  • The 2024 Range Rover Sport SV packs 635bhp, can hit 180mph and has trick new suspension but is this enough for it to beat the Aston DBX 707 or Porsche Cayenne Turbo with GT Package?

      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.

    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.

    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! 🙂🙂🙂🙂

      If one is paying many 10s of thousands of pounds for a car, they should expect to have the 'luxury' of direct-access buttons.

I'm all for people enjoying their success, but these "cars" are crass, ugly and should have a carbon fibre "I'm an idiot" badge welded to the tailgate. There is nothing stylish that I can see in the design, not a hint of aspiration to own one and I don't think the ownership experience would be much fun on a day-to-day basis. It feels like the psycho RIB's that are rapidly replacing the beautiful heritage yachts down the road from here in St Mawes.

    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 had my recycling bins out this morning and before they were collected a young lady in a BMW X7 was struggling to park her car outside my house adjacent to a coffee shop .
    I watched on the security camera as she got out of the huge vehicle and forcefully pushed the recycling bins out of my usual collection position and luckily got her cup of coffee , i put the bins back in time to be collected . hopefully the Range Rover next week !!

    It’s funny you should say that we are simple creatures harry, I would hazard a guess to say I have watched your sport Quattro video about 20 times at least simply because you look so happy in it. For me that’s why I have watched the channel for so long. I should add in prefer Harry’s farm and I work in banking. Not sure what Freud would make of that tbh 🤷‍♂️.

    168k for the SV but how much for insurance? (Presuming you can insure it)!

      RR Sport SV: 168k
      23" carbon wheel upgrade: 16K
      Insurance to actually drive it: Priceless.

    I’ve read so many complaints about poor reliability, indifferent customer service, yet they still sell. I’m tempted to maybe have it as a second car. There’s something visually addictive about them.
