Range Rover Sport SUV review - Carbuyer / Mat Watson

[@Mangofresh2012]

7 years later and it’s still a desirable car

[@brandoncan]

Try 9

[@promisedaking]

@@brandoncan still is very!

[@edmirkore8913]

10 years later

[@deepeshranjan6496]

I got this. Almost 8 years now. No issues yet. it is reliable if serviced on time. And yeah have checked it off road. It is good and passes through anything

[@che0535]

Nearly a decade later, still a cool car, a cool presenting from young Mat.

[@DannyBaby1512]

This is actually my dream car

[@Remhuggins]

same 😂

[@andreadevetak4325]

Yessssssss.

[@greenqueenBIA]

DannyBaby1512 i wanna get he saying it isnt great

[@marcusskyfall]

@DannyBaby did you get one yet?

[@sadcat8968]

So did u get one :/

[@stephenlane9168]

I’ve never has any reliability issues with my range rovers. I’ve had them in NZ and UK. No issues. Just serviced them as scheduled. Love them, I stick with them now. So smooth to drive and a great ride on the air suspension and fantastic driving position. 👌I would highly recommend one 👌

[@joem3393]

Good for you, i hear one can’t listen to music for more than 10 min after switching off engine !

[@frankenscience3553]

Is the ride in the sport ok?

[@Alaatin61]

Check my channel for the 2014 BMW 2 Series M 135i and the 535i Luxury Line.

[@Harrbb5]

Can I just point out that because Land Rover and Jaguar is owned by Tata Motors it doesn't make it an Indian car. Tata Motors basically owns a larger share of the company. This means it gets to appoint the company's Board Of Directors and influence management of the company. But it doesn't make it Indian. The cars are designed, manufactured and headquartered in the UK. It is British!

[@asimalam1237]

I agree. It's a British car and a very good British car just like Jaguar.

[@bighands69]

The fiance and ownership of the company is clearly Indian. But the engineering and manufacturing is old British industry. I wish the rest of British industry was this successful and productive.

[@jeff1595]

@@idk-gq3lh yeah

[@Upthegicker]

Ha Ha, just heard manufacturing is being moved to India! so now what do you say?

[@MrAndreCoutinho]

This car has aged remarkably well, and it seems to be reliable, since it’s still very expensive in the used market.

[@MiyuruWeerarathna]

Very good review! I love the sports styling! Looks like a big Evoque!

[@brandona2519]

Faultless review! Matt just nails it! Found out and seem everything I felt I wanted to with the car from that 5min clip

[@thatBrianKimGuy]

very good and detail review.. I enjoy Matt's comments and agree with his view.. great job!!

[@areuswhite9670]

As a North American (Canada), I get a kick out of the British and Europeans calling these types of cars "huge" or "massive." Where I'm from, these are relatively modest sized vehicles. You guys should try getting into a Sierra, or a Yukon. You'd probably die of space.

[@2013branth]

Big cars in America would be suitably classified as small semi-trailers or minibuses in other places. Those things are bloody huge.

[@ryandever2355]

Areus White but UK roads are bendy and narrow . So you would die in a hummer or a Yukon from going into a car , a field or a ditch .lol

[@marke9036]

Areus White Would not pay more than a Hyandai for the fake pretending and "prestige". Would be scared to drive this vechicle. Pretending should NOT be rewarded. Not admiring, laughing ... ROFL

[@chelseaatkinson4905]

That interior 😍😍😍

[@user-iw3zo5gu3b]

knows it girl 😘

[@foyorama]

I live in Alaska and drive a 2013 Range Rover Sport, great in snow, dirt roads and overall ha been a great car

[@tor8483]

My dad lives in Nigeria and he is getting a 2019 Range Rover sport and my mum was looking at a 2015 one and although they look similar they are completely different

[@fuberlin1]

You are great mate. I realy enjoy every review you do with the light humour and spot on remarks :) Nice work!!

[@someoone9250]

I think this should be my first car. I like Range Rovers.

[@JaisenJames]

I like the new format. As always, thanks for an entertaining and informative review.

[@the-boring-car-guy]

I wish it had the interior and build quality of the q7 then it would be perfect

[@carbiify]

It may not be perfect, but Ill take this over any VW Porsche shitenne.

[@BoschExxcel]

The Sport is a brilliant car, my dad has had his for 15 months now and we love it, will be getting another next year....

[@carbiify]

BoschExxcel And the RR is a proven off road vehicle.

[@liquidmetaldream]

Porsche SUV's are extremely ugly

[@hialp_27]

@@liquidmetaldream yup I agree with you

[@jeff1595]

@@liquidmetaldream yes someone who agrees

[@VojtaVydra]

Nice reviews, love it!

[@mtaFTW]

well the difference in price from this to a normal one is huge, and not all people want a huge suv. this is for the people who think the evoque is too small and simply don't need/want it's big brother. this looks great imo.

[@IIIIALBYIIII]

in australia they cost $200,000

[@infiniteuniverse1757]

There go those oranges again :-P I appreciate your reviews, very consistent for comparing and keeping things in context.

[@solomonsomorin2981]

Mat awesome review! Not expected

[@sKiNgHSiNgHc]

Finally been waiting for this

[@MasticinaAkicta]

What a beast... i can see this car and Amsterdam go well together. No troubles parking this monster in one of the big dutch cities. No problem at all!

[@themontgomeryshow9136]

These videos are great. Wonderful ideas I really love this. I would live to be apart of these videos. Great stuff keep going guys.

[@Joe-eg7ml]

Have one, it is very great especially in the rainy/snowy weather that we are accustomed to here and occasionally goes off roading and also on the sand dunes of oregon! Its our family car! plus the auto terrain response is a great feature!

[@moizmalik657]

mat watson should be in top gear. Simply amazing.

[@Blu12929]

Just because it does not handle as well as a Porsche Cayenne does not mean it's not sporty at all. That's stupid, everyone knows the Cayenne is the best handling SUV.

[@kevinbarrett1362]

I just noticed the huge sunroof during the driving scene, What a cool addition to the new sport but..does that come standard in all the new models, Also what are the buttons and switches on the drivers door just below the window @ 3:50...

[@kevinbarrett1362]

Also Love the new Range Rover Sport, Beautiful machine...

[@MARKINAU8]

Honestly, I love it. It's true there is sth special about it. Really like the minimized buttons in comparison to Cayenne's very busy spaceship-like buttons. And my day-to-day X5 is nowhere luxurious to match with the English superior not to mention the off-road ability.

[@duaneadam]

What car was he reviewing? No paddle shifters, no dynamic mode. Try the supercharged version on a back road in dynamic road compared to a Cayenne S. I did, easy call to call with the R.R.

[@NassirSabri]

It is available as an option just like the Cayenne there is Cayenne S, there is Range Rover Sport Dynamic.

[@duaneadam]

Nassir Sabri Yes understood. Just saying that he's testing a watered down version of this car as the supercharged one in dynamic mode absolutely rocks. My experience is that it's a thrilling car to drive compared to the Cayenne S which is why there's now one in my garage.

[@BoschExxcel]

Strange it doesn't have paddle shifters, my dads HSE (same model as this) has them and we didn't pay extra for them. AFAIK they come standard, maybe it changed as this one looks like a pre production version.

[@ASPRINALARD]

Great review but I don't like the Evoque resemblance.

[@jesuslovesyou1]

This Matt is totally different from the one I started knowing in the past 2years But its great to know both of them :)

[@thomasmn66]

Not many car makers have great reliability records when you delve in to the details.

[@rorycalderwood6030]

It's so annoying how the rear door panel doesn't quite meet up with the rear wing panel.

[@KHGuitarFreak1988]

I would agree with you, but unfortunately, the market is still crazy over sporty SUVs, rather than a SUV that is extremely comfortable and quiet...

[@DANIELDD112]

Is it automatic or can u get it in automatic

[@milosilic23]

depends. This is a lot smoother, and has all the comodities of a new SUV. But i would always take the G65 because it looks like A BEAST!

[@whoischxse]

why doesn't the big range rover have three rows of seats i bet the leg room wouldn't be so terrible especially with the long wheel base model

[@X360mis]

No other SUV beta than A RANGE ROVER...

[@suhailsurajpal]

Reliability a big problem though. My air suspension fails about once every 5 months and need replacing. But it's definitely worth it

[@jeff1595]

@@suhailsurajpal what year do u own?

[@mieguistumas]

I really like this one, but I always find it difficult to understand Land Rover range of products. You have freelander, discovery, evoque, range rover sport and range rover - OK, they differ in size, but not so much, actually, so they are different of course, but it would be hard to decide witch one suits you best, if you are not after the "limo" range rover.

[@Mastakilla91]

If I had the money, I would buy it. It's an unseen combination of a limousine and offroad vehicle

[@hdidane00]

like the honest review especially from a british guy who does a review from a british car. i wonder if they fixed the reliability issues on the newer models and the other issues like the display resolution/responsiveness etc... but for now the porsche is on the top of my list.

[@TheDanielRabbit]

Yeah, that's a great idea! I know if I was running a car company I too would phase out one of the biggest sellers in the range...and I'm not sure where you got the idea from that Vogue owners use their's off road. It's supposedly something like 1 or 2 percent of them when surveyed actually did. And at the end of all that, a Vogue (which incidentally, I too would rather) costs A LOT more. The Sport has it's place and probably saved Land Rover. It deserves it's place.

[@CarWhiz22]

isn't this the 2014 model year Range Rover Sport?

[@MrVALENTIUS]

man his review of Opel Astra using candle is the best ever: I love that small girl, but that review was EPIC!

[@honest_wlodziu]

There is no Audi Q7 review on your channel. Please do this one too.

[@shubhromu]

The Sport was one of the best selling models for LR. Also, I don't think people who buy a Range Rover take them off-road either.

[@juandiegocarrionrios8373]

What car did you like more, Range rover sport or ford ranger raptor? What each of them made you fell? And what suspension did you like more? Thank you

[@duncantembo5320]

The Range Rover Sport is a beautiful but high performance car.Its appeal is timeless.

[@psumiz]

This still looks good! Even with the new model

[@Joe-eg7ml]

I agree it has something special to its competitors..idk and cant really point out what it is. maybe it has that history/pedigree or maybe its the only manufacturers that build these types of autos!

[@waeleb6106]

Is a true they have poor reliability rating?

[@herbie0408]

It is a tank, lol...I love how they take up a full parking bay, I park close to the drivers door when people park in shopping centers when I see big 4x4's..so the knob who brought it cannot get in. Not a city or suburban car folks.

[@c.s.1550]

The X5 looks much better IMO. Besides the looks, RRs have very low reliability. I was shocked to find out that one of the latest recalls involved the doors being unlatched. Driving like a royal and falling out of the vehicle... in style,

[@cryptopup]

This comment really cracked me up!

[@xhellmatex9109]

Sir Ken because its a lie

[@sonyab523]

X5 has no styling to it, bland.

[@aakeister]

hmmm, so, if the last range Rover Sport wasn't a range Rover as it was on the Discovery platform, does that mean the future Discovery and Defender based on the Range rover platform are Range Rovers then?

[@treacleeater54321]

How does the old one being based on a discovery make it not like a range rover?

[@mohamedhany9567]

Pls i want to watch a video for the Maserati Ghibli. I tried to see any details videos for it but couldnt and if there is all of it on Italian language. Thanks

[@Hoktew]

I have a 2005 lr3 V8 and I love it....

[@athan4australia]

Please review the bmw x5 2014. You guys will be the first to do it and get many hits

[@barryisaac4305]

Mat did this review of the range rover sport and bmw x5 the same day!. But the BMW X5 has more views. Is BMW popular than RR?.

[@KHGuitarFreak1988]

Guys at Carbuyer, keep your eyes peeled for next year's or the coming year's version. AFAIK, the Jaguar XF for 2014 will have a better HDD that is clearer and works faster. If a similar system is installed in the Range Rover Sport in the coming years, which I think they would, maybe you guys could do a quick review of it... XD

[@SpazzyWombat27]

Its way smaller then i thought. Looks like the big range rover is the best choice.

[@JustHitRecord_]

Im so confused as to why the optional 3rd row is in the sport and not in The bigger one which is like a 1 1/2 feet longer??!

[@honguenloh4612]

Beautiful….. mat was so young back then…..:)

[@jannissen9211]

I dont uderstand the screen being tilted up, it was so annoying on the older range rover, and they kept it?

[@geraintnewman4608]

Waited 18 months for my new RRS Autobiography, after owning the previous RRS. The old one had major build quality issues so I had high hopes for the new "improved" version. It's an amazing car, probably the best I've ever owned, but sadly it was same old when it comes to build quality. In the first 8 weeks of ownership I only had the car for 13 days. It had to go back to the factory twice and even now there's a constant stream of things going wrong. I'm fed to be honest, and feel conned by Land Rover. Do yourself a favour and buy a Cayenne.

[@bighands69]

The Cayenne is not as good off road as the Range Rover but it will last longer.

[@NassirSabri]

Geraint Newman Can you tell me what happened ?

[@123321gauri]

bighands69 the range rovers are not rather good off road. if you are buying them to go off rode you are not buying the right type of car. + i think the cayenne would surprise you.

[@ea9167]

+Geraint Newman I know so many people who own them, and have had cayennes, and all of them say the exact opposite as you...

[@007knick]

They are Matt tweeted about it. So it should be coming

[@doubletrouble8v]

Saw one today, it looks really cool ^^

[@f470]

Range Rover, the toughest SUV - ask your local biker.

[@kristas32]

The new Range Rover is nice, but I personally like the look of the 3rd gen better.

[@f470]

Krista MacDonald I like you in any generation *wink-wink* ... LOL! Yeah, this new look takes a while to acquire. I still think they are the best looking SUVs in the market.

[@kristas32]

Lol Rico Suave ;)

[@kristas32]

Oh yeah, talking about Range Rover lol. Yes, it is one of the nicest SUV's I'd say.

[@f470]

Krista MacDonald stay focus! So are you back from your vacay?

[@samc12345]

Are the high beams the oval section highlighted by the led daytime running lights? Are they xenon, or halogen, or led? I've seen them on in other videos and they look bright white so I think they're LEDs. If anyone knows for sure could you let me know?

[@indenglaith]

did you watch Richard Hammond's review of the RR Sport ? because he used the same introduction!!!

[@molariteit]

please Matt, do a review on the new G class

[@vsangappan1]

Hi, Are you gonna review the Freelander 2013?

[@xBuzz996]

do a review on the Audi Q7 will ya?! I've waited a year for it...

[@branot89]

G65 is seperb, but it costs almost 3 times more than range rover sport supercharged

[@BoschExxcel]

Love this car! Greg is obviously jealous that he can't afford this car. Can't wait for my dads to arrive!

[@Raytenk]

im really thinking of getting that third row... but since your saying its not worth it =/ im not sure!

[@flaziola]

How much for the remote control disappearing parcel shelf and self folding seats?

[@ryanthecontortionist]

This is nice but i prefer the longwheel base

[@safdarsafeer1]

its all down to what you prefer to drive

why is the smaller range rover sport gets a 3rd row seat when the bigger ranger rover doesn't?

[@moreshi6017]

Please review the Audi Q7 please!

[@alexblag18]

What is the difference between a Range Rover and a Land Rover exactly?

[@inspiretw]

Prefer brick looking types really.

[@DanteGonxhja]

No it's for people who wanna buy a Range Rover but cannot afford a Vogue. Why are people so ignorant, comparing it to the Vogue all the time? The Sport should be compared to the X5, Q7, ML and is way superior than all of them so why should it be phased out?

[@jeruelleapigo3642]

I think that is a combination of off road + sportiness= a rallyer

[@Unitedflyier]

V8 diesel? I didn't see that option on line.

[@abhijitpalkar9855]

My dream car....😎 British car's are awesome man

[@RC-yv9dz]

Im about to pull the trigger on buying one, but are they really unreliable?

[@BoschExxcel]

No, definitely not as bad as people think. My dad has had his 2014 Sport for 15 months and haven't had a single problem with it. It's a truly outstanding car and we will be getting another one next year.

[@Kburd-wr6dq]

If you have to say that you haven't had a problem YET that means you will have a problem considering they are known for being unreliable.

[@VV-cy9gf]

You have answered your own question - dont see the point, "its people who want the status who buy this". Thats exactly what it is meant for. Range rover has always been for those who seek to stand out.

[@SwPiotrek]

Fore sure is something special in Land Rover.
