2022 Range Rover vs 2010 Range Rover // Luxury Meets Liability 

As the addict/owner of multiple older Land Rovers/Range Rovers, this video couldn't be more spot on. The online forums are more of a support group..we sadly know what we're getting in to but can't stop. The good news is they depreciate as if they're falling out of an airplane..deals everywhere! :)

god PLEASE never change your humor, as well as your honesty and unbiased opinions in your reviews. love it.

My old man always used to tell me, "if you couldn't afford to buy it new, you probably can't afford to run it second hand." Good advice that I chose to ignore on a bunch of occasions

I bought a supercharged (400hp) L322, 2005 for £3995 from a private seller. Pristine condition, like new. Sure, it's old, but you still feel like the King of the Road and it is a magnificent car. Such a joy to drive. Last service only needed new brake pads. You just need to shop around for the best ones.

This is bordering on the perfect car review. Funny, completely factual, without bias and with talented commentary throughout. Thoroughly, throughly enjoyable from start to finsih. Well done fellas.

The interior of the older one is still magnificent, especially with the seat piping.

This video has the same vibe as that episode from The Grand Tour where Jeremy, James and Richard try and defend the Jags and say all the nice things about them despite failing miserably. Love your work guys !!!

These guys are living the life and I'm here to witness it. Love these longer more laid back and thorough videos.

I let out a laugh so loud with the “Michael Caine” joke 😂 These guys are great

Unfathomable that such high quality content is free. Thank You!

I have a Range Rover P38 (1995-2001), the last with a Rover V8 engine, and a body on frame setup. I've had it for nearly 3 years now, but had not put many miles on it because it's been busy collecting dust between different mechanics and shops, I still love the way it looks, but it's been a one way love thus far.

Love how laid back the reviews are, like two everyday car enthusiasts (most of us feel we fit in this category, so we can totally relate) having a chat about a car they’ve just acquired. Love your channel!

The 2010-2012 L322 is my favorite gen Range Rover. I just love the more boxy shape, and it still felt like a luxury utilitarian vehicle. The new ones just feel luxurious.

The L322 to get is the 2006-2009 model with the 4.2 that doesn't suffer from the timing chain guides issue. Mine is going to hit 300,000km soon.

I have a supercharge 5.0 2018 and it’s been nothing but wonderful. Loads of power and Lux. I did have an issue with the front right air bag but it’s been resolved and the car has been great ever since. Best all around suv you can purchase.

James had me dying when he said “you can’t notice the taillights until their lit; I have friends like that” 🤣🤣🤣🤣

My brother has a white Range Rover in his garage. With an engine on the side because the original engine blew. It looks great in the garage though, like a life size paperweight.

I’ve put over 100k miles on my 2010 Autobiography and still absolutely love it. Bought it in 2017 with 100k and just turned over 200k. So many features and comforts that people are still surprised existed back then. Digital gauge cluster, radar cruise control, blindspot monitoring, heated/cooled front and rear seats, reclining rear seats, 5 cameras, leather headliner, the list goes on. And it comes with classic Range Rover styling that was partially lost starting with the L405.

Your broken-down skit at the beginning got an immediate thumbs-up. THANK YOU GUYS.

I worked in Land Rover service for six years and I can definitely say. When they work , there’s no better:)

James is really cracking some good jokes in this one 😂

That checklist of things to look over before buying actually seems like solid advice no matter the vehicle. I look over most of those no matter what kind of vehicle I'm thinking of buying and keep a checklist of about a hundred things to check whenever I need to purchase or help someone purchase a vehicle. It takes at least an hour to examine one properly, unless it's new of course. Who wouldn't check things like the radio, steering, shift smoothness, seats, oil quality, and windows before buying a vehicle, whether a Land Rover, Ford, Toyota, or Holden? It's a big purchase, and it's good to know what works and what doesn't to help make a decision on whether or not it's worth buying. A lot of people will just assume "Oh, it's a Toyota/Honda, so everything must work because nothing goes wrong with them." Yes, I have actually heard people say that. One I know even went and bought a twelve-year-old Toyota 4Runner just because it ran so, therefore, it must be good because. . . Toyota, right? It died a horrible death on the side of the road a little over a year and many repairs later. He drives a fourteen-year-old Lincoln SUV now, and it's been much, much, much more reliable. Four years and hasn't broken anything yet, despite being used the same way.

this vid made me so happy because I have a 2010 hse and it has 176,000 miles and feels strong still. Considering I've raced it and been off-roading. Love yall.

I’m upset it ended. Then I realize it was a 30 minute video. You two give amazing commentary.

I'm a land rover mechanic and can confirm they blow up all the time, even the new ones have a lot of problems but they are nice when they are working.

You guys just keep getting funnier and funnier! Never thought I could be so entertained by car reviews but you’ve proved me wrong over and over. “I have friends like that” lol

Love how the first thing that shows up on old one when they turned it on after they talked about everything that could go wrong… “Service Required”

We need a 2022 BMW M3 vs 1990 BMW M3 E30 comparison. Let's make it happen! Great video as always Thomas and James

Top notch production, guys.... Truly a spiritual successor to TG, with excellent humor and fun thrown in. Keep it up, we'll keep watching ;)

My father has had 3 range rovers and I can confirm their unreliablity. Gone through head gaskets on 2, a transmissions, 2 sets of air suspension, 2 radiators

You guys are wild, your videos are unique in every way and your sarcasm is on other level. I started watching you guys since you had less than 78k subscribers, and look at you now with the 2 million subscribers. I hope you continue to succeed and surpass 10 million subscribers.

Just because a Tesla is expensive, it doesn’t make it a luxury vehicle.

I really loved this one. It was so calm and laid back. Kinda like watching two friends drive about discussing their new cars. The 30 minutes didn't even feel like 30 minutes. Great episode guys!

I have a 2008 Supercharged and they do live up to their reputations (and I'm told I have the best iteration of the bunch), but it's not worth enough money to get rid of for how well it drives. One thing I love about it besides all the physical controls is simply the leather on the steering wheel. There is something so nice about it. I did just have to put two new front air struts on and paid for Arnott units from FCP Euro at a third or less of the price of OEM units. And these they'll replace for free (not including labor) if they ever go wrong. Now to fix that coolant leak, power steering leak, sagging headliner, torn seats, scraped paint... yeah put a little money aside if you pick one of these up.

Ok I hate commenting on videos but here it is. I am genuinely entertained by you guys. I love watching car shows and has been a car review guy since I was a kid. Some of the jokes you guys make are hilarious and clever. Congratulations on reaching the level appropriately being entertaining while reviewing the car appropriately. I obviously cannot say you guys are close to Top Gear or any of the other TV shows because they have huge budgets but appropriately so you guys are just as entertaining.

I owned a 2012 SC Range Rover and it'll probably be the greatest vehicle I have or will ever own. Just watching this changes how my blood feels as I miss it deeply. If you know, you know. As I was reading when I purchases and other owners had their issues, they said how much it broke down n yada, but they would still do it all over again. The last of the true Range Rovers with it classic boxey recognisable design. Man, it was absolute love....although offroading this beast with 20 inch wheels...ehhh. lol I can't tell you how desperately I miss it. Long live the L322, it was the greatest they have or will ever make.

I went through all of these thought processes back in January when I was looking for my current daily (2010 Range Rover HSE). Looked at the forums, personally talked with people who owned them, and even test drove them. I also was cross-shopping 1997-2007 Lexus LX’s and GX’s and test drove those too. The Lexus’s were the safe but boring choice, and also had some higher wear and a lot of deferred maintenance. The Range Rover I ended up buying was newer, had much better materials and quality, drove and rode WAY better, and just felt special to a degree Toyota could never match. Seven months later and I’m still very happy with my purchase. It’s not perfect, and I have had to do some maintenance on it. But it’s not maintenance I wouldn’t do on any other car. Find a good indie shop and you’ll be fine.

As a 2002 P38 RR owner, this is spot on. You got to love it, because there will be a lot to fix. However my truck has over 225k miles and going strong (and not with the original engine...)

Considering the price of these cars, its weird to see at least 15 of them per day.

I had a lot of fun with the intro. Thank you guys for your classy work, hopa you will be keeping This format for a long time

I remember when the last gen RR (the one in between these two shown in the video) first came out, I went to see it at the car show in Toronto. As I sat in the SUV the first thing the sales told me, with such pride, is "It's all leather, 17 cows died for this car." Then went on to say the upholstery in the non-autobiography version is not leather, therefore only 14 cows. How times have changed!

I always love these episodes seeing the progression or stagnation and how in or out of touch brands are. One episode that should be done is Cayenne Turbo/s old vs new.

I have a Jag F-Type that's thankfully relatively reliable, and I have a shop that I go to for maintenance, a shop specifically working on British marques. Whenever I go, I always see a ton of Land Rovers, outnumbering any other car there 9 to 1. I ask the shop owner what's with the disparity, and he says, in his words, "These Land Rovers spend more time at my shop than in their owners' garages." He's just calling it as he saw it.

My 2011 LR2 was the best vehicle I’ve ever owned. 212,000 miles with minimal issues and plenty of off-road fun in the upper Midwest with my friends and their mud trucks. I cried when I totaled it hitting a deer at 70mph 😢

There is DEFINITELY “something wrong” with fake leather - it is PLASTIC!!! Unnecessary plastic must be avoided. Real leather can be environmentally friendly, plastic can’t.

Thomas and James are the perfect balance of humor and information and test drives.

These old vs new comparison videos are my favorite format that you do and what absolutely hooked me on your content. Love it!

Nicely balanced review chaps. I had a 4.4V8 diesel 2010 Range Rover for a couple of years and loved every minute of the 20k miles I did in it.

im not a huge range rover fan. I do like how they ride tho ( insert old man memes here ) drove my boss's 2019 one a year ago and it was amazing ride and comfort wise.

Love this review guys. I worked 12 years for the Land Rover company in Solihull and I always LOVED the RR. Thanks!!!

Great looking SUV! It's amazing how Land Rover has made an unreliable SUV so iconic.

My dad bought a 2022 evoque and I told him half jokingly that it’d be in the shop in a month. Three weeks later it had to go in for a suspension issue…

Epic opening 🤣 Range Rover drivers have never impressed me, and I’ve seen thousands of them over the years.

I bought a 1992 Range Rover, done 200k, for 3000 NZ dollars. ATM it's my daily driver. It puts a smile on my face. Every time I drive it!

I bought a 2010 Range Rover Sport, I’ve had it for Five (5) years now (2024) it’s been used Daily including with a few off road tours included, it’s travelled over 138000 KLM, it has been serviced regularly and has run faultlessly for all the time I’ve owned it, I’m now looking at a 2022 model Range Rover Sport,

That intro is so funny 😂👍👍

I have a 5.0 Supercharged L322. It has over 230km. It’s definitely British motoring at its finest, meaning it’s great when it works, but it’s not without its minor reliability issues. Also, I think the L322 in this video is not a real Autobiography Ultimate, just badges as such. It’s a fully optioned HSE. The Autobiography ultimate had leather headlining and teakwood trunk and leather door cards and it’s a very very very rare car.

Guys... Cammisa said on yesterday's Carmudgeon that he wants to bring you guys out to California to race Kei cars on a go-kart track. DO IT. Your viewers deserve that video.

I personally like the exterior look of the older model. It looks more rugged. I think the previous gen still looks like a good in between all this time later.

There’s just something about that older RR that just calls to me even knowing its reliability sucks, I really want one - somebody please make it stop 🥴😩

WITHOUT A DOUBT the single best car show out there on ANY platform. Keep up the good work guys - the time and effort into the production quality shows. Thank you!

The hardest part of a Land Rover is just keeping them running. It will either frustrate you or bankrupt you but as they age, you’re no longer going to have a pleasant experience.

I just hope somewhere in a land far far away...James, Richard and Jeremy see this video and nod in approval that the world of car enthusiast is in good hands for the next generation. (and maybe someday we are blessed with a crossover episode)

I owned an '07 Land Rover and it nearly nickel-and-dimed me to death, worst of was the "Three Amigos" engine failure. It was one single device that managed the ABS brakes,traction control and hill descent. Plus a dozen other little things. I swear I (eventually) put as much into keeping it running as I did buying it. Not to mention it was designed for a much smaller person.

2010s Range Rovers were at the peak of its design that stayed true to its original design heritage that I feel gets lost with the newer models and I think that's why so many people still want to take a chance at owning one. I loved the boxy utilitarian look of its profile that still maintains a certain prestige and elegance while the rounded version is just giving me vibes of a early 2000s Ford Expedition. Everything else about it is beautiful and the interior is stunning, I just really dislike that they decided to go this direction for the exterior.

Thomas fighting with the armrest was hilarious 🤣

15:49 More vehicles should come with double sun visors. My '09 Passat had them and I've missed having them in every vehicle I've had since.

Just need to say - my 2011 RR Sport has 160k miles and is going strong. Looks good next to the M2, as well, Thomas

My dad bought a 4.4 v8 range rover for 5k. Has so much technology and it actually is reliable.

Genuinely, the writing/dialogue on your videos is slicker and funnier than any other car reviewers - minimalist design to not stand-out to the lower classes is just hilarious!

Range Rover has really changed over the past years. New ones look dope! and yeah.. Great Video!

Here in Australia prices remain insanely high. I couldn't find a 2010 Rangie but a 2013 with 260,000kms is listed for A$80,000 which converts to over $70,000 Canadian. Parts and labour are also far more expensive here. Retained value on Australian cars are ridiculous when viewed against the global market.

My dad has always wanted a Range Rover. A few years back, when he turned 55, he was dead set on buying one. He had had a huge promotion at work, there were no big expenses coming, it was the right time to go out and buy one. We couldn't find one affordable enough. The prices are insane! And there were no units available either. When you got to their official website, they had like 3 actual used ones on sale, and that was about it. After that, he rented one on a trip, and he wasn't impressed. We started a business with the money instead.

I completely get Thomas..."I hate that I want one." I honestly like all the buttons. We just got a 2015 LX. Perfect plend off 1000s buttons, no turn dial, and some touch screen. But yes, old Rane interior for the win in my book.

Older RR had a “service now” indicator on dashboard….. these cars just need to be maintained properly to keep them sweet.

That Michael Cane joke was truly next level lmao.

I freaking LOVE the design in and out, front to back, side to side. Its PERFECT. But.... The rear turn signals had to be an afterthought...

I had a 2012 L322 ATB and those badges are definitely aftermarket, though still a nice vehicle. That tan interior is brutal though, but you can get those cheaper.

Just bought a 1012 Autobiography yesterday having listened to real wold experiences from log term users and having done well over 200,000 miles in contemporary Jags (last was the 4.2 supercharged V8 which has never had a single issue up to 170,000 miles on the engine) with no issues at all with regular maintenance - and that includes trips around the Nurburgring and Oulton Park (the last 2004 Jag needs new sills so I'm deciding what to do with it - the rest is as good as new - which still amazes me). This Range Rover looks pretty spectacular and I'm just expecting reasonably expensive maintenance as on any luxury/performance car ...so lets see how this goes. My real world experience means I'm relaxed and looking forward to not only only fun on the road, but using it as the world's largest lawnmower with a flail mower in my backyard ... luxury and mud plugging - that's what these are about ☺

I love James’ (from throttle house) Century. So far his V12 has been dead reliable.

Range Rovers are surprisingly robust! I seem them go through potholes and dirty car parks often at the hands of valets. I even saw one go over a curb at the organic foods collective!

Love the content keep it up!!!

Wouldn't it technically be the UK's 4th most luxurious SUV now that Aston Martin is producing one as well??

I really love this old generation RR, it's so subtle and elegant, timeless design. Yes, legendary unreliable, but still great car even now.

I want to buy a Range Rover so bad but the reviews on its reliability just turn me off 😭😭😭

Love the witty humor in the introduction😂 these guys are great

There’s a lot of similarities between this and the Cullinan, which raises the question: would it really be worth it to pay that extra $400,000?

Always great to see your comparison videos but I personally think that for this test, a better comparison would have been the earlier model of the generation that followed. Just to put into perspective as to whether you need this more refined version of the same shape. The newer one is similar to like iPhone 12 Pro compared to the 13 Pro. Both are similar looking but a few differences apart. Though the prices are way different. It is more like whether you want the yesteryear flagship or todays one.

dude the way he says Yeah after breaking down ,It cracks me up every time

“It’s a siren of a car” hahaha perfect! 👌

I have owned three Land Rovers and one Range Rover. Never experiencing a catastrophic failure. I currently own a 2011 Range Rover Supercharged, with Autobiography trim. I also have an 2013 LR4 HSE LUX, the last of the V8 Discovery’s. I think the Fifth Generation Range is truly an homage to the Third Gen L322. With respect to my Rover Experience, I have maintained both with proactive maintenance, always dealer serviced. There is no other SUV on the road that compares to Land Rover or Range Rover. The rugged elegance, paired with the crisp conservative lines make it a stand out wherever you go. There is a reason why Range Rover was exhibited in the Louvre in 1971. Every time you get behind the wheel, close the door and look out over the bonnet, you realize just how special these Rovers are. Looking forward to this next generation. No Rover is for the faint of heart, notwithstanding your financial ability, this is brand that requires respect and attention. Sadly many Rover owners fail to understand its history or appreciate its capability. Just because you have the means to buy one doesn’t, mean you should. If you don’t appreciate the craftsmanship that goes into a well pair of hand made shoes or a fine cut of a tailored wool suit and/or you are not willing to care and maintain such finishings, maybe you should think about another luxury SUV. Rover is not a Cadillac, or even a Mercedes. Rover is in a class all by itself. Fear not, Keep Calm and Rover On!

The easy solution is just to buy both so you have something to drive when the other is broken down

The intro was too complex for my brain but I actually like the old one more. It has more character, looks more solid (even if it´s the opposite) and feels more mechanical. I´d buy three old ones so that I´ll always have one in functioning condition.

FYI there is a sticker of the World War II emblem of the Polish Underground State and Armia Krajow on the L322's rear window - pretty cool!

I’ve had 4. None of them had any issues whatsoever. Maintenance is the key.

I have a 2011 full sized supercharged Range Rover and I'm loving the no problem life. Channels like these all ways try to poke holes in the Range Rover but, their is NO better off road vehicle.

The new 2022 Range Rover with its EV vibes makes it really adorable.

The interior of the old one blew me away. I thought it was the new one. I see why people buy these now

Iam on my 3rd R.R. 12, 15 and now 23....as with the 12 which I actually used for towing, 4x4 ing and anything else...I live where it snows heavily....My vehicles get used....and yet all 3 never had any issues other then a tailgate programming issue...a door seal adjustment and had one recall on the door handles on the 15....other then the simple yearly service I have only paid for tires brakes and wipers .... The 12 I had till i got the 15 and had the 15 till the 23....i am not the only one I know with similar experiences....

True story. I know a guy with a 2021 diesel Landrover Discovery. A warning light came up, he got it checked, they reassured him that everything is OK. A week later he took his family in that car for a skiing holiday from Ireland to France. The holiday cost him an extra €15,000 when the car broke down in France.
