Cabin cubbies are ample, especially in the front row. The Range Rover Sport Supercharged has less cargo space than many competitors, but it still offers enough storage for most every-day use. The optional third row should not be considered a realistic solution for families who frequently need to seat more than five. Driver and front passenger enjoy acres of space to spread out in the Range Rover Sport, and second-row passengers will be comfortable even if they have slightly less space than those in the second row of the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT. However, it failed to feel significantly more expensive or comfortable than the interior of any other Land Rover we've driven. The Autobiography model we tested, with its top-of-the-line, super-luxe interior treatment, had attractive aluminum trim and plenty of baubles. The Range Rover Sport Supercharged comes standard with sumptuous leather interior trimmings and can have 20-way adjustable, massaging front seats and four-zone automatic climate control. For more information about the Range Rover Sport Supercharged's fuel economy, visit the EPA's website. It boasts an EPA rating of 23 mpg highway, while the diesel model has a highway rating of 28 mpg. Drivers who are more interested in the Range Rover Sport's cachet than in the Supercharged models' performance may be just as happy with the supercharged 3.0-liter V-6 version (reviewed separately). In our real-world highway fuel-economy testing, the Range Rover Sport Supercharged delivered just 18 mpg. The most efficient model is rated at 17 mpg city and 22 mpg highway. ![]() It's difficult to enjoy the visceral pleasures of a supercharged V-8 without suffering at the pump, but the Sport Supercharged is about as efficient as rivals such as the Mercedes-AMG GLE63, the Porsche Cayenne Turbo, and the BMW X5 M. Land Rover Fuel Economy and Real-World MPG The Range Rover Sport Supercharged's maximum towing capacity is a stout 7716 pounds. The Sport's tall body leans perceptibly in tight corners and sweeping curves-as you might expect in a top-heavy SUV-but it never loses its composure. The steering in our test car was well weighted (perhaps a little too heavy for soccer-drop-off duty, but perfect for back roads) and accurate. The Sport Supercharged grips the road tightly when cornering. If the mood strikes you to take this nearly $100,000 SUV off the beaten path, there are modes for snow, mud, sand, and rock crawling. Auto mode will suffice most of the time, while Dynamic dials in sportier settings for the engine and transmission. True to its off-road heritage, the Range Rover Sport Supercharged features an all-wheel-drive system with six selectable drive modes. Paired exclusively with an eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive, this setup readily and easily blasts past legal speed limits. Making 518 horsepower in "regular" Supercharged models and 575 in the tuned-up SVR trim, the supercharged V-8 that powers these models is smooth, guttural, and eye-wateringly quick. ![]() The supercharged 5.0-liter V-8 engine under the hood is what separates Supercharged and SVR models from more run-of-the-mill Land Rover Range Rover Sports. There's still a lot to love with this "base" model, including 21-inch wheels, a power sunroof, a 13-speaker Meridian sound system, 16-way power-adjustable heated front seats, leather upholstery, blind-spot monitoring, and a 360-degree exterior camera system. Go with the HSE Dynamic trim and use that savings to add some cool options-or save it for your fuel bill. The extra horsepower that's offered on the top-of-the-line SVR trim is nice, but in our opinion it's not quite worth the extra expense. Land Rover's bad-boy SUV receives only one change for 2022: It now comes standard with USB-C ports for smartphone connectivity and charging. Those competitors are all more satisfying to drive and provide even quicker acceleration, but the Rover has an undeniable movie star charm that some buyers will find irresistible. Its performance potential means it competes with other luxury utes from Audi, BMW, Mercedes-AMG, and Porsche. When it's not being pushed to its limit, though, the Range Rover Sport Supercharged offers all the trappings of a modern Land Rover, which is to say it's both comfortable and luxurious. ![]() This sport-tuned SUV is available with either 518 or 575 horsepower, and its shockingly quick acceleration is a shot of pure adrenaline. With a supercharged 5.0-liter V-8 under its hood, a menacing exterior design, and a spine-tingling exhaust note, the 2022 Range Rover Sport Supercharged and SVR will let you live out your Bond villain fantasy.
