RANGE ROVER SPORT 1
2005 to 2013
THE Sport fulfils the fast premium 4x4 segment with style. It shares the same platform as the Discovery 3/4 and is just as impressive offroad. A great long-distance cruiser and entertaining on the right roads. If you need a load-lugger though, the more versatile Discovery is better. Tyres, brakes and suspension tend to have a hard time, so buy carefully. Despite being replaced by the secondgeneration Sport, early models are still popular. But are they beginning to look a bit dated?
BUYER’S TIP: Values are falling. Be prepared to haggle.
