Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the back seat may find themselves a little more cramped in the Land Rover Range Rover Sport than the Volkswagen Taos. The Volkswagen Taos 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 Volkswagen Taos, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Land Rover Range Rover Sport is much wider than the Volkswagen Taos, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. If you go with the Land Rover Range Rover Sport, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Volkswagen Taos.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Land Rover Range Rover Sport greatly out-muscles the Volkswagen Taos.

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 Volkswagen Taos.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Land Rover Range Rover Sport and the Volkswagen Taos.
