About the 2010 Land Rover Range Rover Sport
1st generation Range Rover Sport (L320, 2006-2013 U.S.), major mid-cycle refresh year.
Land Rover positions the Range Rover Sport as the more driver-focused, slightly smaller sibling to the full-size Range Rover. It is meant to blend long-distance comfort, a high-end cabin, and a commanding seating position with quicker responses on pavement, while still keeping true low-range four-wheel-drive hardware and real off-road ability. That mix is the model’s core appeal: a luxury SUV that feels faster and more athletic than a standard Range Rover without giving up the brand’s trail capability.
The HSE is the core model, pairing a 375-hp V8 with air suspension, full-time four-wheel drive, low-range gearing, navigation, and a rearview camera. The Supercharged is the performance version, with a 510-hp V8, shift paddles, sharper suspension settings, and stronger front brakes.
