2026 Land Rover Range Rover Sport: Solon Buyers Guide
Quick Answer: The 2026 Range Rover Sport at a Glance
The 2026 Range Rover Sport opens with the SE at $83,700 MSRP, steps up through Dynamic SE at $90,800 and Autobiography at $120,900, and tops out with the three-way SV family — SV, SV Black, and SV Carbon — starting at $152,000, all before Land Rover's $1,850 destination charge. Five engines cover that range: a 355-hp mild-hybrid inline-six standard on SE, a 395-hp version of the same six on Dynamic SE, a plug-in hybrid rated for 51 miles of electric-only driving, a 523-hp twin-turbo V8 standard on Autobiography, and a specially tuned 626-hp V8 exclusive to the SV family. Every trim ships standard all-wheel drive with Terrain Response 2. Land Rover Solon, at 6137 Kruse Drive, has carried the Range Rover Sport since this dealership opened its doors in 1991 and holds a 4.62-star average across its Google reviews.
A Northeast Ohio dealership built around this exact kind of vehicle
Solon sits east of Cleveland along the I-480/I-271 corridor, close enough to Hudson, Beachwood, Aurora, and Akron that Land Rover Solon effectively covers the whole eastern half of Greater Cleveland from one address. The dealership has done it since 1991, which matters more than it sounds like it should on a model line this mechanically complicated — five engines, four buyer-facing trim families, and enough option permutations that shopping this car well means talking to people who've been doing it for decades, not months. It's also a Jaguar retailer at the same Kruse Drive location, which shows up in the reviews as much as the badge on the building does.
The Range Rover Sport itself sits in an interesting spot for this market: more overtly athletic and road-focused than the standard Range Rover above it, more luxurious and more powerful than the Velar below it, and engineered with genuine off-road hardware — Terrain Response 2, Wade Sensing, twin-speed transfer boxes on several trims — that a lot of buyers in Northeast Ohio will actually put to use come the first heavy lake-effect snow off Erie. Sales hours run Monday and Thursday 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Saturday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.; closed Sunday.
Five engines, one decision that actually matters
Land Rover doesn't simplify the powertrain choice, and on a car this flexible that's arguably the right call. The P360 (355 hp, 369 lb-ft) is the standard engine on SE and the one most buyers will drive day to day: EPA-rated at 19 city / 26 highway, an 8-speed automatic, and a 0-60 time in the high fives. Move to Dynamic SE and the P400 version of the same inline-six climbs to 395 hp; that trim also opens the door to the P460e plug-in hybrid, pairing a 3.0-liter six with a 160-kW electric motor for roughly 454 combined horsepower and 51 miles of EPA-estimated electric-only range — enough for a Solon-to-downtown-Cleveland commute to run on electrons alone most days, gas engine held in reserve for the Akron or Hudson trip.
Above that sits the P530, a 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 making 523 hp and 553 lb-ft, standard on Autobiography and optional further down the range. Land Rover's own figures put the Range Rover Sport's version of this engine at 4.3 seconds to 60 — genuinely quick for a five-seat SUV north of 5,000 pounds. Then there's SV: a specially tuned edition of that same V8 architecture pushed to 626 hp and 553 lb-ft (590 with launch control engaged), the most power Land Rover has ever put in a production Range Rover, good for 3.6 seconds to 60 and a claimed 180-mph top speed on the Black and Carbon editions with the right options. All five engines send power to all four wheels; nothing in this range comes in anything but AWD, which is worth remembering the first time a February snow squall rolls off the lake.

What buyers say after they take delivery
Land Rover Solon's public Google reviews mentioning the Range Rover Sport specifically run heavily five-star, and buyers keep pointing at the same thing: a delivery process that doesn't feel like a car deal. One buyer, on a new 2025 Sport purchase: "I recently purchased a new 2025 Range Rover Sport at Land Rover Solon and couldn't be happier with the entire experience. The vehicle is everything I hoped for — luxurious, powerful, refined, and exceptionally well-built — but just as impressive was the service I received. My sales rep, Rick M., made the process smooth and stress-free from start to finish." Another buyer, choosing between a Lexus and a Range Rover Sport, wrote: "Steve C. showed me three different Range Rovers... 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." A third, on the service side of ownership: "My Range Rover Sport runs like a new vehicle," after a visit where "the mechanic Adam did a very thorough diagnostic and explained everything."
Owning one in Northeast Ohio
The ownership half of this decision lives on two other pages: the service & repair guide covers the factory maintenance rhythm and what a Cleveland-area winter actually does to a Range Rover Sport's suspension and brakes, and the pricing & leasing guide works through Ohio and Cuyahoga County taxes, registration, and how the lineup's five engines change the lease math.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a 2026 Range Rover Sport cost?
MSRPs run from $83,700 (SE) to $170,200 (SV Carbon), all excluding Land Rover's $1,850 destination charge, taxes, title, and dealer fees. The pricing guide breaks down every trim and adds Ohio's tax and registration math.
What are the trim levels on the 2026 Range Rover Sport?
Four buyer-facing tiers: SE, Dynamic SE, Autobiography, and the SV performance family, which itself splits into SV, SV Black, and SV Carbon. Land Rover also builds two limited runs for the model year — the Battersea Edition and 20th-anniversary Twenty Edition — that sit outside the standard catalog and aren't guaranteed dealer stock.
Is the SE the same as the old HSE trim?
Not the same badge, but the same role. Land Rover retired the HSE naming for this generation; SE is now the base 2026 trim, sitting where SE and HSE both used to sit in the previous lineup's hierarchy.
Is the 2026 Range Rover Sport a good car?
For buyers who want genuine luxury-SUV refinement without giving up real off-road engineering — twin-speed transfer cases on some trims, Terrain Response 2, Wade Sensing, Dynamic Air Suspension — it's one of the few vehicles in its price bracket that can back up the capability claims on its window sticker, not just the styling ones. That combination matters more in a market that sees real snow and real gravel roads than it does somewhere flat and dry year-round.
Where can I see the full lineup in Solon?
Land Rover Solon's showroom at 6137 Kruse Drive carries current Range Rover Sport stock by trim and engine; ask the sales team about current factory and dealer offers, which change monthly.
Four trims, one showroom
The guides below go deeper on each trim, but the short version holds: SE for buyers who want the badge and the bones without the options list, Dynamic SE for anyone weighing the plug-in hybrid seriously, Autobiography for V8 power with the full luxury spec sheet, and SV for buyers who've already decided 626 horsepower belongs in a vehicle this size. Land Rover Solon keeps the range on the floor a few minutes off I-480.
Every MSRP listed here is a base figure and does not include Land Rover's $1,850 destination charge, sales tax, title and registration costs, or dealer fees — all of that gets added at signing, and the dealership has final say on actual selling price. Horsepower, torque, acceleration, and fuel-economy numbers come from the manufacturer or EPA testing for each specific configuration and will shift with options; certain 0-60 and top-speed figures on the SV family depend on particular option packages, as noted where relevant. Trim availability and equipment can change as production continues through the model year, so check current specs and pricing directly with Land Rover Solon before you buy. Any customer quote appearing on this page is pulled verbatim from Land Rover Solon's public Google reviews.
