2026 Range Rover Sport SE: Solon Buyers Guide
Quick Answer: The 2026 Range Rover Sport SE
The 2026 Range Rover Sport SE starts at $83,700 MSRP (plus Land Rover's $1,850 destination charge) and is the entry point into the lineup — not a stripped one. Standard equipment includes 21-inch wheels, Windsor leather 20-way heated, ventilated, and memory front seats, the 13.1-inch Pivi Pro touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Terrain Response 2, and Dynamic Air Suspension. The engine is the P360, a 3.0-liter turbocharged mild-hybrid inline-six making 355 hp and 369 lb-ft, EPA-rated at 19 city / 26 highway. Every 2026 Range Rover Sport, SE included, comes standard all-wheel drive.
What "entry trim" actually means here
Land Rover's scope sheet for this model year lists a trim ahead of SE on some references — but the manufacturer's own current build-and-price tool shows no separate trim at that price point above SE. Treat SE as the true base 2026 Range Rover Sport; anything referencing an earlier-generation trim above it is either an outdated naming convention or a labeling artifact, not a real configuration you can order. What SE actually gets you: 20-way power front seats with heat, ventilation, and memory, a full Pivi Pro digital cabin, Terrain Response 2's driver-selectable off-road modes, and Dynamic Air Suspension — features that were mid-pack options on a lot of luxury SUVs a decade ago and now come standard here.
The powered single-piece tailgate is standard on SE (Autobiography and above step up to a gesture-activated version), and the wheel size — 21 inches standard — sets the tone for ride quality versus the larger, sportier wheel packages available on Dynamic SE and above. For a Northeast Ohio driver weighing pothole exposure against curb appeal, that's a real consideration worth discussing with the sales team before stepping up a trim purely for bigger wheels.
The P360: the engine most SE buyers will actually drive
SE ships standard with the P360, Land Rover's 3.0-liter turbocharged mild-hybrid inline-six, producing 355 hp and 369 lb-ft through an 8-speed automatic. EPA figures land at 19 city / 26 highway / 22 combined on premium fuel. It's not the quickest engine in the range — that's by design, since SE buyers tend to prioritize comfort and daily usability over outright acceleration — but it's the engine most 2026 Range Rover Sport owners on the road will actually be driving, and it's tuned to feel effortless well before you're near its limits.
Every SE comes standard all-wheel drive with Terrain Response 2, which matters more in this market than in most: a Sport running errands between Solon and Beachwood in January is going to see genuine snow and ice, not the occasional light dusting some regions get. Dynamic Air Suspension adjusts ride height automatically, which helps both on cleared highway lanes and on the rougher back roads around Hudson and Aurora once frost heaves show up each spring.
What Dynamic SE adds
Stepping up to Dynamic SE ($90,800 MSRP) layers on the Dynamic Exterior Pack, a twin-speed transfer box for genuine high/low-range off-road gearing, Adaptive Off-Road Cruise Control, and access to two additional engines — the more powerful P400 gas inline-six and the P460e plug-in hybrid. SE buyers who spend real time off-pavement, or who are seriously weighing the plug-in hybrid's 51-mile electric-only range, should cross-shop that page before finalizing a build.
What Solon buyers say
Land Rover Solon's Google reviews describe a sales process buyers repeatedly call low-pressure and thorough — the kind of experience that matters most on a base-trim purchase, where buyers are often comparing the Sport against other luxury SUVs rather than committing on brand loyalty alone. One reviewer, weighing a Lexus GX against the Range Rover Sport, wrote: "Steve C. showed me three different Range Rovers... I ended up loving the Range Rover Sport. We had a hand shake deal and the following day I traded in my vehicle and picked up the new Range Rover. Myron walked me through all the new features and set up my phone in no time." Another buyer described a similar low-pressure experience buying with Andrew: "They were knowledgeable, patient, and truly listened to what I was looking for. No pressure, just honest guidance and top-notch customer service."

Is the SE worth it over Dynamic SE?

Buyers planning serious off-road use or considering the plug-in hybrid should look at Dynamic SE instead.

Where can I test drive an SE in Solon?
Land Rover Solon, at 6137 Kruse Drive, keeps SE trims on the lot; sales hours run Monday and Thursday 9 a.m.-8 p.m., Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday 9 a.m.-6 p.m., and Saturday 9 a.m.-5 p.m.
The bottom line
SE is the trim to choose if you want the full 2026 Range Rover Sport experience — the cabin technology, the seating comfort, the all-weather composure — without paying for off-road hardware or a second engine choice most buyers won't use. It's a strong starting point for Solon-area buyers cross-shopping other luxury SUVs on price.
The $83,700 figure is a base MSRP only — it leaves out Land Rover's $1,850 destination charge, sales tax, title and registration costs, and dealer fees, which all get added before you sign. Power, torque, and fuel-economy figures reflect manufacturer or EPA data for this specific configuration and can shift with options selected. Trim content and availability move as the model year progresses, so verify current specs and pricing with Land Rover Solon before finalizing a deal.
