2021 Range Rover Sport vs. 2021 Audi Q7: The Range Rover Sport Unleashes the Powertrains
March 29 2021,
The 2021 Range Rover Sport is a beautifully styled SUV that combines modern design with the recognizable DNA from Land Rover. The luxurious interior and advanced tech provide a layer of comfort over your choice of six incredible powertrains. Here, we compare the Range Rover Sport to the 2021 Audi Q7.
The 2021 Range Rover Sport has a very special diesel engine
This is no fluke—the RRS has a total of six available engines, including all-gas, hybrid and diesel. The Audi Q7 is limited to three powertrains, and that also includes the offering in the SQ7.
The Range Rover Sport begins the power lineup with a 3.0-litre diesel that delivers 254 horsepower and 443 lb-ft of torque that's perfect for towing recreational vehicles, managing trails, or everyday driving. With a fuel consumption rating of 10.7 / 8.3 L/100 km (city/highway), long trips are a breeze.
The Q7's entry powertrain is a 45 TFSI that consists of a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder that produces 248 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque. With a fuel consumption rating of 12.4 / 10.1 L/100 km, it is obvious that the Range Rover Sport delivers a better base powertrain.
The P360 engine is a 3.0-litre six-cylinder MHEV system that produces 355 hp and 365 lb-ft of torque. This adds more power than the Audi Q7's 55 TFSI engine, which peaks at 335 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque.
The Range Rover Sport also offers additional MHEV and PHEV engines in the lineup. Available with the HST, the P400 3.0-litre six-cylinder produces 395 hp and 406 lb-ft of torque. The 2.0-litre P400e PHEV system nets 398 horsepower and 472 lb-ft of torque.
The 2021 Range Rover Sport delivers more powertrain excellence
However, both the Range Rover Sport and Audi SQ7-level models feature top-end powertrains. Let's see who comes in first. The HSE Dynamic and Autobiography offer a 5.0-litre supercharged engine that produces 518 horsepower. Compared to the SQ7's 500 horsepower, the Range Rover Sport features more horsepower but less torque.
The Range Rover Sport SVR wins the horsepower competition with 575 horsepower. The SQ7 does have more torque, but the SVR's 75 horsepower makes the real difference.
