You can see the respect he gets from the manufacturers for the production quality. I used to give out Land Rovers when I worked there - it makes a big difference.
Love you, Sam, but it is a 635 hp high performance SUV... dwelling on the gas mileage just doesn't make sense. Whether it is this RR Sport, an Aston 707, Urus, etc... nobody expects good mileage from them. I don't expect good mileage from my AMG S63. But I do get what I did expect - amazing performance and comfort. The RR Sport delivers on both (it is my other car).
These svs are horrendous 8 or 9mpg in town. Its awful. And 17mpg on the motorway in 8th gear at 70mph cruising constantly on a long stretch. Its f*cking awful.
I got 25-30mpg from a V8 Dodge Charger across the States (NYC to LA), mostly not on interstates and a reasonable amount of spirited driving. That engine is built of pug iron, I'd expect more from a European vehicle.
Before very recently you'd expect 30mpg from a V8 - from f types to my own s class 5.5v8. It's something about all the modern emissions tech - 20 on a steady cruise is abysmal
5:27 it’s funny because here in South Africa, no one refuels their own car. We have fuel attendants everywhere, and they’re the friendliest people you’ll ever meet
Thank you Sam, for visiting Portugal, once again. Amazing footage, you are still the reference for car youtubers. Next time you want Pastéis de Nata, I suggest visit the Pastéis de Belém, they are doing it since 1837, and that region is a good spot, for some of your amazing footage.
Sam it might have been cheaper quicker to get a Portuguese tart at your local Tesco or Morrison but the video would not have been as interesting and the Range Rover would have been stolen from the car park whilst you were in the Supermarket. Keep up the videos.
There's always one. I saw a BMW SUV failing to start yesterday. All (expensive/complex) cars have reliability issues. I'd buy a horse and car if I were you!
@@miyahtallulah neither of my AMGs have broken down. My neighbour’s Range Rover got taken away on a flatbed this week. To be fair, his wife’s new shape defender is still going. Look, all cars can break down, but JLR cars just happen to break down more often, hence why they are at the bottom of independent reliability rankings around the world. No need to get upset about it. It’s not a personal attack on you. Yes, I do have cars and horses, thank you for the advice.
I adore the new big body Range Rover enough to overlook the iconic 5.0 being gone, but something about the looks of the Sport just makes me long for the previous generation even more than I always used to. Comparing this Sport SV and the old SVR next to each other I can't help but think something went wrong (especially visually) and that makes the lack of the 5.0 harder to overlook. The big body Range was always the monolithic classy thing parked outside the stately estate and it's kept that atmosphere into the new generation, while the Sport which always belonged more in front of a modern house in the city and looked much 'sportier' than it's big brother seems to now be trying to be the big brother in spite of it's naming. The BMW V8 made it almost german sadly - big power and torque, but with little personality.

Even if you could sell one of your castles in Scotland or on the Rhine, to purchase this car, the price must make you ask about value for money, not to mention the cost of insurance currently for a RR.
Since you are a lot into coffee.... next time Range Rover invite you to the Algarve and you go the Lisbon for a pastel de nata, should check out in Chiado, Fabrica Cafe Roasters.
600km , omg that has to be the ultimate endurance test! I do 1400km trips 4 x a year in my 2016 Kia optima GT. Replaced tyres, and service it once a year @ Au $ 365. Still runs quiet and all electronics work. 600km is not a test!
Hey Sam...The fuel mileage might suck but you know what they have on that vehicle? Window wipers and fluid. That's a gross windshield! How can you even see out it!?? @12:00
Biggest shock of the video, Sam didn’t get car jacked or come out a shop and find the range rovers been stolen!. Literally the biggest shock of the video.

In terms of fuel economy, more cars should have a system of shutting down certain cylinders when just cruising on the motorway, like changing a V8 in a 4 or 6 cylinder
