Former Q7 driver currently with the L494 Range Rover Sport - love the feel and look of the Range but absolutely hate the constant feeling that everything that goes wrong could cost an arm and a leg (or crankshaft) to fix. Summary - makes you feel wealthy while categorically ensuring that your family can never recover from the financial decision to buy one...
The quality of these videos are just something else. Looks really nice on a 4K QLED display, and some of the shots are just spectacularly beautiful. The background sceneries with the car as the focal point is just yoh, chef's kiss. Very well done!
This is the GOAT Review ever. May you please review a Drag Race style Comparison btween the Lambo Huracan STO VS Porche 911 GT3 RS. This Friday please.
Great video. Fantastic footage, well suited to the RR Sport. I recently purchased the D350 Autobiography, exactly the same interior which is such a refreshing change to black. The D350 is returning 45+mpg. Amazing car. Delighted with it.
Being a Range Rover owner (big body) no matter how nice it is , it really is an expensive mistress , no matter which Land Rover produce . They love to be fondled by men with dirty hands , yes they all have a codependant relationship with the workshop , at first , you just take it in and they sort it , after a while you get tired of it and realise the car has been cheating on you all the time .
"Im gonna survive"...yeah...when its working...when its not working,old isuzu pass thru you on the side of the road with your range rover waiting to be towed 😂
How the presenter didn't talk about those noisy wipers in a R2.5 mill car is beyond me but if indeed they do make so much noise I think that's unacceptable. Any car above R500 000 shouldn't have noisy wipers....
The Range Rover Sport 🥺🥺 I would sell my soul for it. The design is perfect, even better than the Germans, minimalist yet detailed and simple. ❤ I would definitely buy it besides the so called reliability image of Land Rover but it's like that ex you keep on going back to
Land Rover should make the off road stuff optional in all cars except the Defender and Discovery to reduce prices. The 1% who actually take these cars off road can option the stuff. I'm happy you didn't beat the reliability drum because Range Rovers are only unreliable to people who can't affords to maintain them properly.
Reducing prices isnt the point of the market this is pitched to. Its either you can afford it or you cant. Luxury brands dont have sales unless something has gone horrendously wrong.
British designer and made in the UK too. Imagine all those hard working Brits drinking tea and dunking biscuits while they make amazing Indian cars 😛🤣🤣
Good enough technology, great interior, enough power and off-road capabilities. Nice. But the picking up of the nose during acceleration and those small tail lights, a useless wireless charger and that huge screen that will have prints all over. Nah. I’d still buy it though.
For 2.4Mil, I would expect more. Useless phone holder, wireless charger holder not rubber. Besides, it will be worth R500k in 5 years... Used to be a fan...
@@Carscoza as a disco and land cruiser owner, it's the greatest thing. It's like braking your little toe. You don't know how much you use it until you can't.
The first SUV in the 2000s to introduce the "bully-ish gangster look??" I'm sorry but what about the 2nd generation of Cadillac Escalades? the G55 AMGs of way back then or better yet, the 2003 Hummer H2 that graced pretty much every chart-topping hip hop and Big Nuz music video??
How do you define "best?" To you, it may be a spec sheet, to Ciro, it may be its road manners, to Nicol, it may be efficiency. To me, it boils down to longevity, reliability, comfort, practicality and, essentially, total cost of ownership. You won't be able to test my criteria in anything less than a decade. As time needs to prove the product. The assumption that Japanese appliances are "better," falls flat in the face of case studies proven that those don't fare better in terms of reliability. Only deluded fanboys are so clouded by their own biases, that the can't discern facts from opinion. Best was my old Mercedes-Benz Diesel with OM616 engine. Sold at 768,000, no repairs ever needed. That's best, to me.
There are people who prefer to use the money to buy this car to buy assets instead and use the money they get monthly to pay for this car so when they are finished they still have money coming in at the end of the month👀
I'll never buy this car cash, you don't do such on a depreciating asset. Buy an asset that appreciates in value like property then use the monthly rental you recieve to pay for your car. Five years later you have a paid off car and you still have your property.
It is opulent ill give it that, the Chineese can do it cheaper but in a market like this, that point is moot. I cant help but thinking what on this car is going to break first, the aircon display screen? The sensor that controls the back axle? Im not saying this out of spite or stereotype, but 3rd hand experience. But again, unless youre financially suicidal you can afford those dramas.
It's not worth the money I'm afraid. Most SUVs have as much luxury as this with even more tech and are a fraction of the cost. Land Rover mark these cars up by 150% and sell them just because ofbthe name. Jaguar dropped its sedans (big mistake) and also only concentrates on models with shared platforms from Range Rover. Talk about skinning a sheep twice. I would never buy one of these because when they're 5 years old and depreciated close to where they should have been when sold new, they break. Air suspension issues, electronics noblonger working and massive maintenance bills on suspension, engine and tech. Blech 🤢
People who can actually afford this car dont really care about any of that. They care about the badge image, the back seat space and amenities and what is next from that brand in 2 the 5 years when they change it.
A good mix of good looking and chinsy design elements. Screams BEE and money pit. Never met a nice person who bought a new RR. Worst resale value you can get so makes a good used buy.
Thats the nature of luxury cars, their value drops like a stone off a 5 storey building. In 3 years the price of this will probably be on the border of sensible, but even then make sure its checked out properly because at that point thats when the electrical gremilins start showing themselves.
