The LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER SPORT (2005-09) 5DR SUV 4.4 V8 HSE AUTO6 is a large, premium five-door SUV, sitting above ordinary family crossovers in size, price and presence. Its V8 petrol engine and automatic gearbox give it a powerful, relaxed character, while the HSE trim adds an upmarket feel. Mycarcheck.com records 29 look-ups covering 17 different VINs, a useful but modest snapshot. The cars checked averaged 113,000 miles and about five previous keepers; average annual mileage was 4,000. The average private-sale valuation was £3,500, though condition, history and location can make individual examples worth more or less than average. The Range Rover Sport suits families seeking space, comfort and a commanding position, and drivers valuing cruising or towing over fuel economy. Bold styling, a refined cabin and rough-road ability distinguish it from the BMW X5 and Mercedes-Benz M-Class. Used buyers should check service records and budget for fuel and upkeep carefully before buying.
