This Or A New Land Cruiser? // 2023 Range Rover PHEV Review

[@mdmorris6193]

I wonder if the hybrid will live up to the joke a mechanic friend of mine has about Range Rovers: “Range Rover…turning drivers into mechanics for 70 years.” Great channel, Sarah. “Give it the beans…on toast…it’s British.” Priceless!

[@707Berto]

Range Rovers are what leases are for.

[@gregholloway2656]

85% of Land Rovers are still on the road, the other 15% made it home.

[@Domspun]

Everything is expensive to fix too. Just looking at the suspension on this one, I just see thousands of dollars to keep that thing on the road in a few years.

[@mbsnyderc]

I was kinda thinking the same thing they work great when they work.

[@veitjacob9764]

A German magazine had the non hybrid Version testet on a southern French Alps off road tour and they were lucky to have a mitsubishi Triton at hand to rescue the range a couple of times.😂

You knocked this review out of the stratosphere. Reverse up the hill from a full stop, incredible. The interior is super cool with that champagne chiller. This is just one amazing sleeper SUV, who knew. Right? .

[@StephenFogarty2023]

Fantastic review Sarah. Your last few minutes of comments regarding how a lot of people ( don’t ) properly maintain these vehicles etc, is absolutely spot on. If u maintain these properly and some TLC, they do keep chugging along for many years. As u said, after driving it for a week, u do realise the appeal of a RR. They r an extraordinarily special vehicle. The command driving position & comfort etc are top class. 👍

Best outfit, best episode. Crazy to see whats available on fancy cars.

[@wild_lee_coyote]

The tip is for all the had work you put in every single day, and for some glue for your finger. I was impressed on the off-road considering those tires were never designed for it. Not I dedicated off roader but with the right tires I bet it could go down a lot of poorly maintained trails.

[@ludercoarms]

You threw a shout out to the XJ!!! As the owner of a 1998 XJ that sees a lot of off roading, I can assure that a unibody can off road if built right. Keep up the awesome work!!

[@michaelday4503]

I rented a Range Rover in Orange County this spring and absolutely loved it. It was the nicest car I've ever driven and I wouldn't mind being stuck in traffic in one of those. Don't think I can own one given the number of miles I drive, but I'm a huge fan.

[@CaptainHoratioPugwash]

A likely reason for the towing capacity being so specific is that in the UK we can tow a trailer with a maximum weight of exactly that 3,500kg rating with a regular car license. I suspect it could easily tow more but I guess Jaguar Land Rover didn't bother rating it any higher due to the license limit... and they forgot that other countries exist.

[@bradhaines3142]

also hybrid drive trains arent usually designed for heavy towing. battery cooling becomes a concern

[@Michael_Schm]

I think it's for most of Europe actually. I know 3500kg is a limit in Denmark aswell.

[@bradhaines3142]

@@johnt.848 that thing has 6 piston calipers and some huge rotors, anything too big needs its own brakes anyway. slowing down the weight isnt the problem with that. theres always a transmission limit or cooling issue. not brakes. i mean just look at any semi, fully loaded their stopping distance is like half a mile. brakes arent that big of a concern with towing, its only frame and drivetrain capacity that limits the ratings.

[@PiDsPagePrototypes]

​@@rollietrayte1332Can see, you've not met the kind of people that play Polo and race horses. Horse float plus two horses plus gear and it's real close to 3500kilos. The folks that own race horses, they'll have the Float towed behind a big Ram, Ford or Chevy pickup with dually rear end. The advantage of the Rangie over those, is the shorter wheelbase for getting car and trailer around smaller laneways and the like that access the stables.

[@indiebekonn]

@@Zzrdemon6633for anything over 3500kg you need electric or more likely pneumatic brakes on a trailer plus a C1/C+E licence. As it should be, because mass of 7t+ combined is no joke.

[@AverageAnimal]

Thanks!

[@fishflash1]

An eye opening car view. Before you started comparing this to Lexus, I was thinking just that. The stop and reverse on the hill was brilliant.

[@kirknewton100]

Great review. Being British myself, being honest, I've never really looked at the Range Rover because it's, so far out of my budget. But your review opened my mind up as to how well designed and built the car is. Thanks for another great review. 😊

[@markdawson5215]

Well done. The entertainment and informational values were excellent in this review.

[@johntamlyn6383]

Really enjoyed this review! The RR has always been an ‘iconic’ vehicle ever since it was introduced in the early ‘70s, (with a Buick derived 3.5 litre V8). You’re totally right in describing it as a luxury car, you see a lot of them in central London where the opportunities for off-roading are kind of limited. And sorry to sound dreary but they have become very large (for UK roads) and super expensive. But what a fabulous interior though. Glad you enjoyed it!

[@clivesoper8864]

A really sensible,considered review with a large dose of humour and common sense. Probably the best review of the new Range Rover along side Harrys I’ve seen. Brilliantly done, thank you.

[@stucook8622]

Thanks for another cool video Sarah!🐧

[@deopersad2915]

Wow awesome, but all I see is expensive parts to replace, and most wouldn't see the off-road for a long time, I would be scared to drive it lol , that's why I like older car's easyer to work on 👍🏽

[@anthonycieplik33]

Full size and matching spare tire. Nice.

[@gerryfinegan]

Hi Sarah. Land Rover got its start as the Rover Company in 1885, which began as a bicycle manufacturer in Warwickshire, England. After changing ownership a few times over decades of history, Land Rover is now owned by the Indian auto manufacturing giant Tata Motors.

[@petersloane252]

Wow! Just found your channel. A lifelong Land/Range Rover driving, for all horse box towing, mud churning reasons, Brit here .. This is by far the most in depth & comprehensive appraisal EVER. Love it ❤🙏🏼🇬🇧😅

Gosh.... I really LOVE the earnestness and honesty you have in your delivery. Bravo.

[@mtunofun1]

[@kevinlyon9501]

I'm glad you liked it, having been working on these from the prototype to the first edition release vehicles, I can confirm working on them can be an ass pain, especially in the engine department.😁

[@pm6483]

Did you make it more reliable overall?

[@sxc1225]

19+ minutes: I am loving this trend!

[@Torsee]

11:38 Great idea! That LION looks hungry!

[@senatorchinchilla5389]

17:45 I have had a similar experience with Jaguar. They have relatively high quality materials, but people just don't maintain them. I dont care how high the quality is, if nobody replaces the coolant or transmission fluid or just lets more and more parts go bad, the car is toast.

[@stevenfarrall3942]

Exactly. I have owned an run LR products and if properly maintained they go on for years. And the build quality - as in built in reliability - is far far better on current LR product range.

[@veitjacob9764]

I mean. If you buy a lexus you have almost a 100% chance of not driving to your shop to get something fixed. If you buy a range rover the chances are slim to none. That's one of the reasons you can get them extremely cheap after only a couple of years driving or ...ehm... not driving.

[@janjander152]

Fun review and you showed so many details I did not know about: the inline 6 has cast iron cylinder liners and the graphic on the speedometer where you select your off-road speed…oh and the mud scraper inside the wheels…great stuff, beautiful car.

[@John64125]

I started watching these because Sarah’s a funny human but this review is properly excellent. The review of the switchgear was hugely informative. Those multi function rotary switches are brilliant and soooooo much better than shoving everything on a screen you stare at as you collide with the car in front when trying to turn up the a/c. Motor manufacturers should stop that crap, it’s dangerous. Loved the review Sarah, thou art a genius. Car is impressive as well.

[@lylejames8079]

Nothing better than Sarah enjoying excellent bolstering! 😂

[@75Marmont]

It looks you have a new rating for off road vehicles, the Lion score. Great review as usual.

[@alunjones2550]

Still the only car you could turn up at the Savoy completely covered in mud and look perfectly at home.........

[@StephenFogarty2023]

Agree 💯

[@stevenfarrall3942]

You can do that even better in an old Defender, or for real style a Series 2a or Series 3. Get out. Hand the keys to the parking valet and stroll in for tea and scones without a single backward glance.

[@tusker4954]

I’ve owned a Rangey… but would not have another. OK for posing in Chelsea or somewhere equally bouji . Having lived in Africa & The Middle East and, despite being a capable 4WD, they are not reliable enough (over sophisticated) to work in remote places. Great review 😍

[@stephenmoxley3004]

Another great review, Sarah. One of my favorite parts of your reviews is the bolstering test. Keep doing that. Although this vehicle is loaded with really cool features, unfortunately the brand suffers from dismal reliability. And their parts prices are absurd. That's why many of them end up in the bone yards. Keep up the great work.

[@stevemawer848]

Sarah pointed out the reason for the perceived "dismal reliability". Maintain 'em properly and they last forever.

[@patrickroberts7513]

I wonder if there is an option where the seats automatically serve you tea and biscuits in the afternoon?

Always dressed accordingly. 😉👍🏻 The British are very posh. Same goes for their SUV’s. 🙂 I enjoyed how surprised you were regarding the rear accommodations. A lot of these things are used to chauffeur diplomats and such. They have to have all that stuff. It’s a shame so many fall apart either due to lack of maintenance or simply the sheer expense of it. 🤷🏻‍♂️ It would definitely be on the short list if I had to explore very rugged terrain. 👍🏻

Sarah, there is a T shirt floating around that says " I am the warranty ". If I can find it I'll send it to you. Your comment on maintenance relating to Land Rover owners / and scrap yards with discarded Land Rovers inspired this comment.

Oh boy, this. Walk away from the RR.... Taking on large risk owning anything Land Rover. At least your new LR will have low miles as it will always be waiting for repairs and parts and not chewing through mileage.

Happy Tuesday Sarah!!! Wow! That thing has features on top of features, featuring more features!!😁 You're right though, see them in junkyards or in backlots or in front yards in sketch parts of town looking abandoned and air suspension pancaked, a lot of times it's the last owners that got suckered into buying them from those used car lots with the "AS IS/ NO WARRANTY" stickers in the window, so when they break expensively, yard ornament it is.

I've just replaced a tyre on one of those, and the Michelins cost £320 each! The wheel & tyre combined are ridiculously heavy too!

[@StephenFogarty2023]

I’m sure a comparable Continental or Pirelli tyre etc would cost similar It’s an All Terrain 21” tyre. The alloys are very robust, to better handle off road terrain. And it’s a heavy vehicle before you add passengers or tow. Same situation with comparable BMW or Mercedes etc

The editing was delightful for this Range Rover review Sarah! Loved the Austin Powers reference!I also love that Land Rover is providing more interior materials other than leather. Having seen the textile-based interior in person that is the option I'd choose, especially since they offer ventilation, so you're not losing out on features over the standard leather interior.
