| Road Test |
The 2009 Land Rover Range Rover Sport pairs a slightly slimmed-down, chiseled profile, resembling the larger Range Rover, with a lower center of gravity and underpinnings that are tuned more for on-road performance than hard-core off-roading. The shape recalls classic Range Rovers that came along well before the Sport’s 2006 introduction, all with elegantly thin roof pillars and a purposeful presence that looks like it’s ready to tackle forest trails or desert sands.
