Range Rover Sport Review
Introduced in May 2005, the Range Rover Sport is the fifth model in the Land Rover line up. We first saw the precursor of the Range Rover Sport in 2004 in the shape of the Range Stormer, at the Detroit Car Show. Built on the chassis and modified underpinnings of the Discovery 3, but unlike the Discovery the Range Rover Sport has only five seats which means those clever engineers can shorten the chassis to give the Sport the dynamics to bill it as a Sports Tourer to take on the likes of the BMW X5. Sports Utility Vehicles (SUV) such as the Range Rover Sport have recently been given bad press, so we are pleased to see that all Land Rover vehicles now include their own C02 offset package, which is independently administrated by Climate Care, which ensures that the average amount of C02 produced by the Range Rover Sport for its first 45,000 miles are offset by investments in a mixed portfolio of projects, including renewable energy. We tested the Range Rover Sport HSE fitted with the TDV8 engine on a family holiday from Devon to Northumbria to see if it lives up to its formidable reputation. How It Drove - PerformanceThe Range Rover Sport is available with three engine choices, there are two diesel options - a 2. 7 litre 190hp TDV6 and a 3. 6 litre 271hp TDV8 plus there is a supercharged petrol 4. 2 litre 396hp V8. the full review

Land Rover Freelander 2
Land Rover Freelander 2 Review
The original Land Rover Freelander caused a stir when it was launched in 1997. It proved so popular that it topped the 4x4 charts in Europe for five years and in the UK, it was the best-seller from its launch until 2005, according to Land Rover. So, can the new Freelander 2 achieve the same level of popularity? There seems to be no reason why not. the full review

Range Rover Sport Review
The fifth and latest name in the Land Rover line-up - the Range Rover Sport is a bit of a hybrid as it is neither Range Rover nor Landie but a good mixture of the two. The result of this amalgam is an SUV or Sports Tourer as Land Rover like to call it, with Range Rover looks and luxury in combination with Land Rover capability. Underpinning the Sport is an Integrated Body-frame platform borrowed from the Discovery3 but shortened by six inches for better agility. the full review
