport? 

When it comes to car insurance, you’re looking at the upper end of the 1-50 insurance group ratings for the Range Rover Sport. The D250 and D300 don’t quite fall into the most expensive group 50 rating, but they’re still not going to be a bargain in terms of annual premiums. It’s a safe bet that insuring a Range Rover Sport will be expensive, maybe even a four-figure bill each year. That’s the price you pay for such a high-end vehicle that is so desirable.
