Too many snide remarks about Land Rover product reliability. I owned three LR Discoveries (80k miles/6 years) and bought a new RR Vogue in 2020 (35k now) all without any significant problems.
@@BuckleUpShow I have and still currently own a L322 and find they are very reliable, I also had a l405 for 2 years and that had a few problems. Most of the breakdowns are caused by the previous owners neglect or they just can’t afford to run it, then they go on Facebook, UA-cam etc. complaining about it. Keep up with servicing and they are just as reliable as any big expensive complex car. 👍🏼
I mean, take a look at the channel and I think it's not hard to see we like a JLR product here however, we have our eyes wide open about their reliability. Figures release by warranty direct show 34% of Land Rover vehicles have a warranty claim made on them. That's the third highest manufacturers claim rate behind Alfa Romeo and Porsche. Yes you can avoid some of the big scary things with good maintenance but little errors like boot opening going a bit weird tend to be cause by slightly lower quality control standards. With all of this said, we still like Range Rovers and Jasper himself owns an L322, they're worth the risk.
I just bought a 2016 L405 super charged. I had a 2003 l322 v8 hse. This one drives faster, smoother, breaks much better. 8 speed is awesome. 7 inch longer cabin is super noticeable. Sound system is super great. The aluminum bidu flexes and i can hear it in the leather. I miss the flat truck like dash of the l322. The l322 has a taller cabin. Especially in the rear. Bc i enjoy boon docking in it. The electric seats do not fold down perfectly flat and i cant unscew them in minutes and take them out like the l322. L322 had more hidden storage compartments. Larger seat storage and door storage. Extra space in the tire boot. For a decent extra tool kit. The l405 air suspension seems much less likely to break down at 100k. The electronics work much better. The sunroof is massive. Its definitely more luxurious. If 405 had that same little bit of storage, i wouldnt mind the inch less of cabin roof. It gets better mpg. Its 3x faster. It handles like a bmw. I miss the box but the box looked y2k? Its a super blend of sexy and off road. It is supposedly more reliable than the 322. And that helps the pain of less grit . It does seem like it would perform better off road. Being lighter and newer technology and dimensions. Its finese i feel is unmatched. Its not a truck. Its not an suv. Its something else. .
Super review Jasper, and very timely as more of these L405s come on to the second hand market. I used to have a facelift L322 like yours and am back in the market for a RR here in Switzerland, so the L322/L405 question is very much in my head right now! I think the L322 is still the last of the proper RRs and I can’t resist that body styling.
For me the gulf in price between the 322 and 405, paired with the fact the 405 doesn't really feel any better inside, made the decision for me. The only reason I'd get the 405 is if I *had* to have the newer styling.
I would prefer the look and feel of the L322. It really is the last Range Rover that you can do proper off roady stuff with. The others are capable, don’t get me wrong, but can you imagine how stupid an L405 will look driving around town with BF Goodriches a 3 inch lift and roof mounted LEDs? The only reason to buy an L405 (for me) would be for the one thing you didn’t mention - ULEZ. Unless you chose the V8 supercharged version none of the L322s are Euro6. Which means you are increasingly restricted to suburban and rural usage, most major cities in the uk and Europe now have clean air initiatives which make the L405 (from late 2015) the only choice if wanting a diesel with the lovely 8-speed ZF box, and not having to pay a daily charge to use your car. From late 2015 (65-plate in uk) the diesels had catalysing DPFs fitted (AdBlue versions) which greatly reduced NOx particulates. There’s a whole load of interior refinements that were introduced too, including massage seats. I guess for a happy L322 owner there’s not enough to warrant a change up unless you’re affected by the onrush of cleaner air taxation. Great video, and lovely colour L405. Thanks
We'll make a deal, if this channel blows up and we can get an L405 as a project car we'll try it out as an off road build to see how it look, though we'll probably stick with air suspension because we like the flexibility of it
The infotainment is easy to upgrade, the 12.3" android system available is better than the post facelift OEM system. A HVAC screen system is also available. Both systems are plug and play and keep the original interface as an option
Hi, your rear gate is not working properly, it is look like that bottom part is not properly adjusted or tie rods are overstretched because many heavy people very often siting on it. Then bottom part need more time to lift and sensor on top gate sensing obstacle so gate will stop to continue to closing and avoid to crash to bottom gate in inappropriate ankle. This is common problem with all L405 heavy person sitting or bumping on it very often.
The one thing that I don't like about my L405 is that the rear seats don't fold down flat. I would have liked to do some camping in it but with the rear seats unable to lay flat is a major bummer.
Guess you could always look for a stand-off to allow a flat matters to be placed in above it? Gets you some extra storage between the boot floor and the bottom of the mattress too I guess?
Good vid. I’ve owned a few L322 loved them and also currently don’t have one and missing it. I’m currently looking to buy L405 sdv8 ideally a 2017 due the info entertainment was improved and age wise has plenty of legs left. The L405 has grown on me I use to think LR lost there way from the L322 but I know respect it equally to a l322 and like the looks, I believe the design is really clever and really dosent seem to age. Also the current market seems very healthy as a buyer, and the insurance seems to have chilled out over the theft drama. But will be looking at getting a tracker and ghost fitted though.
Definitely worth getting a tracker/immobiliser installed! As the latest model has been released, used prices of this generation have come down making then decently affordable to buy. Still expensive to run though!
@@BuckleUpShowyep agree but arnt all Rangys expensive. But to be honest I’ve only got a few cars that meet what I’m after and insurance and tax all on a par and serviceing. I’m currently travelling south to hopefully do a deal on a 2 owner 2017 l405 autobiography that has full lr service history and only done 60k at 27£k. I’ve considered the other options but would have a lot more mileage and equally as expensive on tax and insurance and mantanace. But the sdv8 I’ve worked on the tdv8 which is almost the same bar some extra bits. And I have a lr specialist if required around the corner. So I should be coverd
5:18 - It's not supposed to be like that. Your boot mechanism is actually faulty. I had the same problem and it was fixed when LR reprogrammed it for me.
The lower tailgate was not closing. Something was stopping it. Probably carpet. So because it didnt latch in time the top one stopped. Nothing is wrong with it as it worked as it was programmed to do.
Nice review. Love the colour, few around. The ride would be even better if the wheel size was dropped to 20”, I’ve done this on mine. The tailgate should open and close both sections with a single button push BTW. The infotainment screen was updated in 2017 and is a worthwhile improvement. The SDV8 is the best of the L405s IMHO. 👍
The colour combination on this is wonderful, and not one we'd seen before. Definitely in agreement that 20s would ride better! Glad to know about the tailgate, seems this one may just be a bit broken? The updated infotainment would definitely be an improvement as the one prior to that seems horribly dated. Jasper's still torn about whether the SDV8 or the 5.0 Supercharged Petrol is really the pick of the bunch 😂
Jasper, your presentation was fantastic. I absolutely love my 2016 L405 Autobiography in blue with the Executive Seats package. The only downsides are the expensive maintenance costs and the fact that the rear seats don't fold down when I need extra cargo space. The infotainment system is also outdated, but I plan to upgrade it soon. Overall, I'm very happy with my car.
They are excellent cars! Such luxury and comfort in a vehicle that feels like it will go anywhere. Maintenance costs come with the luxury, unfortunately. I assume the seats don't fold due to them being a higher-spec option? Thanks for the good feedback! 😁
Great review! The first years of the L322 in the states ‘03-‘05 had my favorite leather with the deepest leather valley creases and piping. In ‘06 the valley’s were still there but without the depth.
Superb comparison video. I have a supercharged Range Rover L322 and I absolutely love it. I also really appreciate the styling. I don't like the newer more elegant looking Range Rovers.
The L405 is a slightly different prospect to the other two models you mention. As an all-rounder, yes it is arguably better than them. However, for outright luxury it falls short.
It's a nice video, but.... 1. Door cards are totally different than the L322. 2. Rear space is significantly improved on the L405 compared to the L322. Check the wheelbase measurements as that is where most of the increase is 4. Construction. L322 relies on front and rear subframes to support suspension, differentials and engine. No subframes on the L405 and that is a good thing 5. The interior is of course inspired by the L322, but everything is new. Seats might have been carried over. Same with the arm rests.
Hi Jonathan, thanks for the feedback! The door cards in this, with the exception not some more gloss plastic and worse-quality door levers, are impressively similar to those in my L322. There is indeed a 42 mm increase in the wheelbase between the (second-facelifted) L322 and L405. This translates into slightly better access into the rear seats, and possibly a smidge more knee room, but not a particularly noticeable improvement at all. I do mention the all-aluminium unibody structure in the video 😁 The interior cannot be described as having "everything is new" if a pretty fundamental element (seats) are carried over. The seats themselves are identical, and the dashboard materials, layout and structure almost a direct transplant. Marginal updates in a few areas, and the moving of some buttons, but in a few cases, the materials actually felt like a small downgrade. Not sure if you've driven an L322 back to back with the L405, but while the exterior has some stark contrasts, the interior really doesn't.
Hello, wondering if you could shed any light on the Petrol 5.0Ltr Supercharged V8? With the way diesel is going now, would you recommend the petrol V8 in either the L305 or L405. Great video and pleasure to watch. I had a 09 plate RR VSE 3.6 V8 Diesel and loved it, but miss my RRS 4.2 V8 SC. Thank you in advance.
You should definitely buy a 5.0 S/C V8, and then you should let us borrow it. On a serious note, I don't think diesel will rocket ahead of petrol again like it did in the last year, the number of diesel vehicles on the road is going to start declining and in the medium term that means there will be a low demand and theoretically lower prices. If you can afford to run a petrol one though just go for it
Awesome! So…. L322 or L405 5.0 V8 SC/SVR?? Engine aside, which is the better car? I’ll be getting one within the next month, when I do, you are more than welcome to borrow it! I love this channel too by the way. Keep it going! Thank you.
Thank you for your review, please indicate Please the reliability of the vehicle of the sage and model. Would really appreciate your feedback. Thank you for your understanding
This is a 2016 Range Rover Vogue SE SDV8. A car of this age will develop faults, and will only be as reliable as its service history is good. A well looked-after car should be relatively trouble-free, but that's no guarantee. Luxury cars have more things on them to break 😂
L405 ot L322 means little to most viewers. Why not simplify things and give it's year? Say it's a model from 20xx to 20yy and be done with it? On the whole I did enjoy the video but not knowing the year of the vehicle shown lessened that enjoyment. Especially as the vehicle was wearing a " trick " reg plate which no app recognized.
The L322 ran from 2002-2012, the L405 from 2012-2022. The "66" on this plate tells you the model was registered in the second half of 2016 (technically between September 2016 and February 2017). No trick numberplate here, the fact it's not recognised simply means that the person who purchased the car after we had filmed it has installed a private numberplate ☺️
@Buckle Up Yes I'm aware of the laws relating to seat belts I've had a Full licence since before 1983 and Range Rovers were part of our company car fleet in 1980. The point I was making as I'm sure you are aware of, is that you don't seem to be wearing one when you're driving!
Few things, Ross: 1) No, I wasn't aware of the point you were trying to make - I missed it entirely as it was such a ridiculous suggestion that I wouldn't be wearing a seatbelt. (My name is not Rishi Sunak) 2) If a tree falls over in the forest, it DOES make a noise even if you aren't there to hear it 3) Every time I lift my left elbow off the armrest you can just see the belt against my coat (the belt is slightly darker than the coat is). 4) Do you REALLY think that in a modern car I'd be able to drive it for the best part of 40 minutes while filming the driving segment without it beeping at me constantly? 5) I have raw footage of me putting the belt on at the start of the driving segment. 6) This UA-cam channel is literally called "Buckle Up", it would be a poor show if I wasn't able to put one on. 7) Anyone with half a brain cell can work out that you cannot see the entirety of the B-Pillar due to the camera framing, so you therefore have to check other areas of the frame to see if one is being worn (but I'm sure you're aware of this) - the way my coat creases up weirdly near my left hip is another clue that there is, in fact, a seatbelt there. 8) When the Instagram post goes up for this video, I will include the bit where I put my seatbelt on for you - your concern for my health is greatly appreciated :)
I think the 17 year model is the sweet spot as the screen is updated so it's the same as the 18s graphics.Also I prefer this year's model looks over the facelift 18.
Still got it, and we would definitely recommend a 4.4 Vogue SE. It is worth noting though that other notable motoring authorities (Harry Metcalfe & some bloke called Jeremy Clarkson) have made a video this last weekend singing the praises of the 3.6 so you wouldn't be disappointed either way
Too many snide remarks about Land Rover product reliability. I owned three LR Discoveries (80k miles/6 years) and bought a new RR Vogue in 2020 (35k now) all without any significant problems.

The colour is just terrific.
Isn't it just? I'd not see one in this gorgeous shade before, but it's great!
@@BuckleUpShow I've never seen one is this colour either. Most of them are in Santorini Black.

The back doors on the L405 do both close and mesh together. The one you tested has a problem. Give Land rover more credit than that.
Yes, they should. The concept was good but the execution (as a failure such as shown here is quite common) is not quite up to scratch!

Thanks for sharing! There is in fact a video review of the L322 on the channel 😁😁
Great video, love the colour
It's a rare but gorgeous colour. Looks especially wonderful in the sun 👌👌
10:30 the biggest problem with L322 is rust, and the older they get, the bigger the problem is
The unfortunate reality of being steel-based as opposed to aluminium-based
Excellent review Jasper . Very informative and great presentation
Thank you kindly, and thanks for loaning the car!
Superb comparison video. I have a supercharged Range Rover L322 and I absolutely love it. I also really appreciate the styling. I don't like the newer more elegant looking Range Rovers.
Thank you for the feedback, Qasim! There is something nice and sturdy about the styling of the L322 in comparison with the L405 😁

keep going you're doing really well. test the new defender against the new soon.
Thanks, will do!
Loved my l322 but love my l405 a whole lot more it’s night and day difference
What year of L322 did you move from?
if i live in a city and only do 5000 miles a year shall i get the petrol or the diesel?
Petrol. But also if you're living in a city consider getting a smaller car as a full-sized Range Rover may be a little difficult to deal with!
Easier test is to check bank balance when deciding
True, but it does also depend on what you want in/from the car 😅

Yes, all cars sold in the UK since 1965 had to have seatbelts installed, and wearing them became mandatory on 31st January 1983
The second thing I don't see is a link to Eaton cars😮

@Buckle Up Yes I'm aware of the laws relating to seat belts I've had a Full licence since before 1983 and Range Rovers were part of our company car fleet in 1980. The point I was making as I'm sure you are aware of, is that you don't seem to be wearing one when you're driving!
Few things, Ross:
1) No, I wasn't aware of the point you were trying to make - I missed it entirely as it was such a ridiculous suggestion that I wouldn't be wearing a seatbelt. (My name is not Rishi Sunak)
2) If a tree falls over in the forest, it DOES make a noise even if you aren't there to hear it
3) Every time I lift my left elbow off the armrest you can just see the belt against my coat (the belt is slightly darker than the coat is).
4) Do you REALLY think that in a modern car I'd be able to drive it for the best part of 40 minutes while filming the driving segment without it beeping at me constantly?
5) I have raw footage of me putting the belt on at the start of the driving segment.
6) This UA-cam channel is literally called "Buckle Up", it would be a poor show if I wasn't able to put one on.
7) Anyone with half a brain cell can work out that you cannot see the entirety of the B-Pillar due to the camera framing, so you therefore have to check other areas of the frame to see if one is being worn (but I'm sure you're aware of this) - the way my coat creases up weirdly near my left hip is another clue that there is, in fact, a seatbelt there.
8) When the Instagram post goes up for this video, I will include the bit where I put my seatbelt on for you - your concern for my health is greatly appreciated :)
Shame it breaks constantly
Not constantly, just consistently 😅
Stopped watching at the comment 'having to open the bonnet a lot because it's a JLR product". If you don't like it, review something else.
Literally owned an L322, you can like something and also acknowledge it's faults
I think the 17 year model is the sweet spot as the screen is updated so it's the same as the 18s graphics.Also I prefer this year's model looks over the facelift 18.
Oh is it worth the upgrade, of course it is. L322 is still lovely though.
Newer infotainment is almost always the thing to go for (with the exception of the garbage that VW fitted to the latest Golf and ID. range 😂)
To me it looks like a Mini or Suzuki Swift. I much prefer the L322. Sorry.
No need to be sorry, we're not an L405
@@BuckleUpShow I know you have an L322 or had one. I intend to get one. I think the 2011 or 2012 4.4 Diesel Vogue. I just need to find a good one.
Still got it, and we would definitely recommend a 4.4 Vogue SE. It is worth noting though that other notable motoring authorities (Harry Metcalfe & some bloke called Jeremy Clarkson) have made a video this last weekend singing the praises of the 3.6 so you wouldn't be disappointed either way
This lad really doesn’t know much about the L405. Should have watched a review first
Are you able to shed some light as to which bits it is you take issue with? 😊
im 8 mins into this and im thinking this guy shouldnt of done a review on a range rover
So owning an L322 and being quite familiar with the brand doesn't make him qualified?
obviously not @@BuckleUpShow
Why not?
boring.
Thank you for the feedback; are you please able to tell us which bit your attention span couldn't manage?
