The Range Rover Sport has been through three generations since 2006, with engines ranging from diesel six-cylinders to plug-in hybrids and supercharged V8s. Like other Range Rovers it loses value quickly in its first years, so knowing exactly which version you have, and what a buyer will check, makes a real difference to the offer.
This page is specific to the Range Rover Sport. For the full-size Range Rover, the Velar and the full comparison of ways to sell, see the main Range Rover guide.

Which Range Rover Sport do you have?
First generation (L320)

Second generation (L494)
2014–2022Lighter aluminum construction, with V6, V8, diesel, mild-hybrid six-cylinder and plug-in hybrid versions over its run. It is the volume generation on the used market, so engine, mileage and history drive offers.
SVR

Third generation (L461)
2023–presentThe current truck, offered with mild-hybrid six-cylinders, a plug-in hybrid and a twin-turbo V8. Buyers check remaining warranty, options and software status.
SV

What Range Rover Sport buyers check first
- EngineV8 versions, especially the SVR and SV, draw the most enthusiast interest. Plug-in hybrids are also judged on the health of the battery and charging system.
- Air suspensionMost Range Rover Sports ride on air suspension, and buyers check for leaks, warning lights and a truck that sits level. Records of a past suspension repair help more than they hurt.
- Warranty and certified pre-ownedRemaining factory warranty or eligibility for Land Rover certified pre-owned matters a lot, because buyers know repairs on this truck can be costly.
- Service historyDealer or specialist records show the truck has been looked after. Gaps in history, especially on a V8, raise questions buyers will price in.
- Options and specPanoramic roof, upgraded audio, driver-assist packs and color all affect who wants the truck. A window sticker proves what was fitted.
Where to sell a Range Rover Sport
Third-generation and late second-generation trucks
A Land Rover dealer trade-in or a specialist buyer with nationwide enclosed pickup. Compare both offers. If you still owe money, see selling with a loan or lease.
SVR and SV
Enthusiast auctions such as Bring a Trailer and Cars & Bids, or a specialist buyer who focuses on performance models. Original, well-documented trucks do best.
First-generation and high-mile trucks
A specialist buyer or an enthusiast auction, where buyers expect age and judge the truck on its records. Dealers often price these at wholesale.

Common questions
How fast does a Range Rover Sport lose value?
iSeeCars says a new Range Rover Sport loses 32% of its value after 3 years, 59.7% after 5 and 81.3% after 10. Our Range Rover depreciation guide and depreciation calculator go deeper.
Can I sell my Range Rover Sport if I still owe money on it?
Yes. The buyer pays off your lender and you receive any difference, or pay it if you owe more than the offer. See selling with a loan or lease.
Should I fix an air suspension fault before selling?
Get a repair quote first. Buyers price a warning light at the worst case, so knowing the real cost lets you decide whether fixing it or disclosing it gets the better result.
Is an SVR easier to sell than a regular V8 Range Rover Sport?
Usually, to enthusiasts. Its own bodywork, seats and exhaust make it a distinct model, and clean, original examples draw the most interest.
