Among European luxury SUVs, the 2017 Land Rover Range Rover Sport and the 2017 BMW X5 are both elite standouts. Both models offer sophistication inside the cabin and out, which can make it hard to decide which one most closely suits your needs. Upon closer examination, though, the Land Rover SUV positions itself as the clear champion in several critical areas. See for yourself, and then make your way to your Bonita Springs area Land Rover dealership, Land Rover Fort Myers.
The 2017 Land Rover Range Rover Sport is a capable body-on-frame luxury SUV with full-time four-wheel drive and standard off-road performance features like All Terrain Progress Control, a low-speed, off-road cruise control setting, and a Terrain Response® system that lets you switch between different modes like General Driving, Grass/Gravel/Snow, Mud/Ruts, and Sand.
The 2017 BMW X5 is only offered with all-wheel drive, and while it delivers dynamic on-road driving dynamics, it doesn’t offer the kinds of sure-footed off-road prowess and features that you’ll find on the Land Rover Range Rover Sport.

Under the hood of the 2017 Land Rover Range Rover Sport, you’ll have a variety of different engine options to choose from, including a supercharged 3.0L V6 that makes 340 hp, a turbo-diesel V6 that makes 443 lb-ft of torque, and a supercharged 5.0L V8 that makes up to 550 hp and 502 lb-ft of torque.
The BMW X5 is also offered with a range of different engine options, although they’re not as powerful. The base engine is a turbocharged 3.0L six-cylinder engine that makes only 300 hp, followed by a turbo-diesel inline-four that tops out at 413 lb-ft of torque. The most powerful engine in the lineup is a 4.4L V8 that still falls short of the Land Rover V8 with 445 hp and 480 lb-ft of torque.

You should also know that the BMW X5 isn’t alone, as the Land Rover Range Rover Sport also beats out the likes of the Porsche Cayenne in both engine and off-road performance.
