- Range Rover Sport Autobiography comes with a 523 hp V8 and loaded with options.
- We’re testing it as though it were ours for a full week and over hundreds of miles.
- This example is a fully loaded version that is just shy of the most expensive trim.
If you’ve been keeping an eye on the luxury SUV market lately, you might’ve noticed something odd. Despite Land Rover temporarily halting imports to the USA, demand hasn’t exactly taken a nosedive. Quite the opposite, actually, as the brand’s sales surged from 2023 to 2024.

Curious what all the buzz is about, we took a Firenze Red Range Rover Sport on a proper road trip to see for ourselves. Now it’s your turn to ask us anything about this $130,000 powerhouse of an SUV.

Range Rover sells a few different variants of the Sport, and ours just so happens to be one of the very best. Dubbed the Autobiography, this trim comes with a 4.4-liter V8 engine that makes 523 horsepower (390 kW) and 553 lb-ft (752 Nm) of torque. It sends that power to all four 23-inch wheels via an eight-speed automatic gearbox. It has a base price, before options, of $123,400.
What $130K Gets You (Besides a Big Engine)
Naturally, our tester didn’t roll off the line bare-bones. This vehicle has a few options, including the aforementioned wheels that add $1,100 to the bottom line. On top of that, it has a towing package ($1,200), a “premium interior protection & storage pack ($740), a cold climate pack ($450), a convenience pack ($385), and has onboard wifi ($360). Add up a few other little bits and bobs, and you reach the grand total of $130,110 after destination and delivery.

Put simply, this is not a bad car to go on a road trip in, so that’s what we did. Land Rover was kind enough to let us drive it across state lines to put it through its paces. We soaked up hundreds of miles and are ready to spill the beans on everything good and less good about this six-figure SUV.
While we’ll save our thoughts for a full review, we’re interested in what you want to know. Ask us the hard-hitting questions, the nerdy inquiries, and the engineering quandaries. We’ll get back to you with detailed answers in short order.
