The 2006 Range Rover Sport has a similar name, but it's a different vehicle. Built on a smaller platform derived from the Land Rover LR3 but with a thoroughly reworked suspension and a unique but instantly recognizable body, the Sport is everything, well almost everything, the Range Rover Supercharged wants to be but isn't. Spirited, sporty, agile, with a snazzy look; OK, maybe not all that snazzy, but for a Range Rover, it's snazzy. It's also something the LR3 doesn't want to be: a Range Rover that's more comfortable on road than off.
Not only does it fit between the LR3 and the full-size Range Rover in terms of form and function, but it also nicely splits the different in price. It's priced about $20,000 under the top Range Rovers and $10,000-$20,000 over comparable LR3s. Next Page
