Auto Car | Land Rover Range Rover Sport 2008 | The 2008 Land Rover Range Rover Sport cuts a mean profile with its chiseled shape and tall greenhouse (the windows). 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 looked like it was ready to tackle forest trails or desert sands. Lately, however, most Land Rovers are apt to be found conquering the parking lots of upscale malls or cruising the beach boulevards of Palm Beach or Monterey. Regardless of where you see one, the 2008 Land Rover Range Rover Sport is a nice piece of design work. There are two Sport models: the base HSE and the Supercharged.
The high degree of style continues inside where characteristically British woods, leathers, and wools (in the carpets) make for a pleasingly rich experience. However, the interior is rather snug, and inexpensive bits and pieces of trim seem to have snuck in the Range Rover Sport.In terms of differences between the 2008 Land Rover Range Rover Sport HSE and Supercharged, it's almost enough to say that everything that could be standard is standard on the top model. This includes real premium woods, genuine leather seats with heaters, a beverage cooler, an advanced navigation system, and much more.
Controls take some getting used to, as there are multiple settings that prepare the Sport for all manner of on- or off-road driving. The suspension rises and lowers, programs for the electronically controlled throttle and brake system change--it's all very complex, and the pictographs on the controller's dial clue you in as to what setting to use for what conditions. You really don't need to understand all that is happening mechanically; you just need to know it works.
