Range Rover Sport P400 - Smart Casual (ENG) - Test Drive and Review

- Range Rover Sport debuted in 2005 as a cheaper alternative to the ever-growing full-size Range Rover. By the end of 2020, one million units had been sold, while the SUV was still in its second generation. In addition to footballers' wives, powerful powertrains, including a 5-liter V8 with a compressor, certainly contributed to the sales success.
The current third generation also seeks to introduce a bit of green credentials to the Range Rover Sport L461 ahead of the arrival of an all-electric version in 2024. The engine range, depending on the market, includes diesels, diesels with a mild hybrid, petrol engines with a mild hybrid, petrol engines with a plug-in hybrid and the 530-hp 4.4 liter petrol V8 from BMW that powered the big Range Rover I reviewed a few months ago.

I dont know why ignorant people keep on going on about reliability of this new Range rover when this is a totall new car ha snot even been out 2 mins.. It has a reliable and proven bmw engine in it , give it a chance , and stop talking out your back sides
The V8 is from BMW. The straight 6 is JLR's own development. The engines are not the problem. It's the electronics around them.
This review distinguishes itself from all the others online. From the length comparison to the 2nd Gen and other cars like X5, to the rear seat space comparison to the full sized RR. Amazing review. Deserves every single view it gets, and more !
Thank you.
Excellent review of the new RR Sport and best to date on CZcams. Tks Marek
Wow, thanks!
Thank you
You're welcome
Good review as aksHs Marek, but curious: why does the car have UK registration plates when you are in Poland and it's also a left hand drive?
JLR produced some press cars for the launch event, and then sent them out across Europe for local press fleet duty. I imagine it was more efficient, than making another batch of press cars, when the clients want their cars NOW :)
Nice review as usual Marek. Much appreciated.
I noticed that many (if not all) the German SUVs use run flat tyres, and I'm assuming given that it has a full sized spare the Range Rover still uses normal tyres. Do you feel that it any impact on the ride and handling of the Range Rover?
I'd have to drive them back to back, preferably somewhere on a nasty bit of road. I know there's a huge difference in handling, when it comes to sidewall size, but then again we'd have to look at steering ratio in various cars.
Long story short: hard to tell :)
@@MarekDrivesENG I the car has adaptive suspension I don't think that it really matters
The back rests...? wow :)
Would you choose this one over the MX7?
I like the overall look of the RR Sport but I agree I’m not a fan of the rear shape. Also after seeing you have to winch the spare out the boot, I would dread getting a flat tyre 😂
Only buy with helicopter shuttle service to lift you from wherever you're stranded. Let the servants deal with the mess.
@@MarekDrivesENG I bet RR provides some type of road assistance and even if they don't, I'm sure that people that can afford to buy this car, will never get their hands dirty and will call for help
Chief mechanic for Range Rovers with authorized dealer said that Rovers are like prostitutes…they’re good while you throw money at them 😂😂😂
Painful :)
All those gadgets mean only one thing - the usual regular visits to a dealer to 'fix' the Land Rover characteristic constant failures. What fun - so glad I can't afford one in the first place, so I don't need to worry about whether to take the risk or not.
Marek, your reviews are excellent, but I respectfully suggest you dispense with the loud and irritating soundtrack music during your reviews….. it’s totally unnecessary and off putting
I can't please everyone. When I did an episode without music I got messages I should stop my stupid experiments and stick to the format :)
Marek ... You mentioned the BMW as having a better driving experience...? Maybe, but remember in a BMW one is driving just a "Soft Roader", whereas with Range Rovers one has genuine and unparalleld Off Road capabilities.. One may not use them off road, but I like the knowledge that I could, if I ever need to.
I also feel that such off road capabilities imply a certain ruggedness which other "Soft Roaders" may not have...
Yes, one pays for the sense of security in case of zombie apocalypse :)
@@MarekDrivesENG As you said, I also believe that almost no one will drive this car off road
I find it strange that the infotainment screen is positioned so low. I rarely see that on new cars anymore, probably because it's safer to keep that screen higher. That way you don't have to take your eyes that far off the road. Lately the screen is in most cars positioned at the same height as the meterscreen behind the steering wheel.
Marek, would you buy one over other “premium” SUVs? I am about to order one in D300 as I apprecite it doesn’t look so cocky in comparison to big RR and offers same interior size at same time, but I’m scared in advance of the reliabilty 😰
I prefer BMW driving experience, but I'm too short for this segment, even in air suspension comfortable access position :)
I guess it depends on where you live. In Poland everybody has an Audi, BMW or a Mercedes SUV, but there are very few JLR cars, so there's the exclusivity factor...
@@MarekDrivesENG I am from nearby, CZ 😉 right now I drive 2021 BMW M5 LCI, cool car definitelly with useless amount of power, but with two small kids I’m looking for something more family orientated. New X7 is ugly and X5, Q7 and Q8 as well as Cayenne they all have coming facelift during next year. I wanted to try something different but not at expense od reliability. JLR has bad reputation, but they know and supposedly try to improve, as they say in JLR. 🤷🏻♂️
Damn, I'd hold on to that 5 Series until it starts to fall apart. They won't make cars like that any more :(
I never though I'm going to be one of THOSE people, but get the pre-facelift BMW, before they install the new infotainment system.
Yes, JLR has a terrible reputation. I know a guy who does some quick electronic repairs for them, when the authorised dealer fails (which apparently is more often than we think), and he said he wouldn't touch a JLR product with a 3-meter pole.
@@MarekDrivesENG 😳 sounds scary! Damn, I really like LR design, unfortunately it looks like technical parts are still falling behind…what a pitty. Will have to risk it or go elsewhere.
BTW: this BMW was the last solid BMW for me, that was the reason I bought it. It still has buttons, awesome iDrive infotainment, perfect chassis and it even doesn’t include any hybrid system in this 4.4 V8 engine. Consumption between 11-25 in my case 😂 New infotainment is quite disgusting.
@@MarekDrivesENG Didn´t know the average salary has risen that much in Poland, so that everybody can now afford 120.000 Euro SUVs 😆
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
They look so nice sitting on the side of the road waiting for the recovery vehicle....
I've been enjoying your video tests for years, but...the volume of the music played between your pieces is far too loud. Please would you leave it at the same or less than your speech sound level?
I'll ask my editor do fix it in the future.
@@MarekDrivesENG Cheers, thank you.
good review as usual
what is the difference between mild and plug-in hybrid? something you mentioned when you talked about the available powertrains for this vehicle
OK, so the mild hybrid is a more complex stop and start system, which also gives you a boost in certain situations. Depending on the brand, engine, setup it may also allow coasting with the engine off. But from a driver's perspective it's pretty much a regular petrol or diesel powertrain.
A plug-in hybrid is (as the name suggest) something you plug-in to charge, and then you can drive a certain distance on electricity only (in this case it's around 100 km I think). Once you're out of juice, the petrol engine will kick in, and then it will behave like a regular hybrid (i.e. not a mild hybrid), where the petrol engine and the electric motor may work together or interchangeably in order to maintain efficiency.
Arguments in favour of PHEVs are that you can do your daily commute in electric mode. Arguments against PHEVs are that if you don't charge them regularly, you're just carrying a lot of extra weight, and using more fuel, when out of electricity.
@@MarekDrivesENG thank you for your prompt reply
What's the colour name (in JLR speak) of the car you had? Carpathian grey?
Eiger Grey Satin (or something like that).
@@MarekDrivesENG
It looks like it is vinyl wrapped?
@Huw Williams so did the golden full size Range Rover. They have a bunch of these satin paints 10k a pop, and apparently they can't repair a single panel, they have to respray the whole car. Judging by the marks I found on the passenger doors, it's not a self-repair paint either.
@@MarekDrivesENG
Sounds like a paint job that only Russian Oligarchs could want or afford.
That colour looks best with the black roof and black alloys. I’ve ordered one in the satin eiger grey and I think it was £7140 extra 😮
In Connecticut, USA (suburban New York City), you can’t throw a stone without hitting one of these. It’s my experience that families have a 10-year run with the brand owning/leasing 3 cars before they get too frustrated and move on to something else. Just too unreliable and rattle traps after 100K km.
If this brand had the reliability, build quality and customer service as Lexus then they would be the best car to buy and I would buy one. BUT they do not. For the prices that Range Rover charge for their vehicles the aforementioned should be a given.
I saw one yesterday on the side of the A92. The well dressed looking chap doesn't look too happy. 😂
I'm sure he was looking for a crisp that dropped under the seat :)
@@MarekDrivesENG lies
If I was wealthy enough, I would.
👨🏿💻🍿
👀
Way too expensive
You should do a comparison video bmw/Audi and Merc
It’s no longer an off-roader. Journalists stop spreading Land Rover propaganda. As an off-roader I say it’s no longer one. Too much reliance on sensitive sensors
I am surprised how many people want one, even though it has been voted the UK's most unreliabe car from brand new to 3 years old.
It does look nice though
Everybody wants to be a wag? :)
@@MarekDrivesENG over here in the UK yes. lol
Tik Tok brought me hear
?
👏🏻🦾🫡🥇🥈🥉👏🏻
The "ones" driving these in downtown Toronto look greasy... you know, organized "import/export" types. Big gold chains, Adidas suits, maybe first language is Russian or some other "eastern" European language nobody can seem to be able to identify. Kerblackistani? A shame because this is a very sharp design. Clean, not trying too hard. Hey what's in that black case in the trunk Marek? Or maybe I shouldn't be asking..... wait did you say glove compartment or glock compartment?
Is it really that bad? I glanced over homicide statistics for Toronto vs. Warsaw, and it's comparable taking into account differences in population. Also, in Warsaw we're mainly white. Albeit Eastern European.
@@MarekDrivesENG when you see a dude who’s muscle bound, bunch of tattoos, young like late 20s early 30s driving a 130k dollar truck like this around the entertainment district you really have to wonder. I exaggerate a bit, but I see them pulled over by the cops all of the time.
The people shooting and killing on the streets aren’t these guys. The gangs in the public housing do that. These guys give the order. They trade the guns, at a distance, or drugs, at a distance. We were filming at this Russian guys house, he had the top Range Rover sport v8 and a Lambo and I said to him I love your Range Rover, you could fit an anti aircraft gun in that trunk and he laughed and said I’ll have to try that one day.
Don’t care for the rear end look
No matter the language, the country or anything, Range Rover products are overpriced crap!
A haha,what a bs car…
