AT A GLANCE

Range Rover Sport SVR Base price: $209,900 Powertrain and performance:

5.0- litre supercharged petrol V8, 423 kW/700Nm, 8-speed automatic, AWD, Combined economy 12.8 litres per 100km. Vital statistics: 4879mm long, 1803 mm high, 2923mm wheelbase, luggage capacity 780 litres, 21-inch alloy wheels.

We like: That belligerent noise, the feral acceleration, the superb interior; it’s a proper Range Rover. We don’t like: The price, the occasionally fidgety ride and we wouldn’t have gone for that blackon-white interior/exterior combo.
