Is the 2023 Range Rover Sport a BETTER performance luxury SUV than a BMW X5 M?

The Range Rover Sport is ALL NEW for 2023 and the P530 is bringing a power packed punch. Under the hood is a 4.4L twin-turbo V8 that is mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission. On the outside you will discover the new look, 23in wheels and quad-tip exhaust. On the inside you will be greeted by high end materials, 11in infotainment screen and 13in digital gauge cluster.

[@johnparsons1466]

A very visually appealing vehicle. I love the interior and exterior colors. It's classy and will definitely turn some heads. Prices are getting crazy for sure and the reliability question would cause me to balk, even if money wasn't any concern, because of the sheer hassle.

[@12325814]

I have the RRS MY 2019 from new. Currently at 112.000 kms - AND NOT A SINGLE ISSUE. I just follow the service calendar and the only extraordinary thing was replacement of front suspension stabilizer bars (is that the correct name for it?) at 105.000 kms. That's basically it. At least TO ME - the rumours regarding RRS reliability issues are kind of urban legends. (But respectfully, YMMV)👍

[@johnparsons1466]

@@12325814 It's reassuring to hear from someone who's had a good experience with this beautiful vehicle. Consumer Reports gives the 2023 RRS an 81 score on the road test which is very good, but only a 2 out of 5 on predicted reliability which is below average. However, the customer satisfaction score was also very good at 4/5. I put a lot weight on the satisfaction score because that's what really matters after all. Taken all together it looks like the concerns probably are overblown as you suggest. Thanks for your reply!😊

You passed right by the classic RR front armrests that manually move up and down depending on the front driver & passenger’s preferred position. Also, no mention of the fridge in the center console! Another RR classic feature! Otherwise nice video!

[@CheesusSVT]

I've always loved the Range Rover... Never owned one. But always wanted one of the older supercharged ones. 😄Aside from reliability issues of older models, these cars always had a lot going on under the hood, takes a bit more care to maintain them if you really love the platform. ❤Edit, just always a cool looking and performing vehicle... Just my opinion. Also really neat how it still looks like a Range Rover. Love that.

People keep talking about this reliability issue.... I've had my 2010 RR Sport since Nov 2009 and outside of regular once a year oil change, it rarely goes in the shop. I've changed the brakes and battery once. Something with the ac boiler pump or whatever they call it cracked. That cost me about $900, otherwise I've had to spend very little on maintenance. Waiting for them to work out the kinks in this new model and I'm getting another one next year. I've had a really good experience with my Range Rover Sport y'all!

[@sugadre123]

Yea its interesting how so many people complain and then one or two persons are like I have never had any problem.

[@patchesohoulihan9826]

People praise Lexus yet my 2023 RX500H F-sport was in the shop 5x before getting rid of it. Stuff falling off, rear doors needing to be slammed to stay shut and the biggest issue was the moon roof. Was hit in the head by these rubber pieces coming partially off. Would cause it to start to close and open right back up again. Last time I brought it in after it being fixed 2 days prior. They sent me a text stating 5 parts had to he ordered and it would take 3 visits for a combined 13 days to fix all the issues they found.
