I've had the pleasure of driving two of them myself last week. It truly is an epic car, the best JLR have built in a very long time. Hopefully the transfer box issues aren't too widespread, and they prove to be as reliable as the old SVR.
Great review as always. One of the most attractive designs and sportiest luxury SUVs. But i think the new Range Rover Sport SV's high all-round performance is very much because of the BMW 4.4 V8 twin turbo. Ufortunately you never reviewed extensively the main competitor who defined this segment.and never gave it the credits it deserves.. The BMW G06 X6 . In the X6M Competition version with this engine is a beast. Same with the quad turbo B57 inine 6 diesel 50D. In the etry level 40i and 30D is one of the best all rounders. This car apart that it has brought the sport SAV coupe concept to the industry that today 75% of the designs are copies of it or have been deeply influenced by it, it is now at this 3rd gen keeping the title of the king of this category, being more technologically advanced and luxurius than the Range Rover Sport, the Audi Q8 and Cayenne coupe.
Quite a achievement to have such a breadth of ability. Not feeling it with Matt Priors recent reviews, dare I say it's all a bit flat. Other online reviewers seem to engage and connect better with viewer.
Cant believe everyone's not up in arms that the supercharged v8 is gone. I really miss sliding my XF-R out of corners at low speed. I've had an m6 gran coupe (same s63 engine as in this video) for a few years since the Jag died after aquaplaning on motorway. M6 hasnt moved in the last 18 months. Was going to sell it but I've been driving a diesel 125d for long enough now that I fancy a bit of a summer blast in the m6.
Take those £6,900 carbon alloys off road? _No thank you!_ But if you've just forked out the greater part of £190,000, then stuffing up a set of carbon wheels would be like average Joe dropping a £1 coin down a drain. EDIT - However. I do feel sorry for kids in 20 years time or so. They'll never ever hear in person how glorious a V8 engine sounds while _"on chat"._
Twenty years is very pessimistic, but at some point for sure hearing a great engine being driven on the road in anger will be very rare, indeed, and it will be a sad day for humanity, whenever it comes, IMO. I hope you're wrong about 20 years, but as I'll be 80 if still alive, I can be selfish and be thankful to have lived throughout peak automobile, even if everything else seems to have gone to sh_t. But the fact is that the majority of millennials aren't much interested in cars and seem to be getting the world they want, so good luck to 'em.
@@nigel.w I concur. In 20 years I'll be in my 80's too. In fact, I was born one day before the drop dead gorgeous E-Type was launched. So it's akin to being my twin. OK. It wasn't ever a V8, but who cares with looks like that?
@@thezanzibarbarian5729 I feel similarly about the 911 and the Mustang. The S1 E-Type is not only gorgeous to look at, but is also the most iconic automobile ever, and I personally love the sound of a classic straight-six.
My wife has a Range Rover and if it was left to me we'd have a reliable X5. Just took LR to court and won my compensation. Their dealerships are shite, their staff arrogant. Anyway, why have this when you're straying into 707 territory. The 707 more performance, more exclusivity, more reliable. Dealerships who welcome you. If you want offroad too the 707 can handle a farm work but not as well as the RR. AML all day, every day.
Far too big and heavy to have Sport in its name. Like to see someone drive this with any enthusiasm over the A57 Snake Pass without ending up in the reservoir 😂
This type of car is just so stupid. If you want a performance oriented vehicle, go and buy something that its intended purpose was to go fast. A Range Rover shouldn’t be doing something like this and the price is just obscene
I was with 5 other petrol heads when I opened this post, we all lol !! Stupid price, a sport for a Range Rover has always sounded ridiculous, road tyres no good on wet grass let alone in mud, does anyone really want 626BHP these days, have fun trying to park it, utter nonsense.
@@JohnGuidetti751 Exactly my point who wants it this day and age, I’ve had a V8, need deep pockets but you get to know the petrol station staff well, 😂😂
Awful cars. Almost impossible to insure, they get stolen and the roads are littered with RR's that have broken down. The dealers are awful and there are very few spare parts available. Avoid like the plague!!
Another biased review all because it’s made in the uk . Landrover is utter trash & they needed bmw to make them a proper engine for a start & then u look at the price 🥱🤮 190k is absolutely laughable. Give your head a wobble Landrover
@@bagpusslxv4858 clueless egotistical people with absolutely zero knowledge about cars . See there giving issues already & there only literally released 🤣 jlr never disappoint. Badly made British scrap
For close to £190k I think I would buy a nearly new Porsche Cayenne turbo and a Bentley for motorway mileage old disco for rougher stuff. And still have change for fuel insurance etc for a good many years
This is vapor ware. This car is not for sale and is discontinued. They made 250 last year and sold them before they made them. These videos make no sense since you can’t buy one, EVER.
What’s left of Jaguar are good value but RR are rallly going to town on pricing. In the Uk where income stagnant costs and inflation high it’s annoying on all their models.
The music used during the opening scenes demonstrates perfectly everything that is wrong with this car. If you’re the sort of bell that enjoys that intro, you’ll love this car. Remember when Land Rover made cars for the countryside at a premium yet sensible price. Not an ounce of tinted windows or carbon ceramic, no ‘murdered out’ or heavy cars pushed hard. If you want a fast JLR SUV why wouldn’t you buy the lighter more agile 5 Litre Jaguar F-Pace SVR? It’s just as quick and they aren’t being stolen every 90 seconds - oh and you save £100k 😂😂😂😂😂
The stock wheels and tires always let cars like these down. Also the carbon ceramic brakes sounds like a hilarious choice lol. Gravel and stones can damage the rotors. But a Russian channel compared the outgoing svr against an lx570 both with off-road tires and it did either the same and sometimes better vs the lx.
No one is going to off-road this so it doesn't matter. It'll be driven by mom's on the school run and twats who black out the windows and cruise round suburbs bothering young women and parking on pavements outside chicken shops.
Externally its a definite step back from the previous model. How you make a car look worse than one designed over 12 years ago is impressive. Combine that with a silly price and insurance issues and I suspect this will not sell the way the old model achieved.
185k!!! Is that to cover the warranty claim costs that will be coming a week after you collect it, or are they including 6 months insurance in the price?
![Yailin La Mas Viral, @kreizyk.official - Dale 2 (Remix) [Video Oficial]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/JaYHBzgqz94/mqdefault.jpg)
RR sure gets tons of criticism. …Truth of the matter. People who own them LOVE THEM!!! And the people who don’t sure criticize!!!!!
When they are new, under warranty and on lease.
I think it’s the stereotype of the owners as dbags. Probably not fair, but that’s seems to be the sentiment.
The people who don't, don't have the money to buy one.

Gutted they ditched the home - grown 5.0 V8 for something generic. I don't care if it's objectively inferior, it had its own distinctive character.
Yeah that Supercharged V8 was a gem of an engine, such a great sound and character.
I am pretty sure they made the change because of the strict EPA regulations. Also, they used to put this engine in them in the early 2000s
I have Range rover sports Autobiography since last six month,and iam very satisfied with the car,it's awesome pice of machine.
After Edition One version we can buy regular Sport SV?
intro edit was insane 🔥🔥🔥
Great review Matt- most thorough review I’ve seen of this
I love your reviews and I totally agree with you on the car's abilities.
Damn thus is an awesome video♥️
Should be a better buy in 3 years 👍🏻
I'm sorry, did I hear £185000 before options?
And sold out. Lotta rich people in the world.
@@jerehada Hopefully all abroad export sales. Just what our economy needs.
Unveiling the power
What a waste of money, and look at the depreciation,depressing 😢😢

50d is gone , has been replaced by 45e
Your Range Rover service department will enjoy your Range Rover more than you!

Looks awesome
In comparison to what. It's fat and ugly, perhaps you like that ?
You would have to be unfathomably wealthy to offroad with carbon wheels or ceramic brakes, let alone both.
wish it looked and sounded more aggressive
I’d prefer an Audi RS6 and save a few quid

You wouldn't get insured, it would never be driven off road....... it is a beast though for the school run 😏
NIce review but its been years and we know how you look, how about some dash to road view when driving and not this ever boring podcast view.

so nice
Far too big and heavy to have Sport in its name. Like to see someone drive this with any enthusiasm over the A57 Snake Pass without ending up in the reservoir 😂
Let compare it with other SUV
Older model SVR was better IMO
What noone has mentioned, this monster has 636bhp......in SV trim...
WHAT IN GODS NAME WILL THE SVR HAVE
No more SVR
Budget for a second car you will need while this is in getting fixed on the regular...
X5M with new V8 mild hybrid will wipe floor of this RRS SV regardless has M5 CP engine
Owning a car isn’t just a car wow drag race.,
bmw fanboys summed up in one comment
This type of car is just so stupid. If you want a performance oriented vehicle, go and buy something that its intended purpose was to go fast. A Range Rover shouldn’t be doing something like this and the price is just obscene
Performance SUV’s make absolutely no sense to me. There’s nothing sporty or performance oriented about a big/tall ass, heavy vehicle.
Fell asleep during this
Great car but overpriced and impossible to insure at the moment ….. Shame 😔
Great video. But why do you need a £180k thief attractor? Yeah.. but what are the monthlies..😂
Why are manufacturers using bmw engines so much these days
Their own ones are crap
Insurance for Central London will be about 50k a year.
The problem with insurance is with old RR models not the new Sport or FFRR
they really dropped the jaguar v8 and went for the worst bmw engine????
This vs. the AMG G63?
AMG G63 all day.
Bought by people who don’t care about cost 😂
Not with their own money, but on lease.
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😇😇😇😇😎😎
Range Rovers have become an ugly, compromised, ridiculously expensive car. Who's going to mess up the interior going off road in a £185k car?
Don’t see the point of this ridiculous nickable townie bus. Rurally, too powerful and blingy 👎🏻
terrible value.
UK products are totally not competitive.
Give me the X5 M comp all day long over this junk

Absolutely pointless car. Can't get insurance anyway. Buy an RS6.

Try getting insure on one ! It is a true piece of crap this car.
Amazing that carbon ceramic brake systems save 35 kg’s!!
Rather like someone who is morbidly obese buying low fat cheese and believing its the healthy option.
Well, when they need to be that big the weight savings isn't linear.
Looks like a beast 💪
Mega off-road capability 😂😂😂
Yeah like anyone is going to take that off road 🤣🤣
As a matter of fact, it is very capable.
If Land Rover air suspension didn’t provide enough headaches they throw in a 6 D system and another dozen computers.
Brave is the man who owns a JLR Product out of warranty 🤦♂️
Cool technology but yea outside of warranty id be rather concerned
These cars will never set tyres on a track or a green lane by 99.9% of its customers 😂.
Bold statement but I’d say nine will ever go off road.
You'd be surprised.
so pointless...
Nice to see the next footballer WAG wagon.
I know all the rich mommy’s will drive this because it’s tall and fast 👩

It will break soon 💀🇮🇳

To me if you have specced with carbon fibre wheels & ceramic discs your just telling everyone your lacking brain cells on a thing that heavy..
