Automotive experts at TheCarConnection.com find very little commentary on the
2008 Land Rover Range Rover Sport's safety features or capabilities.

At the time of this writing, neither the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) nor the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) had conducted crash tests on the Land Rover Range Rover Sport.

Cars.com reports that standard safety features "include antilock brakes, side-impact airbags for the front seats, side curtain airbags, an electronic stability system with rollover mitigation technology, and front and rear parking sensors." In addition, the "rear seats have child-safety seat anchors."

Supercharged 2008 Land Rover Range Rover Sport models "can be equipped with adaptive cruise control that maintains a preset distance between the Range Rover Sport and a vehicle in front of it."

Cars.com notes "large windows and high seating position give the driver a commanding view of the road," but "the large 2008 Land Rover Range Rover Sport C-pillars, however, limit visibility."

Conclusion

The 2008 Land Rover Range Rover Sport has extensive safety features, but it hasn’t been crash-tested yet.
