"Urban Assault Vehicle" - Best. Comment. Ever.
Back in the 80s and 90s when I was into off roading we use to call them Pavement Pounders.
Andrea: It's hot! It has such a great road presence, I mean it's a tough one to beat. It's muscular! It's sexy! It's sleek! It's sporty! All rolled into one.
Zack: But what about the car Andrea, you're talking about me! 😂
I wasn't feeling well but Zack's humor made me felt better. 😆
I am not even into cars and don't even own one. I have a driver's license, but I haven't been on the road driving except when I was learning how to drive and when I took my test 😅 But oddly, watching your videos has been an enjoyable form of therapy and education.
Keep it up!
Wow, thanks for this!
Thank you so much, very nice of you to say.
@@andreaspencer9813Thank you. As a female, I admire you as a driver. I'm an absolute novice when it comes to driving and I hope one day I will be able to emulate your confidence and knowledge.
More power to your channel!
JLR needs to organize a Manhattan Project internally to conquer their reliability issues. They do so much engineering and design right, and then they shoot themselves in the foot year after year by not producing a vehicle (especially one that pushes offroad chops) that isn't relatively reliable. It's so frustrating.
How can they not do bluetooth in 2023!! Just outsource it!!!
@@amirjon Like Ford's sync by Microsoft, it worked well. The only reason windows has problems is advert nonsense and you don't have that in automobile software...yet.
Although I have never been a JLR fans. But your channel continues to provide great reviews, nonetheless.
This car is the perfect example why reliability is priceless. Bells and whistles are really nice until they fall off. 😂😂
You just need to have enough money to get the next one before your current one falls off
ur better off with a Lexus or Acura :), I wouldn''t buy one Rover anyways!
@@cheezybread7783 i mean acura looks like they are stuck in the 2010s. I can see why people wanting to buy range rovers instead
@@cheezybread7783
Acura are not reliable
@@sentryion3106 This is accurate. I can not speak for everyone but as a Range Rover owner, I lease. At the end of 3 years I am moving on to the next model.
I've been watching your reviews for quite a while.
I have to say that you guys stand out because the friendly,charming and professional style.
Both very professional.
Andrea is purely sophisticated,and is the cherry on top of this channel.
Keep it up
Thank you so much! 🙏
Andrea makes about 80% of the show !
Hey Andrea! Back from the South of France. What a place! If you want to test cars, THAT'S the place to be! Question: Are mat finish paint jobs more difficult to keep clean? I'm thinking since the paint isn't as glossy, that dirt might stick to it more. What has your (or Zack's) experience been with keeping mat paint clean as opposed to gloss. Thanks!
Love the video guys..... could you also please drop a review on the updated Velar☺
The matte paint tends to be harder to match because the texture of the paint has to be spot on to look correct. If the paint goes on too light it can look flat and too heavy can be more like a semi-gloss.
It's a shame they removed the HVAC controls for the 24MY.
Hi! You make great videos. You have an entertaining dynamic and provide well-researched information. Thank you for this :)
I'm wondering if you have plans for a video that explains the differences between the new Range Rover and Range Rover Sport. In the past, it was easier to tell the difference in what they provided. Now, they look and seem very similar, including nearly identical interior designs and dimensions.
I've watched some videos that try to explain the differences, but didn't seem well researched... For some, they didn't even cover differences I already knew, like the split vs traditional tailgates. In the end, they essentially note that these are mostly the same and which to buy comes down to aesthetic preferences.
However, when building these vehicles to what seems like nearly identical specifications, the Range Rover PHEV is nearly 20K USD more than the Range Rover Sport PHEV. It doesn't seem logical that there wouldn't be more to that price difference than design. But maybe I'm wrong... After all, buying a Land Rover is more of a passionate endeavor than a logical one...
Apologies for the long comment and thanks again for the great content! Stay well :)
Another great review. I believe matt paint is harder to look after in terms of washing the car. And LR charge a pretty penny for it. A matt wrap might be cheaper and easier repair if there was ever a scratch.
Excellent video, phenomenal work team
One of the best reviews ive seen
I bought a 2018 BMW 328d in 2021 with 19k miles. In the first year I owned it, it spent over 2 months in the shop because my fuel pump exploded... twice. Of course that happened before they notified me that the fuel pump was recalled. Even with all of the troubles I've had, I would buy 10 more diesel cars. I can go about 550-600 miles on a tiny 15-gallon tank and it feels so good!!
If Land Rover believed in their own product, they would offer a 10 Year/100K Bumper to Bumper Warranty, the fact they offer one of shorter warranty tells you everything you need to know, if they don't trust it, why should we
0:06 You can see the coffe cups going backward as Andrea stepped on the gas. Nice vehicle.
Amazing vehicle review at first glance... thanks Andrea and Zack!
Hello--nice video
smooth driving --cool
what a great review! I absolutely love the way you guys flawlessly cover topic by topic. just one thing I wanna say - in my view, germans are NOT direct competitors to RRS because they are NOT in a luxury segment of the market. RRS is a peace of true luxury in every single inch of it, disregarding reliability 🙂
Great review guys, I have had 5 JLR products and they have all had some issues, but then again so have my BMW X6, middle of Jan in a snow storm, drivers window went down and wouldn't come back up, V10 M5 spent more time in the shop than on the road. M/B E63, endless transmission programming issues. So all the cars/brands I've had have not been perfect, but I will keep coming back to Range Rover as the ride is truly sublime, and the foul weather capability and confidence, second to none! Reliability, meh, any high end car with as many sensors and complex driving dynamics will have issues. What bulletproof reliability, buy a Toyota/Lexus, want to feel great and have the ability to go off to the road less travelled in comfort, style and confidence with capability off - road, Land Rover or Range Rover. The big shame with the group is Jaguar.... That was such an icon of luxury, it was held in the same esteem as Bentley and Roll Royce back in the day. Through the "checkered" ownership, it truly lost its way. I hope JLR can bring back the "J" to the former days of glory it had.
great video, we have this model son order, and this will be our third range rover sport. the issue with reliability is non sense, we had more trouble with BMW X5 and Acura MDX and Porsche Cayenne than we ever had with RRS.
great prestigious and Fun SUV to drive
Hi guys another great review - I was sitting here in Edinburgh Airport watching the video and I kept noticing that the driver’s door does not match the rest of the car hence I am guessing why, Zack, you have been asking for opinions from body shops on how difficult it might be to re-spray!
Obviously had some ‘sun standard’ paint refinishing!😬
Been waiting for this video Andrea. What a smooth looking car. Land Rover with sporty side skirts! Never thought I'd see the day. Be careful at the four seasons Andrea lol
Such a gorgeous SUV!
@@andreaspencer9813 Absolutely wins hands down.
I've been watching Zack for 20 years, wow we are getting old!
Great video guys. I've just taken delivery of the D350 Autobiography. Here in Wales diesel is still an option and a very good one. I traded in a 2019 Velar P300 which over 29K miles was faultless. Only one Velar problem, excessive brake wear. Delighted to note Land Rover now specifies Brembo.
Fingers crossed the new Sports stays reliable.
How has it been? I really want to get this car
@volvo_3877 to be honest one word: faultless. Fantastic car. Performance from the 3 litre diesel is excellent. Plenty of torque for ease of overtake.
So frugal, 40 mpg is the normal. With 45 on longer runs.
It's just brilliant. And I'm not just saying that because I bought one. I'm an enthusiastic driver, also own BMW z4 M40, frankly prefer driving the RR Sport.
Guys great channel, very insightful reviews, been waiting for a JLR RR sport video, I'm considering buying this vehicle LR - RR Sport 440BHP hybrid vs BMW X640i, which do you recommend more for a Regular driving situation, keeping in mind its not a constant daily driver as the daily is a Tesla M3 Performace. I live in Abu Dhabi, upgrading from a 2016 X650i, any suggestions? (Or is it worth spending the extra 20K to get the V8 from both models)
We’ve had 2020 Evoque for 65k miles. Just tires and oil. 2023 Velar for 16k miles and 2023 Defender 6k miles. Every once in while the privi pro software glitches. Otherwise very well built and reliable. I think they are doing better on reliability.
I own a 2020 Velar P380 HSE R-Dynamic with 22 inch wheels and all black with rare red accent on front bumper, hood and rear and black out package and rebadged. Only one oxygen sensor in 3 years covered by warranty. Was worried about reliability but so far it has been reliable.
That’s barely any miles, once you get to 100k plus then give it some credit
Those are the perfect sandals for you to do some nice long pedal pumping videos!
If I were loaded and only drove in safe areas I would definitely lease one of these for 3 yrs!
Great review! Would you prefer this over a Jaguar?
Wow, the All-New 2023 Range Rover Sport is an absolute beast!

Handsome vehicle but cough cough the price. Great video Andrea!! 👍🏻👍🏻☕️☕️
Speaking of the paint ,, this one has the left front fender and driver door not matching with the left rear door
I noticed too in multiple frames. Optical illusion? Don’t think so…
Funny about the coffee 😂. Can you give this US gal some Tim Hortons Love? Since moving from Detroit, Michigan/Windsor area…I can’t get it anymore 😢. Great Volg, as always 😊
A solid ride yes indeed, a nice design as well
This colour makes it pop!
A beautiful looking SUV both exterior and interior. Just hope they can get better reliability in the coming years. Also another great review guys 👍👍
Does it have sun blinders?
Has reliability improved ? Excellent question ! 👍.
will you be reviewing the chevy blazer
Land Rover is kicking BUTT keep it up guys ! 😊👍
If all I want to do is grocery shopping or go to the office, it really doesn't matter which suv I buy. I would only care about the RR if I was interested in going off road in addition to the office.
You guys love your Porsche Cayenne, and rightly so, how do rate the Range Rover Sport in comparison, there or still shy of the mark?
This is an ultra luxury premium SUV. The reliability is on par with its rivals. Anybody that says differently is a poor sap that cannot afford and should not be driving this vehicle. Maintenance costs and service intervals are far superior (lower cost and longer duration) to its German competition. Nobody talks about this due to their limited understanding. Range Rover owners are a class above the rest!
Love this car ❤
Yeah, I saw this one a few weeks ago and I was amazed. I do wonder if they can get their EV plans going maybe, just maybe they will have a reliable vehicles. I know, I know that's controversial to the diesel and ICE lovers out there.
I have to admit I miss diesels. 30 years ago, I had a VW diesel and got an average of 900km on a tank. 1000km when driving purely on the highway.
My parents had 2 car with 1.9 tdi, and I used one for a year and a tank got you 1300-1400 km. Then a 2.0 and a 1.6, but those did a bit worse
It looks like the paint is slightly mis-matched on the driver's door in some angles. I suspect that is due to what Zack mentioned about how difficult it is to do touch ups on a matte finish paint. Not a good look on such an expensive vehicle.
nice car. Zack and Andrea is a great perfect endorser.
My fancy neighbor used to have a Range Rover and a Discovery. He just replaced them with Porsche Cayenne and an MB GLC. That says something to me.
A fabulous car to lease.
I have a 2023 Defender with this same P400 motor, zero issues! I drive quite a bit too as the vehicle is 6 months old and I already have 11,500 miles on the dash! Far more reliable than my BMWs!
bla bla dude
@@user-jf8gd3lv7q hilarious
2017 RRS TDv6 owner here with less than 80k kms - engine crankshaft broke, truck broke down on the Coquihalla. Get rid of those diesels before the warranty is up. Bill came back from LR Vancouver for $50,000! Get a plug-in hybrid if you want fuel savings. Diesels are done now in North America except American companies.
Not so proud last gen RRS 3L diesel owner here, bought it brand new in late 2018 as a 2019 model, electronic issue within 2 weeks, in less than 2 years ownership, it spent collectively more than 7 months in the dealership to be fixed (not due to accident or thanks lord not causing any accident). The problem is so deep, sometimes the technicians at the dealership weren’t able to diagnose what the problem is on the spot. Kind of like some complex syndrome needs many tests and diagnostics before it can be fixed. Although everything is free because it was well within warranty, the time my wife and me had to spend on (rather than working to make money) and stress it brought are just too big and not worth whatever nice complimentary small gifts (like champagne and courtesy car) the dealership offered. The only good thing after so many repairs is that the dealership was nice enough to allow us to sell it back to it and cover the gap for lease. I will never ever buy a JLR product again. As shit as it gets. Looks fancy and very expensive but extremely low quality and these problems are not usually identified from outside, all hidden deep inside and can be deceptive.
All the same issues with mine, 2020 RRS v8 in the shop every 3-4 months with a new issue. I’ve had 4 Range Rovers and all have been headaches. Ive heard the reliability has not improved with the new ones either. Cant wait to get rid or it
One of the things that is really interesting to me is when I looked at the outside view, say at 5:41, and it seems like there are two different paint colors on the driver's door vs. the rear passenger door and rear quarter panel. It looks like the SUV was painted at two different times or something. This is how some vehicles appear after an accident or incident with a door and they only repair and paint one door. Bizarre look for a new vehicle; it makes me question the painting process and long-term appearance.
I noticed that too!
Was thinking exactly the same thing. More poor JLR quality?
Love matte paint..
Ive had 6 landrovers. Never ever had an issue with reliability. BMW in my opinion has more issues these days especially with the interior tech.
Can it handle pot holes and broken roads without breaking?
10:02 that is far from a traditional shifter. It's one of those unintuitive electronic mono-stable shifters.
I am English and I don’t drink tea just coffee for me
Love the Range Rover sport
HOLA...Please correct me if I am wrong, but I seem to recall reading somewhere recently, that Land Rover(parent company of Range Rover of course) is now offering a FIVE YEAR UNLIMITED WARRANTY
on all new models...? If so then Hopefully this reassurance will finally lay to rest the "Reliability Issues"
the brand has suffered in the past..?
Terrific video and understandable comments on reliability. But don’t runaway with the idea that they all have problems all the time. They don’t. I’m on my 5th LR and have never had issues with any of them. Perhaps the day will come……
Definitely buy this vehicle if you know a certified mechanic who specializes in repairing Range Rovers. This brand is infamous in the auto industry for bootlegged maintenance
I own a 2020 Velar P380 HSE R-Dynamic with 22 inch wheels and all black with rare red accent on front bumper, hood and rear and black out package and rebadged. Only one oxygen sensor in 3 years covered by warranty. Was worried about reliability but so far it has been reliable.
Beautiful 🥰😍💘🌻 and breathtaking SUV, both interior and exterior, but the price is not only ridiculous, but completely insane.$236 000 is madness.
Can't wait to buy one in a few years to play around with: For about 20 percent of MSRP ;-)
14:43 the all-red brake/indicator combination lamps are a big fail. They're not like that over in Coventry. Why do European brands downgrade their taillights for North American customers?
beautiful.. I'll take 2 please.
thanks
02:58 I am pretty sure that is a check engine light - how come this wasn't mentioned in the reliability section?
I think you are correct, right side, above the gear shift
Why do they depreciate so drastically??
Because they're unreliable money pits
Which car doesn’t? Toyota?
2024 Cayenne Vs. New RRS. Which one do you recommend more for family SUV?
Contemplating the same!
I feel complete now that I know you really drink coffee in your videos... I would have been devastated if I had found out that those cups had no coffee.
LOVE coffee!
@@andreaspencer9813 Me too.
15:36 the comment on reliability begins... and the comment is "the product has only just been released, so we will have to wait to see""
For what its worth my wife has a 2020 Range Rover sport and it has needed more repairs than any other car weve ever owned
It pretty reliable now!😊
Definitely a lease only car, and for those who have multiple cars to drive when this one is inevitably being fixed at that. But God is it gorgeous; why can't Lexus build a car that looks this good, inside and out? Having said that, the new Lexus GX looks interesting and is a nice departure from Lexus' recent design language.
I’ve owned several land rovers over the years in the uk 🇬🇧, I always get rid of them just before the 3 year manufacturer warranty runs out. Not sure how many years warranty you get in North America. One can always get an extended warranty from the manufacturer after the 3 year warranty expires
I think it is a 4 year warranty in the US and while you can get an extended warranty, the cost is outrageously high - as much as I’d love one of these, it seems like JLR would rather you put extra money where their mouth is as they have little to no confidence in their own reliability.
JLR reliability is like Apple battery life. Its not a problem just people like talking about it. Had many rangerovers and had very little problems.
Great review as usual, thanks. I love that you don't edit out your disagreements.
Please consider including Nm and litres for boot space for your non North American followers so that we don't have to pause the videos to do the conversion.
Again, thanks.
You guys have invented a new vehicle category: ‘UAV with no reliability!’
I don’t understand why people like to be able to to 1,000 km per tank. I recently did a round trip from Minnesota to Key West Florida, my bladder and legs demanded I take break every 3 hours.
Crazy how after many years they still haven’t figured out the reliability thing, and even crazier people still buy them.
I absolutely love (most) Land Rover products. In my opinion, a Range Rover still holds true as the Best 4x4xFar. As an erstwhile apprentice mechanic (LRJ/Rolls Royce - mid 90’s), I’m slightly biased. At best, Land Rover has an assiduous approach with their R&D and Design teams. They can be almost timeless. At worst…they can be the most expensive vehicle by far to buy, in regards to their maintenance/reliability and depreciation. If I were in a better financial position, if I had the bucks… I cannot think of a better luxury SUV. Just be warned… Do NOT ever consider purchasing any (non-CPO) Land Rover products available on the many ‘Used Car Lots’ for under $10,000. It could be your biggest mistake ever. Thanks for the video.
I can think of,a better one, G class, since both brands are just status symbols. I can really imagine buying a Land Rover, so little interior color and material options and old tech, a Mercedes is a no brained, and a new Land Rover at most has what a 2005 S class did. Otherwise a Cayenne, with a diesel no repairs up to a million km
The Cayenne is an absolute gem… fact. But the G-Class, to me at least, feels far too tight, is too industrial (look and interior) and just doesn’t quite have the Regal presence of a proper Range Rover. The G’s are credibly spectacular SUV’s, but luxury was an afterthought. I remember when the G-wagons first went more upscale. I was hoping that they’d be like an S-Class with a legendary 4WD system. Instead, they were like a Jeep YJ (square headlight years) decked out with a MB C-Class interior. Although they have greatly improved the G-wagon, they just do not have the presence of a Range Rover (Autobiography, ideally). But your points and logic are valid. Cheers.
Marketing does wonders don’t it 😅
If I saw you in my area I would care less about the car I’ll be looking at the driver 😍😍😍
Looks like it made it through the test drive without going into limp mode or breaking down……..😂
My friend's sport has half car replaced. lol
I see you two in a 2023 Range Rover Sport, but a Porche Cheyanne should do...
Regarding this Range Rover Sport (& Defender or any other Land Rover product) you mention “dependability” from the report you mentioned, but later you mention “you hope that Land Rover” can overcome their “reliability” issues. These are two very different things, so are you using those words interchangeably?
Most modern vehicle manufacturers make all of their engines and drive trains last nothing less than 150k miles. There may be some electronic gremlins, and other minor things go wrong, but I can’t imagine anything major failing on one of these new Land Rovers or Range Rovers.
Am I the one person to notice that the drivers door is a different color than the other panels on the vehicle 😳
I’d recommend leasing it but I wouldn’t buy it. Also get a glass option on your insurance because that front windshield is ridiculously expensive to change
When you accelerate I completely sure you use at least 2 gallons
Very nice looking vehicle.Would not touch it with a ten foot pole.The new Lexus looks intriguing .Not quite the cache but you know it's reliable.
I own a 2020 Velar P380 HSE R-Dynamic with 22 inch wheels and all black with rare red accent on front bumper, hood and rear and black out package and rebadged. Only one oxygen sensor in 3 years covered by warranty. Was worried about reliability but so far it has been reliable.
Andrea said, the range rover sport its muscular, sexy, sleek, sporty dynamic feel, I kinda love the feel but Andrea you are more sexy than range rover sport. I like Andrea voice, very clear and articulate.
Me watching the review of the 100 grand Land Rover after down grading my aspirations from a Kia sportage to the seltos for less cash ….
Such s beautiful suv but it sucks that the reliability is what its Achilles' heel. Now they using the bmw v8 again will that further it down
Great car to lease and dump at the end.
Love these reviews! Are the coffee cups reusable/recycled? Just thinking from an environmental standpoint.
Recycle coffee cups? Really? That is your concern........here is a thought, take a sea trip on a raft and land on some deserted island, this way you can be as environmental as you wish! The rest of us are here to watch a review of this Range Rover. SMH
Wait until 2024 until the V8 606hp SV comes out.
