Land Rover Range Rover Sport Exterior Review
Exterior - 7.7 (Good)
On balance, most observers gave high marks to the Range Rover Sport's exterior styling. Kelley Blue Book says that the Sport looks "as if it is moving quickly, even when at rest."
Resembling the regular Range Rover, but with a more steeply raked windshield and slightly more tilted roofline, the Sport is "spirited, sporty, agile, with a snazzy look," according to New Car Test Drive. "It's essentially a slightly shorter LR3 with a four-inch haircut and reshaped to look more like the fashionable Range Rover," explains Car and Driver. New Car Test Drive contends, "Appearance-wise, the Sport so closely resembles the top-of-the-line Range Rover that it's like the Disneyland version of Main Street: It looks just like the real one built to a slightly smaller scale."
The praise for the exterior of the Range Rover Sport is also echoed by CNET, which observes that it "looks awesome. Muscular, sleek, and stylishly designed on the outside, it rules the road as the ultimate SUV status symbol." Cars.com adds, "It's a package that exudes class, distinction, and wealth", while Stuff Magazine exclaims, "The Sport gives the impression of speed -- like a latte-addicted Robin Williams -- even before you get rolling."
