Great investment !
You could buy a unimog for the same kind of money
I’d go for trade bid of £80000 , £90000 within 12 months. Add insurance which will be biblical and if you finance it on top all that interest I’d be thinking minimum £80000 to £100,000 loss in first year😂

The RR looks as if it’s already 8 years old, blinged up and lowered by someone who wants to look as if they are a drug dealer. Just vile, especially in all black

I think what's happened is cheap finance. If you go back to the seventies, you had to be successful (and save money) if you wanted to buy an expensive car and cars reflected that in their taste and build quality: they were assets. Think of cars like the Merc SL. Today, any halfwitted deliveroo driver with poor judgement, who lives with their mum and has a few k in the bank can drive pretty much anything they like. If anything, expensive cars now connote low status.

As for the reliability, they have improved considerably, but whether that’s enough, only time will tell
Keep up. The latest gen Range Rover’s are some of the least stolen cars in the UK. It’s the previous cars wireless security that’s the issue. Although even this is fixed with a free update at the dealership.

I will not buy any car that doesn’t have physical buttons and these days it’s getting harder to find a car that isn’t operated via touchscreen. Love the sound of the V8 though.

@@simonhaslam Mansory: "hold my beer"
If the Euro Millions happened next week I still wouldn’t. Don’t see the point of putting so much performance in a car like that. Yes a nice big engine to waft you down the road with some great suspension but 0 - 60 in 4 seconds is not required.
If you want that, buy a 911 or Lamborghini etc etc.
That is a footballers car if ever I saw one - money doesn't buy you taste or class.
Apparently they eat transfer boxes from virtually no miles - another classically reliable RR!
Yeah, there's no way a car that big heavy and fast isn't going to absolutely muller it's components, let alone the consumables.
That off the line launch is spectacular, something the size (and weight) of a bungalow has no right to accelerate so quickly. Or for that matter reason.
People will think you've started farming something a little more exotic driving that around the Cotswolds.
Super impressive tyres - all season. This thing will make a great WAG snowplough in Manchester.
For me you can keep this sort of car
Being a Range Rover it has just two problems: 1) it's about as attractive as a public loo that hasn't been cleaned for a month in high summer and 2) you will get to know your local dealer very well indeed when it is constantly being repaired.
3) It can be stolen easily, 4) Is un-insurable, 5) Eats and drinks like Mr Creosote, 6) Doesn't fit UK roads or car parks, 7) Everyone thinks you're a drug-dealer/footballer
@@EvoraGT430just another wafer thin mint………
Behemoth. I honestly think a Dacia Duster is more relevant and fit for purpose for most people. Something you can just knock around in and not look ostentatious and worry about scrapes. I'm more interested in that sort of car and more likely to be reliable.
The removal of hard buttons and knobs from the centre console and replacing them with a vast expanse of cheap gloss black plastic is very disappointing and a real step backwards.
Harry…I have had an Hybrid Autobiography since mid April and it is the astonishing refinement and near silence that impresses. Then fuel consumption..33-36 mpg effective using the regenerated electric. It is of course, nowhere near in performance but it still is plenty quick enough in real world driving.. The SV is crazily expensive for now but after 15 happy years with LR, I’m pleased and it is best not to listen to the hoards of voices who have never ridden in one let alone owned one. The SV…maybe next time and with the certain big price drop! 🙂🙂🙂🙂
Coming to a London mews street / Premiership football club car park soon….£200K of horrid JLR bling.
And Manchester
That's a lot of money to get shipped out to Albania within a few weeks.
The F Pace SVR is ever more the appealing.
Used to work for JLR. I’d have an F -Pace SVR any day of the week over all other models.
I went to Porche Macan after 15 years with LR starting with a 110 defender and finishing with a 14 plate disco
Uninsurable waste of money that most people can’t afford anyway
The great thing about your videos, is that you are still a hooligan at heart. Keep the videos coming.
The old one is much sharper
I’m only 3 minutes in and IMO it screams nouveau riche. We’re going to stick it out because it’s Harry. I remember when Range Rover was cool.
Funny. I don't remember that.
Had one in '72, it was cool, much better for taking sheep to market and you could wash the footwell with a hose afterwards.
I don't.
It’s crazy how these have depreciated from the near 200k price to around 120k already. People may have caught on to the fact that it’s just a Sport with the BMW V8 and a few bits of carbon. It somehow doesn’t feel as special or unique as the 5.0 SVR did. It is nice, just massively overpriced without offering any benefit over, say, an X5M or Cayenne Turbo.
…and really ugly compared to the previous RRS
Hit the nail on the head. It's a regular RRS with some carbon and a V8 which sounds muted compared to the last one. Of course this is regulation required, but it just screams tacky compared to the already slightly iffy SVR. I've driven this new SV, and its absolutely not worth paying for compared to a regular Cayenne S in terms of dynamics, quality, and practicality. And I'm far from a Porsche fanboy.
I don't think Harry would agree with you. He was insistent about the massive engineering changes, esp the suspension. It clearly isn't just a bigger engine and carbon lipstick.
120k? Post link
The chances of this thing going anywhere near a field are microcopic.
I don't know what you mean but you sound intelligent, sort of.
@@davidlyon1899 I mean that nobody with 170k to spend on a car is going to take it off roading or even down a muddy road. They will have another car for that.
Apart from the psychotic lack of buttons, RR’s interiors are gorgeous. Shame you can’t get insurance for these things atm…
Range Rover has gone down hill, since the L322 finished production, not a fan of the bling look
They have no class these days.
They couldn't care less- their biggest market is China where there is a wait list and Tata's stock price (their owner) is up 70% this past year
I think we all know the kind of person that will buy this chav crap.

To be fair the RR Sport always looked like something from the Lego Movie.
Try not to crash looking at the screen
Makes you a bit nervous, yes? Well, get used to the brave new world of driving with multiple screens.
You're absolutely right, most crashes happen because people are too busy focusing on things inside their vehicle and not concentrating on what's happening outside of it.

💯 agree on the safety issues. I believe they're going to be banned/limited in some way (touchscreens) by future EU regulations. Apparently they didn't see the mass move to touchscreens coming. With the obvs safety issues, they're looking at taking action soon. Not sure what year it will become law...🤷🙄.

@@TheImperfectGuy I mean, you could buy a super sedan or larger sized v8 sedan like an M5, Lexus GS-F, Cadillac CT5 Black wing, M5, G8X M3, E63, Audi RS6.. plenty of sedans have just as much space inside and offer insane performance. People who buy these particular type of SUV’s rarely even use them as SUV’s anyway. As Harry said these are pretty much useless off-road.

These companies are really not reading the room.
I hope you are right but I fear not. Even Rolls-Royce are permitting the bespoke manufacture of hideous versions of their mass production (relatively speaking) models. I’m in the Bay Area, and on a local freeway last week I saw a bright pink Bentley sedan.
I m afraid they are... it just tells a lot about the "room" ....
This is the very first time I have not enjoyed Harry’s Garage…there is no reason for this vehicle to exist at this price.
Great video but isn’t it weird that in most car channels the presenter explains how easy or difficult it is to switch off the crazy safety warnings. How is it possible that politicians in the EU think the warning signals are a brilliant idea while in practice they are not?
The warning signal is a wedge, it's a first step in a process that leads to cars that won't break the speed limit.
Nigh on 200k for a Range Rover in top trim , crazy . Spen King who designed the original despised they had turned into Chelsea Tractors , Gin Palaces on wheels so to speak . There will always be a market for these I guess, but not my cuppa I’m afraid.
KY is an appropriate number plate as your getting shafted.
Landrover have really lost their way.
The heater can be adjusted by pressing and dragging the temperature number up and down. The 'driving assistants' can be turned of by just pressing the steering wheel button two or three times, rather than holding it then going to the screen.
Much easier to reach out, without looking and rotate a knob.
High performance SUVs are questionable as such but this one takes the cake for me. So yeah if you wanna signal to the world that you re lobotomized/ particularly ignorant and only recently came to money in a shady/ questionable way (despite the aforementioned mental limitations), THIS is the right car for you... Can t wait for Urban to come up with an even worse version for those who are also blind on top of all that.
JLR using a BMW V8, it's a shame they're not developing their own V8, or creating a new one of their own
Probably a good thing
I would have the 2024 Aston Martin DBX with new dashboard and infotainment system for the money, a better badge in my eyes. Yes the Range Rover Sport is great, but it leaves me with four questions: 1. Will I get insured? 2. How often will it break down? 3. How long do i have to wait for it to be fixed with the reported parts shortages? And finally 4. How much is a replacement carbon fibre wheel if I should kerb one?
The first Range Rover designed NOT for the off-roader / dirt track market, it's tarmac all the way. It's got one of those big tablet screens like it's been added last minute.
Clearly you haven’t seen any recent RRs

The DBX is better but way more money, if I was leasing, I would choose it over Porsche but if keeping long term, I take Porsche better reliability! Great reviews as always, you can just feel the prowess of the car when you describe the way it feels!
Il keep 130k and buy a used previous version which looked 10x better

I've never been a Range Rover guy, Harry, but this classy SUV is impressive. I just am not a big fan of those big distracting computer screens that are all the rage now. Especially the one they put in the AMG GT that you reviewed!
I've never understood why people adjust the temperature in a climate controlled car. I set it to what I want when I buy a car and don't touch it again. It won't heat up or cool down any quicker if you adjust the temperature. What am I missing because people seem to do it a lot.
Most impressive this is Range Rover existing and trying to flog these archaic cars.
Why wouldn’t you buy a diesel version and a mildly used Bentley Conti or something for similar money……. Unless you need to tow a caravan etc to the nail bar/tanning salon. Range Rover always used to stand for an amount of class.
Plus avoid stopping for fuel every couple of hours.
I’m going to start squirreling parts for that Range Rover for the the next 10 years and then i will be able to fix it when I buy it from a police auction in 2034 for 10k
Thanks for your honest review of the SV Harry. It is refreshing to get the honest truth about how the vehicle actually drives in the real world in all of its variable settings. Would I buy one if I could afford it - no. However it is good to get a true appraisal of its dynamic capabilities. Thanks Harry 👍🇬🇧😎

Nobody. The question is "who wants such a car". If they go unsold, then the negative comments on Harry's lovely video will be vindicated. But I bet Land Rover sell every one of them.
