4.6 (21 reviews) 85 of drivers recommend this car. The SUV maintains its classic shape, most notably its 360-degree belt line/hood line that gives the Range Rover the impression that the top third of the car could be popped off like it was made of Lego.2015 Land Rover Range Rover Sport consumer reviews. The Range Rover is near the end of its current generation cycle, but the current design, which debuted in 2012, hardly looks out of date.I also think it’s ugly the longer I stare at it, the more dated it looks.2015 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 2015 3.0 SDV6 HSE Pricing and Specs: 3.0 SDV6 HSE Dynamic: 3.0L, Diesel, 8 SP AUTO : 71,900 90,970: 2015 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 2015 3.0 SDV6 HSE Dynamic Pricing and Specs: 3.0 SDV6 SE: 3.0L, Diesel, 8 SP AUTO : 54,700 69,190: 2015 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 2015 3.0 SDV6 SE Pricing and SpecsAnyway, I figured I’d be upfront with my biases, because my irrational hatred for this car only made my stint behind the wheel that much more frustrating. While Range Rovers have long since ceased to be rugged-but-charming work vehicles with endearing/infuriating “quirks,” most of the brand’s offerings can at least trace their respective lineages to something functional. For one, I don’t understand where it fits in the Land Rover family (even as I fully comprehend the market case for it). ASSOCIATE EDITOR GRAHAM KOZAK: I’ll come right out and say that I just don’t get the Range Rover Evoque.I think they were going for stiff and sporty, but it ended up feeling somewhat trucky. Steering was pleasantly direct.My biggest complaint was the somewhat rough ride. Tap the throttle, and this thing wants to go. First, the motor was not disappointing that 2.0-liter feels like a stout powerplant, and if anything, I’d want a more gradual throttle tip-in. It has a certain regal appeal that. The Range Rover Sport is a more traditional looking SUV than most of its curvy competitors.
2015 Range Rover Reviews Drivers Recommend ThisIt doesn’t bother me that it’s significantly smaller than anything else in the lineup, or that Mrs. You’ll probably love it, but it’s simply not to my taste - I just wish I could figure out why it bugs me so damn much.ONLINE FEATURES EDITOR JAKE LINGEMAN: I like the look of the Evoque. It’s the adult-size equivalent of a gaudy Power Wheels Hummer. True, there’s the new Discovery Sport - capable enough by all initial accounts, but no 21 st century Defender.Anyway, the Evoque: to me, it’s little more than a fashion-statement soft-roader with a Victoria Beckham-branded special edition to tempt you. But I’m not running the company, so they didn’t. The LR1 would be a good name, save the Range moniker for the big ones.The interior is nice and plush, but not as plush as the cushy confines of a Supercharged Range. This is a new-style Rangie made for the eco-econoclasts who want to save the planet. It’s supposed to be blinged out and at least have a 400-hp V8 and 21-inch wheels, and maybe two 12-inch woofers in the back. That convertible is an abomination, though.Range Rover, to me, says upper class, rapper, ball player, something like that. I found putting it in S mode made it better, especially on expressway ramps where it held a gear to about 4,000 rpm. Sometimes when you want a downshift it’ll upshift, and if you’re rolling onto the power from 5 mph or so, it’ll jump back into first with a little jerkiness. The nine-speed automatic is still a little weird. I like the monochromatic style, too.Power from the 2.0-liter turbo four is good, it never felt like it was straining. Seadoo vts relaySteering is nice and direct, which is the best thing about these small CUVs/SUVs, they handle way better than the full-size Ford Explorers and Dodge Durangos of the past.At $57,000, I’d say no way. Which is strange, because I thought the engine was a little noisier than expected. I wasn’t trying to dodge any potholes but none of them upset the car too much or made too much noise. As we’ve said before, this car’s quickness can trick you - squeeze the gas pedal and next thing you know, you’re going quite a bit faster than you thought.The interior is gorgeous and looks and feels well built.The youngsters above sneer that the Evoque is a fashion statement. A new four is in the works, but I got no issues with this one. Like a go-anywhere hot hatch.There’s plenty of oomph here, even though this is mostly the aging Ford EcoBoost four-cylinder. It’s different and I thought it was a fun, delightful scooter. If you’re looking for more efficiency, I’d recommend the Mazda CX-5, which is one of my personal favorites in the class.EDITOR WES RAYNAL: I like the Evoque - like it a lot. The BMW X1 with the four-cylinder starts at $31K, while the X3 starts at $38.5K. Let’s try it on some challenging trails before we make judgments shall we?And whining about the price: Perhaps you’d prefer a $100K-plus Porsche Macan?Options: Pure premium package including passive entry, surround camera system, HDD navigation, intuitive voice control, meridian surround sound, 825-watt 17-speakers, subwoofer, adaptive xenon headlamps w/LED signature lighting, auto high beam assist, blind spot monitor w/ closing vehicle sensor, reverse traffic detection, load space rails ($4,800) pure plus package including powered leather seats with lumbar and memory, Homelink fixed panoramic roof with power blind front fog lights, headlamp powerwash, 19-inch alloy wheels, powered tailgate ($3,000) climate comfort package including heated front and rear seats, windshield, steering wheel and washer jets ($1,300) SiriusXM satellite and HD radio including three month Sirius trial subscription ($750) protection package including rubber floor mats, cargo mat, windshield shade ($402) Vehicle Model InformationPOWERTRAIN: 2. On what evidence was that sentence written? I drove these in Scotland off-road and they handled everything we threw at it. Further, calling it a soft roader is just flat wrong. Sorry the exterior isn’t dull enough for the two knuckleheads above.
