100,000 views! Owner's full review after 4500 KM: The 2023 Range Rover L460

The new Range Rover P510e is a formidable large luxury SUV. I have driven it over the last 2 ½ months and 4,500 KM - here is my honest in-depth review of it.
At first glance, you can tell that the P510e is a Range Rover, thanks to its iconic design and muscular yet elegant proportions. But what sets this model further apart is that it is a PHEV - a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle.
With 510 HP system output you are never short of power. As you step inside the cabin, you are greeted by a luxurious and sophisticated interior that is synonymous with the Range Rover brand. The premium materials and craftsmanship are evident everywhere, from the leather seats to the wood veneer trim.
This new 2023 Range Rover comes equipped with all the latest technology and plenty of advanced safety features. The P510e also comes as close to being an environmentally friendly option as a large PHEV comes - with a plug-in hybrid powertrain that can travel up to 113 KM on electric power alone.
Now, the elephant in the room is of course the questions of quality and reliability of the Range Rover - and yes, there were a couple of issues. See this video and see for yourself!
In conclusion, the 2023 Range Rover P510e is a great combination of practicality, power, luxury, and sustainability. It can handle any terrain while providing exceptional comfort and convenience for its occupants.

Finally a review from someone who has spent some time with the car. I've had the same Rage Rover at home for 2 months in Autobiography configuration. I have 5500 km on it. Incredibly specific car. I had the penultimate version of the Mercedes S before this car and the comfort is far superior. Great seats and wonderful smell of leather in the interior. Unfortunately technically as mentioned in the review it is weaker. Confused infotainment, it froze several times and only turning off the engine and locking the car helped. Completely unnecessary I got the screens for the back seats. They are large, unsightly and my son has banged his head on their sharp edges several times. And if you think you can play, for example, a movie recorded on a flash drive on them, there you are wrong. They only work through a connected phone via hdmi cable. I absolutely don't get it! One last thing, due to the comfortable seats in the back a completely small rear luggage compartment. If I may recommend avoid the infotainment in the rear seats and the comfort seat in the back. Completely impractical and unnecessarily expensive. As for rear seat space, another disappointment. When compared to the last GLE model where I can comfortably put my leg over. But I understand JLR also wants to sell an extended version of the range rover. But otherwise the car is GREAT. Thank you

[@morten_hannesbo]

Thx!

[@xu4799]

Range Rover without long wheel base is like an almost perfect paint but missing something. Got the SWB and always struggled with rear space cause when front seat in their comfort position, rear passenger will never get comfortable. Or I have to move my seat forward a bit for rear passenger! It’s nice to have the comfort seat option cause they are really comfortable as long as you’re in LWB model. It does take some trunk space compared to normal seats. Get the long wheel base will fixed every problems you have in the swb lol.

[@lukasnehnevajsa7640]

Yes, that's the only solution. Just hard to do when you already have a short version in your garage :) Unfortunately, the whole JLR concern has historically been bad at working with space. I had the same problem with the XJR. Huge car and minimal space in the back and trunk.

[@archilsekhniashvili9775]

I took a 2024 Range Rover Sport and it works perfectly; navigation; the electronics have never failed at all; nothing has failed anywhere; it’s already an updated version and it’s gorgeous; don’t even think about buying a car; it won’t compare to any car I’ve owned.

That's a quality review. Most channels with 1 hour usage and maybe not even that much are promoting the cars as another product in the supermarket. They can't event talk about negative things because they didn't use the cars. That's what I noticed when I watched the video, ne negative things no matter how smaller they are. I'll definitely subscribe to the channel. It's clearly a quality one. 👍

As an owner of a 2023 RR, and 2023 RRS, i absolutely love my fullsize with the 3.0 I6. This is coming from soneone who owned a 21 Lexus LX570 Sport. I have 15k miles on my RR and have loved every mile i have put on it. Issues i have had are low coolant light that has come on twice, and screws i have been picking up on my optional 23" tires. Also, the rear armrest latch doesn't work for which i have already received a letter from LR USA. Other than that extremely long OCIs which i am not a fan of...

[@Reko_89]

Great feedback as I will one day trade my 2023 Defender which I adore for a new full size! Good to know the in-line 6 which is also shared with the Defender performs well with the new full size!

Great video! I had to reconfigure my RRS P510e to the P550e. That's why I'm curious about the differences between the P510e and the P550e, which has a modified chassis and a more powerful electric motor, among other things. Perhaps towards the end of the year you can make this comparison and report on your experiences?

[@morten_hannesbo]

Will try to get hold on a P550e and compare. This being said, I doubt that the difference will be noticeable. In almost every aspect the P510e is outstanding.

[@ayoubyakoob7146]

I like his calm voice and informative review. I'm based in Canada and despite so many people driving around in range rovers here it has really bad reliability issues. A number of owners have experienced problems.

[@morten_hannesbo]

Thank you! I do not think that RangeRovers are any worse than other premium sedans or SUVs. I have had Porsche Taycan, Panamera, Audi A8, Cayenne, VW Touareg, Audi Q8 and Q7 and most of them had issues ranging from blown up engines to electronic bugs. The issue is that they have so much software, motors and electronics that something is bound to go wrong. This being said, our 100,000 KM Audi RS7 has been flawless so far.

[@ayoubyakoob7146]

@@morten_hannesbo thanks Morten. It's good to know. I do like the Range. I'm after a genuine 7 seater luxury SUV so it doesn't leave me with many options. Any recommendations on the Range Rover or other SUVs? Looking for one with lux and performance (but nothing too crazy , needs to be practical and fun 😁)

[@AN-wp8bg]

Great video Morten! Very objective and honest. Was this a loaner or was this your private car? Also I wanted to ask, which drivetrain would you recommend (knowing that electric/plug-in is not an option since we have no charging possibilities)? The diesel? The P400 MHEV? The V8? Thanks again.

[@morten_hannesbo]

Thx! Highly appreciated. It is my own car and I love it. I think the PHEV hits the sweet spot, at least for my usage driving 2x 35 km to work four times per week. I think the V8 is over the top and I highly recommend the diesels if these aren't ill seen in your country.

[@AN-wp8bg]

@@morten_hannesbo Thank you for your quick response! Don’t you think the diesels are too underpowered, especially with the weight of this car? I’m a purist a rather apprehensive when it comes to electrification…that’s why I thought more of either MHEV or full combustion engines.

[@morten_hannesbo]

@@AN-wp8bg I tried the D350 and it is excellent and very powerful. It is probably the most harmonious engine for this vehicle. But I wanted a PHEV so went for the P510e.

[@camilogomezkeep2324]

5:40 oh my! Look at the amount of finger prints. That would drive me nuts!! I love RRs (dream garage is an RR and a Vanquish S), but they are skewing away of their identity into just another fancy SUV bring back the chunky buttons found in the L322, the ones Jeremy Clarkson said are design to be used with gloves!

[@morten_hannesbo]

Well, yes, that is an issue. I have a microfiber cloth in the mid-console and I try to use voice control (which is not that good, unfortunately). Now, if greasy fingerprints aren't your thing, then for sure you should avoid these cars with big screens, but in particular the Mercedes Hyperscreen would drive you mad.

[@Coconut3A]

Great review. I also live in Switzerland, and I have never driven a large car like that. Since I'm thinking to buy it, can you give me a feedback about the dimensions, especially the width? I have some concerns that it might be too large to drive on some roads and it requires constants attention to not hit other upcoming cars. But I see so many range rovers around which give me confidence that its not a big deal in terms of dimensions. Also, how about underground parking, any difficulty to park and to drive inside of them? Thanks

[@morten_hannesbo]

Hi, don't worry about the size when driving on all but the very narrow mountain roads. It really only becomes a problem in tight parking spaces, but for that you have the 360° cameras and accurate parking sensors. But if you have to park in a tight spot everyday you may want something different. Consider this: the size of the Range Rover is similar to that of a VW Bus / Transporter, so thousands of drivers manage this size of car every day in towns. What you may experience is that the alloys will get a knock or a scratch at times, but that is repairable.

[@Coconut3A]

@@morten_hannesbo thank you for the feedback! I do not have to park in tight parking spots, so I'll definitely be alright. Amazing looking car by the way. I already booked a test drive. Anyway can't wait for the ev version to come, with at least 100 kw battery will offer good range. See you around in Schweiz!

[@Specproof]

Very pleasant presentation. I love the fact you talked about the financial status of the JLR. That said, comparing the Q7 to the full-size Range Rover is hilariously wrong. ( 19:43 ) You can easily compare the Q7 to the Range Rover Sport.

[@morten_hannesbo]

Hi, thx for your comment. The Audi Q8 would be the competitor of the RR Sport. I have had both Audi SQ7 and Q7 PHEV - it compares well to the Range Rover

[@pm6483]

What are your experiences in terms of fuel consumption on longer trips by the way?

[@morten_hannesbo]

8 liter/100 km on a 600 km trip and a full battery.

[@hagakuru]

I will probably pick-up one of these, and trade in my L405, in about 3 - 4 years after the facelift comes out thereby further depreciated the current model L460.

[@morten_hannesbo]

I love the L405 - my brother in law drives one with the V8 petrol. Yes, the depreciation is an issue, hopefully JLR will succeed with their quality and price positioning initiatives.

[@fi.ja.8657]

Wie ischs mit de Lademöglichkeite i de Stadt Zug?

[@morten_hannesbo]

In der Stadt selber eher schlecht. Der Range Rover PHEV lädt mit bis zu 50 kW - diese gibt es u.a. in Metalli, aber sonst muss man ein Paar Kilometer fahren, dann gibt es viele. Im Kt. Zug hat es nun mehr als 30 Orte who man mit mehr als 150 kW laden kann. Aber natürlich lädt man immer besser zu Hause, auch wenn nur mit 11 kW.

[@josephgittos3787]

Great review, I just love this car and most of the JLR ,I may be bias coming from the UK and owner of the evoque . I think the big RR are pure luxury and have a class look about them, I find the BMW front grills have just become ridiculous in size and shape and the Audi looks a bit boring. Like most modern cars running off computers I think you will always have some glitches and expect updates a bit like modern mobiles, even Tesla that have the best software system still need updates or added features, like I said modern cars are run by computers now and companies find out people would like a certain feature and then the company finds a way to do so and sends out updates. The only issue with Range Rovers is I would never ever buy a diesel now with all the def/ egr issues esp for the milage I do and probably find a lot of owners also doing short journeys, but saying that its probably just modern diesel thing with all DPF to satisfy the environmentalist

[@morten_hannesbo]

Yes, wonderful piece of kit!

[@philedwards7174]

I ve just bought the new Sport d350. Traded in a velar P300. Just had to go back to diesel, why? 25mpg versus 45mpg. Nothing wrong with new Euro 6 diesel engines, just take it for a spin now and again.

[@josephgittos3787]

@@philedwards7174 the problem I have with the evoque diesel is the it suffers from oil dilution caused by the ingenium engine and dpf location ( also discovery sports ) I dont think the big boy RR suffer as much, but I find the engine needs a service twice a year ( oil and oil filter ) due to the problem, I certainly dont mind once a year as once every 2 years seems daft.

[@philedwards7174]

@@josephgittos3787 yes, I have heard about this problem. I did have reassurance from my dealer that this issue has been resolved in the 2023 RR Sport 6 cylinder engines! Time will tell. At the moment with only 2,000 miles recorded all I can say is that the d350 is one of the very best engines I've ever driven.

[@gordonjohnston684]

If only they could improve the reliability, on a brilliant design. The other thing they could improve upon, is the front seats what I mean if the top of the seat (were your shoulder blades sit) There is a noticeable gap, look at the extended pillow coming out of the head rest! If the top 3 third of the seat could be adjusted to meet your shoulders.

[@morten_hannesbo]

Agree. Let us hope the L460 is the one...

[@Garcia061]

Agreed. Even the autobiography seats I couldn’t get comfortable. The staggered headrest 4 way movement is a weird design given the L405 AB waterfall seats are much more comfortable

[@abbra]

Hi. P460e or P530, and why?

[@morten_hannesbo]

It depends...., I'd still choose the plug-in hybrid because my daily driving distance is below 100 km and I mostly drive electric only. I can charge at home so it works perfectly. If you often drive more than 100 km and if you cannot charge at home, then the hybrid is probably not for you.

The climate control is based on capacitive buttons and is not that intuitive. the cilmate control does not have a soft, mild or intense setting (or havent found it) The car is way to big for its inside space. We drive the PHEV and alreadt got 2 flat tires offroad (with the 20 inch rims) OTA updates have nerfed the car , walk up to unlock has been removed. No option to temporarly disable rear steer, would be nice in real tight situations. The B pilar leather design insert is sensitve to damage from getting in and out.
