2023 Land Rover Range Rover Sport Autobiography

This is a 2023 Range Rover Sport P400 Autobiography, the mild-hybrid straight-six petrol model that sits as the sensible-yet-quick middle of the range. The 3.0-litre unit makes 395 bhp and 550 lb-ft, enough for 0-60 mph in 5.4 seconds and a 150 mph top speed, with permanent four-wheel drive and an eight-speed automatic putting the power down.

This example has covered 32,962 miles and is finished in blue. The options list is short but visually significant: 23-inch 1075 Style diamond-turned wheels with a gloss dark grey contrast finish, plus privacy glass. Autobiography trim brings four-zone climate control, a Meridian 3D surround sound system and adaptive cruise control with steering assist.

It is a practical proposition as well as a quick one, with a large boot and a 3,500 kg towing capacity. For buyers who want genuine pace without stepping up to the V8 SV or the P530, the P400 is an easy-going all-rounder, although it is a luxury SUV first and a performance car second.
