The verdict

Both are SUVs - a 3.0L 6-cylinder in the Land Rover Defender, a 4.4L 8-cylinder in the Land Rover Range Rover Sport. The Land Rover Range Rover Sport is the quicker car of the two - 530 HP against 400 HP, and 0-100 km/h in 4.5s against 6.1s. On the numbers this one goes the Land Rover Range Rover Sport's way - it leads on power, acceleration and top speed - and the Land Rover Defender answers on character rather than on the spec sheet.
