About the 2015 Land Rover Range Rover Sport

The 2015 Land Rover Range Rover Sport is a suv that earns a Carivo score of 6.7/10 — rated Good. Its strongest dimension is Technology at 8.5/10, while Value at 4.9/10 is where it trails the competition most noticeably. It's a capable but unexceptional suv — stronger alternatives exist if you're willing to shop the segment carefully.

Reliability and safety are the two dimensions that matter most for long-term ownership costs. At 4.9/10 for reliability, this suv trails its segment. That doesn't rule it out, but go in with eyes open on running costs. Safety lands at 7.9/10 — solid, though some rivals offer more advanced driver-assist features as standard. Confirm official results for your trim at nhtsa.gov/ratings.

Few rivals match it for performance: 8.0/10. Expect handling and power delivery that make this one of the more entertaining suvs to actually drive. On technology it rates 8.5/10: a modern, well-integrated suite that compares favorably with anything at this price point.

Priced from $62,086–$73,835, 12 MPG, seating 5, the Land Rover Range Rover Sport sits in the premium tier of the suv category. The value score of 4.9/10 is a red flag — comparable alternatives offer meaningfully more for the same outlay. Shop the segment before deciding. At 11 years old, resale value, parts availability, and whether a successor model has improved on its weak points are all worth investigating before committing.

Verdict: The 2015 Land Rover Range Rover Sport sits in the middle of the field. Until its reliability and value scores improve, stronger options exist at this price. Worth a look if it fits a specific need; otherwise use our compare tool against the segment leaders first.
