Range Rover Sport - put to the test - 4x4 at its best.

The new 2011 landrover range rover sport has been put through the paces in the country of Wales.  We decided to build a team and take these vehicles for a weekend of dirt muck and 4x4 expertise to see how good they actually perform on hills of the Brecon beacons.

John was the first out the team to test the new 4x4 special programmes that the range rover has to offer with its off road differential optional extra from land rover dealers. Firstly we need to add that the tyres were 20 inch scorpions that are recommended from the landrover dealer however they are not so much an off road tyre put more of a on road tyre for the highway. 

The Range Rover sport seemed to handle very well especially in ruts and muddy terrain  we used the 4.2 supercharged model and if anything seemed very over powering when hitting the slippery slopes.  The diesel model 3.6 V8 seemed perfect for the power to command ratio.

 Range rover sport was given a 7 out of 10 on the off-road experience.
