Michael SatterfieldIt is no secret that I am a big fan of the Range Rover brand, and the 2025 Range Rover Sport Autobiography offers everything you need in a luxury SUV. While the SV Edition Two might be the top of the option list, most drivers would be hard pressed to see how they are getting $62,000 more value in with the SV. Our test vehicle is draped in the captivating Firenze Red with black roof, trim, and wheels, making this vehicle is more than just a mode of transportation; it’s a statement of style, power, and sophistication.
Range Rover Sport Autobiography: Design & Aesthetics
The Firenze Red exterior exudes a sense of passion and dynamism, turning heads wherever it goes. The sleek lines, muscular stance, and signature Range Rover grille combine to create an imposing yet elegant presence on the road. Inside, the cabin is a sanctuary of luxury, featuring premium materials, meticulous craftsmanship, and state-of-the-art technology.
Performance: Go Ahead and Get the V8
Under the hood you should opt for the formidable 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine, delivering an exhilarating 523 horsepower and 553 lb-ft of torque. This powerhouse propels the Range Rover Sport Autobiography from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.5 seconds, ensuring that performance is never compromised. The 8-speed automatic transmission offers seamless gear changes, while the adaptive suspension system provides a smooth and controlled ride, whether cruising on the highway or navigating winding roads.
For those seeking a greener alternative without sacrificing performance, the plug-in hybrid (PHEV) version offers an impressive solution. Combining a 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six engine with an electric motor, the PHEV delivers a combined output of 434 horsepower. With an electric-only range of up to 51 miles, daily commutes can be accomplished emission-free. Charging is convenient, with the ability to reach 80% charge in under an hour using DC fast charging.
Range Rover Sport Autobiography: Interior Luxury & Comfort
Step inside, and you’re greeted by an environment that epitomizes luxury. The seats, upholstered in premium leather, offer heating, cooling, and massage functions, ensuring comfort in all conditions. Ambient lighting sets the mood, while the panoramic sunroof floods the cabin with natural light. Rear passengers are not forgotten, with ample legroom and individual climate controls enhancing the overall experience.
The centerpiece of the dashboard is the 13.1-inch curved touchscreen, powered by Land Rover’s latest Pivi Pro infotainment system. Features include navigation, smartphone integration, and a premium Meridian sound system that envelops the cabin in rich audio. However, the reliance on touch controls and the absence of physical buttons may present a learning curve for some users, particularly when adjusting settings on the move.
Safety is paramount, and the Range Rover Sport Autobiography is equipped with a suite of advanced features. These include adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring, and a 360-degree camera system, all designed to provide peace of mind on every journey.
Should You Buy A Range Rover Sport?
The 2025 Range Rover Sport Autobiography in the perfect blend of performance, luxury, and style. I would suggest you opt for the robust V8, but you wouldn’t be dissapointed in the everyday performance of the plug-in hybrid. With a Range Rove you’re guaranteed a driving experience that is both exhilarating and refined on road, with the confidence that should you need it, it is still a Land Rove off-road. While the infotainment system’s learning curve is a minor drawback, it pales in comparison to the vehicle’s overall luxury, comfort, and style. For those seeking a luxury SUV that doesn’t compromise, the Range Rover Sport Autobiography is an impeccable choice.
