The 2025 Land Rover Range Rover Sport is a masterful balance between on-road performance and elegance, and off-road ability and ruggedness.

Cons

<li>No 3-row option</li>
<li>High-maintenance</li>

Power, Ride, And Handling

Driving Impressions

Across the Range Rover Sport’s generations, <a href="https://www.kbb.com/car-news/driving-the-2025-range-rover-sport/">our time behind the wheel</a> has seen every sort of off-road surface from deep muck to water crossings, and every sort of on-road or track challenge you might find south of 150 mph or south of the 10 on the 405. Whatever the environment, the Range Rover Sport impresses, even amongst its own-brand alternatives.
The value-packed (and most popular) P400 Dynamic SE trim can sprint from a stop to 60 mph in just 5.2 seconds thanks to its 395-horsepower turbocharged 6-cylinder. The base P360 SE does the same sprint in 5.7 seconds, while the plug-in hybrid P460e nearly matches the P400 at 5.3 seconds. The P530 takes a significant jump up to 523 hp, although the P550e is the top of the non-SV chart at 542 hp. Despite the 550e’s greater output, the P530 accelerates quicker, hitting 60 mph from a stop in 4.3 seconds to the P550e’s 4.7 seconds. Likewise, the P530 has the highest top speed below the SV at 155 mph.
For the purely performance-minded, the SV Edition Two is the obvious choice. Its 626 hp is more than any sane person can reasonably use for any measurable period on the open road, and the chassis is built to handle it. Even the brakes are impressively large — the largest ever fitted to a Range Rover, in fact.
Fuel Economy
The expanded 2025 Range Rover Sport lineup offers a wide range of fuel economies and powertrains. Starting with the least efficient, the Range Rover Sport SV Edition Two, you’ll get 18 mpg combined. Close behind that 626-hp beast is also the V8-powered Range Rover Sport P530, which is good for 19 mpg combined. Opt for the P400 mild hybrid and you’ll get 22 mpg — the same as you’ll get with the P360. Hands-down, the efficient Range Rover Sport models are the P460 PHEV and P550 PHEV plug-in hybrids, which both get a combined MPGe rating of 53, along with 21 miles of all-electric range.

Iconic, Still

Exterior

Even after the complete redesign in 2023, the Range Rover Sport’s iconic profile and stance remain as identifiable as ever. The flush-mount side glass and door handles yield a sleek, refined appearance to complement the muscularity of the fenders and hood.

FAQs

Our Favorite Features And Tech

Favorite Features

Blistering SV Edition Two 
A sophisticated air suspension system, lightweight materials, enormous brakes, and massive power — everything about the SV Edition Two expands the envelope of an already high-bandwidth vehicle.
Stormer Handling Pack 
Don’t want to splash the cash for the top-spec SV, or perhaps you prefer the efficiency of the 6-cylinder or P460e PHEV? This $7,185 option gets you Dynamic Response Pro to improve handling and reduce body roll, an active differential, all-wheel steering, and more. It’s a significant performance upgrade without the cost of upgrading to a V8.
Terrain Response System 
Range Rover’s branded traction system is among the best in the business, with modes for everything from snow to sand to mud to rocks and beyond. Even with the low-profile tires and please-don’t-scratch-me paint, the Range Rover Sport is always ready for real off-road use.
Adaptive Off-Road Cruise Control 
This system controls off-road speed in the single digits, using sensors and cameras to allow the driver to keep their focus on line choice and obstacle avoidance. It maintains a constant pace even over rugged terrain.
Meridian audio 
The base Meridian sound system is good, and the upgrade Meridian 3D Surround Sound system (standard on Autobiography models) is even better. Still, the Meridian Signature Sound system is the best, available on all but the base model. This 29-speaker, 1,430-watt custom-engineered system is worth a listen — and the roughly $5,000 option price.
Towing package 
For just $1,200, any version of the Range Rover Sport can be outfitted with a towing package. Capabilities vary by powertrain, but properly configured, the Range Rover Sport can tow up to 7,716 lbs — enough for a small camper or a medium-sized boat.

A League of Its Own

Interior

At its best, when compared to anything short of a Bentley, a Maybach, or a Rolls-Royce, the Range Rover Sport is simply in another league. Its material quality and interior design are excellent even in the base model. Step up the range into Autobiography territory, and even the hyper-luxe alternatives take notice. This interior is the benchmark by which other SUV cabins are judged, even if cargo space and seating room are about average for the two-row midsize luxury SUV segment.

KBB Editors' Overview

Famous pro athletes, Hollywood stars, doctors, lawyers, and other wealthy, image-obsessed types have made the Range Rover Sport an icon of modern pop culture, but to be fair to the vehicle, it would deserve all of that attention even if it didn’t have one of the most famous and powerful owner bases in the world — it is, after all, exceptional to drive on-road or off, and quite satisfying to look at, too. No matter if you’re already part of that high-power set or just aspiring to be, it’s not so much a question of whether you’ll buy a Range Rover Sport, but rather a question of when.
As gorgeous and seemingly well-built as they are, however, Land Rover vehicles, including the Range Rover Sport, have a reputation for being high-maintenance.

Trims

Under the Hood

It’s easiest to think of the Range Rover Sport lineup in terms of its powertrains. There are two 6-cylinder models, two V8 models, and two plug-in hybrids. The base P360 SE and the P400 Dynamic SE share the mild-hybrid 3.0-liter 6-cylinder, rated at 355 and 395 hp, respectively. The two plug-in hybrids share a version of that same engine paired to an electric motor drive system that boosts power to 454 hp (P460e) or 542 hp (P550e). The P530 is the entry point to the 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V8 range, with 523 hp. At the top sits the SV Edition Two, with a 626-hp version of the same twin-turbo V8.
All versions of the Range Rover Sport use an 8-speed automatic transmission and come with standard all-wheel drive (AWD).
4-Year/50,000-Mile Warranty
The Range Rover Sport’s basic warranty is typical for the luxury segment, lasting for four years or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first. Powertrain coverage is the same.
Safety Ratings
Neither the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) nor the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has safety tested the Range Rover Sport. Standard safety equipment includes emergency brake assist, lane-keeping, 3D surround camera, front and rear parking assist, and more.

What's new for 2025

The Range Rover Sport rolls elegantly into the 2025 model year with three new derivatives, including the Dynamic SE P460e PHEV, the Dynamic SE P530, and the Autobiography P530. There have also been a handful of minor changes to package and equipment configurations.

2025Mercedes-Benz Mercedes-AMG G-Class

2025Mercedes-Benz Mercedes-AMG G-Class Archives - Kelley Blue Book

The 2025 Mercedes-Benz AMG G-Class is a performance luxury SUV that proves anything is possible with enough money and power.

The G 63 AMG corrals its considerable 577 hp to sprint from standing to 60 mph in a fleeting 4.2 seconds, which is simultaneously crazy and wonderful for a large and heavy SUV.
The AMG G 63 is the most engaging G-Class, and its standard adaptive suspension offers a broader range of comfort and sportiness than the non-AMG (which offers the adaptive suspension as an option — we recommend it). If absolute smoothness and serenity are high on the list of priorities, though, we’d say check out the plusher and more tranquil Range Rover.
Fuel Economy
Unbelievably, the 2025 Mercedes-AMG G 63 gets 1 mpg better gas mileage than the base non-AMG variant at 15 mpg combined. That’s not a particularly impressive figure, but it’s the reality of preposterously quick acceleration of a large, rectilinear shape through the atmosphere.
That’s a reality the competition must also face; the BMW X5 M returns the same 15 mpg as the G 63, and most of the rest of the segment is below 20 mpg combined, with less powerful models managing somewhat greater efficiency.

The iconic blocky outline of the G-Class hasn’t changed much since it was first introduced in Europe in 1979, and that’s just fine by us. The satisfying mechanical “ka-chunk” of the doors closing likewise remains the same.
The G 63 has 20-inch alloy wheels, side exhaust pipes, and a model-specific grille. The spare wheel is mounted on the rear door (instead of stowed underneath), maximizing ground clearance and departure angles when off-roading. And the door itself is hinged at the side — no heavy tailgate to lift.

Offroad Cockpit 
Accessed via the digital instrument screen, this system shows off-road-specific data like tire pressures, steering angle, elevation, and other details. It’s a great complement to the virtual transparent hood feature.
AMG Ride Control suspension 
Some buyers may want to maximize the off-road potential of their new G-Class luxury SUV. We’ve found that one way is to select the AMG Performance Package offered with the G 63 for about $4,400. It includes an off-road-optimized adaptive suspension.
Burmester audio 
This 18-speaker, 760-watt 3D surround sound audio system is standard equipment. To our ears, it’s a truly excellent system. Its drilled metal speaker grilles look pretty nice, too.
Guard 360 security system 
Another standard feature, this system keeps an eye on your vehicle while it’s parked, potentially detecting if it’s been damaged. It leverages the vehicle’s built-in Surround View cameras to monitor the whole exterior.
Extensive standard safety tech 
It might not be top-of-mind with a passion purchase like the AMG G 63, but having the latest in active safety technology onboard is reassuring when you’re all loaded up with family and friends. The G 63 comes with attention assist, active lane-keeping, dynamic cruise control, traffic sign assist, and much more.
Wireless charging &amp; phone integration 
Nothing says luxury like complete freedom from cables. Here, you can charge your phone, pair via NFC, and use both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto wirelessly, gloriously free of cord clutter.

Refined and luxurious without becoming impractical, the 2025 G 63’s cabin is inviting, fitted with leather upholstery, wood trim, heated front seats, and other luxuries. Running boards and a grab handle make it easier to climb up into the G 63.
Once inside, you’ll find fair space, with 39.5 inches of legroom in the second row and 37.4 cubic feet of cargo space behind the seats. Fold the second row, and that expands to 68.6 cubic feet — but it’s worth pointing out that the space is narrower than in some competitors. The Range Rover has more space in general, with up to 83.5 cubic feet of total cargo capacity.

A luxury SUV icon that’s as much a part of the culture as it is a built-for-purpose off-roader, the G-Class imposes its presence, and no variant of it more so than the AMG version, the Mercedes-AMG G 63. Brash, powerful, and ferociously quick, yet refined, comfortable, and surprisingly practical, the G 63 is perhaps AMG’s greatest finesse, transforming an erstwhile military transport into one of the most impressive luxury performance SUVs on the planet.
We’ve logged hundreds of hours driving and evaluating this generation of <a href="https://www.kbb.com/suv/best-luxury-full-size-suvs/">upper-tier luxury SUVs</a>, including the Mercedes-Benz G-Class.

The Mercedes-AMG G 63 starts at $187,250, including destination fees, which puts it in rarefied company alongside the most expensive variants of the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/porsche/cayenne/2025/">Porsche Cayenne</a>, <a href="https://www.kbb.com/lexus/lx/">Lexus LX 700h</a>, and <a href="https://www.kbb.com/bmw/x5-m/">BMW X5 M</a>, all of which are a bit more affordable than the G 63 AMG. The <a href="https://www.kbb.com/land-rover/range-rover/">Land Rover Range Rover</a> lineup covers the $180,000s and continues up beyond $230,000, and beyond that, there’s only the hyper-luxury <a href="https://www.kbb.com/bentley/bentayga/">Bentley Bentayga</a> and the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/rolls-royce/cullinan/">Rolls-Royce Cullinan</a>. In a way, then, the G 63 could be seen as a value option.

<ul>
<li>Fantastic power</li>
<li>Iconic style</li>
<li>Massive ability</li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li>Updated style</li>
<li>Upgraded equipment</li>
<li>Freshened tech</li>
</ul>

The 2025 AMG G 63 SUV offers a single engine: a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 paired with a 48-volt mild hybrid system. The total system output is 577 hp and 627 lb-ft of torque. A 9-speed automatic transmission routes power through permanent 4-wheel drive, and the G 63 comes with a 2-speed transfer case.
<h3>Warranty</h3>
The 2025 Mercedes-Benz AMG G 63 has a 4-year or 50,000-mile new vehicle warranty, whichever comes first. The powertrain is covered for the same term. Both are typical among luxury manufacturers.
<h3>Safety</h3>
The expensive and luxurious G-Class hasn’t been crash-tested by the usual agencies in the U.S., but our European counterparts in the Euro NCAP program rate the G-Class at five stars. The AMG G 63 comes standard with a host of safety equipment, including active brake assist, adaptive cruise control, driver attention assist, steering assist, lane-keep assist, and more.

What's new for

For 2025, the AMG G-Class gets an upgraded V8 engine with 48-volt mild hybrid system, updated MBUX infotainment, new Offroad Cockpit and virtual transparent hood features, and subtly revised exterior design including a new front bumper. New items on the options list include active rolls stabilization via AMG Active Ride Control suspension, four new wheel designs, and a range of custom paint and interior finishes.

BMW Archives - Kelley Blue Book

electric Archives - Kelley Blue Book

sedan

sedan Archives - Kelley Blue Book

The 2026 BMW i7 is an extremely effective and capable all-electric large luxury sedan with a maximum range of 314 miles.

Power, Ride, and Handling

The entry-level i7 eDrive50 has a single electric motor driving the rear wheels to the tune of 449 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque. The i7 xDrive60 enjoys 536 hp and 549 lb-ft of torque. The M70 xDrive comes with an awesome 650 hp and 748 lb-ft of torque &#8212; or a temporary 811 lb-ft when using M Sport Boost or Launch Control. These latter two variants have all-wheel drive as standard.
Given the size and weight of the BMW i7, it has some impressive acceleration (as long as you don’t mind range being curtailed), zipping from a standstill to 60 mph in 5.3 seconds, 4.5 seconds, or an “are you kidding us?” 3.5 seconds in the M70.
Such is the joy of electric motors. They play into BMW’s metaphorical hands by being able to generate a lot of power, yet do so almost silently, which is a perfect combination for a luxury vehicle. Acceleration is remarkably swift yet serene. Those driving talents are amplified in the 650-hp i7 M70 xDrive.
For competition, we’re looking at 4.2 seconds for the Mercedes-EQ EQS (with the super-expensive EQS 580 model), 3.0 seconds for the Lucid Air Grand Touring Performance. And supposedly 1.99 seconds for the Tesla Model S Plaid (not counting the first foot of rollout).
We’ve always contended that the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/bmw/7-series/">BMW 7 Series</a> (reviewed separately) is one of the most enjoyable large luxury sedans from the vantage point of the driver’s seat. Even though this closely related i7 electric sedan is big for the class and weighs about three tons, we still notice that same appeal. BMW has made the i7 feel a lot more agile than its specifications might imply. While still remaining supremely comfortable, of course.
We’ve absolutely loved driving this M70 variant, regardless of how much power we might or might not have used during our time behind the wheel. Every mile is a reminder of how good BMW is at tuning suspensions and calibrating accelerator response.
Not every day is spent gliding along the highway or breaking free of city limits, however. Which is where one-pedal driving &#8212; another attribute of electric vehicles &#8212; comes into its own. By setting brake regeneration to its maximum (easily done), the i7’s progress is controlled just by pressing on the accelerator or easing off. It’s only necessary to hit the brake pedal when a more urgent halt is needed.
<h3>Range and Charging</h3>
Wheel size impacts range; larger wheels usually reduce the distance. The i7 eDrive50 is estimated to run for up to 314 miles on a fully charged battery—that’s with 19-inch wheels. The i7 xDrive60 has a best figure of 311 miles. We said “usually” just now because the M70 xDrive is capable of 285 miles on 21-inch wheels or 268 miles with 20-inchers.
Compare all this with 367 miles for the Mercedes EQS 450 4Matic sedan, 410 miles for the Tesla Model S, and an impressive 512 miles for the Lucid Air.
Charging times among these contenders are close. The i7 can regain around 90 miles of range in 10 minutes when connected to a fast charger, similar to the EQS. Lucid and Tesla both say 200 miles is possible in 15 minutes for their cars (or even 12 minutes with the Lucid Air Grand Touring).

Imposing Exterior

Compared with other large luxury sedans, the BMW i7 is big. It’s about a foot longer than the Mercedes-EQ EQS Sedan and the Tesla Model S. However, the Model S remains the widest.
The i7 M70 xDrive comes with various aerodynamic additions, a lot of black touches, the option of an illuminated grille, Frozen matte finishes, and eight two-tone color combinations. One such combo is the Liquid Copper lower section with a Black Sapphire Metallic roof, hood, and trunk lid.
