Range Rover vs Range Rover Sport

[Origin Unknown]

Looking to go back to an SUV and I like the look for the facelift L405. How to choose between the Sport and the FF? In real world practical terms, what are the differences?

Thanks for all the replies. Real world experiences living with each model helps.

Thoughts on this? https://www.jardinemotors.co.uk/land-rover/used-ca...

Wouldn't be my engine choice, so I can't really offer a comment.

Thanks, is that because it widely accepted as a naff engine, wrong engine for the car or just not your choice? All this helpful BTW

We have one of each, a 2016 RRS 3.0 AB and a 2017 Vogue SE FFRR 4.4. Both are great, RRS actually feels a lot quicker despite the smaller engine but has less boot space. FFRR is longer but otherwise they are the same size. Higher centre console and window line in the RRS give the feeling of sportiness and sitting in rather than on but is still a comfortable place to be. Would get around 35mpg and 30mpg respectively. Fat seems to get through more oil changes than I'd like but I do them myself to save labour charges.

FFRR is far more comfortable on a journey but the RRS is still a nice place to be own a long journey. Bigger windows on the fat let more light in (no surprise) and make it feel light and airy. Seating position and design lend itself to a relaxing drive rather than blatting it around. There are times when I drive the The Fat that I think it's stupid having so much car but it is so good at what it does, carting crap around and long European journeys that I would find it hard to replace. The 4x4 stuff gets used occasionally but is the primary use.

If anything we find The Fat more usable on a long continental journey simply because of the space. We have two spaniels that go everywhere with us so a double cage takes up the back. The lower tailgate is a useful thing to administer an animal after a walk and the taller rear bench allows us to get more dog crap in there because wife. The RRS could fill up quite quickly.

Super helpful. I have a similar use case, we do driving holidays every year, visit family in Switzerland, and then either holiday south of France or the lakes in Italy. Two kids plus one (was two, lost one of our collies recently ) doggo in a crate. Both kids are teens and tall so need to space + none travel light.
