Last updated August 4, 2026

About the 2013 Land Rover Range Rover Sport
1st generation (L320, 2006-2013 US), final model year before the all-new second-generation 2014 model
Land Rover positioned the Range Rover Sport as a luxury SUV with stronger road handling and a more athletic character than a traditional utility vehicle, without giving up low-range 4WD and terrain-focused capability. Its identity combines powerful V8 performance, an upscale five-seat cabin, substantial towing ability, and hardware intended for difficult surfaces. It appealed to shoppers wanting one SUV for premium daily travel, fast highway driving, winter conditions, and occasional off-road use.
The 2013 Range Rover Sport ranged from the comfort-focused HSE and HSE Lux to the 510-hp Supercharged and fully equipped Autobiography. Every trim paired a V8 with full-time four-wheel drive, low-range gearing, and a six-speed automatic, while upper versions added features such as adaptive suspension, heated front and rear seats, surround-view cameras, and premium audio.
