Good vid, very nice Rangy. But I’ll never own a new one mainly due to the massive depression from new, and the price, I also prefer not to buy with finance if i can avoid it. Im currently looking at 17 reg rangy with around 60k miles for around 27-30k with full service and one owner. But I’ve owned a few L322s know and honestly think its one of the best cars I’ve owned and keep going back to. I thing range rovers you ever love them or you despise them a bit like marmite. I think range rovers have an unfair rep of bad reliability when a lot falls down to maintenance and being looked after correctly.
Financially what you're doing makes good sense for a private buyer. You can alleviate some of the financial pain of buying new if you lease a plug-in hybrid version through your company at something like 5% BIK.
Hi Joel, thanks and likewise! I can't say I did notice that stiffening up you mentioned thought no doubt if I lived with it for a while I'd start to notice its foibles more. Loved it though. I want one!
Love a good range rover but this new generation really doesn't do it for me. The previous ones still had some country feel to them but for me I worry these are becoming too city focused.
Lovely review Ross. I hope more people see your conversational, informed presenting style as you totally get what this car is all about. I had a question please about size and width. Another RUclipsr (“It’sJoel”) spoke about the size feeling larger than L405 (2012-2021), and how he noticed it when traffic was coming the other way. How did you find driving the car around narrow English roads? Could you easily pass others, or was it constantly putting you on edge with the width? I know you said it shrank around you which is encouraging, but thought I’d check as I’m seriously considering one now thanks to your review. Best wishes, Mark.
Thanks Mark! I didn’t feel the car was any wider particularly in the face of oncoming traffic. On these country roads you don’t mind pulling over into the ditch either as the car’s made for that. I did notice the other cars tend to pull over more though to let you waft through majestically 🧐
Ah thanks @@RossOnCars for taking the time to reply! That's great news. Technically the car isn't that much wider on paper, I just keep hearing from people saying it's an issue. I can't see myself without one of these, nothing else does the job so majestically as you say!

The official line from LR is that the new RRs are not being stolen - only 11 cars since 2020 due to their new ultra-wide band keys which have killed off 'relay hackings.' There's no data on reliability yet for this model.

Nice video! Have you noticed at motorway speeds the steering feeling somewhat ‘tight’? Just the one thing I couldn’t get over…

Buy it in farmer's green and add a tow bar! I think I know what you mean. It doesn't look rugged. That's the Defender's job.

You may we’ll turn left when you get into it
But your bank balance will soon be turning right as soon as you drive it.
Either way
Great review
🤣 Yes it should come with a financial health warning!

Have they sorted out reliability yet ? And getting stolen for fun !
