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.

7.8/10
The Land Rover Range Rover Sport has been in the market for quite some time. It has stand amongst the line along with both the new comers and older ones while still maintaining its credibility. But it seems like its high time for the Range Rover to bring in major upgrades as the 220 Range Rover Sport is a part of the second generation that started in 2014. If not there is a risk that it might lose its stance considering the upgrades brought in by most of its competitors this year.
