With dramatic styling, huge aluminum wheels, and a wealth of luxury features, the 2008 Land Rover Range Rover Sport is a luxury SUV that can tackle the city streets with aplomb.

Two trim lines are available – HSE and Supercharged – both utilizing a Jaguar-derived V8 engine producing 300 horsepower in HSE models and 390 horsepower in Supercharged models, both with potent acceleration and ample towing power. A standard 6-speed automatic transmission with CommandShift manual shifting control provides smooth gear changes. Also one of the most capable off-road machines on Earth, the Range Rover Sport features Permanent Four-Wheel Drive and Terrain Response that adjusts the off-road settings depending on road conditions. Hill Descent Control automatically adjusts downhill speed on deep descents or slippery grades. Ample ground clearance and approach angles make traversing rocky terrain a breeze. The Electronic Air Suspension allows you to optimize the ride height by adjusting each air spring and features three modes.

Standard Dynamic Stability Control takes the weight distribution into account and adjusts braking accordingly. A vast array of safety features includes 4-wheel Electronic Traction Control, which maximizes vehicle traction on a variety of surfaces. The Standard Anti-Lock Braking System with Electronic Brake Assist prevents wheel lockup and applies maximum braking power in panic situations. Active Rollover Mitigation adjusts the suspension settings to increase handling abilities in fast corners. 8 standard airbags, including dual front, dual side driver and front-passenger airbags, and side curtain airbags for front- and rear-seating positions help protect passengers in all three rows in a collision.

Standard Park Distance Control is an audible alert system that allows perfect parking in low-visibility situations. An available Rear-Seat Entertainment System includes two 6.5-inch video screens into the head restraints to entertain backseat passengers. An available 550-watt, 14 speaker Harman/kardon LOGIC7® sound system fills the air with rich sound quality and the auxiliary audio jack can accommodate an iPod® easily. The standard dual-zone automatic climate control allows separate temperature controls for front seat occupants. The optional technology features include a DVD-based GPS navigation system, SIRIUS® Satellite Radio, a Personal Telephone Integration System with Bluetooth® and a 4x4 information center for the ultimate connected driving experience.

The 2008 Land Rover Range Rover Sport is the SUV of choice for luxury buyers who want something a little meaner and more aggressive than the standard Range Rover.
