Despite its name, the Sport is based on the Land Rover LR4. It is biased toward on-road handling and has suppressed body lean but lacks the truly sporty handling of some competitors. The ride is quite stiff. The 300-hp V8 we tested did the job, and the current V8 is more powerful yet no more thirsty. With a height-adjustable suspension and an advanced four-wheel-drive system, it does well off-road. Visibility is very good, and the rear seat is accommodating. The tasteful, wood- and leather-lined interior is lavish, but the controls are frustrating to use.
