  • For a mark that prides itself in tradition, the Land Rover brand has seen quite a transformation recently with all-new highly modernized versions of their iconic Defender and the Range Rover. Well, now it’s time for a total revamp of the Range Rover’s smaller sibling, the Range Rover Sport. And it looks like it learned a lot from its big brother. #LandRover #RangeRoverSport #RangeRover

    For years my wife's dream car was the RRS, so she finally purchased one back in 2019. Two months ago we traveled from SC to VA, with less than 28K miles, this thing broke down on I-95 at the NC/VA border with no warning lights... got it towed to LR dealership, its still there broke down. Externally love it, under the hood, run away

    The performance threshold on track and off road has to make super Rovers a very hard car to design tires for. Will be more road performance aimed most likely, but would still need to have some off road performance.

    My bank will no longer finance Range Rovers. Turns out people trying to look rich with moderate or moderately high incomes are the only ones who buy these, and they ALWAYS finance them or lease them, never buying outright. And inevitably something goes wrong, and the highly indebted idiots who finance luxury products default immediately. But they think everyone is fooled! :)

      Not saying you are lying but my bank financed $132k (out of $138k) on my 23 CPO RR (MSRP was $115k) but did it without a problem. I just had to come up with $7k out of pocket as vehicle price was highly inflated but two banks that I shopped had no problem financing my vehicle.

    It is hard to believe this prestigious vehicle is a lemon. 🍋 No one wants to pay so much money for a vehicle to find it is unreliable? I was hoping to convince my husband to buy a Range Rover Sport until I finally watched reviews about unreliability. We own a mercedes & Porsche & both are quality vehicles. I fell in love with the Range Rover Sport style, quality & it's perfect size. What a disappointment.

      Can't comment on the First Edition's gas mileage but my 23 full-size with it's 3.0 I6 gets me 21-23 mpg (calculated) every week. This is miles ahead of anything in it's class and especially when compared to my 21 LX570 Sport which averaged 16-16.5 mpg.

      ​@@reyperez3424 Well, there's no doubt that BMW builds way better vehicles than Land Rover, however the Rover electronics will probably fry way before anything goes wrong with the powertrain. Then again, if the 4.4 V8 is anything like the brilliant B58 i6, I don't expect any issues.

  • @kristy77a

    That SUV, as configured - with a BMW twin-turbo V8 - is absurd. What's not absurd is the R'Rover Sport PHEV, which is what I wish Land Rover had provided for Motor Week. That model-drivetrain is a more interesting and relevant luxury automobile proposition.
