First drive: New Range Rover Sport

James Bond star Daniel Craig drove it through New York at its launch, now James Baggott gets his chance behind the wheel of the new Range Rover Sport... in the equally glamorous Cotswolds.

What is it?

For years the Range Rover Sport has reigned supreme in the SUV market and now Land Rover is back at it again – with an all-new variety. The king is dead, long live the king! Lighter, faster and more capable than ever before, the new model is no longer based on the Discovery, but now takes its underpinnings from the full-fat Rangie. Design DNA has been taken from the incredibly popular Evoque and is mixed with the luxurious surroundings from the daddy of the line-up – it's a potent combination and we're in no doubt it'll be an absolute winner.
