"A high quality, incredibly refined luxury car with true go-anywhere ability."
I was going to buy one of these but went for the 1996 Astra instead
you made my day !
Good choice
senor250 well it’s more reliable
senpr250....so you was gonnu buy a gun... but bought a water pistol instead....
Wise move m8
Hired one of these for a 200 mile trip with 3 passengers, front seats get massage and the rear passengers were very comfortable. It also had the 5.0 liter supercharged motor, which probably came straight out a sports car. Really glad I choose this car over the G class, made the trip worth memorable.
A high driving position doesn't always make you feel like royalty. My Boxer van has a very high driving position and yet somehow it makes me feel a bit of a pleb.
David Hayes made my day!
Made my day that his name is like. David haye the boxer with an s. Legendary
Have a good weekend 😊
My uncle bought an LR3 back in 2006, it has almost 210k miles and it runs perfectly to this day with just minimal maintenance.
Extremely beautiful vehicle. This is my favorite SUV.
Mavinski1 totally! mine too
Mershell me three 😉
still is mine

Nice to see a reviewer speak honestly about Range Rover reliability, basically it doesn't have any reliability!! My boss had one, but we never saw it, because it spent most of its time at the dealers getting repaired for anything from electrical glitches, but the last straw was an expensive diff fix, for which my boss then ditched the RR in favour of a Cayenne, which has run near faultless.
utubecomment21 common fault when cheapskates don’t change the oil in them.
That's it, I'm getting one of these when I'm old enough
Still rocking mine in 2021
Is it worth buying?
@@josephjohnson7860 Yes
I filmed the details of the 2013 Range Rover Autobiography and the Mercedes S Class
Omg hey alaatin61 I watch ur channel
Matt you are my favourite reviewer ! whatever they say about your size and accent in the comments, please continue ! this is how the rest of us like you
Y’all still in 2013😂😂
Oh yuh
Recently bought the Range Rover autobiography, well worth the buy !
2023 These cars are a money pit.
I think it’s safe to say that this is never getting recommended 😂
i love this car, but i don't have it.
hahaha
For me, this is one of the few cars that makes each penny worth. Until you have experienced what its like to live with, you wont be able to realize about that. And by "to live with" I mean owning it, not just getting a try for a weekend.
Best Suv !!
Facts
Back in the days how review were just 6 minutes long
I am mightily impressed by the New Range Rover and I have now placed it above my previous favourite, the Audi A8 4.2 TDi. My only concern, that may be unfounded, concerns reliability issues that, with the advent of the New RR, could be unfounded. I really hope so, as I think this Car is a world beater that deserves to succeed!
Good work Mat! Your best review. Thanks.
Resell value means fuck all to how good a car is. Old Jags had shit resale value, but they were awesome cars. And while Lexus is more reliable, they can't touch RR in terms of luxury.
I owned a RR back in 2007, and the reliability was a big problem. Sometimes the sound system couldn't be turned on, and had to shut off the car for more than a minute and turned on again. Then few times when I washed the car, one side of the suspension ended up lower or higher. Then few times the engine was jerking while driving in low speed, and one time ended up breaking down in a traffic. These happened in the first year of a brand new car.
I was going to buy a Flat this year but I've changed my mind, I think Ill buy one of these Range Rovers......and live in it.
Actually IMO the Brick Like form of the Chassis is what made me like the Range Rover SUV... Now they've done what I feared the most... Made it look like an Evoque and the Sport!
i can watch this video forever...
Some comments here, really believe if the car is not German, its shit. Look on the internet and see the amount of problems German cars have. BMW / VW engine failures. Electrical problems. DSG Gearbox failures. Remember the shit build quality, and elk flip test of the 1st Gen Merc A class? Mercedes were also known for rust problems with their cars. German cars, are not as reliable or as well built as they use to be.
+carbiify They are still the best cars in the world. Nothing beats the Germans when it comes to cars.
+Shoaib Salim
Japanese cars are a lot more reliable.
Jdm shit on German
none of that happens as long as you maintain them well
You could say the same about British, French, Italian, Japanese, and American cars. Problems and Recalls happen. The Germans have had their fair share, like the rest.
complete review , thanks.
Clicked because I saw Matt Watson 😂🔥
very expensive
I used to dislike this model so much but this review just makes me want to buy it :)
What’d they do with all that room? It’s, it’s gone. -Mat Watson, 2013.
Yooka: Never was in a Range Rover, let alone a limo.
Read the Manual matt then you will get the hang of the what the screen dose
I love the fact that more people in UK started to use the metric system.
The transmission is made of chocolate in the 4.4 TDV8 and the crank shafts are made of toffee in the 3.0 TdV6.......but a very nice place to wait by the side of the road for when the AA eventually turn up.
I wish JLR would make a low-spec, basic Range Rover that harks back to the original 70s one with an interior that you can hose out after a day in the mud. Something like a Range Rover/Defender cross. That would be one hell of a niche market though.
So what we are talking about here us effectively their current defender range?
Basically yes. But something that looks like a Range Rover.
Era it's called a freelander... And they stopped making that rubbish
That is what the discovery was for...
Gl deserves this award
I actually wanted to buy one. I had everything set up with the dealer and figured the test drive would be more or less pro forma. The leather feels really nice, the ride is good, but certainly not better than in a Cayenne with air suspension. What put me off though was the navi system going black-screen on a trip of 12 km and the removal of so many buttons including the seat heater in favor of touch screen operation. If one decides to do that, do not use a slow system. Bought a G-class instead. Less comfortable, less economical but all the physical buttons i want and equal iconism. Navi hasn´t let me down yet, either. Maybe the next RR generation...
BEST SUV EVER
Please 2014 jeep grand cherokee review!!!!!! (summit model)
This is one of the best reviews u have every done
Of course he said nothing bad about this car because if he did the queen wood kill him
wood??!!!??!!!!!! ROFL...!!!
Wood
Sriram Rao my keyboard went crazt
Jonathan Wurfbain 😄
***** so, what is "Indian Engineering" about it? Well, as you are incapable of understanding, this is BRITISH engineering at its best. Only TATA input is the money the government refused to supply to keep the company solvent during the government responsible downturn
Im looking for 2010-2012 range rover hse or sc. This one is still expensive. Or should i wait a little more and buy 2013?
Jaehyun Park yes
Oh dear lord can't wait for mine to get here!!
has it arrived,
Excellent review thank you, you spoke about positive comments any negative comments on the larger SUV.
so blessed to have one!
Shouldn't you be fighting for your life?
Don't use it to run people over again Suge.
Where’s 2Pac?
Always loved this car
Awesome review as usual! Can you please review the 2014 Mercedes E Class Coupe?
Thanks!
Good question, that´s something I always wanted to know too!
Can you reach up to the button to close the hatch if you're only...say... five foot four and a half?
once British ruled India, now India is revenging tetley tea, cores steel, range rover & jaguar now owned by tata
That's because Britain has gone to shit. We are a nation of buyers rather than builders.
I really don't care who owns it as long as someone fixes the reliability issues. The last thing I want is to get stuck with my family in some god-forsaken place in a £100k boat that can only be towed by a vehicle of similar size or torque. TATA have the resources so let's see how this one performs in a few months.
Cynchronia when you say reliability issues what do you mean specifically?
Yeah what they don't tell you is there is actually a government tie up with JLR under certain conditions meaning TATA can not take complete production out of Britain and if their was another bailout for JLR, the government would step in and buy it. India isn't doing well though, their economy is look dismal and Im sorry they have a long way to go for complete civilisation as the wealth gap out their is horrendous.
Wow.......you own a few British companies well done. Aha Britain own thousands of foreign companies its called a global economy. I bet with in 20 years someone will come and buy land Rove jaguar from ta ta
Is that mat watson same with carwow?
Right I'm gonna go on the website and find a contact us and ask what car Rebecca and mat has
This isn't quite true my friend.
I was watching an episode of Motorway Cops the other day and an 11 plate Range Rover Evoque had an electrical problem which didn't release the electronic handbrake. It was stuck in lane 3 of a contraflow with traffic hurtling past. I learnt later this had resulted in a nationwide recall.
My point is, Jaguar/LandRover still have a long way to go before they are anywhere as near as reliable as their German/Japanese rivals.
Is this the Standard or Long wheelbase?
Standard
I think I would have one of these cars if they weren't so common. There everywhere!
A myth? My father owned a 1999 Freelander, I have no idea whether reliability has increased or not throughout the years but I assure you people didn't stop complaining about problems regarding the model.
Not to mention all 3 instances where we tried opening the sunroof it got jammed! Just a week ago the SUV nearly caught fire when it's turbo suddenly got screwed up from normal driving.
Getting one of these.
Oh, I fully got your point, i'm just talking about the ability to go off road and be reliable at the same time. I agree, the Merc G wagon is fantastic. And there is a reason the United Nations use Toyotas as their main personnel carrier vehicles.
@chigasaki06 its becuase the range rover doesn't want you to be uncomfortable, no matter what. It kinda ruins the glamour of the it
How do you know? It's only been out a year.
Oh my god!! Im so suprised! British car won the Car buyer luxury car of the year prize. How's that even possible!!!
It always was made from aluminium, the difference is that this is a monocoque body.
Always loved Land Rovers. Hopefully dad will be getting a new Range Rover Sport soon!
Looks very nice dont forget the extra package whit very own personal mechanic there is hidden push button under the steering wheel he pops out from boot to fix your car.....
Uh... the Honda Civic, Jazz and CR-V are all made in Swindon, Wiltshire... England. So are few Nissan's, some Toyota's, BMW's and Vauxhalls. Jaguar/Land Rover Manufacturing are actually now run by people that used to run Honda UK Manufacturing so I wouldn't worry about LR reliability too much these days (though I still wouldn't expect German/Japanese levels).
Yeah man. And i've just noticed i spelled "interested" wrong.
I want to know that when it has been shitting down with snow, that I can start a car and it will move.
I want one :(
Everyone be WARNED!
This car is a gamble.
There is many parts on the car (probably chinese) that where cheaply purchased by land rover and have manufacturing defaults.
The car will be on watchdog soon.
It should have been recalled and land rover know all about it and why. If you have missed or been late for a service they will not pay more then 50% if your lucky, of the cost of a new engine (£28000). Unless you take up a law suit with them, they will try to get out of it.
Ive had 2x v8 diesel autobiography and 2x new engines. My freind had a new engine in his, My solicitor is making a career from land rover and another freind who works in land rover service, has seen many of these range rovers with this this insact problem.
In the sump is a sensor that controls all the oil level reading/oil pressure light/oil top up litre light on the dash and it also may have something to do with your due sevice alert on dash as that didn't work either.
This sensor is oviosly ment to be sealed. But the oil it is ment to read gets inside it and oviosly makes it all fail. If you get a oil leak or even go over a service GOOD LUCK you will need super powers X ray vision!
3000miles over your service, they will try and get out of it. Even if you was late on a service 10 services prior to the incident, even years before the incident. They will try to say that this is the reason for the faulty sensor what fills up with the oil that it is ment to be reading. And until you get a solicitor they will try to throb you off and only honer you 50% of a £28000 engine.
I've heard the newer jags are supposed to be better, but I have not heard the same about range rover. I hope to hear it soon cause to really do want rover to do well and for me to own a luxury and reliable rover
bmw 4 series review coming i see?
in 2013 features list is long lasting&impressive a look is giant.and inside &out side is the best for german cars.
Is this better than a Toyota RAV4? I dont noe which too buy
during the off-road bit, what is the color on the RR?
If only Range Rover could employ the team at Mercedes to do the centre console and the LED lights
+drummaboy64 The interior and LEDs I think are the best things of the car, but the touch screen is not good.
I remember reading he has a Vauxhall Corsa and a Mazda Mx5 NB1 but this one is on sale, at least it was last week.
No clue about Rebecca's.
Mat watson.. which car do you own? And which car does Rebecca own?
it's the bmw press car demonstrator they are reviewing at the same time.
Wish they had carbuyer as like the new blue Kelly book thing
Parents have owned a 2007 Discovery 3 and a 2009 range rover sport for and haven't had any reliability problems....
These luxury four by fours always remind me of one thing: so, you're going off road, get stuck in the mud, get out of the car to attach a winch, climb back in and cover all the white luxury interior with mud
He did what he had to do and thanks to the range rover he could.
Range rover, We go over everything.
can you do the autobiography sports
I neither agree nor disagree, and frankly my opinion doesn't matter as it's not my award to give. Personally though, I'd rather have a Rolls Royce Phantom as a luxury car. If Car Buyer rate the Range Rover higher than the Merc then that's their choice, they're not the only media that have that opinion though - plenty of others say the same. A google search reveals that much quite easily.
What colour is the Range Rover? It looks slightly Champagne colour... I want to know as its such a beauty.
I like it a lot. The most versatile car you can think of. And best car in the world.
But the previously RR was a 10 year old design. The much newer Disco 4 came 8th out of 150 in the same satisfaction survey.
When are we going to get the review of the new s class?
Who was testing that new bmw 4 coupe?
Bought it yesterday! Very Nice
LS460L over this anyday
reliable, luxurious, great resell value, comfortable..
Why throwing the summer in the glovebox at 3:06?
5:34 how the hell did you find a 4 series to get stuck with on a tight country road? It doesn't go onto sale until the Oct 5th...
Not only that, but Jaguar Land Rover have recently topped a recent reliability poll!
Beautiful car, people do take these cars offroad normally when there a bit older tho
I sweat a bit when this guy talks and drives not to mention that control of the wheel, check out the lack of grip I think he’s a little too relaxed!
Now do a review on the new Range Rover Sport, I'm curious what the 5+2 seating is like
This car is class. Hope my dad buys it !
good old days
Comments about reliability and LR/RR are largely out of date with the new models. But anyone can get a rogue. My mate's X5 has been in the shop so often he calls it a BMTroubleu whilst our D4and Freelander2 haven't given us any problems
i didnt hear any noises when he was driving?
