2019/2020 Range Rover PHEV | Plug In Fit For A Queen

[@jgreen1071]

This channel needs to be soooo much bigger. Where else can you get this kind of detail, knowledge, and unbiased opinion? Than you Alex! 👏🏾👏🏾

[@afcgeo882]

LRJ has such a solid reputation for building reliable electronics... Why wouldn’t anyone want to buy their hybrids/EVs? 😂

[@LeoTheShortGuy]

Never get tired of panoramic moonroofs.

[@robertduklus6555]

at 72 db should get max B score

[@afcgeo882]

Robert Duklus The VW Atlas V6 was 2dB quieter!

[@fighter835]

Agreed. That's pathetic for a 100k+ luxury SUV.

[@drewcroft]

For the price at a max it should be a D.

[@cryptohouse1676]

People only buy these for the status, image and looks.

[@mikebagwell8229]

Well, they've done it. JLR has built the fastest- and worst-depreciating vehicle in history.

[@rightlanehog3151]

And that is saying something with a checkered history like theirs.

[@tattttu9]

Aren't you talking about Audi or BMW?

[@James-rd9mo]

My head is spinning after that Range Rover/Land Rover explanation 😄

[@stephenhendricks103]

Yeah, but if you replay it a couple of times and listen carefully it answers just about all one's questions if you're not a Land Rover fan.

[@davidk4682]

You’re awesome at all your videos. Just awesome information and details. Love them !!

[@jandersen6802]

I love that you list the rear seat headroom. So many cars have too little headroom for tall back seat passengers.

[@FemiAdebayo]

Brilliant! Well presented. Many thanks. I agree with you, at that price one might as well go for the V8

[@scott8919]

Right underneath this in my subscriptions list was Tyler Hoover's unburying of a Range Rover

[@stephenlane9168]

Nice reviews Alex I’m enjoying your videos from the UK and NZ - depend on which country I am in at the time of watching. Great work 👌

[@shehryar1091]

I'd appreciate if you also add in the description the time of when you're reviewing certain parts of the car

[@JG-bx2xg]

Excellent review. Starting to consider a hybrid for next vehicle, but my 373 mile trip has one top priority. NON STOP. THIS model asks the questions few with 100k in their hand will ask...oh yea, the wannabes will lease it....the interiors are still the best in the business short of Bentleys or Rolls

[@kylecronin3212]

6:07 Does the Range Rover have 14 miles of EV range (specs on the left) or 31 miles (verbal figure)?

[@wexpyke8560]

if you watch to the end, he says he got 25-30 all electric miles, and he drives over a mountain to get to work

[@taevvv9183]

May i ask, i was charging overnight and in the morning the car could not start it drained battery 12V as technician told me. And do you know how can i maintain without draining main battery?

[@nc3826]

Agreed it makes no sense unless you want to be able to drive it the HOV lane...Rivain R1S seems to make more sense.... and hope to see a comparison test when they start to sell them...

[@afcgeo882]

N C It makes sense in London, where PHEV gets you exempt from the congestion toll. That’s about it.

[@nc3826]

@@afcgeo882 Ironic, I just saw post of a London Cabbie trading in a PHEV for a BEV to avoid tolls and fees in London...

[@afcgeo882]

N C Not ironic. Starting in October 2021, only full EVs will be exempt. Cabbies own their cars for a long time, so it makes sense. RRs are leased, so this is the last year when it will make any sense to do so. You still get 2 years of no congestion charges if you buy one now.

[@nc3826]

@@afcgeo882it's the definition of "ironic", since the cabbie traded in a PHEV for a BEV...so rationalize it all you want it's still irony...and you forgot about the pollution charges anyway....BTW the cabbie was renting...

[@predoiuionut4921]

Because some of you have more knowledge in term of "hybrid ", please let me know: why was not use for this car an 3L V6 petrol engine + electric motor (charged by petrol engine also). This engines mix is already in use by an car model from Mitsubishi.

[@klausnielsen7102]

The only real competitor is the XC90 Excellence! Equipped like a Autobyagraphy (that you can’t get for this model) way faster and at another level when it comes to quality and relatability.

[@james2042]

Fit for a queen with the repair budget of a queen.

[@SwannBus]

Auto journalists successfully shifted Cadillac from a comfort oriented company to a performance company, how come they cannot shame JLR into building a reliable vehicle with decent electrics? Consumer reports consistently rates JLR and Volvo with poor marks but journalists love them....

[@JG-bx2xg]

4yrs and perfect for my 2016 RRS HSE Sport. I have heard or seen few at dealer witn ANY interior issues

[@hedydd2]

Land Rover-Range Rover. Marketing semantics. The parent brand is Tata [at the moment] and they have three brands with several models in each. They have LR, Jaguar, and RR. They only put the LR oval on the RR in recent years in order to give the brand some authentic off-road image and kudos. They don't give the Jaguar a LR oval even when its made on the very same production line as its RR sister model [thinking F-Pace and Velar]

[@shivampandya5322]

Where is this car available?

[@omelborpon3159]

If you purchase this vehicle after watching this review, it's all on you. Don't blame Alex!

[@Jaymac720]

I would love to lease one of these one day. Owning would probably bankrupt me without a CarMax unlimited mileage bumper to bumper warranty

[@alliejr]

Having your car repeatedly sit in a service bay, even for free, is not a good experience.

[@nc3826]

ppl that pay over 100K get a free loaner car and are not that worried about cost...

[@alliejr]

@@nc3826 I own and have owned expensive vehicles. Even the Toyota dealer will give you a loaner. That's not the issue. It's the inconvenience of going through the process in the first place. To me, at least, the trade-off is not worth it.

[@nc3826]

@@alliejr I hear what your saying.... but for example Tesla Model 3 is a hit even with poor the QC history of the company...so to each their own....

[@alliejr]

@@nc3826 Yes, absolutely. I really WANT to love the TM3, but with it's shoddy construction, it's a "pass" for me. But God bless Tesla for producing a hit. And God bless the owners if they love the car, despite its issues.

[@CaliforniaMISC]

25 mpg wtf?

[@cryptohouse1676]

The only point of this PHEV is to make the car cheaper to buy by avoiding the huge taxes some countries place on CO2, fuel consumption, etc.

[@jordanpadgett4658]

I don't really understand the comment that the fuel economy isn't much better than the V6. You said yourself that you used almost no fuel on your daily commute of 30 miles over a mountain. I would say that almost no fuel is pretty damn good fuel economy. I guess it's because on long road trips, if you use up the EV charge, you get 25MPH but is that what most people do on a daily basis? Super long road trips? I don't know anyone like that. In fact, I think most people only do that a few times per year. In addition, the normal driving mode is HYBRID, not pure EV or pure gas. In that case, I have heard that the fuel economy is around 70 mpg and lasts a very long time. It's too bad that you didn't use the truck in the way that most purchasers will use it. Sadly, I can't add my experience as mine hasn't arrived yet.

[@JBrumley32771]

Alex, I watch a lot of your videos. You just did the Honda Civics that was quieter than this Range Rover. 72 decibels for a luxury vehicle? AND you give it an A-??? The highest grade it should have gotten was a C. Do better!

[@떠벅]

Luxurious interior is very tempting. However, the clumsy infotainment system which is often frozen and miscellaneous malfunctions which is the identity of Landrover quality make people hesitate to buy.

[@kevinerickson2595]

I like my 2019 volt. I have my eye on a Tesla model x

[@afcgeo882]

[@directorjustin]

[@brianlee5649]

[@mustafabakir226]

RR p400e sucks!!! Read my nightmare with RR before buying one.New 2020 RR PHEV I bought 3 months ago from Official dealer in GA had orange engine light turned on when I came back home, still turned on after 3 times back to dealer service with changing different parts. Now has been at service 4th time for last month and they said that all this model cars in the world will be recalled for new hybride software that will be ready at the end of September 2020. 3 months after buying a new very expensive car, still stuck to service. Dealer said that JLR refused replacement because any car they replace will need the same software update all p400e models in the world will be recalled. JLR used my car as a lab to find a common defect but still not replaced or refunded.

[@kdog18ful]

Is it just me or should Land Rover ask ford to buy it back ? Then it gets the new RWD platform and a more or less reliable platform and a better tech & then they’d have access to all electric platforms ford has access to thanks to Volkswagen.

[@dchawk81]

"Fit for a queen" So you like it then, Alex? 😁 Yes, I couldn't help it. 😏

[@dancchang]

“The Range Rover will go all the way to a quarter million . . . .” Are you kidding me???? I had to listen to that 3 times to make sure I heard it right. I fear RR is not long for this world.

[@Transpower]

A 4-cylinder??? The Porsche Cayenne S e-Hybrid models all have ;6-cylinders!

[@predoiuionut4921]

Yes, but 3L engine V6 !

[@brianlee5649]

Yes, they're all 6 cylinders, even the new GTS.

[@radudeATL]

These things look so fly...

[@fighter835]

This thing makes absolutely no sense. It's an "off-road" SUV with no spare tire, crappy storage space and a small gas tank. That's a lot of compromises.

[@kevinW826]

fighter835 it makes sense for those who off-road a mall parking lot

[@swanblake]

I disagree strongly with Alex about looks over function. I want a functioning infotainment system over snappy looks. Lag drives me up a wall and very unpremium What a joke of a country gives someone buying a $95k luxury SUV, $7k?! That totally makes sense. They clearly are struggling for money....

I hate (HATE HATE) non-bespoke EVs and PHEVs. They're probably almost always compliance vehicles. I know all-new platforms are huge investments, but c'mon... as early as 2009 timeframe (10 years ago), it was clear that both regulation and consumer demand would trend toward EVs. An EV SUV is probably the easiest to engineer given you're already building a huge, heavy vehicle. Even lowly FCA was smart enough to engineer their new Pacifca minivan platform to be both ICE and PHEV without compromise. Kia (and Hyundai) did the same with the Niro model platform. Pass.

[@nc3826]

I hate (HATE HATE) the BS term compliance vehicle, since its just used to as weak minded excuse to rationalize why a vehicle should be hated without having to give good explanation why...

[@alliejr]

@@nc3826 Fair point. The fact that a vehicle exists to comply with regulation, in and of itself, is no sin. Rather, I dislike the compromises made (the "hack") to create an EV/PHEV from a design that never considered such a requirement. Cargo and/or seating compromises top that list.

[@nc3826]

@@alliejr I agree... my only point is it that it's not a "compliance vehicle" issue.... it's just a poorly designed...same thing happened in the past when convertibles were not suffencntly reinforced...

@UCFuyD8OgiuoJWhGJnlUm3uw GM made a profit on the Volt (shame it was a sedan)...And Hyundai shared platform will make profit soon too...and the Tesla X sucks due the the stupid door not that its AWD... generally an AWD EV makes sense, since its far simpler than an AWD ICEV... gmauthority.com/blog/2015/01/dont-worry-2016-chevrolet-volt-will-be-a-profitable-venture-for-gm/
