If I had the money I'd buy a... Range Rover Sport

Looking for a car that can conquer all terrains? The Range Rover Sport could be your dream.

SO, YOU WANT a car with a great mix of utility and luxury. A car that can go anywhere, has lots of power and yet is comfortable and practical, too.

I’d buy a Range Rover Sport.

Why a Range Rover Sport?

The Range Rover Sport is a class leading car and is one of the most successful vehicles Land Rover has ever produced. It is a seriously capable machine with buckets of brand appeal. It drives brilliantly, has a beautiful interior and the way it handles you would think it is half the size.

It is also a tech fest with features such as speed proportional Electronic Power Assisted Steering (EPAS), Hill Descent Control (HDC), Terrain Response and Low Traction Launch.

Who else drives one?

Who doesn’t drive one? The posh SUV’s appeal is global. The Kardashians are particularly fond of Range Rover Sports, but don’t let that put you off. Michael Phelps drives a Range Rover Sport HSE fitted with 24-inch chrome and black Asanti rims and David Beckham once owned a custom Range Rover Sport with ‘Beckham’ stitched into the carpets.
