Just bought my 4th Range Rover Sport in a row, no other brands in between. Had the first 2 for 3 years each, the 3rd for 10 years, 130,000 miles…..no problems at all, loved that car. Decided it was time for an upgrade, got the new 2024 Range Rover Sport, still kept my 10 year old one. No cars like it, in my opinion. I’ve had Mercedes, Bmw’s, Jaguars for years. Love the Range Rover so much more!
There is something so cool about this model. Not only this new one, but the older ones are still very very nice aswell… Even the 2012 model is so sick when I see it driving, something is so timeless about these cars!
Ahhh 1. This car is not British and hasn’t been for quite some time. Land Rover is owned by Tata Motor Group based in Mumbai. 2. Fully loaded at about $150k, this car cost nearly double a loaded Genesis GV80 yet in a side by side comparison,Range Rover Sport falls short. Something is motivating buyers of Range Rovers and it’s great marketing. Sorry fan boys. You can say you ‘just like but you’ll never convince me that ‘smart money’ ever buys this car.
@@williamingram8028 this car is British, and will always be so. The fact that this “tata” bullshit owns “Land Rover” doesn’t switch it to be Indian, stop pushing your poor, dirty and gross india everywhere
This guy should have been picked as a new Top Gear presenter. He’s knowledgeable and entertaining, something Flintoff and McGuinness are missing in droves.
As a previous owner of 2020 RR sport, I would never step foot back into LR dealership again. Broke down in the first month due to electrical problem caused by a failure in the entertainment unit, took the service center 3 weeks to fix. 4 months in, air suspension system failed and the roof lining started to sag. Serviced and got back, summer came and the engine was having overheating issues, engine line popping for no reason, happened due to a failure in the water lines. Followed by transmission failure last year. The car is capable and refine, but when it is not reliable, it is not just worth the hassle even if then give you extended warranty.
As my friend who’s a service manager said :”the benefits of buying range rovers are, you’ll feel part of the company, as you’ll spend of your time seeing your local technician.”
3:39 I think that's fine, you can glance down and see which mode it's in. And either way it's miles better than what most manufacturers are doing nowadays.
A disposable vehicle. Fantastic for the first lease owner. The second owner is like the maid that gets to clean the room after Led Zeppelin stayed there.
@@paulbaker4941 and what the german equivalents are reliable? I’ve spent £4k on my 2019 A6 replacing the shitting ABS module 4 months outside of its warranty. A Lexus? They don’t hold a candle to anything german or British in terms of technology or luxury. Yeh they are reliable but so is a bicycle.
For me there are three problems with the interior (and I have recently test driven one). The ‘floating’ screen looks like it’s attached to the dash with Velcro, the centre console is cheap looking black plastic, and the Meridian system is only 15 speakers and 400 watts. My late model series 2 isn’t going anywhere for a while.
The most amazing vehicle ever ... for the 10months of the year you'll actually have it. And in the other 2 months I'm sure the Service Center will provide you with a lovely courtesy car. My nearest dealership (in NW England) has a night shift in their workshop. Just think about that.
From my experience the ingenium engines haven't been that problematic, probably about on par with the German competitors. Most of the issues they have these days are just software issues, which quite often seem to get misdiagnosed as hardware issues and have modules replaced instead of a simple software update. Slowly but surely the software issues are being ironed out so they're getting there

@@_ph4nt0mzz_47 Actually, I had an Accord about 10 years ago and it was an amazing car. Very frugal and a huge load-carrier. I loved it. The RR is yours when I win it.
There are 3 12v sockets on these Mat: -One inside the passenger glove box (the top one) -One on the centre console of the rear seats -And one on the boot, on the vertical of the RR corner 😜
My favorite is the Porsche Cayenne and the Macan too, but I have to say that this Range Sport is not bad at all, I like it. Thanks for the always nice video, Mat.
@@officialJoebiden true for the old ones, and yeah the new ones are still pretty capable and have all of the modes but do you really think this new sport was built with offroading in mind with all seasons and big alioy wheels
A huge well done for deleting the rearmost seats which massively compromise several aspects of the vehicle and not just rear space! Interior quality looks very good indeed, just hoping reliability has taken a leap in the right direction! 👏😀👍
@@adamrbing Source? I am still seeing range rover's reliability as quite low. Mercedes and BMW's reliability aren't even on the same level, as most sources have BMW listed as having better reliability.
@@adamrbing What are you talking about mate... cut the crap! Land Rover is dead last in reliability according to JD power's 2022 list. Bmw and mercedes are leaps ahead in reliability
That centre console is near enough identical to the F Pace. It would be good to see your review on the new face lift F Pace. I’ve got one on order for March however annoyingly you can’t add meridian sound due to the chip shortage and digital screen is no longer available!
I do like the normal RR design, but I still like the Sport for its compact size and its handling trait. It's just a shame that this gen RR Sport doesn't have 7-seater option.
Overall I still like the previous face lift the most of all the sports, where I like the newest fullsize the most. Features are great of course as that will always happen with newer models but I'm not sold on the rear end yet. Interior is cool but I also like the previous drive selector more but maybe thats just familiarity. Curious to see if it feels any different on the road when I get to drive them more often! Good review as always! Edit: I almost forgot my favorite feature of the new rovers is that the door will hold open at any angle you leave it at. I didnt imagine that I would like that so much lmao
@@bensmithkent22 Its the lights for me, the previous gen made it looks more aggressive and somewhat designed with purpose. This just looks like a copy of full range on sport shape.
I currently have the previous face lift and I'm switching it for th new one - its levels and levels better than the old one I was so impressed and surprised at the improvement. Its the terrible infotainment that really lets the previous face lift down massively
The interior on the new sport is miles ahead of the game. Stuff you can’t really see on video. But the materials used and how it feels inside vs it’s direct competitors are superb
I sat in the old shape full fat autobiography lwb rangey on a 19 plate. Sat in as in im poor and had to move it for the director of a shipping firm so get to have a poke around. It was the very top one. Top of the instrument binnacle was shockingly hollow and flimsy and the pedals no better than a focus ecoboosts. Other touchpoints headlining seat leather superb but the audis and cayennes of this world are better made. Hes traded it in for an rsq8 thats much better all round inside if you dig and prod properly just darker. Also had the pleasure of moving a cullinan thats just insane inside.
@@bensmithkent22 I do a lot of benchmarking as part of my job. The new RR & RRS are massively improved and probably better then most competitors. I’ve found a lot of BMW & Audi equivalents have nice materials in high touch areas, above waistline. But very plasticky lower down. Grade of carpet is also cheap on some them. Had a look at a taycan and was surprised how cheap it was inside in some areas. Bentayga looks very premium with the bling but they skimp out in other areas such as boot, grab handles etc. Rolls is very good but also a lot more expensive.
I don't get it why everyone is talking about "reliability issues' I bought this range rover 1 month ago and it is giving me no problems at all and I also own a 2017 Vogue (My dad's car) and it still drives the same way we got it out of the showroom Just some proper maintanence and no problems at all
The most annoying thing is that now is looking more bulky than the previous one by making the windows less taller. Range rover had a special feeling because of the view from interior where the margins of the windows were lower than the elbow level.
Sweet rig… I will say though, I was more impressed with the design of the previous generation when it came out that I am with this one now. There was something about that last one that was just so damn good looking at this one doesn’t quite have
I owned a previous generation sport, had no issues with reliability however it was constantly being broken into. The security on them is awful. I still see RR sports with steering locks on them - at this price range you shouldn’t have to add a sodding steering lock. The performance wasn’t great either, the lag would often cause issues when pulling out of turnings. The gadgets and general quality of the car was spot on but not sure I’d buy another.

Well there was hardly anything to complain. The back row is actually amazing, you sit so high that you can nearly let’s you legs hang down which is very nice over long distances.
The divider isn't for shopping but mainly as a seat as you don't have a split tail gate so you can picnic from the car at country shows/the races/change shoes easier when walking the dog etc
pretty uncomfortable seat as it doesn't even fold to 90 degrees, and your trousers are going to get very dirty when your legs hang over the rear bumper.
My mate in the gym is a land rover technician and he reckons these are so much more reliable than the previous generation which was unbelievably unreliable
Been looking on LR configurators... Can you 'not' buy/order a P530 in a new RR Sport anymore? Such a shame if that's the case as that BMW M50/60i V8 motor is a gem. Just needs a better intake and exhaust.
Just test drove this - it is indeed a lovely and luxurious place to be. The ventilated seats in the front and rear seats are a game-changer in warm climates like Australia. Seriously considering…
Mat I like this channel, seeing you tool about in cars I can afford, cars I can't afford and cars almost no one can afford is great. I just don't see what the attraction is with SUV's. These are cars designed for one job being used a for a different job altogether. They aren't road capable like a sedan, they are less economical and more dangerous to everyone, except maybe the occupants. The perfect car, not even close.
At least its a only a bit 'sporty', which means a comfortable ride for most of the time. Engines should be inspired by motorsport not suspension. Suspension should be inspired by rally driving on the softest possible setting but of course with hard sway bars so no leaning in bends
if those ac controls go back to temp after operation then they are very easy to use without looking. you know your own car so being able to push for seat heating and cooling or pull for fan speed without looking is nice.
Hey Mat..... You've really explained very good and I felt very interesting of this Range Rover Sport and just wanted to know where have you took the video of this car exactly at which place..... As I'm from India and it is very green over there and it is a very good place to have an amazing ride in the Range Rover........... 😊
We just got ours 2 weeks ago and love the thing already! The fridge is a must. I wonder if the owner sourced the spare wheel themselves as you cannot order it with the car. We did and it was cancelled as it’s not available.I noticed that the car has the same missing LED’s from the strip under the steering wheel as ours has, what’s that all about.
@@pedrocorpus It was 6 months almost to the day. We were one of the first orders in. If you click on my RUclips channel there’s a couple of videos on it along with a pretty unique story as we’ve sort of ordered 2. We were told that if you ordered the top of the range one (ours isn’t that one) the wait would be very long as they can’t get the parts for some of the extras. I hope yours comes soon.
Im deciding between the Range Rover sport and a GLE53 . They are both the same price in Spain .. which one do you think it’s the best option to buy ???
I like this one, first RR for about 20 years. It looks less 'bling' on the outside. Also like this interior colour. I think this one looks way more classy than any RR product released in years.

Well there was hardly anything to complain. The back row is actually amazing, you sit so high that you can nearly let’s you legs hang down which is very nice over long distances.
These reviews are so addictive I enjoyed the whole video.
King of Broken Down SUV of the year 🎉
The divider isn't for shopping but mainly as a seat as you don't have a split tail gate so you can picnic from the car at country shows/the races/change shoes easier when walking the dog etc
pretty uncomfortable seat as it doesn't even fold to 90 degrees, and your trousers are going to get very dirty when your legs hang over the rear bumper.
Looks a lot better than the big brother 👍
12:58 *The same wavelength and frequency but produces a wave π out of phase 😊
Police: Do you know why you were pulled over?
Mat: because I'm mat wattson
And you're watching carwow!
My mate in the gym is a land rover technician and he reckons these are so much more reliable than the previous generation which was unbelievably unreliable
The key of the Vauxhall Astra that you show is actually the exact same key that I have for my 2012 Peugeot 508 😅
lol, stay in the matrix
And 2022 308
@@themannestman Yes ofc because it's 99% the same car as the 308
Been looking on LR configurators...
Can you 'not' buy/order a P530 in a new RR Sport anymore?
Such a shame if that's the case as that BMW M50/60i V8 motor is a gem. Just needs a better intake and exhaust.
The only thing that makes me interested in this car is the surround cameras. Thanks for reviewing.💙💙❤❤
Range Rover makes off-road beasts!
Until they break down while off road 😬
Yes, they are always off the road
son of beasts🤣
The interior in the Range Rover looks so comfortable, you sit nicely while waiting for your tow truck to come pick you up.
What a amazing car Mat and review
Just test drove this - it is indeed a lovely and luxurious place to be. The ventilated seats in the front and rear seats are a game-changer in warm climates like Australia. Seriously considering…
The design of the screen is absolutely cutting-edge, but they need to use a better SOC next time (not smooth enough).
Did you mention which engine is in the car you driving here Matt?
Class looking motor! Iconic looks that can't be replicated by the competition.
Chinese models🤡
@@groundedgaming loll don't compare it with bmw shitty new faces this new model looks preety good
@@bsjddjk ? I mean the Chinese models can "replicate" the original iconic looks
@@groundedgaming original & iconic model won't survive for long as ppl need fresh & futuristic faces now
@@bsjddjk fresh and futuristic isn’t that thew new Range Rover?
System lag is seriously a no go I think. That is something for 2012, not 2022.
Its same with any car infotainment , They are not good in Making os, hope in future google provide an Os like android
Tbh the map seems better
Really humorous guy, I found myself laughing the whole time. Thanks for the review.
Mat I like this channel, seeing you tool about in cars I can afford, cars I can't afford and cars almost no one can afford is great.
I just don't see what the attraction is with SUV's. These are cars designed for one job being used a for a different job altogether.
They aren't road capable like a sedan, they are less economical and more dangerous to everyone, except maybe the occupants.
The perfect car, not even close.
At least its a only a bit 'sporty', which means a comfortable ride for most of the time. Engines should be inspired by motorsport not suspension. Suspension should be inspired by rally driving on the softest possible setting but of course with hard sway bars so no leaning in bends
very much resembles Velar
i love Velar
The car looks so good! Loved range getting better from bad rep to good!
Yes, it's very nice car however be full of problems out of warranty
its so ugly
if those ac controls go back to temp after operation then they are very easy to use without looking. you know your own car so being able to push for seat heating and cooling or pull for fan speed without looking is nice.
Hey Mat..... You've really explained very good and I felt very interesting of this Range Rover Sport and just wanted to know where have you took the video of this car exactly at which place..... As I'm from India and it is very green over there and it is a very good place to have an amazing ride in the Range Rover........... 😊
I like the old sport it looks wonderful in my (opinion)
you’re right better
We just got ours 2 weeks ago and love the thing already! The fridge is a must. I wonder if the owner sourced the spare wheel themselves as you cannot order it with the car. We did and it was cancelled as it’s not available.I noticed that the car has the same missing LED’s from the strip under the steering wheel as ours has, what’s that all about.
How long was your wait time? I ordered one in September and no news on build date!
@@pedrocorpus spot on 6 months but we did order on release day.
@@pedrocorpus It was 6 months almost to the day. We were one of the first orders in. If you click on my RUclips channel there’s a couple of videos on it along with a pretty unique story as we’ve sort of ordered 2. We were told that if you ordered the top of the range one (ours isn’t that one) the wait would be very long as they can’t get the parts for some of the extras. I hope yours comes soon.
@@DisneyMarkUK Thanks! Will check out your vids
@@pedrocorpus Thank you. There’s many more videos to come too.
Love it! Looks beautiful!🙌
Pity the number plate was fitted to the wrong location at the front!@ Should be the lower bar
Im deciding between the Range Rover sport and a GLE53 . They are both the same price in Spain .. which one do you think it’s the best option to buy ???
Beautiful, I hope it’s more reliable now ❤
I like this one, first RR for about 20 years. It looks less 'bling' on the outside.
Also like this interior colour. I think this one looks way more classy than any RR product released in years.
@@user-tb4ow1xp2w it is. I don't like RR (or any SUV type car), but this one is very nice.
Best Range Rover thus far for sure🎉
Range rover sport so far , the big one is a moder classic
could you also do a review of the new range rover velar? thanks!
It's abt time you review this car
That is just a beautiful machine
So great Range Rover, love it, typically the design is very elegant, and strong feelings.
I hope they fixed “the reliability issue”😂
Hello , thanks for your work , can i please have the exact color of the car you tested ?
This guy is a good presenter and has a good sense of humor
I like this new style…to lease it for 3yrs so I don’t have to deal with any issues.
If you were to lease this exact model for 3 years, how much would you have paid in total over the 3 year period? Genuine question.
@@electricbreeze Depends of many factors but now with prices really high, I would pay around $1,300/month…that’s $39K in a 3yrs lease.
This new Range Rover Sport looks so cool and sporty!
Every vehicle you say the same thing...every one...
Bot is limited
There was a jam on the a1m northbound the other day. It was a brand new Range Rover sport that had broken down, engine smoking and the rest.
That infotainment screen looks like an afterthought. Tackarama
What a beautiful 4x4, the design is absolutely flawless. Stunning.. 🥰😍
