Hyundai Palisade Hybrid vs Land Rover Range Rover Sport

Now in its third-generation, the Range Rover Sport is a smaller alternative to the traditional Range Rover and a more stylish alternative to the utilitarian Land Rover Defender and Discovery. Competitors include two-row midsize luxury SUVs like the BMW X5, Mercedes-Benz GLE, and Porsche Cayenne. This generation was introduced for the 2023 model year, so the 2025 Land Rover Range Rover Sport sees minimal changes.

Verdict: Blending traditional Land Rover looks and luxury with sportier on-road driving dynamics, the Range Rover Sport justifies its place in the automaker’s convoluted lineup but not in the larger luxury SUV market.
