2023 Range Rover vs. 2023 Range Rover Sport

If you’re comparing the 2023 Range Rover vs. Range Rover Sport, you should know right off the bat that both models have recently undergone a comprehensive redesign—and as a result, both SUVs are offering more than ever before. However, since a new Range Rover starts at $104,500 MSRP and a new Range Rover Sport starts at $83,000 MSRP, it’s important to be clear about what both models have to offer. Our in-depth comparison guide covers everything you’ll need to know to make the right call!

Range Rover vs. Range Rover Sport: Capacities & Dimensions

Although this wasn’t always the case, the Range Rover Sport is now exclusively available with seating for up to five passengers. (Previously, the Range Rover Sport offered an optional third row.) Today, drivers who want a third row of seating will prefer the flagship Range Rover, which offers optional seating for up to seven in models that have been equipped with the Long Wheelbase.

Compare the key dimensions of both models to find the build that will best suit your needs:

2023 Land Rover Range Rover: Interior Dimensions

• Up to 40.4 inches of second-row legroom with the Standard Wheelbase
• Up to 48.0 inches of second-row legroom with the Long Wheelbase
• Up to 83.5 cubic feet of cargo space with the Standard Wheelbase
• Up to 92.8 cubic feet of cargo space with the Long Wheelbase
• Five seats as standard, four with Executive Class Rear Seating, or seven with optional third row seats

2023 Land Rover Range Rover Sport: Interior Dimensions

• Up to 37.8 inches of second-row legroom
• Up to 118 cubic feet of cargo space
• Five seats as standard

Although the Range Rover has more second-row legroom with or without the wheelbase extension, the Range Rover Sport can accommodate more cargo with the rear seats flat. So, you really can’t go wrong either way.

Range Rover vs. Range Rover Sport: Performance

The 2023 Range Rover comes standard with more power than the Range Rover Sport, but the two models offer nearly identical amounts of power as you move down the lineup. Moreover, both SUVs are now available with plug-in hybrid powertrains:

• 434-hp 3.0L V6 PHEV (Plug-In Hybrid)

Range Rover vs. Range Rover Sport: Key Interior Features

The Range Rover is the only model in this matchup that offers features like a Long Wheelbase, optional third-row seating, and optional Executive Class 2nd-row seats. Depending on your needs, that alone might be enough to convince you that the Range Rover is worth its higher starting price—but these are not the only features that set the flagship Range Rover apart!

All of the following features require an upgrade in the Range Rover Sport, but come standard in the Range Rover:

• Privacy Glass
• Sliding Panoramic Roof
• All Terrain Info Sensor
• Powered Gesture Tailgate
• And more!

Despite these differences, both the Range Rover Sport and the Range Rover are remarkably luxurious. Choosing the Range Rover over the Range Rover Sport gives you the chance to access additional seating or a more spacious cabin, but you’ll encounter similar amenities in both models.
