It's a stunning looking vehicle...especially when viewed from the Land Rover dealership waiting room as you watch it (again), in for warranty issues...
Thanks for actually doing a petrol only consumption test for 100km zero battery assistance. Nobody else (especially the manufacturer) discloses the true number. PHEV's remain a huge compromise on our journey to BEVs.
Petrol version: Cheap to buy but expensive to run; Electric version (I know this particular car doesn't have one): Expensive to buy but cheap to run; PHEV version: Expensive to buy, but maybe cheap to run only when its battery is not drought. When it comes to the maintenance cost, the BEV is a big win. Therefore, I always say that the PHEV is the one you pay extra for the so-called flexibility. If you can tolerate Toyota, go Toyota. If not, buy a mild hybrid or a BEV.
I know someone who bought Land Rover Discovery brand new, in less than 5 years the engine got totally busted , he's lucky the engine was replaced for free...dont touch this brand
These brands better lower their prices, I believe over the next few years there could be over 40 Chinese brands in Australia, the Chinese government have huge rebates in china for exports 🤔
Firstly great job on doing the scientific gruntwork for this review,thats alot of driving. On the car itself,yeah its overpriced decent fuel economy aside,but honestly the people that buy this wont see the price as a deterrent,that kind of concern isnt in thier tax bracket. However what would possibly be a deterrent to somone not blindingly with the brand is that these things are unrelaible. I had a former collegue with an Evoque and it embarrased her in numerous shopping malls and her workplace as well when the thing wouldnt start because of some electrical problem or another. she eventually got rid of it. One last thing,I do admire that this PHEV does what other electrified and electric vehicles dont do,give you a spare wheel,it just looks laughlybly simple ,but I know the myriad of reasons why it isnt ,but despite that Range Rover made it work,good on them,its still not worth six figures for that privlege though(honestly feel this thing is priced so high as to cover depreceation).
Thanks mate. Yeah, I understand if you don’t care much about pricing, then it will be a good buy. But the horror stories about reliability are a deterrent for sure.
These European car manufacturers are gonna be wiped from existence by the Chinese cars if they don't start lowering their price.. makes no sense to consider these anymore when the Chinese cars are putting all the same tech and safety features in.
Nope. Those who buy prestige brands are not buying Chinese brands. This will be the fall of the Japanese brands as they have their marketshare slowly eaten up by chinese brands. Some of my relatives who would only buy Toyota are now buying MG
There are people still buying these thinking that they are above some people. Thats why "LUXURY" brands exist knowing that they can suck the money from those snobs out there! Their cars just need a good looking shape and people will buy them!
