- The new 2022 Range Rover has just gone on sale and I spent a few days with one to see what it's like to live with and how it compares to our 2021 Range Rover. Here's what I found out..

Been waiting for Harry's review. The one that really matters.
yep, you can ALWAYS rely on harry to give a BIASED review on the cars and company he`s an advisor too..........
Now you seen his review are you going to buy one ?
@@zgpm7031 yes the one that is 16 years old
@@t5jerry why do you say that?
get your 150 grand ready Paul!.... thought not.
I'm impressed with the way the designers have made it appear smaller than it really is, and the clean lines give it a bit of class. Seeing as I'm only ever going to appreciate such a vehicle when it drives past me, it's the most important aspect.
Its the wheels. They are so massive that the make the car look like a evoque
Very huge to me
I truly believe deep in my soul that you are very capable/deserving of anything the rest of us are. BUT I GET IT! Please keep the faith. On another note, I don't think this model is as nice as the Gold , white, red or black 2023
The comments regarding design resonated with me. Clean, clear, defined…. this is how premium/luxury is done and what BMW is being challenged with currently.
Agreed. What thinking person would buy anything else at any price. The only thing that comes close is also British made, by Aston Martin.
@@chestnut01111 What about Porsche ?
@@ioannisangelopoulos9004 absolutely useless off road. Had a velar and now a macan. different beats good at different jobs.
Range Rover is like that Perfect Woman...
*Elegant, Posh and Classy.*
yet significantly Low Maintainence
@@beauchamphuberville1355 We have had the Cayenne Turbo 2013 for a while and thinking about a change, we also had the RR Sport 2011 which was really unreliable (we changed engines 2 times...). But I'm really into this dilemma; Cayenne Coupe S or RR Sport 3.0?
I was worried that JLR might react to the shock tactics adopted by BMW and Merc and go all ugly or glitzy to get attention. Amazingly they have actually gone for a cleaner, more elegant design over the previous gen car. Only time will tell if this strategy works in key markets, but for me its a winner - beautiful car and all respect to JLR for a top job.
Have you seen the pop out door handles on the RR?And your talking about BMW/Merc been glitzy to get attention…
BMWs are now just plain ugly.
1 year of production sold already
Now that the CCP have (needlessly) killed their economy, perhaps there will be fewer new-affluent buyers and less of a motivation to produce the newer generation of uglified bling machines?!
@@johnguidetti5839 look at the X7 with its hideous face and tell us the door handles matter... Just look like every EV's handles now.
Such a difference and a better review from other reviewers, due to being a lifelong RR buyer rather than only ever driving one at the press launch like other journalist's. Great job.
The opening scene made me laugh out loud. I absolutely love the way Harry chucks some of his cars round corners. Especially when they are old Jags and Lancias that later turn out to not have much of a chssis left under the skin. Just proves Harrys Garage is a CZcams channel made to present someone's love of motoring rather than the other way round, (A motoring channel presented to support a love of being on CZcams).
Entering that corner with Audi Sort Quattro was amazing
Finally someone actually drove it and talked about the feeling of driving it i different modes. I am so tired of “reviews” that list off specs and play with the computers inside. Thank you Harry!
Harry, your perspective on any car is incredibly valuable. However, I feel that rings true for no car more than the Range Rover. Great review and so insightful for those of us not personally familiar with the brand via ownership.
Side note: this is the first generation where I’d readily choose the regular RR over the Sport. They absolutely nailed this design. It’s incredible. The sport still looks great, but something about this execution looks so special and timeless.
So true! As former owner of all previous generations, Harry can give us a better insight.
Beautiful! Always enjoy Harry's reviews. Even when he's pushing a vehicle it's relaxing to watch.
Thanks for another great review Harry. So much more relevant as you have the older version as your daily for direct comparison and the noise tests are again a very useful indicator rather than many reviewers saying its quiet. Handy when you have a farm to test out the off road capabilities on hills and grass with the all season tyres; probably as far as I would take my discovery 5.
I saw it in a showroom this past week, It's a definite leap forward and the design is beautiful, particularly the rear. Hearing it can do the business on the farm is reassuring, thanks Harry.
Thank you Harry. I have only started this video, 5 seconds & oddly enough this is exactly the kind of video I was wondering when somebody would produce. So, I am going to lean back and and am certain, going to love it.
Excellent to hear comparisons from such an experienced Range Rover owner! Although I’m sure you’re already planning it, would love to have a thorough review on the L405 PHEV before the trade-in that I can definitely see coming from this video. Keep up the excellent work as always!
So engaging Harry as I watch a review of a car beyond my budget yet I’m nodding my head in agreement with you as you talk about it’s capabilities.
Really enjoy your reviews. Well spoken and balanced. Real world stuff.
Thanks!
As a huge fan of streamline modern design, this vehicle has A+ looks, particularly the rear end. And that's something I never thought I'd say about a Range Rover. Massive shout out to the design team who worked on it.
It looks ridiculous from the rear ,
@@amgnaciri5937 you are in a very small minority with that view, but each to their own eh?
@@gjonno as his name says, hes a amg fanboy
@@mahir6239 good point, well made :)
Loved the taking of that corner at full security detail speed!
Probably the best review I've seen, to date, on the new RR. Thanks, Harry!
I can’t wait to take one of these out for a ride. They look beautiful and hearing how quiet the new one is makes me really intrigued. Gorgeous. Best SUV on the road? Quite possibly.
SUV? Who he?😁 It's a 4x4!
@@EleanorPeterson 💯😂
Shame it broke down at the end of the video..
I have to say I think Harry‘s videos are absolutely brilliant and really in depth I haven’t seen one on the road yet but I have to say I thought TGE video in his autobiography was interesting I thoroughly keep up the great work harry Thank you so much
Casual Morgan Aero Supersports at 15:02 - just Burford things...
I've been waiting for your review Harry. Well worth the wait andvery thorough. Thank you.
I've just come across your channel and I have to say what a brilliant review and superb presentation.
Lovely! Great review as always. I have been a subscriber since almost when your channel started, and never been disappointed. I remember spotting the first EVO magazine when it appeared in my local newsagent and reading the review on the Aston. Thank you Harry.
Fantastic review, Harry. Well done. I love my 2007 L322 Supercharged- still going strong at just a bit over 330,000 miles- but this one takes everything to a whole new level. Well done Land Rover!
Been in the new one. Very nice. Will say though that L322 has a better driving position and frankly I still prefer the older interior. Will remain a classic design.
L322 is the prize imo
"The Swiss Army Knife of Cars" sums it up brilliantly - great review!
Outstanding review!!!! Thank you Harry!
Brilliant review Harry, as always! Mine’s currently in build, ordered the day after launch day…….test drove one for a couple of hours the other day, a big improvement even on my current 2021 Westminster. Very excited, hopefully she’ll arrive soon. All the best.
I really had to get used to the new steering around round abounds for the new model.
How much did it set you back of you part ex? 🤯
I loved my L405. If I had the money I would certainly be buying one of these,it looks fantastic.
Every Sunday for years and years this guy never lets me down we appreciate you @HarrysGarage
This colour is superb …. off road …. matching so nicely with the surrounding landscape…thank you great video ….
GREAT review as ever Harry, stunning new RR indeed.
The 23 inch wheels are part of the Range Rooney pack on the Cheshire edition.
😂😂😂😂
That back end is what the Cullinan should have looked like.
the cullinan is meant to be timeless, you keep a Rolls for >10 years and it's everything its meant to be the whole time.
this here, cute but we don't know when the novelty will wear out. remember XF and XJ launching with everything touch sensitive and rotating? where is all that now?
@@katisop5991 What are you on about? The Cullinan looks like a taxi. Thats not timeless - its hideous and almost everyone agrees.
What have touch sensitive controls got to do with it?
@@siraff4461 it's okay for 99% of society to really not like the Cullinan
@@katisop5991 Well yes. The problem is a lot of the other 1% also don't like it. The sales figures tell it all. While it may be fastest selling Rolls Royce, its still miles behind its competition and lets be honest the Bentayga is no oil painting either.
@@siraff4461 ever since i read this comment every time i see a phantom or cullinan rear, i just see the LEVC and the chrome isnt helping😭😭
There will be very few people how buy this new Range Rover will ever drive it like you have just done in the video, but just goes to show what a great bit of engineering it is .Thanks Harry
In an age of monstrous German over styling. I love the British restraint with this sophisticated Range Rover.
The new RR looks a great step foward on the previous model just hope that there have been improvements on reliability too!
I had one of the last classics 1991 with the VM diesel. I could squeeze 40mpg on a long gentle run. A comfortable road going tractor that worked hard hauling boats on trailers. At 113K , my basket is empty........
As always excellent review!!!!
You’re absolutely right, it looks fabulous, and instantly recognisable as a Range Rover. Disappointing that it’s gained width, I know many successive models do this, but it will upset those who complain/moan/dislike what are classed as SUV’s. Also I know it’s not really what we watch the videos for but the scenery/countryside is beautiful, (I live in central London).
Elegant and able. And that's just Harry! 😊
Great review Harry. Main question is - are you ordering the D350 or waiting for the full hybrid?
Watched every second! excellent video! Thank you!
Brilliant review Harry. Thanks
Wow, chucking 2+ tonne of big car round tight corners like that... Impressive and scary in equal measure 😁 beautiful car though and as always an excellent and honest review.
The pricing is utterly ridiculous.
Why are you complaining? It's a luxury car.
Love the closing shot Harry
The review I've been waiting for. Hope it goes well
Great review as always ! reliability is the elephant in the room .
Yes, why would you buy a Range Rover with their terrible reliability?
There's multi year waiting lists for this new one.
I assume you haven't owned a current Land Rover. They're no more or less reliable than any other higher end brand.
@@chriswoody6768 No I haven't owned a current land rover or range rover .
Had a new discovery years ago but the engine destroyed itself just after warranty only 53000 miles on it ! + many other problems as well.
Many of my friends have had newer lr rr and have loads of problems ! my friend who is a mechanic says only a fool would buy one. If you get a good one your lucky most are fragile pieces of shit !
Ive had a Land cruiser v8 over 7 years and no probs apart from a front brake calliper and it works on a farm .
@@chriswoody6768 Surveys and independent reports doesn't agree with you.
Anecdotal evidence is your enemy.
As a serial Range Rover owner, you must have put up with quality control ups and downs over the years Harry.
I worry that this car has too much tech on it, when it really needs about 25% of this equipment. Really, as you say, it is a wafter, that's what you want from a Range Rover....not the ability to drive the wheels off it on twisty roads.
For me its way too big for the Hampshire lanes, and tight car parks...its the size of an aircraft carrier! I prefer your L322 which I believe you still have. I also cant bear these nailed on I pads on the dashboard (which have way too many distractions from watching where you are going) or the cheap looking switchgear.
The price is madness too....the waiting list just shows how much spare cash people have these days - Land Rover relieving the gullible of their cash.
Having said all that Harry, I am sure you will be updating your car to one of these.
Another great review Harry & always good to see a RR in a field as well as seeing how well it behaves on the road! Hope you are going to review the new Sport in the future as well?
Great review Harry and good to see you like it. Didn't release the world needed a larger RR.
Great review. I like that they have gotten rid of the old rotary gear selector - but the new one is one of those push up or down ones - not as intuitive as the old style stick ones. My main worry with this new model is all the electronics on it(those powered flush door handles, the electric motors on the turbos, etc.) and their long term reliability, especially considering Range Rover's past problems in previous models.
Trust me
Most comments you hear are from toyota fan boys.
People just face some display glitches and bugs and rate this car less then others
Bicester Shopping Village is going to need to widen their parking bays
Brilliant video has always harry 👍
As usual the definitive real world review from Harry
I love my L405 but this looks fabulous.
I'll wait 5 years until the reaper of depreciation does his work for me. 🙂
Great review as ever. A question regarding reliability. JLR gets panned for the reliability across all products, but most especially the Range Rover range. What is your experience of RR as a long term owner in regards to reliability? Thanks.
Thanks Harry, love the review. Can’t wait to see you drive the RR all electric
Great Review, Harry!!!!
The plastics with the smooth glass like finish are actually high quality injection moulds. Talked with an injection moulder years ago and to get these where they're perfectly flat, with sharp edges, is difficult to do. And with the smooth finish you need someone to polish the moulds by hand. It's a lot higher quality than the rough finished ones, which is a result of the spark erosion when making the moulds. Land Rover aren't cutting corners but giving you the very best.
As for the engine, I drove a Defender D300 with a similar engine. It's one of the best engines I've ever driven, and hard to believe it was a diesel. Those engines are the very best you'll find.
Most important thing about those engines is long term reliability.
@@MrBirgerB Indeed, and no reason to have any worries so far.
Too bad they’ll look like crap within 5 minutes of use
@@johnsim3722 you think they can hold up against BMW, Merc or Toyota reliabilitywise?
@@MrBirgerB Some of the Range Rovers in the US got a poor reputation for reliability, but they had BMW engines! Most unreliable car I've ever had was a BMW, and years on from that experience I've learned enough from it to know that the BMW garage didn't have a clue when diagnosing the problem, and got me to spend money on parts which weren't needed. Shockingly bad service.
Merc - They seem good. And Toyota too. Not heard bad stories of Ingenium engines, and a lot of the previous engines were Fords, which are generally reliable.
A wonderfull piece of fine art, excellent craftsmanship and art !
I have to agree they hit it out of the ballpark in designing this car, especially the rear end which is fantastic with the integrated lights where they are almost not seen until they light up.
I can't believe how expensive new cars have become!
Love your reviews Harry, but with this vehicle I can never escape the saying coined in Africa, you can drive a Range Rover into the desert, but you will need a Toyota Land Cruiser to get back out
That was also said by Farmers in Australia, you can drive a RR into the Bush, but you will need to drive a Toyota Land Cruiser to get you back home.
Do you live in Africa? If so, buy Toyota all day long. This car serves a completely different market and that level of reliability is not required (although yes it would be nice to have). To get something to be that reliable you have to make design compromises (i.e. simplify) - and the RR target market is not interested in those.
My Dad told me this saying about RRs/Landcruisers in the mid 1970s in Australia 🇦🇺 . Variant: RRs are such great cars that 70% ever made are still on the road… the other 30% made it back to the garage 😀.
Great review Harry i never get sick of looking at the Range Rover nippy for a straight 6
Love your work Harry! The world's most sophisticated Hooligan
Thanks for the great review! Fully agree, it is a fantastic car. I was lucky to get a P530 delivered already and I simply love it. Unbeatable mixture of great design, comfort/luxury and up-to-date technology. It feels like a modern but very comfy home and in dynamic with the grumbling V8 it is even fun to drive on a sporty note. Thought I would miss the sound of an louder V8 like the RR Sport SVR, but inside it sounds very nice and refined and it suits the car very well. I really like it. Before I had an Audi SQ7, but the P530 is simply another level. Well done Land Rover.
TGE, is that you?
Good to hear, collect my 530 tomorrow too
Did you opt for 22" or 23" wheels? I heard from some reviewers that the 23" make it a bit of a bumpy ride.
Also, are you happy with the V8? I'm debating between that one and the 6-cylinder. Once again some reviewers said the V8 makes it a less smooth ride with little benefit over the 6-cyl.
@@BARATTI99 No ;-)
@@SuperCarManUK Great, congrats! You will not be disappointed.
Well as they have resurfaced the road up from Fulbrook, it would be rude not to check out the workmanship! Great video as always…..
I love it. This was the vlog I was waiting for. The rear is sublime. Have you ordered one Harry 😂😂.
I have a l405 so was very interested in this vid. Agree they have stepped up another level. I reckon the sv long wheelbase with all the toys will definitely be getting RR and Bentley concerned. Thanks again. Great vid.
The new model looks great, hopefully the reliability is better now. After my last two RR and all their issues I gave up. If the new model is reliable I would by one in an instant.
It's a land rover, what do you think?
Good afternoon.
World class vehicle, world class journalist. Thank you Harry
Love that quote, ‘The Swiss Army knife of cars’.👌
Great review as usual Harry. I would be interested to know how the L460 compares to the L322 in everyday and farm duties. I assume you still have your L322 for good reason? There seems to be a massive L322 following and many see it as the last 'proper' Range Rover while the L405 and L460 seem more car like. I get the L322 is a couple of generations old but I would value seeing a comparison video of it with the L405 and the L460. Many thanks.
Great I don’t know why it seems that the L322 seems somehow the one which symbolises the most the last proper Range Rover ( face 😊) I have 2 of them will get rid of one of them to get the L405 … and who knows the 460 … but bit too luxurious expensive & heads turner … best to wait …
@@Kassiusday agreed 405 is intriguing but I love my 322 supercharged
Thanks Harry. My local dealer has me booked in for a test of the V8, however they are a bit scarce. Now I have seen your review perhaps I should look at other engine options. Still going to open my wallet for one, but being old school I still want to drive before I buy.
Harry,s review’s are the pick of the bunch.
Great review of a quintessentially British masterpiece. Bravo Gerry McGovern and team.
Who wouldn’t want one?
Another excellent review by Harry. There is something very positive about this vehicle that until this review, I couldn't quite put my finger on. Amongst the four nations of the UK, there is something that the English were particularly good at, but had for a long time, had seemed to have been lost. That is luxury coupled with class and refinement. Coach-building was one of those areas. Take a look at the old traction engines, steam engines and early lorries. Almost all had intricate detail, polished brass and copper and go back to actual carriages pulled by horses which formed the basis for that detail and it is very apparent. This new Range Rover espouses those qualities in a very modern way. Even as a staunch Welshman, it is good to see that the English are finally showing their talents again. Whilst actually English, the original Defender had a very much Welsh character and its relationship with Wales was quite a romantic one. Perhaps because of its conception in Wales. This latest Range Rover however, really is very English - in a good way. It was the very last scene of the video that really brought it home for me.
Love the estate fencing (24:23) Harry! Clean lines like the Rangie.
Superb review Harry
I really like the style and shape of the steering wheel.
Gorgeous car as all Range/Land Rovers are. I live in the Middle East (and have done for 15 years) and own a 2008 LR3 4.4 V8 HSE and 2013 Range Rover Sport 5.0 V8 Supercharged (also own a 2010 Ford Expedition 5.4 V8). Bought all second hand at 2-3 years old for 10-15 cents in the dollar. All great but the LR3 and RRS are both amazing!! The LR and RR need cared for like an expensive mistress but if you do look after them, like an expensive mistress, you will be rewarded with something beyond a mere driving experience. BUT a new RR is now over QR 600k (!50k sterling) here and simply out of contention even for an ex-pat. I will wait for 3 years and maybe buy one at 30 cents in the dollar.
If you live permanently there and not for a limited period of time due to a contract, then you aren’t an expat, you’re an immigrant.
@@hamzab3659 I have lived here for over 13 years as an ex-pat. I work here and am on an indefinite contract. No matter how long I live here, I will never be able to live permanently - my contract at some point will be terminated and then I will have to leave. I am not an immigrant. I am an ex-pat living and working here for a duration only regardless of how long that duration may be.
I was lucky enough to be in one last week, the spool time of those turbos is just amazing. The interior felt smaller, like a Sport but in reality just as big as the L405. The ride was so composed, I do wonder though is it has lost the Grandeur and Stately fell of the L405. Saying that, it was just sublime.
Amazing review! Thanks
Ahhh lovely
I must say that I’m impressed by this Range Rover. It gives an instant “must have” desire.
Maybe the best Range Rover so far.
All I need are some money and maybe a farm.
If you wave at the folks rolling into the Country Club for golf, maybe they will wave at you and you put a photo of that in your Instagram.
No must have here !!
And the obligatory gilet
And premium breakdown cover
The Discovery5 is the real descendant of the original Range Rover in concept. This RR and even the RR Sport are now competing directly as alternatives to the Mercedes S Class and other luxury saloons and SUV’s such as the Bentayga. The Discovery 5 has all the ability, luxury and performance that 90% of drivers of such vehicles could ever really need. If only its back end was more classy.
perfectly summed up
Great car. Well done Land Rover. I always run a Range Rover and will be getting one of the new ones. Thanks Harry.
Great outro Harry, nice touch.
Strange that there is still not an all electric version of the Range Rover.
It's perfectly suited for conversion, since it's massive and heavy anyway and a lot of them are used solely as Town Rovers anyway.
It's coming, but for now, PHEVs make more sense.
The fully electric version will be available in 2024.
@@hjhhh76hjh Yes, it is. But very late to the party and it seems all because they are scared. Every Range Rover still has to be able to cross the Sahara in their mind.
Yes, late to the party and a bit of a missed opportunity.
@@johannes.f.r. the thing is that BEVs don't work in the real world for the vast majority of drivers, and will only ever account for a small proportion of sales.
22-23" wheels, bet tyres are cheap 😲 And Im far to impatient for electric boot opening and its just something else to go wrong. That said, I'm a plebb. The design is excellent though, really looks good though (for an urban tractor). Years ago I did the calculations to power a rotrex supercharger with a motor; electronic turbo is giving me ideas now batteries are higher density and more readily available 🤩
As always excellent review
Well done Harry!
Absolutely everyone I have met who has owned a Range Rover has said “Never Again. Worst car I’ve ever owned”. The “reliability” is horrendous. More reviews should talk about that.
Old is best
Great review love it
Damn that last footage of the car going past those trees is so.... elegant. I thought i was seeing a commerical! Great Review!!
Perfect engine for such a car. The old Range Rover looks better though in my opinion.
