Think XF to the XJ in Jaguar-speak, or the X5 to the X7 in BMW lingo. The confusing naming convention aside, there’s nothing confusing about the Range Rover Sport—this here is one desirable luxury SUV, undeniably comfortable and refined in every aspect.

The Jeep Renegade is My Vibrant Adventure Partner
