- Which is the king of the 4X4’s? Decades of development and a no compromise build quality or advanced technology that just keeps evolving?
I have been given the opportunity to drive two cars that fall into my dream category. I look inside and out and importantly check to see which is best to tow with.
A look at a lottery winning dilemma. Which one would you choose?

Best review you have done to date! - No school run just an honest car review. Well done mate!
G Code thank you. It’s really difficult to please everyone. Lots of people love the school run chat so I try to balance things but I really enjoyed filing this review. Thanks for your comments 👍
Let's face it, the days of the gas/diesel car/truck are fast approaching obsolescence, and I shudder to think of what you might be offered for your V8 range rover in about another 5 years, no one will want them or be rich enough to pay to run them. What about the mpg of the RR pulling 2 horses? 12 mpg? I shudder at the cost and then there is the cost of annual maintenance. My Model X is 21 months old and still no need for a check up - so cheap to run 360Km costs me $7 Canadian (4 pounds?) and that is if I have to pay for the electricity; and on long runs it is all superchargers and FREE.
Great Video Ryan, keep them coming. How about a video comparing tyre and brake costs of 2 vehicles like thse?
"What about the mpg of the RR pulling 2 horses? 12 mpg? "? I usually get about 20 mpg pulling my daughters horsebox with her 17.2 hands Showjumper in it and I have a range of 400 miles or so. You just couldn't do that in a Tesla.
The Range Rover with the Rivian power pack and drive units please!
william armstrong oooooo! Now you’re talking 😁👍
I have always thought of that too.
I think you said the MX was 0.3metres wider than the Range Rover. I would always favour an EV simply because it is better for our future. However, 0.3 metres in width does not make it 'almost the same size'. I don't know what countryside you live near, but 0.3m is virtually 12 inches (1 foot) wider. In Dorset with the narrow lanes, 12 inches is the difference between passing an oncoming car or vanishing through a hedge to avoid a nasty collision!
michaelahall2 I guess size is relative 😳. Both cars are big and living in Dorset I have driven both along some very narrow lanes. They are big but hide it deceptively well. I suppose if you are worried about the width then avoid either of these 😁👍
I was going to say similar. 0.3 m larger than 2m is 15 % that's sounds far more significant.
It's .03 not .3
@@TomekEV at 2:12 he says the LR is 2m wide and the Model X 2.3m wide. Was that a mistake ?
Yes.@@GlennPierce
Fabulous looking cars, I would have leased an X but the figures didn’t add up, that’s if you can make sense of them. We opted for the Rangerover Sport PHEV p400d which will be all,electric for our local daily trips plus able to tow the caravan on weekends and holidays. Couldn’t lease one from Landrover, just too expensive but leasing from on-line finance houses was a doddle so bye, bye diesel Evoque (which Landrover wouldn’t take in P/X even though it came from their group) and hello PHEV. I reckon by the time the lease runs out in 2023/24 Rangerover will be fully electric or the X pricing will make financial sense.
One thing I'd love to know is how much it costs to fill up. How much would it cost to travel 100 miles?
Yeah. What's the real mpg on the Range Rover in real UK road operation.
@@psblue12 Towing a fully laden horsebox? About 20 mpg.
@@psblue12 I have exactly that Range Rover. Does 32 mpg if you drive reasonably at 70 mph (not towing, obvs).
👍🏽 For Model X. I currently drive a RR, and next change would certainly be a SU(V) - EV Just waiting to see Rivian R1S give a little competition to Model X and comparing the two. 😊
If I was towing, i would go for range rover. You get better range when towing and you can tow heavier trailers.
Steve W that’s valid if you need to tow 3.5 tonnes a long way. But if you’re towing up to 2.75 tonnes then the torque of the Tesla will be an easy choice for me. And the cost of any trip will be vastly cheaper in the model X. Maintenance again, much cheaper with the Tesla. I’d like to know what the towing capacity of the X is with smaller wheels ie bigger profile tyres. You need more air if you’re going to carry heavy loads, the 20” rims aren’t the best option for a work horse.
It's weird how the world works. I own exactly that Range Rover Sport Autobiography, and I'm considering a Nissan Leaf for my work commute!
The kids in the back will have their smartphones and devices to watch something on and that works just fine.in fact, using smartphones may be preferable because they have so much portability and multi-functionality whereas the devices that are mounted into these seats only do one thing. Again, it was a nice idea for its time but it is the old way of thinking.
Cool man I hope to see you on Sunday..
Hi Ryan, I didn't know you had a twin brother. Excellent video work. Enjoyed the comparison and like you I wanted a Range Rover when I was younger!
It's time to add more technical detail to Car comparisons, for example rear suspension systems, battery cooling and cabin heating methods used. Brake Fluid DOT 4, or permanent Dot 5 Silicon fluid, Electric power steering, Tubeless or Run Flat tyres, Home-Solar backup kit.
Your best video to date for sure. I driven Range rover vogue, Model X, and Model 3 performance plus i own a P85 Model S, 85K miles 5 years. Im afraid the Rangy feels like a ponderous Gucci handbag last gasp compared to the Teslas spaceship ride. Then i save £220 a week in fuel, congestion change and dont chuff out 4 ton of C02.
At present a reasonably good comparison however once rivian has been released on the market then we will see the comparison between them and Land Rover
Completely electric Range Rover would be my dream car. Make it so......
Yes, honest. It is important that everybody recognizes and understands the tremendous arm that comes from the tailpipe of internal combustion engine vehicles, especially diesel vehicles.remember, if you shot yourself in a garage with one of these things and it is running for 20 or 30 minutes you will likely die due to the noxious fumes. Just because it is not in a garage or most of the time it is running does not mean that it is not dangerous. We all swim in the same fish bowl, so to speak, and we all have to breathe the same air, so that's not fill it up with a bunch of disgusting pollution that chokes us all out, gives us cancer and increases healthcare costs by billions of dollars all the while killing us prematurely and slowly. This is a preventable problem. I realize there is atransition. But that. Could read dramatically shortened and we will all be better off for it. So I say keep the special effects in the video with fumes/PM 2.5 spewing out of the back of the ICE vehicle. It gets the point across.
You mix gasoline and diesel. You dont die being in a garage with a diesel Engine on. You get pretty sick tho.
Great review, thanks for detailed comparison.
you can not put roof racks on the model X , it stopped me from buying it
A possible alternative: www.xrack.us/
In terms of luxuryI agree that the range Rover is more luxurious and probably slightly better made. However, one must consider the impact on the rest of the world of the interior. The Model X probably has an interior that has a lower carbon impact and is less harmful in its production then they range Rover. For that reason, I would choose the model X interior. Not because it's better but because it is better (from a bird's eye view, so to speak; big picture), if that makes sense. I think it is a small sacrifice to make up for not much benefit.
as far as just taking out the internal combustion engine of the range Rover and tossing in some batteries and an electric motor, I wish it were that simple.it is well known that Tesla is at least 7 and probably more like 10 years out of the competition in terms of their propulsion system. Not that other manufacturers can't make a propulsion system, they can, but when you look at the Jaguar I pace, for example, it is just so much less efficient then any Tesla vehicle. if you put the same battery pack in the range Rover as they model X has it would probably get 40% less range because of the huge difference in drag coefficient and much heavier design with traditional steel and the like. It's really not a fair comparison because the range Rover wasbuilt on old technology and decades-old way of thinking where has a Tesla Model X is built from the ground up to be an electric vehicle. If you just swap out the batteries and tossing a motor or two then you're so going to have a vehicle that is extremely heavy and kind of like driving a brick through the air. It just not going to be that good.
Phew! At times, I kept thinking that you were going to make the wrong choice, Ryan. 😃But common sense prevailed. Thanks, Ryan.
I've heard comment that the central screen is a single point of failure for the X. My response is, 'So what? The ignition key (etc,) is an SPF for a Range Rover. The objection is irrelevant.'.All vehicles, including Shanks's Pony, have their failure points.
RWBHere indeed they do. The screens can go wrong but hold 2 buttons down on the steering wheel and it resets 👍
Range Rover do sell an electric version as well, of course!
Great video, my choice is neither as X is over-engineered and R.R. has no plug. Somehow your arm changed at 13:38 went short sleeves to long sleeve green colour top just briefly. ;)
There is an EV Range Rover coming in future as Fully Charged has tested a concept of it. If was a EV Range Rover that could tow then yes I'm in.
Good review Ryan, and very relevant because for EVs to continue taking off, they will have to appeal to all current ICE vehicle drivers, including current Range Rover drivers.
Not as tow vehicles.
I'm a Range Rover driver, considering buying a Leaf!
Cracking episode chap
Good review BUT how far can you go on one charge compared to a full tank of fuel ?
What is the wading depth on the Model X? What is the clearance? approach, ramp and departure angles.
What is the likelihood a Range Rover goes off-road. What does it cost to repair a Range Rover when it gets a scrape due to off road use. How many soccer moms fit in a Range Rover. Lol.
@@smartelectriccar And?
Disappointed, I thought this would involve tying together and seeing which won.
If your towing then the RR is the only choice near 400 mile range so 200 miles each way. Tesla 180 ish then that only 90 miles if you don't want to charge etc .. can I have both ?
The Rivian should shake things up a bit.
Mark Southee it certainly should. I’m looking forward to seeing it 😁👍
Mark Southee it certainly should. I’m looking forward to seeing it 😁👍
X for me, 7 seat 100D 20 inch wheels. Fits my family... You can't get a 7 seat range rover.
Would you plse. park them side by side? Send a pic. from a side view of how the X looks parked in front with the Ranger in the background.
The Ranger looks the size of an elephant while the X looks like a small hatchback( remember the 4 -cylinder little cars (from the U. S.?)
It is hard for me, based on the exterior look of the X to believe it is actually a SUV
The Tesla Model X is the car of your future with no gas and oil changes and smog checks and elevated shop repairs. This is just an opinion based are lack of big auto manufactures passing the buck
to keep supporting BIG OIL and GAS.
If the Model X was really a foot wider than the Range Rover it would be ridiculous but it isn't. You've compared the width of the Model X over the mirrors to the width of a Range Rover NOT including the mirrors. They're actually almost the same width which is still annoyingly wide. Having said that I still prefer the Range Rover because it doesn't look like a nineties Vauxhall Vectra.
Model X looks so much more futuristic and modern than boring Range Rover. The only Range Rover i like is the SVR with lion-roar like V8.
I will take the Range Rover any day I bet that model x can't cross that field if it was to rain and if it freezes over the doors don't open. The air intake at the front that goes directly to the massively expensive filter is prone to mice crawling up there and eating away at it and you guessed it tesla won't cover that under the warranty. The coolant tank level for the batteries is hidden under panels that you can't remove with out voiding the warranty you have to take it to tesla for a simple coolant level check something that should be accessible to the driver. If they went to a well established car maker and put there heads together it could be so much more.
At the end of the day, future proof technology, stylish curves, and efficiency will win over a luxurious interior any day. Pretty has never been smart and that's all.
Rangerover 😍👌👌
Range, Range, Range, I love electric vehicles, but I wouldn’t like to travel 180 miles and then start to worrying about getting a reliable charger to my vehicle, whilst now I can just fill-up and enjoy my holiday
Martin Harris with the tesla super charger network you rarely have problems and the model x tells you were the next charger is and how long to charge to make it to your destenation. Tesla bjorn bjorn nyland on youtube has towed campers , boats and trailers with his x optimus prime doing lots of deliveries over thousands of miles.
Mark Fitzpatrick yer the closest supercharger to my home is 40km, now that is a worry, I think I will change my vehicle when I get confidence in the supercharging network.
@@martinharris5782 why worry about how close it is to your home ? It is when you are 200miles out you need to find where the charger is. start from home with 100% unless you cant charge at home, then it is only a question of where the closest charger is to you. i got a rapid charger 3miles from where i live.
The Range Rover has had its time, but would its still hold the same price if it had an electric drive train? The X is the best modern car by far.
"The Range Rover has had its time"? You've never towed a fully laden horsebox with either a RR or a Tesla, have you?
@@Alan_Mac I'm ex forces, I've towed more than a horse box my friend.
Why didn't you treat the phev range rover?
Update: 2019 Model X is 4.4 seconds to 60 mph and Performance Model X ...2.7 seconds . Nuff said! Bye SVR
Gorilla Toyz but for me, I live on a hilly island. No need for 0-60 in 2.? Seconds.......
Winner!!
The Model X 90D
Oh hey thanks for pinning! Best: Tesla Model X 90D
This is basically nonsense. No sane person would pull a fully laden horsebox with a vehicle limited to 2.2 tonnes and a range of 100 miles and compare it to a RR - unless you're pulling a garden trailer loaded with a rocking horse. The unladen weight of our trailer is 1.6 tonnes and my daughter's nag weighs in at about 600 kg and we often do round trips of more than 100 miles. Add water, tack and the paraphernalia associated with a long day's showjumping and we couldn't even leave the yard if we used a Tesla.
My RR 4.4 SDV8 can easily pull the above, we can also take another horse (and often do) with minimal effort and have a range of 350-400 miles which makes round-trips anxiety-free. You're comparing apples and pears here, mate.
That model x can't legally tow that trailer fully laden for starters
Spends years breaking down on their customers,, im amazed they sell any. .
Tesla doesn’t offer a fully armoured version, end of argument 😉
I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic or not tbh..
They don't but there is a company offering am armourd model s
Tis early days for Tesla. Land Rover has had over 70 years and multi owners to develop this vehicle.
Why dont you show all specs on screen. So annoying to listen to exact number and compare in real time.
Klod apologies. It takes hours to edit these videos and I have a real job and a family so have to draw the line somewhere. I was aware that there were a lot of numbers but ran out of time to edit them all in before the publishing time. If you need to see everything I’d be happy to point you to a web site with all the numbers 😁👍
This is your choice. You have decided to publish the video. It would be better to check all the specifications in the table. When I started listening to these specifications, I just lost all interest. Good. Is it wider ... or not ... well, was it longer ... 0.3 or 0.03 m? Hmm ... rewind ... or not, it doesn't matter. So all your hard work will not be so highly appreciated. I may be mistaken, maybe I am the only one and everyone liked this option.
Klod I hope so 😁👍
wow, you have to be very british to think the bulkiness of the range rover is well proportioned
Whats with the shirt?
Model x of course and you forgot the autopilot
The model X has 6 seats not 7 16:26
This one does in fact have six seats, but you have the option of replacing the middle row with three seats as well, giving you seven.
So the only thing that makes the tesla appealing to many is just that is electric. I've driven both, and yes tesla has plenty of power, but th interior is quite boring. And I didn't like that. Is like the tesla model 3 interior design is shit. It has just a tablet. That's it. Nothing else.
You’ve lost it. Reviewing a Range Rover 😂. Why. It’s an EV channel. Last thing one of us use look at let alone buy
I don't think the range rover will drive far on a tank of diesel since it is a petrol. And nobody driving a V8 supercharged is concerned about fuel. The SDV6 is relevant.
Personal opinion. The Model X is ugly. Looks like an inflated model S.
If you want an electric car you want a efficient car and not a SUV. Model 3 or model S, yes, but not the ugly and inefficient model X.
Just a quick one, the Range Rover is actually petrol
It's actually the 4.4 sdv8
Right you are, he just said it was a 5.0 Litre Supercharged at 3:17 which is petrol, so hence the confusion
@@HGyurgyak The 5.0 L version very rare, that was for the US market. But you are right, he was wrong about the engine size
reng rover
Can the X tow the Range into hell?
Land rover actually has the cleanest desel engines in terms of noX at the moment.
For a give value of ''clean'' it still kicks out tonnes of CO2
@@williamarmstrong7199 I know but I just find it ironic.
I normally like your videos and this was a good one BUT your conclusion was so obviously biased it's untrue... Apart from the lack of a gearbox in the Model X the RR smokes it just about everywhere (yes smoke pun intended). I know EV's are the future and I love tech but but that Model X interior looks dark, bland and depressing compared to the RR... In fact watching the video it looks like Tesla has just thrown some deckchairs in the back...! You should have compared the model X to something a lot more basic but I guess for the cost of the Tesla you can't... When you see some of the EV designs coming from other car makers it's clear that Tesla needs to up their game - Does anyone really get excited when they see a Tesla in the flesh? I know I don't...
Let's compare apples to poisoned oranges. GG, EZ. DISLIKE
Comparing the worlds best 4x4 with a Tesla model X 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Spends years breaking down on their customers,, im amazed they sell any. .
Eh? Mine has over 100,000 miles on the clock and has never broken down. I know lots of people who, like me, use Range Rovers or Discoveries to pull horseboxes and they are tremendous for the job. What's your own experience?
