Although the Range Rover Sport is equipped with a powerful supercharged engine, it still feels less powered while looking at the Jaguar F-Pace which leads the class with a horsepower of 380 hp followed by the Audi Q8. However it stands on par with the X5, the Levante and the Cayenne

Due to low power and heavy weight the 2020 Range Rover Sport SE gives out a poor performance. It takes 6.8 sec to accelerate to a speed of 60 MPH. However the Higher trims with the V8 engines, take less than 5 seconds to catch up this speed.

Ride and Handling

The 2020 Land Rover Range Rover sport might not be a great performer to scoot on the highways, but it remember what it is made for. To conquer the most rugged paths what you need is not speed, its stability and confidence. So with its standard four-wheel drive, and with drive modes that can be enhanced with a low-speed transfer case, the Range Rover Sport instills that confidence while driving through mud, snow, gravel or any other rugged paths. Also wheel articulation of the Sport is better than the other Range Rover.

2020 Land Rover Range Rover Sport SE vs Audi Q8

The Audi Q8 debuts this year into the market of midsized SUV crossovers. Paying up a $1,000 more for its power packed performance might seem a feasible option. Although it has taken a fair position in the line, it still cannot match with the luxury and off-roading spirits of this heavy Range Rover.

If not there is a risk that it might lose its stance considering the upgrades brought in by most of its competitors this year.
