60: Range Rover and Range Rover Sport – membership of the country set

The two biggest Range Rover models can be considered as one continual range, not least because they both share a common aluminium structure as their base, as well as most of their engines and ancillary systems. That said, there are clear differences.

The Range Rover Sport is the CEO’s car - stylish, surprisingly good fun to drive, roomy, and with the option of seven seats. Loaded-up, it’s hard to imagine a smoother and more soothing way to cross country. Ah, that is until you see what the company president and chairman is driving; the ‘full fat’ Range Rover.

Arguably more stylish, but definitely more luxurious, the Range Rover is a strict five-seater (four-seater if you go for the rear seat centre console) and gloriously refined. Comfort levels can almost put an S-Class to shame, and even a much more expensive Bentley Bentayga can't beat the Range Rover for sheer image.

And, of course, they’re both amazing off-road. That shouldn’t matter. Yet it does. New plugin hybrid models should improve green credentials a little.
