2024 Range Rover Sport | Credit Where Credit is Due 

Do you realize that ordering these things new is at least 2 YEARS out? That's a loyal customer base for you.

I’m a big fan of the interior and exterior design. However if I became President my first order of business would be to ban piano black plastic.

Abominations is the right word for some of the things out of Germany recently.

This is the one car channel I watch even when I'm not at all interested in buying the model they're reviewing.

The most off-roading these things will do is when the Barrington Mom curbs it while texting in line at Starbucks. 😂

Got me thirsting for Jack's B58 interrupt request. Well played Mark, took it away as quickly as you teased AI Jack

Love this market. Can't buy a normal-ass hybrid like a Maverick/RAV4/Sienna/whatever without a year-long waitlist and a big dealer markup, but damn do you have a lot of choices if what you want is a $100k luxury SUV.

Glad you guys are finally reviewing something that isn’t the maxed out trim level.

The BMW chime at 12:52 For Jack B58 was priceless 😅

For those who didn't quite catch what he meant by 'GLR', he said 'JLR' and its a acronym for Jaguar-Land Rover.

Ok my initial reaction is for $85k as a base that’s insane, but it seems that thing comes with a lot of standard equipment. This is unlike the Germans who nickel and dime you with $50k in available options. So maybe it isn’t that bad after all. But gosh the cost of cars is going crazy… maybe I’m just getting too old.

I've always felt the reviews of the low to mid spec versions of any vehicle are the best ones to watch. The inherent goodness (or lack thereof) is apparent when you have the base engine, the base seats, the base suspension, etc. If all of that is good and you come away feeling like "wow, awesome ride!" then that means a lot more to me. Porsche is like that---base Macan is a joy to drive. BMW, maybe Alfa....not Audi though; for Audi you CANNOT ever bother with the FWD stuff with the base 2.0 engine. If this RR Sport is this good at the base level, then JLR has hit one out of the park.

I don’t give a rat’s ass about Range Rovers and I still watched this whole thing, that’s how good this channel is.

Aside from the fact that the Range Rover is in service instead of on the road, it's a great car to be seen in sitting in the service lounge waiting to get Range Rover back.

I got $78k "poverty spec" trim I guess that makes me poor. Thanks, Mark

I’m enjoying the review of a base model without options. It’s much more representative of how fundamentally good the vehicle is, especially given that most dealer inventories contain only moderately equipped cars.

Jack you two almost always talk about styling and you have very strong opinions on it. No need to act like you don't discuss you absolutely do at some point in your vids it comes out.

The new Sport is incredible. The ride quality is truly amazing.

I leased the previous gen of the RRS in 2020 after years of BMWs and Audis. At the beginning, I was skeptical and went along with it because my wife was excited about it. After 3 years, I ended up loving this thing and its been the best car I've owned...0 issues amazingly, solid build quality, great audio system, better steering/brake feel than current BMWs/Audis, very comfortable seats, looks great, practical, etc. Despite being a large SUV, it has the feel and dynamics of an old school BMW --think overgrown e39. Plus the local JLR dealer treats me way better than BMW ever did. At the end of the lease, I looked around and didn't find anything that I liked better. Dealers were (and still are) asking for ADMs on the new one so I decided to just buy out the lease and bide my time. But all roads are leading me straight back to another RRS. The Cayenne looks like a suppository, is less comfortable and is more expensive, the X5 is underwhelming with its overly assisted steering, uglified post facelift front-end and all touch screen climate controls and the Q7/8 just seem very outdated at this point. The Volvos also feel outdated at this point and I can't imagine spending 70k+ to get a 4 cylinder. I disagree on the base model RRS not being worth it. It comes with a bunch of stuff that is optional on an X5/Q7 so apples to apples its not as big a premium as you think (and all the extra stuff that come standard on the RRS like surround view, leather seats and adaptive cruise are stuff I would have to add to those cars anyway). Even the base model is still way better looking, more comfortable and just more enjoyable to drive than the German competition. I get that the ingenium is no B58, but I'd say its 90% as good (and way better than any of the VAG V6s used in Audis and Porsches). So yeah, I now understand why people continually go back to this brand even when they have issues....once you drive one its hard to go back to the Germans.

I like so much about this, the looks, the inline 6, the ZF trans, the interior. I could go on and on. BUUUTTTT we do long drives home on occasion, often at night through the desert, and this is when I want a vehicle that I pretty much know with not give me any issues. This is not that vehicle. I hope some day that reputation improves.

FC P0606 for the B58 failure had me lose it 😂. When you guys mentioned "irrational", I completely empathize with that. For a while now, something about the Range Rover and Range Rover Sport has hit the sweet spot of feeling good to drive, while also feeling premium and remaining completely capable. You know in the back of your head that something (usually the air suspension) will fail horribly, but they look and feel so good that you try to justify it anyway. Maybe that Volvo reference is more spot on than I realized at first....

I’m actually glad you got a chance to review the base trim. Get sofa king tired of seeing a vehicle start at $40k and then SG reviews the $65k TOTL variant. It’s like you tickle my balls and say here’s something you get only to slap my face and say Sike you can’t afford this.

Shocking that the infotainment is so much improved. I'm impressed.

JLR is propped up by a great supplier base who charge them a premium for their small volume which translates into crazy prices.. as long as they can keep the image up, fair enough… maybe I’m just jealous.

It's gonna break in 5 years? Seems like 3 years worth of optimism to me.

Apparently JLR executives celebrate when they’re not last last place in the JD power reliability rankings.

I had a 2016 diesel sport, only issue was ac compressor went out under warranty. Just got this exact 2024 in this gorgeous color and have to say the interior and ride quality are miles above the 16 (which i thought was amazing at the time). Also I think they knocked it out of the park with the redesign. Gorgeous.

The platform does look good in the shop segment, its nice to see all the little engineering and performance improvements they made there… too bad 99% of these wont see anything past a Whole Foods parking lot let alone any non paved surface

"this is the Barrington mom car" That is extremely fitting, I would say Schaumburg mom as well but that's just me

Damn, I like RR for their ride quality and interior feel. For example, Velar is probably the only SUV that I can just WALK inside, without bending or stepping up. But when I imagine the horror of driving to dealer at least once a month, POS infotainment (in Velar at least) and HUGE price drop after 2 or 3 years of ownership - it's just not worth it, even leasing it is not worth the hassle.

Ordered mine RR SE LWB 7 seater fully equipped (White Exterior, Black Shadow and fully black interior) and getting it delivered Dec 2023 or Jan 2024. Really excited to get it ASAP

Surprised they are running BMW's V8, they might as well run the B58 for the base engine. B58s for all!!!

All the German high performance SUVs are going 20-30% more than these "boutique" brands, and they are producing the shit out of them. At this price point, who would want those generic looking boats that show up at every corner... At least the British and Italian counterparts have character, and not a total abomination in design. Really hope Mark and Jack can review the F-Pace SVR before the 5.0L v8 goes away.

I still think it's crazy that this channel is sub 1mil subscribers. Doug Demuro used to be my favorite reviewer, that's changed. I love your videos and I look forward to each one you put out. Thanks guys!!!!! :)

The problem with many youtube car reviewers is that they don’t give a **** about reliability and they don’t even discuss that important issue with such huge investment in high priced cars.

Loving the 2018 Dodge Challenger R/T wheels

Hope y'all get that CX-90 with the inline 6 for review, I really hope that engine makes it way to smaller models.

It’s a shitbox. Drove a 2022 with 25k miles, and it rattled, struggled to get out of its own way, and the drive was no better than a 5 year old Tahoe. I don’t get it. I see why so many are being repossessed in my neighborhood. ;)

Jack hopes to see us soon; "no you won't". Now I am frightened for his safety. 15:37

The exterior and interior designs are soooo good now. The exterior looks like its been shaped out of a piece of billet steel.

Somewhere in Korea a Genesis designer is reverse engineering this thing to rebadge it as their 2026 model.

Yes! They dropped the AI skit. The fake out was actually really funny.

I enjoyed how Jack “speaks” to mark by breaking the third wall in a way. Knowing that mark mark is doing the editing and Jack is doing the speaking ofc.

Like the ingenious name more then a alphanumeric gibberish likely to soon be forgotten

A buddy had a Sport about two years ago. It was gorgeous! They spent more time in a 😮dinky little loaner than the Sport b/c of electrical gremlins. Wound up suing LR and the company bought the thing back.

12:51 As an E70 X5 owner thank you for providing me with the jumpscare

You may be the last people to do this vehicle....but you are the only ones I watched. Number three reporting for duty Sir!

Great vehicle to lease. Keep it under warranty 24/7/365

"This is a base model". Range Rover: That will be $85,000

Nice review but this is not a 2024 model, this is the 2023. They made major interior changes for 2024 and you're going to confuse people searching.

I own the P360 and have to disagree with the aspects related to it being "cheap" or the least desirable option. This one is easily the most bang for the buck AND give you EVERYTHING that's available in the next trim up at $7000 LESS ONLY ~40 horses and ~40lbft torque. If you think a 0.3 second reduction in time in an ultra smooth cruising SUV is worth it then hey, more power to you. Regarding the +30k engine option of the First Edition with the BMW engine, that's when you can about guarantee faults to come with that powertrain. Ultimately, I have a vehicle on the road that next to impossible to get as a result of the current market and it looks BEYOND amazing. The white interior as opposed to black seen here also adds to the opulence and esteem. The only other note I have as a point of correction is that the piano black is THE EXACT SAME through every trim of the vehicle.

Finally a review without the hideous dynamics package. The base bodywork looks so much better.

I can't wait to pick one of these up in 5 years with a broken air suspension and 15 fault codes.

It looks mint, and the drivetrains are finally competitive! I'm personally glad to see JLR stay relevant in the SUV market. They sell a unique experience that the Germans don't offer.

As a person who has owned many Volvos and has 2 currently, I find this SUV quite attractive. I have avoided JLR products in the past due to reliability issues.

A friend bought a fully loaded Land Rover Discovery 3.0 V6 TurboDiesel 5 years ago. Not only it didn't it break down once, but it's been faultless since the begining. The only underside it's the often break jobs, being a very heavy vehicle, and of course the fuel consumption.⛽️

Sending base spec shows confidence 👍

great vehicle to own for up to 14 months

JLR is the only manufacturer that employs a "Check Engine Light Not Functioning" light in their IP's.

Your reviews are good, but when it comes to SUVs, why don't you ever tell us how many Velveeta boxes we can fit in the back with the seats folded?

Hi Mark and Jack, can you also review the RR Velar please.. want to know your thoughts of that car

Great Points. If I had this level of funds for a luxo 2 row SUV, would pick this over a GLE or Q8 for sure.

That is NOT how a bottle is supposed to “fit” in the door card… 🥴🤦🏻‍♂️

Can't wait to see these in the Target parking lot or the Starbucks line.

It's comforting to know that my half-cocked gangster lean will be well-accommodated in the 2nd row!

Why did they spec the press car with a piano black interior? Also, why offer it at all?

Saw one of these being loaded up on a tow truck on the side of the road today lol

Jack, my compliments on doing a thoughtful job of defining tech terms like rear steer and I6 in the undercar segment for those who don't know them. It's obvious you took to heart that comment when you heard it in the AMA session. While I happened to know these bits, there will be others I don't, and the effort is appreciated.

They’re going to have to refresh and get wild because the bar has been pushed towards extremely ugly across the industry

Still priced with 20% market adjustments in Boston area. Very low inventory available.

Excellent review! I am on my second landrover product and I 100% agree with this recent. Very honest, and straight to the point! The sport is truly an incredible value especially with the P400 drivetrain. I love my P400 Defender!!!

JLR- Why did you give Jack & Mark the lowest end version to review? These guys are the best reviewers out there! Give them your best models to review.

FWIW, the last four JLR products I've owned (a 2015 RRS SVR, my wife's 2018 V8 RR, the 2020 Defender 110 she replaced it with, or the 2023 Defender 130 we've had for 6 months have been in the service department for anything but routine maintenance. Before that, sure, they were nightmares but they really haven't been the same since ditching the generations that were a hodgepodge of Ford, BMW, and other parts.

Please review the new GLC, my wife’s boyfriend is looking into leasing one

Nice crossover.

"a lot of these cars would be better and cheaper if you stripped out all the offroad capability" Nope. Thats why land rovers are land rovers. Its why they stand out from the rest of the generic luxury suvs. Because they can do everything the luxury SUVs can do, PLUS offroading. Its a shame you guys didnt do any offroad testing in this video because its really where Land rover's shine the most. Sure, the Range Rover/sport is less of an offroader than its predecessors now that the defender was brought in, but Land Rover prides themselves on ensuring every one of their products will have excellent offroad capability compared to their competitors in that class.

I would love to see your review on a properly optioned Range Rover Sport.

I recently picked up a new Defender on air suspension. The adaptive shocks had an issue like they were stuck on full hard. The dealer wanted 6 weeks before they could look at it, a brand new car! No loan cars available. Basically they weren't helpful at all in trying to sort it out. I sold it after only a few weeks. I've heard parts are a VERY long wait and in some cases Land Rover are telling customers they have NO ETA on some parts. Have accident? You might be off the road for 6 months+. Lovely cars but I'd avoid them big time if you want to DRIVE a Land Rover as your daily.

14:57-15:10 Sounds like a Lincoln Aviator to me 👍

12:51 I’ve heard that noise far too many times before, scared the living shit out of me

Lifelong Land Rover fan here and I dunno, the latest generation of LR products leave me pretty cold across the board. I find the new Range Rover (proper one) to be downright ugly somehow - despite it being theoretically beautiful and pretty inoffensive, it just looks off. And the Sport has always felt like a skim-milk version of the real RR, and these things just are too darn expensive to have any whiff of "the cheap one" - and I'm not even talking about the spec of the test car in this video. Any Sport, regardless of spec, feel like they just aren't the real deal - except maybe the SVR since that one has its own unique reason for being (and the real RR doesn't have an equivalent).

Are you guys going to be reviewing the Ineos Grenadier ?

Never thought a measuring tape of out nowhere would make me laugh! Guys are awesome 🤩

I haven't verified this but I have a feeling that the infotainment/tech improvement might have something to do with TATA's ownership of JLR. Tata consulting services might have partly or fully developed those systems.

I am guessing Jack has a BMW B85 engine broken down in his living room/den that he is personally rebuilding ....!!!!! And, I am also guessing that he dreams about the double Vanos system everynight...Another nice video guys from my favorite car reviewer channels...

the reason i like range rovers and landrovers,is the luxury combined with off road capability, when they work. If land rover was to ditch that, it would lose o alot of their character and clients i think.

RR Sports do not have terrible depreciation anymore. In 2014, my dad paid $63k for an SE model. In January 2020 he got $40k for it when trading it in for a new one.

That piano black is a deal breaker. What an awful choice of material for any car, let alone a luxury brand.

3:07 I saw “transaction machine”, on the screen and that sums it all up.

83k day one 8.3k day after warranty expires

Great stuff per usual. Any chance you'll get to review the 7-seat Range Rover? As someone who's never owned a RR, the common narrative seems to be that reliability is awful (across their product line). However, I've met owners who have actually had good reliability experiences, and say that poor reputation isn't accurate. Any RR owners out there who want to chime in?

That sun reflection on central display really blinds me with $$$$.)

Probably a nightmare for maintainance... Those Range Rovers are visiting the shoppe on a monthly basis when they get older. Correct me if I'm wrong!

East Indians in Canada love this. It will sell hot.

Does this come with floor to ceiling weathertech liners? I like my Starbucks but have an irregular colon.

Sadly all the physical knobs and buttons have been removed from the dashboards on ALL RR models.

Greetings from Kenya i appreciate your honesty

Hmm… should I spend 85k for a base LR Sport, or 42k for a fully loaded Mazda CX-5 Signature, for mall crawling?

Why does Jack always sound annoyed?

14:18 shoutout to my two bros!!
