Is the standard Range Rover too staid? Enter the Range Rover Sport, which is Land Rover's version of an AWD sport wagon. The Sport dispenses with any pretension of off-road capability with its lowered chassis and performance tires. A sleeker profile with a subtle rear sloping roofline signifies that this Range Rover is intended for the road and not the trails. The new supercharged V-8 with dual exhausts ensures performance to back up the aggressive looks.

The 2009 model receives very minor cosmetic changes. Exterior changes are limited to new tail lamp and side marker lenses. On the interior, minor finish changes to the vent surrounds, center console and door pulls.
