I have a ‘24 Sport P550e Autobio that I’ve been driving for about four months. I’ve had a lot of SUVs over the years - Range Rovers (several Sports, a Defender90, etc.) as well as a slew of BMWs (including the current gen X6M) - but the new PHEV Sport is my favorite by far. I hadn’t driven one when I ordered it, but I’d spent a decent amount of time in the PHEV X5 and assumed it would be similar. In my experience, the Range Rover is even better. I think it’s the best looking SUV out there, the seats are otherworldly, and the performance is superb. My daily commute is about 45 miles, so I’ve been doing it on electric only. Unlike the X5 PHEV, it never feels underpowered (but the gas engine *will* assist if I slam the throttle to merge) and is exceptionally smooth. The range estimates (usually 53-56 miles on a full charge) are pretty accurate, too, although I’ll be curious to see if that changes in the winter. Overall, though, I’m SO pleased. It gives me hope for Land Rover’s electric future.
I absolutely love landrover! I can’t wait for my 2025 Sport to Deliver this October! It’ll be my third landrover product and they’ve all been incredible! I can’t imagine driving anything else moving forward. I want to try the Bentayga though!
Cadillac, Lincoln, and infinity with their imax cinema screen from left to right will probably force range rover to do something similar for their future models. These big screens are crazy
I've been watching reviews on this car as I have had one on order for about 6 months and it is coming in about a week. First, this was a really nice review, well focused on design elements and a lot of fun to watch. Not sure about some of these crazy comments; Joe, you are hilarious, and I laughed out loud several times - so thanks for keeping it fun and interesting. Second, commenters certainly have some strong opinions about the brand, the looks, the name, the mpg, their favorite product that is not the reviewed vehicle (Caddy, Mazda, Lexus, etc.). Everyone's entitled, of course, but I have had one of the new Defenders for 3 years and it has been flawlessly reliable, and the RRS PHEV will something like the 15th LR/ Jag product we've had, and while there have been a couple that had some issues, on the whole I would rate the reliability at around 80-85% that of BMW on average (also had a bunch of those too). Thanks again, Joe - great job!
50 miles on electric hits the sweet spot. Nice to have ICE backup. But I really do believe IQ will be king of the road. So much incredible tech and design in that one.
Hey Joe I'm so happy to watch your videos in Japan. From your videos not only I can get precious information about cars but also can learn English. Speaking of this car, in my personal value, Range Rover would fit more to a traditional luxury trim such as a combination of wood trim and leather seat like 2nd generation of Range Rover had in the interior. But I like that the rear wiper is located at the top of the window.
Joe, how would you compare the level of sound isolation and quietness in the cabin of this Range vs. the Rolls Royce Cullinan you drove? Which one do you feel is better at it?
I like this 2025 Range Rover Sport but I prefer the current 2024 Cadillac Escalade Sport Platinum. 2025 Range Rover is fast but it’s just boring and The tech is lacking🤷♂️
No one reviews a vehicle like you! You're my fave!!! Range Rovers are special and dreamy - but in my opinion - this looks a bit dated. Maybe I've been watching a few too many fancy car videos lately. LOL
I really like Range Rover regardless of their issues of reliability. I personally don't and would not by an EV maybe a hybrid but not plug in. I see most manufacturers a scaling back on production of EV's for multiple reasons. Not a fan of the Black Wheels and fake vents are stupid. I have a VW Cross Sport and the gloss black is just horrible. I was wonder if I could get it wrapped with something else do you know if it is a doable Joe? Rear wheel steer is awesome and take off would be fun... Nice ride for sure.
100% Behind your opinion about the Twizzlers joe! I feel like I'm biting into some candle wax too :| I'll check the comments, maybe there's a replacement candy I need to know about :D . Oh.. Nice car yeah...
@@Durrellsdreams1077if you want to spend money on repairs go for it but if you value your money get something else that will be reliable. This guy who you asked about his vehicle clearly has issues so he didnt reply to you
These are nice. I guess the reliability is always the elephant in the room with Range Rover. These Autobiography plug in trims are likely a better choice with the less sporty standard model. All that extra hybrid weight doesn't scream sporty in my book. Zonk! And, Joe, I was hoping you were going to demonstrate that 3 ft river fording ability during the test drive. Cadillac IQ is in another league, I think.
I own a 2024 Dodge Hornet RT plus and there are a lot of similarities in how these two vehicles are laid out. The seamless operation between EV and engine use. How the display shows all this. Now. Before the internet comes crashing down on me😮 I am NOT saying the two are the same. 😂
I was originally set to buy the IQ but then bought a 2025 RRS PHEV instead. Why? 1) I needed the tax deduction for my business for this year and could not wait until next year for the IQ, 2) The IQ fully loaded will top $150K, 3) Although the IQ has an estimated EV range of 460 miles which is excellent for now, I think the range will double on the EVs coming out in a few years which will plummet the values of today's EVs, 4) There are too many reports of EV prices continuing to soften as well as the cost of lithium ion batteries, 5) No other SUV today compares in looks/styling to the RRS, imo + the IQ does not have flush door handles!
IMO, there are two main reasons having all the HVAC controls contained in the touchscreen is the absolute worst trend automakers are doing today. First there is no muscle memory as to button location like in a non-touchscreen dependent system. Which means your eyes come off the road every time you want to adjust something. Second, if that software crashes or a hardware element that supports the screen display fails - you now have no way to control not only the HVAC, but just about everything else. Stupid. Just plain stupid.
We just got the 460 dynamic, 535hp, it is unique, I still love my Ford f450 over some weak ass Range Rover, love my bad ass 450 over a over priced car that does zero, makes me zero dollars, what a waste of money
I wouldn't have a POS Range Rover if they gave the thing to me! I'd take an Escalade any day over anything with a Land Rover/Ranger Rover name attached to it.
The Cadillac Escalade Iq kicks this Range Rover to the curb IMO, the Iq's door to door (55-inch curved LED display) that spans almost the entire width of the dashboard is awesome with 4k and 8k resolutions and the leather interior is sublime. The Iq's have massage 2nd row seats and nice 12" entertainment screens for the kids or guests with Google built in. -------- While both are way too expensive the Iq is more eye catching inside and outside so if you can afford either one the Iq is nicer. ------------ I do like the Range Rovers power and that it is a hybrid but its interior is a mixed bag of nice seats but cheap black plastics and an info screen that looks super cheap like it was bought at Walmart and glued onto the dash. I don't know if Range Rover still has a lot of mechanical issues or not but over the years they have become known for lots of mechanical problems and expensive repairs and low ownership satisfaction ratings.

Armrest is there signature.
Yep, fully adjustable too.
Hey Raiti! I was hoping for my birthday next month we could get the ultimate garage tour 🤞
Well, if it is your birthday then I will see if we can get it done. The challenge is the weather is so terrible this time of the year
@RaitisRides No worries, Joe 👍 If not, I could just take an autographed box of twinkies signed by the Raiti's Rides team 😀
I seen some Darth Vader cake bites on eBay. Haha that might be the perfect gift for a Sith Lord! @@RaitisRides
I actually tried those cake bites. They taste good! 👍
Don't know if it's better but I prefer hybrid over full electric.
Smart move Omar
Please include what kind of warranty and if there is any complimentary services included, would be helpful. Great review as always .
Range Rover is the " Femme Fatale" of cars 💘
Great review, great vehicle. Thanks for the detail.
You are so very welcome Jeremy
Joe and Lori and Steve keep up the good work real true and I love the video 👍

50 miles on electric hits the sweet spot. Nice to have ICE backup. But I really do believe IQ will be king of the road. So much incredible tech and design in that one.
Fully loaded, the IQ will fetch over $150K, $30K more than the RR.
Ok that take-off was impressive!
They finally figured it out. This is a proper rig.
I like both of them and understanding the pros and cons for both is something important. I see both being a great SUV.
The Range Rover looks really cool
I’m so glad that you like this one
I like the interior of that Range Rover. Plus it can store twinkies 😀
And you can chill your Twinkies
Yes of course Joe & I would love to buy this.

Nice review of the Range Rover Joe and nice call out of the chintzy autobiography badge.
Joe, how would you compare the level of sound isolation and quietness in the cabin of this Range vs. the Rolls Royce Cullinan you drove? Which one do you feel is better at it?
I was dead set on the IQ. I instead just put a deposit on a 2025 RR Sport Dynamic SE PHEV.
22:18 🚀🚀🔥🔥
Amazing review Joe.
Love That Range Rover Sport😍❤️🏁🚙💨!!!
Love your car video Joe
I’m so glad that I can share my car passion with you!
@@RaitisRides Just keep them coming
You are funny. I love it.
Thanks for letting me share the SUVs and the laughs for you
Does Range Rover offer any lane centering driver assistance. I keep hoping they will finally add that to their lineup.
Nice vehicle!
Looks lovely
I agree
I’m so glad that you like this one
13:00 Raiti's right, I also saw that keyfob design on Noah's arc as well 😂
Raiti - For a goof, you should review one of these dealers cheapest car on the used lot, might be fun.
Hi , I like your channel ! Any idea when they are coming with full electric
Love the British 🇬🇧 SUV Phev
This is the first JLR PHEV in the USA? We’ve had them in the UK since 2021
Although I like Escalades, I think I’ll prefer the 2025 Range Rover Sport Autobiography as a luxury SUV..
Oh wow! That’s serious
I like this 2025 Range Rover Sport but I prefer the current 2024 Cadillac Escalade Sport Platinum. 2025 Range Rover is fast but it’s just boring and The tech is lacking🤷♂️
You should do a car review near wesley chapel!! Love your passion for cars and the reviews

🎉🎉 like it❤
I’m so glad to hear that
How many Twinkies fit in the door pockets?
I appreciate your response to my comment yesterday, Joe! Feeling great after surgery, healing well.
That’s so wonderful to hear David!
I love the fake vents up front because without them, you'll just see a boring white bumpers!@@RaitisRides
I have a deposit on a Cadillac Escalade IQ. But I’m worried about how large it is. This might be a better option. Thoughts?

I have a 2023 Range Rover sport autobiography amazing suv I get 59 miles on ev mode
I take the X5 50i plug in
Joe, get your agent to have one of those candy company to sponsor Raiti's Ride!

Cool...
When you add an electric motor you have to put it on a V6 instead of those 2.0 4 cylinder engines
It is not on a 4 cylinder engine
This is NOT I repeat not their first PHEV. I have a 2021 RRS in my garage right now I believe it started in 2019.
Of wow that is crazy cool!
How has reliability been for you? Contemplating it being my next vehicle
@@Durrellsdreams1077if you want to spend money on repairs go for it but if you value your money get something else that will be reliable. This guy who you asked about his vehicle clearly has issues so he didnt reply to you
@@Durrellsdreams1077 the software can be glitchy in my 2021. But no other issues. For me.
I like the EV part of the engine, but I like the 5 liter V8 engine sound on the Defender 110 more, and the Defender 110 looks better.
2025 Range Rover Sport PHEV P550e Autobiography Dynamic SE 4X4!
I had a 2018 made in the UK, are these made in India now or are they still made in the UK?
Lovely vehicle except for that infotainment center. It looks a bit stuck on and weird. Not really feeling it🤷🏾♂️
I'll be glad when they redesign these things. They all look the same
It will be interesting to see what they do
$126k wow, bought a nice home for about that price back ‘99.
These are nice. I guess the reliability is always the elephant in the room with Range Rover. These Autobiography plug in trims are likely a better choice with the less sporty standard model. All that extra hybrid weight doesn't scream sporty in my book. Zonk! And, Joe, I was hoping you were going to demonstrate that 3 ft river fording ability during the test drive.

This so such a very good point!
Not "Nohas" fob from the Arc 😂😂😂
He said stupid, "That is a first for me 😂😂😂😂😂
Thanks for letting me share some laughs with you!
Good morning joe,i have to get one
This guy would drive me insane if he was sat behind me in a restaurant

That is so very true!
How long til it’s in the shop for “maintenance”
❤❤❤❤❤
It’s a jock car like the convertible jock they made before !!!
For $126 k sorry Joe we can’t start at the door panels 🤣🤣🤣🤷🏾♂️
I feel your pain brother
This guy is a 5 foot liberal nerd 😅
Amazing luxury engineering,quite remarkable, probaly the best you can buy. But my god you will have to pay big bucks for it.
It is pricey to say the least!
oh no, not fake vents, very gloss black heavy in the interior. Nice plug in that doesn't look like a plug in.
That is so very true Davonne!

Do you like this one a little?
@@RaitisRides Maybe if it was an EREV
We just got the 460 dynamic, 535hp, it is unique, I still love my Ford f450 over some weak ass Range Rover, love my bad ass 450 over a over priced car that does zero, makes me zero dollars, what a waste of money
Probably probably not. Ut range is the joint
Oh no…….Range Rover PHEV……..more stuff to break 😂
Oh no….another informed uneducated comment.
You freaking crack me up!
I've had my range rover for over a year now and nothing has gone wrong
@@PeterSothernJust wait until it gets over 80K miles. That's when the problems start.
@@danieltovar6151what car doesn’t have any issues over 80k? Don’t say Toyota because I’ve owned 4 that all had even minor issues over 60k+
It must have a large battery to be able to get 53 miles of EV range.
Well, it is a large vehicle that is for sure
You lease those, never ever buy or keep after warranty.
👍👍👍👍
Do your research it's been out for 2 years + as a plug in
Thanks for your great intel!
Horrid gauges and infotainment but the rest looks great minus the hybrid part
Maybe you will like it more when you see it in person.
I PREFER THE ACURA MDX..THIS IS JUST A BIG CARTON
if I had to go SUV id pick a Range Rover sport but not an EV plug in no thank you.
"Autobiography" 😂 Imagine the kind of personality that buys this trim line.
Takes all kinds that is for sure!
😂😂😂
Whomever buys this better like the dealership they bought it from. Will be their 2nd home. 😂
I see what you did there
11:43 hey, that's racist.
I rather go with the bigger Land Rover or the Porshe Cayene GTS. This Range has no stance on the roada
EV’s suck imo but I am warming up to the hybrids in some vehicles
Hybrid is the better way to go
I wouldn't have a POS Range Rover if they gave the thing to me! I'd take an Escalade any day over anything with a Land Rover/Ranger Rover name attached to it.
🤎🤎🤎
Pluging electric hybrid range rover this would give the vehicle more extra causes to get break every single day
why dont I like its look?

@@RaitisRides and buttons and switches
Lease for a couple years max and be done with it. Beautiful looking. Absolute worst reliability.
