I have read about the reliability issues but my personal experience has been exactly the opposite. My 2013 Range Rover sport has 113,000 miles and shows no signs of giving up anytime soon. All i have had to do is routine maintenance (oil, brakes, tires). This is the best vehicle I have ever had and i have had more than I care to admit
The 2013 model year Range Rover Sport actually has favorable reviews. My personal experience with LR hasn't been as great when I bought a low mileage 2015 LR2 that was dealer owned/maintained and within just a couple of thousand miles the turbo failed on the highway. Luckily it was under warranty still but it was a pain in the ass at the time.
Sadly, we in the U.S. cannot even purchase the incredible G wagon in the G350d version! That particular model of the Mercedes "G" model is simply the best option in the diesel category of this class! However with the market in the states limited by the EPA anymore the range rover diesel is THE suv to have!
Bro, as expensive this vehicle may be, I’d definitely take this off road because off road capabilities and luxury features? Dude, what more could I possibly want?
Thank you for another great review! One thing though, from now on please treat all review vehicles as if they were aluminum bodied, and leave off the irksome, unsightly logo signage.
I'm not sure about the split tailgate design. I would think it would make it harder to reach things that are pushed towards the front, especially for shorter folks like me...
It looks glorious inside and out, but has the reliability and build quality of a 1960s Russian tractor. Mine was a rattle trap by 5000 miles and has spent multiple days in the shop. If you only care about how you look to others, rather than your own experience with the car, then go for it! But for $110,000 (more or less), there are so many superior options. If you want luxury, go for a loaded Lexus LS or reasonably optioned A8 or 7 Series. You can even get a reasonably-optioned Mercedes S-Class for $110,000 which blows this thing away in terms of luxury and even reliability (which is saying something). For me, it's my first and last Land Rover.
Hi there, my name is Hameed from Cape Town South Africa n I have a 2018 Range Rover Autobiography 4.4SD V8 LWB and I go on Fishing Trips with it, drive on the Beach etc.
He's got plenty of Subs. But the car review Market is stacked. There's a lot of great car channels. And it doesn't require a ton of creativity. You just review cars. Granted Alex is one of the best.
I seen one of those a few months ago in parking lot and the driver was a woman good enough looking to be a supermodel. I thought that was quite a coincidence. But I figured she had a rich husband or something.
Nice looking SUV. I would ((( LEASE ))) one but I'll never ((( BUY ))) another LandRover again. You'll LIVE in the repair shop and your re$ale will take a serious dump after the factory warranties expire. If you want to purchase an SUV and want to insure longevity and high resale value, go with a Toyota Landcruiser, Lexus LX570 (even though they're ugly), 2019 Mercedes G-Wagon, or the Infiniti QX80 (newest body style).
Why would anyone buy a 50k+ SUV these days is beyond me. In fact, I no longer see reason to even buy any car again . So yes, lease only. But not this car - infotainment of it is infuriating. X5 has a much better infotainment. If someone wants to make a statement for 200k+ - there is Bentley Bentayga and RR Cullinan.
Seriously, they're not nearly as bad as what they were in the 90's and early 2000s. Reliability is still relatively poor, but it's not like the nightmares of the past.
My friend has a RR HSE 2015 with 30,000 miles. 10,000 each year and he never has any problem. Except for the fact that maintenance cost is ridiculous, everything else seems fine
I never owned a 1990s or 2000s edition, although riding in friends versions of that vintage, I can say my 2016 is certainly better. But that doesn't make it good or even acceptable by modern standards. I've owned dozens of cars from various manufacturers since the 1980s and this is, without a doubt, the WORST.
Highway range? If you want to get rid of the dirty emissions - get rid of all gasoline cars (nano-particulates, DNA-toxic carbohydrates), diesels (NOx), and battery-powered electrics (energy and battery production).
I suppose if one is able to afford one of these, then that person should have no problem taking it off road if they wanted. I mean, if they're wealthy enough to buy a dozen or more of these - and they have a helicopter to airlift them out of the wilderness when the rover breaks down.😊
My friend has a range rover and reminds me of a Ford. These things are overpriced and yet another status symbol for those crazy Kardashians. The dash on the new model is swanky but for all the expensive maintenance that it will need, and non reliable performance I'd look for something more practical and longer lasting. Just my two cents.
Why do people just assume these are unreliable from data from one person from 2008 but discard the hundreds of 2018’ owners like myself and family and friends
"The LX is more likely to be more reliable than the range rover." Likely? Are you kidding? Range Rover is trash in term of reliability. ON the other spectrum is Toyota quality. Why do you think Land Cruiser kill all Land Rover products from places like Africa, Austria, and Middle East a few decades ago? Alex, how did you determine that the range rover is more offroad capable than the LX (LC200)? I've seen tons of videos of LC200 go head to head with the LC79 with rear and front lockers. I think you are bedazzled by the Range Rover badge Alex.
great to haul mum from the estate to the airport and impress the peasants on the way. not worth the money over a Yukon Denali on my 16 mile dirt driveway and the Denali is easier to resell, people actually want them and oh yeah with the high tariff's taking hold buy American
Ford actually owned Land Rover group until few years ago (2000-2008). That is the main reason you will see similar design themes between something like Ford Explorer and Range rover. Of course, Ford explorer doesn't have the history of Range rover behind it so I guess Explorer has borrowed some design cues from Range Rover.
Ford owned Range Rover for a short period which is why Ford products and designs literally leaped into the present that you see today from them. Without the Land Rover procurement, Ford wouldn't be what they are today.
Why no off-road ??? If I can buy this car of course I can off-road and eventually repair : which is the problem ?? All is proportioned at the wallet : I can buy this car I can I can off road too ... ok they are some people that make big Loan to buy this car but this is another issue 😂😂😂
Not appreciated? Why? What does it do to you? He uses it as bragging when he has these vehicles for a week. It’s a way of advertising. Could he take them off before filming? Sure, but is it really that big a deal?
Yep I dislike it very much. It's an annoying distraction. I want to see what the vehicle looks like. It's a car review. He puts his sticker on then I can't really see the car. It comes across as cheap and reaching.
It’s a quarter of a million dollar car because you buy it for 108k and spend another 142k servicing it after warranty. Lol. Lexus LX570 > Range Rover all day
