As far as engine-transmission options are concerned, the Range Rover Sport is available with four engine options – a 3.0-litre turbo-diesel (258PS/600NM), 4.4-litre supercharged-diesel (340PS/740Nm), 3.0-litre supercharged V6 petrol (340PS/450Nm) and a 5.0-litre supercharged V8 petrol (525PS/625Nm). On the other hand, the Range Rover is also available with three out of those four engines. Only the 5.0-litre V8 is currently not on offer. However, it will eventually find its way in with the SVAutobiography variant. All engines come mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission as standard.

In India, the Maserati Levante, Mercedes-AMG GLS 63 and the Toyota Land Cruiser fall in the same price bracket as the Range Rovers.
