The LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER SPORT (2005-09) 5DR SUV 2.7 TD V6 SE AUTO6 is a premium five-door SUV, more imposing than an ordinary family crossover. It pairs a commanding driving position and roomy cabin with a road-focused feel, while keeping Land Rover’s go-anywhere image. The 2.7 diesel automatic suits drivers wanting comfortable journeys, space for family and luggage, and confidence on rougher routes; it is less natural for tight city streets or low-cost commuting. Against rivals such as the BMW X5 and Volvo XC90, its distinctive styling and off-road reputation are major draws, though age and size bring higher running costs. mycarcheck.com records 2,189 checks across 839 different VINs, a substantial sample for this model. Its checked cars average £2,800 in private-sale value, 137,000 miles, 6,000 miles annually and 6.3 previous keepers. These figures offer useful context, but each vehicle’s history and condition still matter.
