Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the back seat may find themselves a little more cramped in the Land Rover Range Rover Sport than the Toyota Highlander. The Toyota Highlander will be a hit with tall drivers and their front seat passengers, since it has greater front head- and legroom than the Land Rover Range Rover Sport.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The Land Rover Range Rover Sport will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Toyota Highlander, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Land Rover Range Rover Sport is much wider than the Toyota Highlander, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. When looking at overall length, the Land Rover Range Rover Sport takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Toyota Highlander.

Performance
When considering towing capacity, the Land Rover Range Rover Sport is clearly the choice over the Toyota Highlander for pulling heavy loads. When it comes to horsepower, the Land Rover Range Rover Sport greatly out-muscles the Toyota Highlander.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Land Rover Range Rover Sport does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Toyota Highlander.
