A few years back you’d pay a premium for leather and today you pay a premium for leather free materials. Amazing how things change.
I just want cloth to become the luxury option again. Cloth doesn't get burning hot in the sun in the summer, doesn't feel cold in the winter, breathes well, and doesn't require regular conditioning. Toyota and Volvo got it right using wool upholstery.
@@bwofficial1776yeah but a bad spill will affect cloth way worse than leather. cloth is nice though , makes me feel like im driving on a couch
@@scatan6922 forget about a bad spill, even a small coffee/juice spill will leave a permanent mark on cloth seats. It's the same story with stains, even an accidental makeup stain can quickly ruin cloth seats. Leather is just objectively more durable.
@@squre98 my old chevy malibu had cloth seats that i assume had never been cleaned and when i tried i extracted black water for about two hours straight before giving up
soon you will pay more for less horsepower, to save the horses!
It's got serious off road cred. Perfect for trips to Costco, the kids' club sports and playdates and the car detailer!
Also recommended for a long distance trips to Kosovo.
And don't forget the service center, where it will spend a lot of it's life.
@@tyrellcobb4665that’s not everyone’s experience
I never understand this argument when it comes to off road capable SUV. Is everyone in a 911 Turbo S using them primarily for track days? Its a toy just like anything else. It'll spend 1% of its life (at most) using its capability to its fullest. Doesn't make it any less fun/enjoyable to own.
Land rover has always been about capability, like Doug mentioned Mercedes and BMW stopped pursuing that so Land rover is sticking to their roots of being able to go anywhere and being one of the last luxury off road focused brands
The deepest water one of these will see is a puddle in the mall parking lot.
You’d be surprised, when there’s flooded roads the only thing you see going through them in Europe is these things, higher wading depth than a full sized Land Cruiser at 900mm
That seems like an exaggeration
And it’ll probably still have to go to the dealer right after lmaoo
@@Offensivebeast On this side of the pond, these are mainly to impress the neighbors or the rest of the riff-raff at the ski resort parking lot (driving over plowed roads of course).
@@AH-hp5si that is true, however the ones that do use them properly over in the US, really do push them from what I’ve seen online.
Doug, the kind of guy who hangs, used spark plugs on his Christmas tree.
😂😂😂
Why, are you, putting commas, in unnecessary ,,,,locations?
@@banditkeithkingofduelmonsters Sometimes voice to text does that.
😂😂😂😂
It's unconscionable to pay $2k to have non-leather seats and steering wheels when leather is considered the more "premium" product by literally every other car brand.
$2,000 for vinyl (oh sorry, vegan leather). 😂
This is what you call called sheep shearing
@@--SPQR--sheep searing? What is that?
@@user-vx7vi3vq1c "Pleather"
@@purwantiallan5089 Sheep get sheared = those who pay extra for a downgrade like pleather.
Does anyone else get the sense that Doug is bored doing his reviews these days? Especially this one seems like he's just trying to get through it.
I do yes. This One in particular, very much
Because, there’s nothing much to talk about this car in general.
Another luxury SUV? *yawn* I can understand why he wouldn't be super excited about it. He's much more animated when he's reviewing the interesting stuff that comes in through C&B or someone lets him borrow their rare / obscure / never see them anymore car for a review
It's a boring car.
He's reviewed hypercars multiple times in his life, I don't think he's be that excited over a V6 range rover
Doug is the type of guy to write an autobiography about the Range Rover Autobiography.
Range Rover Autobiography is a 7.8/10 car imo.
Funny, I bet people buy these just for the fancy name!
So he himself is a Range Rover?
Wow 🙄
Good thing Land Rover still retained physical controls for climate unlike other brands like BMW and Mercedes which is all in the screen…
I miss some buttons for volume and climate control but you get used to everything else pretty quickly.
The new 2024 models don't have those climate controls !! They integrated the controls for climate and volume into the infotainment. Works horrible, but they think that people will use the voice control for these settings. You can see the changes one the LR website or in other reviews.
Alfa Romeo: What brands exactly?
those stupid ones at land rover literally removed them from now on!!
Absolute deal breaker for me
@@v12-s65 I just found out they removed the buttons and knobs for the 2024 model year, looks like I'll pass on that one as well
It's important to note, this a 2023 model. All 2024 models have the climate controls integrated on the screen.
Which is a real bummer to me
Yeah, Doug is about a year late with this one. Should've also had a 24 model to be up-to-date.
And I absolutely hate it
Agree 👍 why they removed them beats me, fortunately I have the early model with them and love them 😊
Somehow, at least to me, SUVs look like people wearing their pants too high up
You must be a VERY special person yo.
Bronco Sport looks sharp as a hell for a SUV lol. just say you hate SUV's
@@600mikey I do
The sides have all gotten taller to meet side impact standards.
Basically they are fat cars to make fat drivers look slimmer
When Doug mentioned that a Porsche Cayenne starts in the low 80’s it made me realize how insanely expensive pickup trucks have become. Obviously trucks don’t start in the 80s,but it’s not hard to get them there.
THIS! Will be completely depreciated in 10 years.

Just like your looks
Same for every 100k car. What's your point
@@prateek1208 🧢😂😂you don’t know cares because it’s cars right now that’s over 10 years old and cost more then 50k
Does a car other than Ferrari and ultra rare ones like Bugatti still hold their value? lol.
Who in their right mind would pay extra NOT to have leather??? That is insane!
It’s to attract vegans to the car.
To milk rich lefties like Doug himself. They're all hypocrites and flock to this BS. "Let me buy a twin-turbo V8 Range Rover, but also save the world by ordering vegan leather - so I feel less guilty."
@@Rhaspun Fools and their money are quickly parted.LOL!
Green people,you know people that think they're saving the planet.
The same kind of people that would pay over $100k for an ugly unreliable mom-mobile
My mechanic billed me 1500 Dollars for watching this video with a range Rover in it.
I had one of these for a week when my F-Type was in for service the other week. I thought I was going to hate it, but it's genuinely just a nice SUV, and JLR has fixed "most" of the parts of the interior that feel completely awful on my F-type/last gen RR.
Land rover jaguar is owned by Tata motoring out of India lol
The F-Type basically looks as beautiful as the old E-Type.
I did the opposite, went from the rr sport autobiagraphy to an ftype, the interior is disappointing. Still love the f-type, such a beautiful car
Doug the kind of guy to ring you at 3am in the morning to tell you all about his new locking wheel nut.
not to be confused with 3am at night or 3pm in the morning of course
@@jesusdontlikethatimgaybuts9493 that's when different time zones
@@jesusdontlikethatimgaybuts9493You beat me to it. I was going to say, @quirks is the kind of guy to be redundant in his comment about Doug.
@@grmpf different time zones? 3am in any time zone is always 3am, thats what the am is for
@@stratis722 I can't believe I'm the one who's the actual German in this conversation.
It may be beautiful, but she's still going to be unreliable. Definitely a throw your money around type of car
Are you speaking from experience,or you've just heard? Seriously though. Because I'm thinking about buying a Range Rover.
@@kawasakiwhiptwo5821I’m speaking from 3 range rovers worth of experience, if you can afford its maintenance go for it, but it’s not cheap by any means.
@kawasakiwhiptwo5821 they're great cars. I've had 2. But if you buy new, who cares if somethings happens, you'll have a warranty 😊
@@kawasakiwhiptwo5821it’s been well known that Land Rover can be unreliable, but if you’re getting a new one it would have warranty from factory,
Really?
Honestly cant believe we are still seeing piano black in any car these days
Why
@@lieutenant7196gets fingerprints
@@lieutenant7196besides being ugly (which is subjective) it gets dirty really fast and has to always be cleaned daily from finger print smudges. Also, especially in more expensive cars like this, metal or wood would look more high end.
I like piano black
Agree 100%. Obviously, it is cheap, so we can see why they might like that. When I got my Sport, I waited for one with the light gray wood - hides the spots and dust of daily use perfectly. And it is beautiful. It has that very high-end look that @touringmagazine refers to in his/her comment.
Every second rate realtor just got very excited and are currently scrolling all of the different white paint options on the online configurator…
Then they must be doing well and they will be pleased. These are lovely to drive.
Heated steering wheel optional on a $104,000 car? MotoMan would say "lets fix that"
Funny thing is a heated steering wheel comes as standard on a Kia picanto for the UK market, even the top spec picanto costs less than 21k approx
JLR also still has garage door buttons as an option. I would think damn near 100% of their owners have a garage. To not have that be standard is a joke.
And SYNTEHTIC LEATHER is an optional UPGRADE? Damn, I remember when Genuine Leather was considered a PREMIUM FEATURE!
@@jeffs6090 Luxury brands charge extra for everything because they can. They know their buyers aren't looking at lesser cars that may have stuff like that standard. If you're looking at a Range Rover or Porsche, you're probably not cross-shopping a Toyota or Honda.
Haha, my 13,000$ Kia has it.
Unfortunately, minimalism in design does not imply minimalism in price
Doug the type of guy who talk about the bride's quirks and features in the best man's speech.
Thats hilarious🤣😂😂😂😂
@CC-gu3ze Then gives her a Doug Score in comparison to his previous girlfriends 😅
over 100k seems like a lot ? hold my beer....
it costs over 250k euros in Greece😂 (talking about Autobiography, as shown in the video, not the base model)
Yes and your doctors make less than Chipotle managers, sucks to be a Europoor.
how screwed up is the euro ?
It's 400k euros in Turkey, I'm not kidding :)
@@phantomdragon6062 it's not the euro, it's brexit that's screwed. Sales are falling, no one buys this anymore... customs and taxation makes these expensive in the UK.
Usually what happens when broke countries apply insane vat’s
100 grand and the screen still lags lol
can someone explain why they aren't putting full-blown gaming computers in cars this expensive?
Micro chip shortage is holding back the car industry from its true potential once the shortage is over your going to see every brand start to blow your mind
Perhaps some people wish they had the sport over the x5 or GLE. But everyone? Doug is off his rocker
He's fair though. Where you always see the X5 or GLE the average upper middle class middle aged man would rather choose this
@@v12-s65 not true at all. many people can "afford" the range rover sport but choose other cars. my dad has owned a (new at the time) 7 series, loaded 5 series, various lexus models, 2 x5s, a land cruiser etc., he test drove the sport twice each time before being each x5 and liked the x5 more in every way.
@@smar1208
so uhm cause your dad has been so that means everybody else has?
Here in Switzerland there are simply too many GLEs and X5s, people want to differ now.
Maseratis and Ranges are selling currently.
You almost never see a Lexus here in middle europe though.
Personally I think the X5 doesn't ride as nice as the Range and the music system (h/k is garbage, bowers can be good) isn't as nice as the signature reference in the 2021 sport.
Also in my opinion the previous sport had menacing design
Q7 is bette rthan the rrs
@@v12-s65 nope, I have the bowers & wilkins on my bmw iX and absolutely blows away the meridian signature I had on my previous velar. It's among the best sound systems in the world.
Dials with Screens together is the sweet spot
100%. !!
They already got rid of the buttons for the 24 year car , the one in the video is 22 and 23
@@kameronchristie5878i really don't get why, they were amazing
Doug DeMuro - the kind of guy who on Sunday, releases a video about how bad buttons and knobs are in cars today... then on Tuesday, releases a video _praising_ Range Rover for including knobs for the climate controls.
Let's be honest. Not a lot of people use 3rd row seating in $100k SUV
True, rarely use the second row too lol.
Yes. I’ll take the luggage room over 3rd row seats any time.
3rd row seating is great for families with a lot of children, but for adults most SUV’s 3rd row is terrible. Auto companies treat it like an after thought, mostly for marketing purposes.
@@12point131 get a minivan if you have dozens of offsprings. At least in minivans 3rd row is an actual row
@@12point131 If people need to carry a lot of people they should buy a minivan.
I wish the V8 was available on other trims aside from the autobiography
It’s not? That’s too bad. I have the big Range Rover with the v8…..and it’s a great engine (of course it is….its from bmw).
(Casually drowns in rising sea levels)
SV will have the BMW V8 as well
For 2025 it's available in the Dynamic SE trim
Why? Land rover and jaguar are owned by Tata motoring, an Indian company
For years I always considered Range Rovers to be overpriced and overrated… until I drove a Sport and HSE.
Yes, you’re playing maintenance roulette when they start to climb in miles but damn, they really do check every box you could ever want.
Many things that you can't see add to value. Infra-red coatings on windows along with UV... your arm doesn't get warm resting on the window ledge despite full sun... you don't get blasted opening door in hot parking lots. Ip67 rated wiring connectors for keeping water out of computers and harness. Arriving after a 5 hour drive and feeling rested instead of beat... they are worth the extra outlay.
If you want a sporty suv it doesn't check the box
@@jeffreyjones3616 Every car has waterproof connectors and sealed computers so nothing shorts out in the rain. My Subaru has IR-blocking glass that works very well. The Range Rover isn't that special.
@@bwofficial1776 cool. Didn't know that subaru was doing IR too. It's nice to have.
@@bwofficial1776 I'm positive that most manufactures don't do ip67 where they can be submerged in several feet of water for 30 minutes without intrusion and can take water jet sprays.. that isconsidered "waterproof"... not just water resistant ... not trying to knock your subaru... but get in a rover and you can't not admit the difference... and yes there is a difference in cost... what.. 20 to 30% more?
1:22 The starting price is 85,175 $. 16:20 the plug-in powertrain (460e) is the 3.0 i6 with 460 hp. The V8 has 523 hp but is just a mild-hybrid (MHEV) not an plug-in (PHEV) !!
I'm already looking forward to watching a Samcrac video in 2036, buying at Copart auction for US$ 4700 with a lot of problems.
What's Samrac
@9:05 my 2020 explorer limited actually has a button for this
I work at Land Rover now after working at hyundai for like a month lol
It’s unbelievable how many 100k-250k cars are SOLD before even hitting the showroom floor 😳
Yep. They're ordered months and sometimes years in advance so once they arrive at the dealership, they're usually already taken but the dealership still put them on display.
@@chifineartwe dont even have time to display them 😅 we only have 1 available full size Range Rover for display because its an SV that the customer couldn’t afford once it came in (understandably)
You should see how these things are built or thrown together by guys in Halewood Merseyside.
@@paulie-Gualtieri. I’d rather not know and feel guilty while the customers get so happy to pick them up 😂😂
There are many sellers of white sugars.
Awesome review Doug! Something to note is that they actually changed the centre console from 2023 to 2024 model year. Now there is no buttons and all controls are on screen. This also fixes the issue with phone launching out of charging place as there is a dedicated sport with cover for it now!
Proud to have worked on the car!
Every mechanic ever 😂
Always privileged.
Been working on them for years, they keep breaking. Also proud since it's good for business.
@@cowboyanimal6700 🤣
@@cowboyanimal6700he probably meant on the software. I worked on lincoln software.
This is a 2023 model. The 24/25 doesn't have the buttons for air conditioning or drive select. It is implemented very well in the screen though.
I'm still grieving for those buttons, i loved them and now they are gone. Why range rover?
Black piano still in use nowadays is such a shame
Those two dials with multippe functions is awesome. Its still a physical control but its multiple things integrated into one
Never realized it b4 but purples a pretty good color on Doug it really brings out his eyes
Pay an extra 2 grand for the Prop 65 interior? You gotta be kidding me!
Lighted seatbelt buckles. That's a good idea.
14:05 I don't always buy wine bottles, but when I do, I carry them in my Range Rover Sport Autobiography...
Land rovers driving position has always reminded me of the 4 runner which I intend as a tremendous complement. You don't just sit up high but you are in a relatively vertical position too which enhances all around visibility.
Hold on, what?! PAY to go leather-free?!! Last I checked leather was always an upcharge. Anything non-leather was always less. But now it's pay MORE to be leather-FREE?! Oh, what a world we live in. A fool and his money part ways... :/
THIS! Will break down as soon as you drive it off the lot.
if you're worried about such things, you can't afford it. peasant.
Are you talking from previous ownership or just saying what everybody says?
Hey, good review Doug, and I love the review!
Can you please give me a recommendation? I am living in the U.S. and do not know what to choose between this G-63, a Range Rover Autobiography or an electrical vehicle? I want a daily vehicle that is going to stay with me for a long time in the future! Thanks!
The section divider in the boot is a perfect dog gate / door to stop them jumping out or getting in way of closing electric tailgate. Clever.
Do I plan to ever buy a Land Rover? No. Did I watch this entire video? Yes.
Completely redesigned? I see the same box with slightly changes in the taillights that’s all
I can say the same with new Mercedes designs, they are nothing but boring
I wonder who makes that rear-view mirror camera system.. It's shared with the range rover sport by various other vehicles ranging from the Ferrari SP3 to the RAV4 Prime
11:20 that's weird...I rode in the back seat of a GX460 (previous generation) and the it didn't feel tight. Maybe Lexus reduced rear seat legroom for this generation. The front seats have always been quite tight on the GX though.
Why always the crap piano black plastic in every car nowadays?😂
new car and all interior that glossy is already scratched to death. imagine what its gonna be like in 5-7 years...
Dougs next video “I just sold my TRD pro sequoia and bought a 2024 autobiography sport Land Rover”
Finally some LR reviews. Thank you Doug!!
At least with an Escalade, all the really expensive mechanical bits can be found at the nearest Chevy dealership.
Land Rover vehicles should have a Depreciation Gauge next to the Speedometer.
😃😆😅😂🤣
Actually they don't, if you keep it for 1-2 years they don't depreciate that much, after that it's probably the same for every luxury car. I sold my 2023 RR sport for 20k more than what i bought it for
@@alev7130What do you drive now?
@@filbao8113 a Jaguar ftype
Great review ❤ I love my p400 just about the right balance in the whole range 😊
I believe the window styling is called “frameless window.” It allows for better design lines, but it’s also practical, reducing potential leak points.
Totally new, yet looks just like the old one 🤣
I had a 2015 Sport with the Supercharged V8 and it was a glorious vehicle. Impeccable reliability too.
Lies.
Buddies got jokes
It's either you kept up with maintenance (which is going to be expensive and cumbersome considering it was an expensive luxury SUV when new) or you were just lucky. Which one was it?
@@damilolaakanniimagine not maintaining a luxury car. Ofc it would go wrong😂
@@superfried9550only thing that ever went wrong was a little exhaust leak at 90k miles. That is the truth.
I think those fancy dials with screens that can be multifunction are a good solution, for integrating multiple controls without burying them in some dense infotainment system.
What percentage of the price is based on expected warranty repair costs? 80%?
Nice depreciating asset!
Will look even better when sitting at the mechanic
Some really interesting button design and layout.
9:53 hey my JL jeep has this! It’s just a plaque on the tailgate though 😂
I've had car dealers tell me you can hear Range Rovers breaking just sitting on the lot.
🤣🤣😭😭😂😂🍻
That is just so funny. Well done. Do you do 'stand up'?
@@colinhare4722 It's the truth whether you think it's funny or not. I was stating what I was told by a car dealer about them, you must own one.

@@joestuff8 nope - current G-wagon will wade 70 cm.
What about discussing the ride heights are also now in the infotainment system. Not physical buttons I still don’t get how they work
I gotta say that cargo divider is brilliant.
It’s got it all … except any reliability lol
Hi Doug
theyre charging you to remove the leather and give you cheaper fake leather 🤣
headlights kind of looks like the range rover copy in GTA V..
I’m English and I wouldn’t touch one with a bargepole as we say in England 😂😂😂😂🏴🇬🇧
You can't even if you wanted to. They are uninsurable because of so many thefts. Not even kidding.
Absolutely
You forgot to mention that its gonna depreciate like hell, and all those fancy gadgets will break within the first few months of ownership
It's not, i mean after 5-6 years yes, like any luxury cars. But if you keep it for 1-2 years It doesn't depreciate that much, i actually sold mine for 20k more 1 year later
100 series Land Cruiser also had cieling climate vents. ‘98-‘07
Lexus LS460 in 2007 also had lighted seatbelt buckles. Nearly 20 years ago. The earlier LS430 may also have had it, not sure.
Honda brv also has ceiling climate vents and Toyota hiace , as do a lot of the bigger cars in south Asia. It's quite interesting because in western cars the size of a hiace or brv they tend to put it in the b or c pillars or in the back of the centre console. But Japanese/ South Asian large cars tend to have it in the ceiling
Actually just saw one of these this morning when I went to Einstein's for a bagel. I was wondering what trim that was
Land Rover interior design: Half as many buttons that.. .break twice as often.
Please do the 2001 Z M coupe!!!
I want the quirks and features of your new desk chair set of wheels
I wish you reviewed the powertrain more. You have a global audience, and this is still sold in many markets. If you like the I6, then I6 + 140hp e-motor sounds great.
Yes i had the p510e, it's a very good engine, it has plenty of torque
Looks like a Ford Explorer to me!
Previous gen looks way better
Agreed, Both exterior and interior in my opinion.
The slim, flush, adjustable wide-screen paired with the climate-control screen below was great. A “mounted iPad” for an infotainment screen is not an upgrade
Doug, the lights from the mirror looks like your t-shirt. You should love it. What do you mean it's a bit to much?
I have the same chair as Doug lol 🤣 same color and everything. I bet he got his from a Stapes store too
I wonder how many of these are actually purchased rather than leased. Given their lack of reliability and poor resale value, it seems like an odd duck to own outright
These are holding pretty well at the moment, I’d say once all the leases expire the prices will plummet.
I always have done better purchasing and trading before 30k miles so that dealer could set em up as certified preowned. Lease would have been more expensive... do you think that the dealer lease program doesn't account for depreciation too? 😂
They are actually selling a lot of them and resale value Is very good, at least here in Europe. I sold mine for 20k more than what i bought it for
I may be wrong but it looks like a Ford Explorer to me
It's weird. I thought the previous Explorer looked like it 'borrowed' many of the older Rover's design features. However now the new Rover decided to incorporate the 'unique' Explorer elements into their new design... It's like they're cribbing off of each other! lol And I still don't know how Ford didn't get any complaints for completely copying the iconic Aston Martin Grille design for their 2013-2020 Focus models
Love that Doug’s videos are now filmed on the Cheyenne US Air Force underground complex campus 😂
I had an 04 Discovery S fully at home on a trail, I would be worried about this with scratches etc.
Imagine spending over $80k just to look like a Ford explorer sport. 😂
Looks nothing like an Explorer though 😂
For a second I though Doug would say this is a 2011 Ford Edge
Some nice use of physical controls here. I'm sure in the near future, Tesla style screen-only controls are going to be seen as a budget low-end option.
does anyone know the mpg? I saw 51 or something in the 50s, but cant find anything ceritified that i know. I also dont know alot but interested in mpg if u cant tell.
THIS!!!
Switch between drive and reverse with a single push/pull of the gear lever. That's nice. Needlessly complicated in some other cars.
What do you think about the reliability problems? Its one of my biggest concerns about LRover
I was driving past one of these in black on the freeway yesterday and noticed the flat paintwork. Including the one shown in Doug’s video, why does the paint work not have the lustre and reflectiveness of previous models or other premium brands?!
If I were silly and wealthy enough to buy a RangeRover, I expect to be able to see a reflection in the paint work.
