Looking for a new luxury SUV in the Stamford area? You’ve come to the right place! We at Land Rover Darien pride ourselves on a wide variety of premium Land Rover vehicles to fit just about every budget and lifestyle. Two of the most popular models in our signature Range Rover line are the new Range Rover Sport and Range Rover Velar, both refreshed for 2023 with plenty of exciting specs and features. Not sure which model is best for you? Check out the guide below to compare the Range Rover Sport and Velar, then head to our inventory to see what we have available!
One of the biggest differences between the new Range Rover Sport and Velar is size. While both SUVs seat five passengers across two rows of seats as standard, the Range Rover Sport can be configured with a third row that ups the passenger capacity to seven. This also means that the Sport has a much higher cargo capacity if you fold all the seats down, although the cargo capacity with all seats up is similar for both SUVs. Here are all the details:

As luxury SUVs, the Range Rover Sport and Velar both offer top-notch amenities and technology inside the cabin! You’ll find heated seats, dual-zone climate control, interior ambient lighting, smartphone integration, and the latest Pivi Pro infotainment system inside both cabins.
However, being a bit pricier, the Range Rover Sport takes things to the next level with heated rear seats, wireless smartphone compatibility, Amazon Alexa, and a larger infotainment touchscreen. Check out the standard interior features for both SUVs:

Finally, let’s look at what you’ll get under the hood of the new Range Rover Sport vs. the Velar. Both models deliver powerful performance specs on the Norwalk roads, and there’s a bit of overlap in their available powertrains.
However, while the Range Rover Velar maxes out at 395 horsepower, the Sport offers two additional engines for incredible acceleration and top speeds, with 523 horsepower and 553 lb-ft of torque! Compare the full performance specs below:
