Range Rover Sport V8 Supercharged (ENG) - Test Drive and Review

Range Rover Sport with a 510 hp, supercharged 5-litre V8 accelerates so quickly, that when I found a gap on a round about I had to step on the brakes, so as not to go around twice. A couple of year ago I drove a V8 diesel Range Rover Sport. It was relatively fast, and had enough torque to make the Earth turn the other direction. However supercharged Range Rover Sport accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 5.3 seconds, and electronically governed 250 km/h top speed is probably just to convince you to dish out another 35 grand for an SVR.

One of the wittiest review I ever seen. Great work

[@404tactical7]

Great video Marek Drives. You captured the sound and performance perfectly in that test drive and review. I had a 2014 and it was my dream car.

[@MarekDrivesENG]

It is a brilliant car!

[@carycoller3140]

I bought one. A Supercharged V8. I'll never give it up, until I can afford the SVR.

What's the issue with getting one?

[@WynMills1]

I have one. Believe me, its the meaning of life. I look down at other drivers and feel sympathy.

[@davidplon9215]

Amazing car i thought! Just test drove the 2018 version with 518 HP! It's absolutely ridiculous fast and heavy plus felt like the king of the road! I'm seriously debating whether to purchase this or the 2019 redesigned Porsche Cayenne S version? Concerned a bit regarding reliability with the brand that just got worst rating from JD powers and associates in the US. But anyway truly enjoyed the review very much!!

[@Cleaning_Hero]

Justify the price? If it makes you smile and can afford it (i.e. not be tied down financially over it). Few truly need* anything over $15-$30k but we spend more because to some of us, our cars are our sanctuaries, our faithful companions that move us through life and all it's challenges. It's where we unwind, experience new adventures and get inspired (difficult for many). We spend 25% of our lives in our vehicles so it's not hard to see why someone would buy a six figure luxury SUV: we genuinely appreciate the commanding, quiet, smooth ride and attention to detail. A lot of people that can afford these have gone the extra mile and busted their a** to get to the point of affording one of these. It's nice to have a vehicle from a brand that has gone the extra mile for you, as well and reflects how far one has come. Personally, I would go for the Escalade ESV or Navigator. You get more truck for the money in terms of passenger space, higher standards for interior materials, higher reliability ratings, much higher tow capacity and albeit much safer. Body-on-frame vehicles (truck suspensions) can also take more abuse from potholes and towing heavy trailers, boats, etc.

[@ruby22]

Connor. Great commentary and you get it about many folks who have worked hard and so should enjoy some fruits of their labour

[@mattesrocket]

Fast huge SUVs are just stupid, except this one, it looks great and coherent. Mercedes and BMW SUVs sometimes look over the top or pumped up

In previous generation to repair gearbox you needed to remove complete body from powertrain.

[@NikolaiTsekov]

Idk about the car, but you have a great sense of humor. Tree-huggers, lol.

[@Swordsfor200Alex]

Just bought 1 two weeks ago. They only had 3 V8 supercharged 2018's left because no one wanted them with the poor mpg. I wanted the power/luxury so I was looking for the V8 because I don't pay for gas. That is a company perk. The test drive was spectacular. 0-60 in 3 second, 0-100 in 5.5 seconds. It will leave most super cars in the dust. I love it - had no interest buying a Range Rover until I drove a Porsche Cayenne, Jaguar FPace, QX80 and an Escalade. It was funny because each salesman said the same thing, "The only thing nicer is a Range Rover".

[@jv-kg1nb]

You called the v8 supercharged Range Rover sport a mid range suv. Maybe your Walmart sweatshirt was cutting off circulation to your brain.

[@amaamzat9913]

j v why😂🤣💀

[@TD-il6ju]

j v LOL

[@NZMuzz]

Good review but no way a mid range SUV.

[@dshapl11]

Thought this would be the new version, but guess its not available to test yet !?

[@MarekDrives]

This was filmed a couple of months ago, before they announced the facelift. I guess new version will come to Poland next year.

[@NZMuzz]

Lucky enough to have the exact same one.. used and old now but geeze I enjoy it.... long time dead so why not eh

[@georgea0731]

I have an older 07 and like the slightly more modern body style. What year did they give it the newer style, especially the angle of the unpper half. Assume this was a 2017.

[@MarekDrives]

2017/18.

[@adamsdailydriveway]

I hit 4.6 0-60 in my 16 sport autobiography , my 17 rover hse supercharged I did 4.8 and 4.7 0-60 time and time again on the v box, so idk how these guys hit 5.3? Weird but love my Rovers!!

[@jeremyreagan3974]

4.6 second on 0-60mph time is spot on with what I get...

[@aaroncroydon]

The backing track was distracting and made it difficult to hear what you had to say. Probably better to stick to non-vocal backing tracks

[@Reza-sl4jm]

Hi marek please test renault koleos too I want to buy it soon

[@MarekDrives]

Maybe in the spring next year.

[@SzDavidHUN]

The sound sould be f*** very good at least, you could buy a studio for that. Or maybe they installed some 40w istead of 20w and keep all money.

[@RHCPflealiveforever]

I am the kind of person that never kept the factory sound system on a car, cheap or expensive. I am also the guy that couldn't care less about how loud the system is. Finaly i am the kind of guy that should tell you i never came across a car in whitch the factory sound system was good. Cheap or expensive. Decent, yes a few. Good none. F***king good, not even close.

Yes especially interior, but also the kind of ride, handling, practicality (in family cars), safety etc. Also I would be interested with what do you think are the pros and cons of the car. Thank you for your reviews. You have a truly unique and clever way of presenting.

Don't be like that! :D I have a Fiat Uno 1.0 since it was produced in '99 in Poland, and it still runs great. Total repair costs in 18 years - around 3 thousand euro. Office VW cross Touran spends 3 thousand euro on one minor repair!
