Hey everyone quick correction. We say that this is a 4.4l BMW-sourced V8, which is true, but it is not exactly the same as the one in the normal Range Rover SV like James said. This is the S63 V8 (vs the N63 in the RR SV), which is similar to the one in the upcoming M5. In reality, doesn't feel like a huge difference, but an important distinction nonetheless. Thanks and have a lovely day!
Not true, sadly. I left both windows open on the hottest day of the year and nothing wandered in over night. There is a noticeable drop in insects from say 20+ years ago. I recently visited local beaches and a country park here too, somewhere I used to spend a lot of time in during the 90's, and it all looked lifeless. Sad.
Agreed that moving all Stereo & HVAC controls to the Infotainment screen is a mistake. I'm convinced the engineers only design and test it while the vehicle is parked so they can afford to take their attention off the road.
As an ex engineer at JLR, this definitely isn't true! its just a design lead company, the amount of time i'd see engineers arguing with designers over something that was dumb, but the designers always got their way as its a design lead firm, its just the compromise they choose to make there. IMO many of the vehicles are stunning though
@@TheJPHarvey I appreciate that insight. I had a feeling this was the reason. What stops the designers from having the foresight that these touch screen computer systems will not age well and will essentially render these vehicles useless in 10 years time?
@@DJAllOut The worst i remember before i left was some of the aero engineers aruging with designers over the new defenders aero, and the impact of having the full size spare wheel mounted to the rear door. But then again, it does look really cool imo (i know design is subjective). Unfortunately in engineering there are always trade offs, the end product just depends on what trade offs you want to take. I do agree about the screens though, all functions controlled through the screen in the new Range rovers. So stupid, physical controls for volume and climate controls should be a legal requirement imo!
I specifically got myself a my23 Range Rover sport which was with a dealer just so that I don’t have to use the touch screen for the climate controls atleast. Although it still has the huge touch screen. Something’s better than nothing I guess.
The handling on this Range Rover SV and the New Defender OCTA Are incredible. It’s insane to see something so large handle better than most cars on the road. Land Rover’s special vehicles department has been making actually special vehicles lately.
Great review and I really enjoy your guys' banter! A small thing, but thanks for leaving that few seconds of black screen near the end instead of letting the video end abruptly and change to next one. Gives me time to un-fullscreen it, pause it, thumbs up, and leave this comment.
The first review video where I'm only watching the epic countryside out of the window instead of viewing the car! Beautiful. PS I was listening honest guys!!
It's not a glitch, this happens when you get a notification on your phone and carplay is not showing on your car infotainement, it will switch to carplay for a sec to show the notification (in this case from "Find My") and then go back to the oem interface. It's just a coincidence that he drove over a bumb
03:35 this is what im like with my friends, defending myself against something by saying it was something else that is either equally as bad or actually worse 😅
I like it. I know the is high chances of breaking down and all that however I still love it. It looks great, sounds great. One day is one day I will get that Rover. Just love the Damm thing.

Try getting one repaired. I took mine into a RR dealer and they managed to break front door lock….1 month later still no car. I finally got RR to take it back and got a DBX. For the rough stuff we bought a Rubicon jeep.
In terms of active suspension, it is almost 30yrs technology. The best example is Mercedes and its Active Body Control, then evolution to Magic Body Control using windshield camera to "see" the road, and now E-Active Body Control. The Panamera is using almost the same active part as MB.
The funniest running anecdote I have with my mechanic friend who hates these is that Land Rover might be the only company that realizes that a smaller car makes a Sports Car, henceforth " Range Rover *Sport* "
Now that Land Rover has gone with the BMW engine I'm seriously considering this as a family/winter vehicle. I loved my Range Rovers sport and long wheel base versions. When I was a tech for JLR I had a few as an employee lease. But there wasn't much you could do to them when it came to tuning because of the super charged engine. Now that they are turbo charged, I may get one for the wife...but tinker with it before she gets it so she thinks that's how it comes stock.
2:55 i can’t believe the framing on this shot of them w the car the composition is insane the blossoms covering the left edge of the frame,, the castle and hill and sky and flowers and,, just sick seems like the location was ripe for photography but still,, noice ✨
Does anyone understand the backwards lane markers? 10:05 It's obviously a UK thing, it just doesn't make any intuitive sense, which might also be a UK thing.
The first time I drove in the UK those overtake arrows completely confused me. I'm used to seeing "pass with care" followed by "no passing" in the US at the end of the run so when I finally realized it was telling me I needed to get back into the left lane "or else" it was revelatory.
I Wish you guys would review a Suzuki, just any of them. The Vitara 1.4l Turbo, known as the Boosterjet is a great car. Just would like to know your opinion on Suzukis since they are not sold in North America.
a real sportscar is like a speedboat...this is like a cruiseship. Fast but still heavy, big and wobbly. And so much tech that it will break down...frequently.

Thanks for the updated info. Stil not buying one (full disclosure - can't afford it!!)...
Says all you need to know, that you can't even tell the difference
James. Pfft.
@@ExtraThrottleHouse S means M engine right, so supposedly just better for long term full run stints
BMW calls it the S63? So it's like a Ferrari F-250 kinda thing?
"Thats usually how legs work" 👀👀
this had me rolling
“They increased the gape.”
The question is if this is going to break down or get stolen earlier
It'll get stolen first, then break down half a block down the road.
Meanie
Carwow tested an SV that grenaded its transfer unit on their first review 😂😂
Yes.
Break down in the process of be stolen
The banter during this episode is really great
Nice to see that Wales still has a healthy amount of insects.
Wales is so beautiful. But like Charles I'd rather not go back either. 😂😅 jkjk

You can drive over two hours here in Texas and get a noticeably low amount of bugs on your windshield. Everything is lifeless.

It looks so much better than the standard Range Rover.
Also, I really, really wish I had roads like that where I live.
As a Welshie it’s a dream to see a video shot nearby!
Know the road by any chance? 🏴
@@jonnowocky8179 Looked like black mountain pass to me (a4069)

don’t they have that already with the “New X vs. cheapest X you can buy”
@@itried3168sort of, but I would like comparisons of every corvette gen where they actually drive them but that would be a massive project/video

and for a worse car imho. But rich people lol
Or just get a base RRsport ,and then get a 718 spyder?
Used
Always the ones that don't plan on buying, can't afford or isn't the target audience complaining about price.

which place exactly it? south ? never drove this road
@@serz1885I’m from the South and it could easily be a couple of roads here but my guess is they shot this in Mid Wales.

That opening joke about legs...classic 😂...right over my wife's head
The seats sound like they are perfect for when you are listening to a brand new single from a popular beat combo.
I'm glad you guys finally reviewed a car that is literally uninsurable in Toronto.
You are the best reviewers…… in the world! Keep it up!
Love seeing Astronaut in the Ocean on the stereo
My favourite driving road, great video as always.
@1:55 I was waiting for the “ budamp bump” 😂
1:59 Guys, guys the kids are watching 😅
4:22 did anyone else catch how the infotainment screen glitched out on that bump 🌚
It's not a glitch, this happens when you get a notification on your phone and carplay is not showing on your car infotainement, it will switch to carplay for a sec to show the notification (in this case from "Find My") and then go back to the oem interface.

Definitely _Solarinterference_
Thanks for the explanation, I was wondering about that
This notification cured my depression
I’m just glad I don’t have to pay for these therapy sessions.

Still don't see the point in the sports SUV. Sport and SUV are just two words that don't go together. 😊😂😂😂
Another great video!
would love to see you guys review the 2025 Aston DBX 707
How long do you think it will be until we can find this model used for around the 45k$ range?
Did i miss the part where they explained the Yeti on the infotainment screen?
Previous gen SVR ❤❤❤❤❤
Am I the only one that thinks James was READY for this review?
I love the comedic rapport between these two 😊
I have 626 horsepower in a 2014 Mustang GT so, I'm all in on that number. 😁
I love the channel but unfortunately I'm reporting this video for being AI generated. There's no way a Land Rover has a full tank of coolant like that.

Did the infotainment screen glitched when they went over a bump at minute 4:21 ?
Definitely did something
😂 the dramatic ending.
What camera mount are you using behind? Suction cup to window and floor?
Great video and WHY are there ARROWS pointing TOWARDS them at 06:00 - I freaked out for a moment! (from the U.S. but live in Japan)
In terms of active suspension, it is almost 30yrs technology. The best example is Mercedes and its Active Body Control, then evolution to Magic Body Control using windshield camera to "see" the road, and now E-Active Body Control. The Panamera is using almost the same active part as MB.
It actually seems kind of darty when Thomas is driving it down that winding road.

Thanks James, spoiling the RS4 wagon.... jeez 😂
Take heart, James. There is a line of thought that asserts William Wallace's family originally migrated into Scotland from Wales.
The funniest running anecdote I have with my mechanic friend who hates these is that Land Rover might be the only company that realizes that a smaller car makes a Sports Car, henceforth " Range Rover *Sport* "
I have the same side to side jostling (I call it fidgeting) on my 2021 Velar.
Did it break down during filming?

You need to visit hubnut and road test , his 1970's invacar.
Can we get a paragraph in every video's description mentioning what watch Thomas is wearing?
1:30 Literally every car guy
Finally in the uk. The best country in the world
"That's usually how legs work" 😂😂😂
3:31 that's where the infotainment tablet should be in all vehicles not glued to the top of the dashboard like 95% of the cars have it.
Yes.. My iX seats have speakers in them. They vibrate with the bass of the song.
Finally a SUV for the guys not for soccer moms ,getting my order in
Looooooooove the SV.
The review I hv been waiting for🎉
The best part is the carbon wheels and brakes, which this one doesn't have.
Does anyone understand the backwards lane markers? 10:05 It's obviously a UK thing, it just doesn't make any intuitive sense, which might also be a UK thing.
its to do with where you can and cant overtake comming the other way
Yeah it’s a reminder if you’re overtaking to return to your lane as either there’s a blind corner ect.
@fayyazdaud2619 I go to the UK yearly and drive between St Annes and Huddersfield near daily, but I never knew that! Makes sense!
The first time I drove in the UK those overtake arrows completely confused me. I'm used to seeing "pass with care" followed by "no passing" in the US at the end of the run so when I finally realized it was telling me I needed to get back into the left lane "or else" it was revelatory.
Great video
Everything about this video has a sexual connotation
No innuendo here 😂
Was that a motorcycle cop we saw behind you on the road?
Maybe that was because the video stopped quite suddenly…. 😅😅😅
am i the only one but that bumper looks like the front end of a cadillac
You guys need to review a 458 and 812
That's an interesting design. Is this large SUV from Scotland?
Is the front bumper in the process of throwing up a CT4?
Finally, people that agree with me that Pivi Pro is worse than In Control Touch Pro
If it doesn't have rear wheel steering its excellent
Couldn’t clean the bugs off the front before filming?
Wallace was what the Scots called Welsh people or those of Welsh descent so James was not wrong

i think at $200k with a few options it is now massively overpriced for what it is vs Cayenne Turbo GT or Aston DBX or Bentley
“It can be a fish seat.” 😂
Was that a police person on the moto behind you while filming this? And did you explain to them how legs work?
