Why not mentioning that this V8 engine is provided by BMW ? Which is an interesting bit of information as previous models had the JLR 5.0 supercharged

[@vindevhunta4905]

Love the new look..waiting for the SVR edition

My First Edition was delivered this week. My first Range Rover, traded in my superb Audi 2021 SQ7. Initial impressions: Audi- sportier, larger cargo, top quality and some other points better. Ranger Rover- a boat load of additional features, less piano black smudges, just a beautiful automobile, just thrilled to have my custom ordered Sport, no other V-8 anywhere to be found, wow the materials are Audi quality but + plus in many areas, the image factor is beyond belief in such a unique looking SUV, the Red is breathtaking with the ivory interior, BUT A real bummer, due to chip shortages no Fridge and no Acoustic Headrests! Was compensated for the shaft! Must say Ride, Performance, Quietness, Seats, Sheer Simplicity, and Smell are all Outstanding, just love this car!

The biggest issue with Range Rover is the consistency of the quality of its parts - on the outside and inside looks amazing - the keys always fall apart , parking cameras often fall out , under the skin it’s so easily stolen it’s beyond a joke . I just hope they sort out the cars security with the new one .

[@purwantiallan5089]

This car also has 14bhp less.

[@chillout1109]

[@markdance574]

@@Lindani_Mvano I don’t understand why the British Range Rover buying public aren’t organising a class action law suit over the poor security and design of these products. On top of that Iv no idea why the British public aren’t raising law suits against the police for a complete failure to ever investigate or go to meet victims of car crime - police in this country are a joke , the justice system does not work .

[@jeroendecorte9240]

Great review!

[@nejcribic]

These Range Rovers look so good on the road, but their long-term reliability really prooves they do not justify the price tag. There simply are too many cheaper alternatives, which do not hold the fancy status a RR brings. On the other hand, individuals who buy such car usually do not care for the cost of maintenance and frequently replace a few year old RR with a new one and avoid big material problems.

[@phil6298]

Do you even own one lol

[@VirtousStoic]

You didn't review the driving of the car, you only mentioned in dynamic mode ifs fun, and the steering feel is k for an suv (are you kidding me, thats like saying idk how this wheel feels, its like any other suv, its called understeer, oversteer, low engagement, dynamic or sport mode still doesnt make the wheel engaging and responsive or it does). The off road you didn't go over the tech specs of off roading, at least mention its ground clearance, if it has skid plate options, etc The driving u didn't go over 0-60, or actually explain it. Your review makes people want to go test drive the car because ur not talking about that. The comfort u didn't go over sound dampening in the interior This was an ad not a review I am so utterly sick of this presenter, Idk why she's on this channel. And if all these errors were caused by her writers Doesn't matter, as the presenter and car journalist based on her career history She should know better and tell them hey I want to discuss or add this I think it's good for the review Rory only Also all cars have android auto and Apple careplay except tesla. Thats not a feature, rory actually shows you how responsive infotainment is and shows u good features in it. You didn't. You honestly made this an ad😭

The reality is that it will break down, not the engine though, cos it's BMW but everything else will. It will be too expensive for what it is.
