I did recently off-road in regular version of Range Rover Supercharged in Montebello, QC... the climbs and descents at 60+ degrees easy! It's a real capable luxury all-terrain SUV. 0-60 on regular version - 5.4 seconds. I know nothing about reliability or whatever but it does what is built for...
I agree, off pavement not off road. Range rover is known for more than mud puddle skipping. At this price they better let the media get down and dirty with it or not bother.
Here's the deal. Land Rover's are the most capable STOCK vehicles on the road. See the word "STOCK". I've been off-roading in my LR4 several times at events that Land Rover held themselves. A STOCK Jeep, again STOCK, could not do what those vehicles could do off-road with the STOCK engine, tires, suspension and such. Now when you put upgrades onto them such as lift kits, ECU upgrades and big ass tires, then yes they will be as capable, possibly even more than the Rovers. I'm not hating on Jeeps at all, I love Jeeps, but I hate when people say how much better they are than Range Rover's and how only the rich buy them to strut around Beverly Hills, Miami or NYC and never take them off-road. They're for the individual that wants great amounts of luxury and know's that if they ever need to go on a dirt trail or through some sand, they can do it in exceptional comfort.
Where is that off-road? All what I saw, was normal gravel roads with some puddles. Nothing what regular saloon couldn't handle. Driving on grass (background 2:29 ) could be way batter test.
We had to stick to deep mud puddles, rutted dirt roads and fire trails that were very rocky. It was enough to slice tires (including ours). You're welcome to try the ORV trail in Caribou, CO. Film it with your saloon - it will make for great viewing.
nathan adlen ok, but that still is a road, grass would be great off road and also very watchable, Top Gear is awesome to show Range Rover capabilitys. For example episode ''Range Rover vs Porsche Cayenne'' They manage to find some mud. :-) Tire slicing road isn't car test, it's tire test.
Extended wheelbase? I didn't know that they came that way. I have a 2012 Durango. I love big cars. I like when the back doors are at least the same size as if not longer than the front doors like the old Cadillacs, Electra 225s and 98s for legroom. Now all I need is for my six numbers to come in!
Not to be nitpicky but for 120k those exhaust pipes are pure shit and developing 500HP that exhaust note is pathetic. But who am I to judge, I could never afford it.
y do ppl who cant afford a range rover bad mouth it. It was awarded the 1st place in JD Powers performance n design ratings. (large luxury suv segment). its one hell of an automobile.
The Fast Lane Car how many times did the Range Rover break down during the recording of this video? lol jk, but on a more serious note, what happens if you guys(or any other reviewers) were to damage or destroy a vehicle during a test drive or review? nathan adlen
David Whittaker no, Land Rover is still among the least reliable auto brands on the market. I'm not against LR, I'm just saying that they have terrible reliability and upkeep costs. The Discovery's, Defenders, etc. are great off road and Range Rover Sports and Evoques (spelling?) Are impressive on road and they're nice vehicles. But the reliability is a turn off.
Normal people can and do buy Range Rovers too. You don't need to be a Sheik or Queen to buy one. It's actually a very good family car, it was actually designed to be driven by families, not by chauffeurs (although a handful of Range Rover owners do have drivers).
"Off Road" review - are you being serious? That was a trail with a few puddles, save the ground clearance, any car could drive there. Try to show some real off roading, if you wanna do the car justice, as it's so insanely capable. Try and look at Top Gears Range Rover Sport mud and track review or the one where they race an autonomous 5 t army truck off road. This video is by no means an off road review of this car.
Seems more like a Rover than a Land Rover. The Series I- Series III Land Rover (1948-1985) were lots of fun, is a LOT less expensive, and simpler to maintain.
you can all go and search for the most reliable cars ....Range Rover and Jaguar were at the bottom of the list just barely beating Ford which came at the last
Great show, please show more of backseat riding, a lot of car shows just get in there for few seconds to show knee room, this video shows if you are comfortable during riding or not in the back, i like that.
Range Rovers are good when they're brand new, this car maker has so much reliability problems and they haven't been taking care of those problems for years now. they just caring about selling luxury expensive vehicles but don't plan to fix them and find solutions for the reliabilities problem. Expensive car should last for a longer time cuz they have better material and much more expensive engineering but not in the Range Rover case
Yeah but the range rover is more luxurious and has a higher quality interior and better designed interior but the Lexus will carry on running but the range rovers problems aren't as bad as everyone says
Thoughs weren't deep puddles, I drive through mud deeper than 5-6 feet, but with a Bigass Truck, people, he's not gonna take a 140,000$ Vehicle in Deep Ass Mud! That's STUPID! Ain't that right! nathan adlen
What a terrible review. His idea of showing its off-road ability is to drive quickly through a mud puddle on a road and then react like it was impressive.
+skirmich You are soooo right! That's exactly what I say when I compare it to my lexus LX and my acura TL with shawd. This thing gets better MPG and better hp and torqs. I regret my LX.
LEDs are most efficient (put out the most light per watt) and have the longest lifespan (per lumen/hr) when pulsed, and pulsing them is also an easy and cheap way to limit current
LED's are digital lights and have a different refresh rate than the digital camera. If you look at them in person, you cannot see them flashing. They appear as solid light.
Do you expect it to be completely solid when driving on rocks and gravel? A cheap car will vibrate and rattle like that on pavement, anything will do it off road.
anything is gonna rattle on a road like that. tanks rattle nonstop but they're built... like tanks. lol but, i know what you mean, Land Rovers are among the most unreliable vehicles you can buy today
I also noticed that. You can see how the tailgate and passenger seat shake like hell! A well built premium car should feel like a vault, no matter the conditions! But this isn't a big surprise for anyone who knows a bit about the history of LR's failure to make a decent product!
roxas the rogue Couldn't agree more. The Range Rover is quite awesome but you have to be a millionaire to be able to afford to take this thing off-road.
Protector of the Republic and considering Land Rover is among the most unreliable auto brand on the market, you're going to be paying much much more than $122k for this vehicle. lol
Depends what you are after, you want to save money, get the Sport, but if you want to spend the extra money then definitely get the normal Range Rover, reliability issues are gone (now BMW and Ford don't own them) and overall a better car.
The Range Rover is the only luxury SUV that even seems remotely appealing to me, but too bad it's reliability is questionable. There's Audi, but the Q5 and Q7 are extremely dated.
MrKeyboardCommando the Range Rover would break down if it towed anything or did this offroading for very long. Land Rover is one of the least reliable auto brand on the market. At least the Geo lasts forever
roxas the rogue lol, yeah. Land Rovers are cool because they're prestigious but they're terrible vehicles. I guess if you can afford a $122,000 vehicle then you can afford $20,000 more in repairs and fuel costs. haha
MrKeyboardCommando No, the Geo does run forever. the shittiest cars usually some of the most durable and reliable. crappy cars like the Geo can take whatever you throw at em and keep on going. no one knows how, but there's been talk of black magic. lol
Cayenne can't handle the kind of off road a Range Rover can. More ground clearance, more water wading depth, more suspension travel etc. You wouldn't want to cross a creek in a Cayenne.
$122k lmfao you're kidding, right? If you're gonna spend that amount to take it off road, you might as well buy something better like a diesel truck or wrangler and beef it up. Also, anything over about $25k should have heated and cooled seats..
If you want something to go through some real mud yuh buy a Ford. Chevy. Dodge. or a Hummer. A land rover is made for everyday driving and minor shit like this.
Seriously doubt that a Sheikh will take that in dunes :) For that, Sheikhs buy Land Cruisers, nobody there offroads with Range Rover :)... u can see Defenders cruising the dunes, Land Cruisers, G-Classes, but not Range Rovers, not build for offroad, just daily commute and show off :) U can hear the Range Rover almost disintegrating while going over little bumps.... Range Rovers are well know of their "durability, toughness and solidity" -> Range Rover does not have any of these..
No on really goes off road in a range rover its way to expensive for average people and scratching or do anything to is out of the question, plus most people who can afford a range rover are rich,uppity, or apart of the elite middle class. I guarantee 99% aren't outdoors type people and the 1%that are do pussy shit like going through puddles and hiking trails with something close to a 0% percent grade made for walking. Nothing against people who can pay for this car but lets be real with ourselves range rover needs to stop marketing this car for its outdoorsmen capability, because real people who love being in nature would never buy such an overprices luxury SUV to shield themselves from it while traversing land. Its just a joke they market these cars like this even if they are capable off-roading. XD
I hate when shows like this talk about the offroad capabilities of a vehicle and then drive it through conditions I could handle in a golf cart.
Hahaha, right man
I did recently off-road in regular version of Range Rover Supercharged in Montebello, QC... the climbs and descents at 60+ degrees easy! It's a real capable luxury all-terrain SUV. 0-60 on regular version - 5.4 seconds. I know nothing about reliability or whatever but it does what is built for...
"Thrilled to take it off-road" LOL He never once left the road!
The mud puddle was cool the first one or two times but after seeing it a 4th and 5th time it got a bit stale.
Well they have to compare them on the same roads or it won't be fair
I agree, off pavement not off road. Range rover is known for more than mud puddle skipping. At this price they better let the media get down and dirty with it or not bother.
That one mud hole is the star of this episode. Lol
Rather get the ugly Toyota land cruiser over this unreliable crap
i know, no one seems to understand that Land Rover is one of the most unreliable brand on the market
Rangerover is newer and better whereas the land cruiser hasn't been updated in 10 years
Connor Allen but Toyota has an excellent reputation for reliability where as Land Rover has the exact opposite.
Here's the deal. Land Rover's are the most capable STOCK vehicles on the road. See the word "STOCK". I've been off-roading in my LR4 several times at events that Land Rover held themselves.

I really enjoy watching your show guys keep it up 😍
Awesome vid. I'm going to purchase one soon. 😊
From 4:55 to 5:30 why does the tailgate look like it's moving around a lot?
What a car! Still scared for reliability issues though!
Where is that off-road? All what I saw, was normal gravel roads with some puddles. Nothing what regular saloon couldn't handle. Driving on grass (background 2:29 ) could be way batter test.
We had to stick to deep mud puddles, rutted dirt roads and fire trails that were very rocky. It was enough to slice tires (including ours). You're welcome to try the ORV trail in Caribou, CO. Film it with your saloon - it will make for great viewing.
Just make sure there's a Range Rover on standby to tow away the heap of scrap that used to be your regular saloon.
nathan adlen ok, but that still is a road, grass would be great off road and also very watchable, Top Gear is awesome to show Range Rover capabilitys. For example episode ''Range Rover vs Porsche Cayenne'' They manage to find some mud. :-) Tire slicing road isn't car test, it's tire test.
This video is nothing but a Range Rover commercial.
Extended wheelbase? I didn't know that they came that way. I have a 2012 Durango. I love big cars. I like when the back doors are at least the same size as if not longer than the front doors like the old Cadillacs, Electra 225s and 98s for legroom. Now all I need is for my six numbers to come in!
great job guys!
I appreciate your videos
Not to be nitpicky but for 120k those exhaust pipes are pure shit and developing 500HP that exhaust note is pathetic. But who am I to judge, I could never afford it.
It's a luxury Side if you want a mean exhaust and dual polished exhaust tips go to the range rover sport.
The new Range Rover Sport SVR is the fastest Range Rover ever built and sounds epic
Ahhum...It sounds English!!!! Now put your closed hand on your lapel and your chin up!
They're out of sight so theres no reason for them to have polished tips. Only when they're visible should they have nice tips.
Quality is just knowing that they're there.
y do ppl who cant afford a range rover bad mouth it. It was awarded the 1st place in JD Powers performance n design ratings. (large luxury suv segment). its one hell of an automobile.

Awesome. Aluminium body so will last forever.
Seems more like a Rover than a Land Rover. The Series I- Series III Land Rover (1948-1985) were lots of fun, is a LOT less expensive, and simpler to maintain.
how come you guys havent tested the S550 yet? that has loads of rear adjustment, for a lot less cash i think?
Jajaja!! I am going to call the side shades the F you shades now! You are too funny Nathan.
Why is it showing it has a flat tire/tyre 0 psi and the clip after it all four wheels look/seem ok? could it be a sensor issue?
reliability ?? not even once
i know, no one seems to understand that Land Rover is one of the most unreliable brand on the market
Clay Martin stop posting lies
you can all go and search for the most reliable cars ....Range Rover and Jaguar were at the bottom of the list just barely beating Ford which came at the last
Ara J oh yeah. i forgot about Ford. haha
but Land Rover is terrible. that's my point
***** I'm not rich but unreliable cars give me such a big anxiety attack while driving
Aaaand, that's the last time Range Rover lets TFL demo one of their vehicles.
This is dubai baby 💕💕💪💪
Great show, please show more of backseat riding, a lot of car shows just get in there for few seconds to show knee room, this video shows if you are comfortable during riding or not in the back, i like that.

Expensive car should last for a longer time cuz they have better material and much more expensive engineering but not in the Range Rover case
and you called this "offroad"??
you haven't seen a real offroad
What about the Lexus Lx570 does that compete?
Yeah but the range rover is more luxurious and has a higher quality interior and better designed interior but the Lexus will carry on running but the range rovers problems aren't as bad as everyone says
Thoughs weren't deep puddles, I drive through mud deeper than 5-6 feet, but with a Bigass Truck, people, he's not gonna take a 140,000$ Vehicle in Deep Ass Mud! That's STUPID! Ain't that right! nathan adlen
The 4.4 Turbo Diesel V8 needs to be an option in the States. Hello.
this off roading is seemingly ok compared to some African roads where u can put a baby in a pothole and u wouldnt even notice
What a terrible review. His idea of showing its off-road ability is to drive quickly through a mud puddle on a road and then react like it was impressive.
It doesn't look solid I saw the head rest rattling quite a few times
The g550 is the only competition as far as on-road and off-road
This is an 11 minute intro to itself... Very strange, very meta.
LOL That thing gives the same MPG than my MDX but with +200hp more and about 200tq more.... Sadly it costs 3x too.
+skirmich You are soooo right! That's exactly what I say when I compare it to my lexus LX and my acura TL with shawd. This thing gets better MPG and better hp and torqs. I regret my LX.
sand dunes? break over angle?
Excessively over expensive for a vehicle of this class and purpose :D
Its nice, but 123K? Thats just absurd!
maximus10463 The Autobiography RR runs about $240,000.
seems you only have three puddles in the Rockies....
Don't go to half speed if you have to also half the framerate... it looks tacky.
Its always water puddles not mud we need to see thick mud
How do Roman and Nathan get these cars??
They steal them. They're numbers 3 and 7 on the Most Wanted list; believe me, they're a couple of real mean dudes.
Yeah M8 , FBI has been hunting them down for years m8
They are press fleet cars. The manufacturers put them out into various press pools to make them available to journalists.
Why the front lights are flashing?
its the camera as the land rover uses led lights
LEDs are most efficient (put out the most light per watt) and have the longest lifespan (per lumen/hr) when pulsed, and pulsing them is also an easy and cheap way to limit current
LED's are digital lights and have a different refresh rate than the digital camera. If you look at them in person, you cannot see them flashing. They appear as solid light.
Looks chintzy, but I still want one
What the name of the music in 3,13 ?
this is car best to use in first 10 years max and sell it or this can be pain in ass.
The music is too loud. I can barely hear the exhuast when you rev it from the inside of the car. Just some constructive criticism.
4:56 Rattling, shaking, and crashing like a cheap pickup, doesn't seem luxurious or well built to me.
Do you expect it to be completely solid when driving on rocks and gravel? A cheap car will vibrate and rattle like that on pavement, anything will do it off road.
anything is gonna rattle on a road like that. tanks rattle nonstop but they're built... like tanks. lol
but, i know what you mean, Land Rovers are among the most unreliable vehicles you can buy today
Clay Martin Actually their not unreliable. That's just a old myth. Get your facts straight.
Are you just plain stupid?
I also noticed that. You can see how the tailgate and passenger seat shake like hell! A well built premium car should feel like a vault, no matter the conditions! But this isn't a big surprise for anyone who knows a bit about the history of LR's failure to make a decent product!
I see a tow hitch! Ike Gauntlet Max
The review is about going through mud puddles?
I have the sport version
$122k off-road ..... No thanks
Just buy a jeep and be done
Qman2004 Exactly! At least it will be cheaper to repair if you damage it.
roxas the rogue Couldn't agree more. The Range Rover is quite awesome but you have to be a millionaire to be able to afford to take this thing off-road.
roxas the rogue Me too!
Protector of the Republic and considering Land Rover is among the most unreliable auto brand on the market, you're going to be paying much much more than $122k for this vehicle. lol
1:29... flat tire?
i think i would just get a grand cherokee summit and save a shit load of cash
Its petrol! waste of time the 3.0 diesel or the 4.4 is all the car you never need, and they average 37 mpg to the gallon
Nothing can compete with it? How about Mercedez G class? How about Lexus LX570?
go up hills man
Come on wanted to see real off-roading not just driving thru puddles fast. Wheel articulation , steep grades. I know y'all can do better then this.
Range Rover Sport or Range Rover? Help!
Neither
Depends what you are after, you want to save money, get the Sport, but if you want to spend the extra money then definitely get the normal Range Rover, reliability issues are gone (now BMW and Ford don't own them) and overall a better car.
The Range Rover is the only luxury SUV that even seems remotely appealing to me, but too bad it's reliability is questionable. There's Audi, but the Q5 and Q7 are extremely dated.
Andre speaks english?
No ! It's you who can speak Czech.
No he speaks watermelon
C0okieman2009 Is that a Czech dialect ?
My Geo can go through those puddles. Where is the real off road test? Let see it climb and see it go through real mud. It won't get far.
Yeah, course it can, if it's being towed by a Range Rover.
MrKeyboardCommando the Range Rover would break down if it towed anything or did this offroading for very long. Land Rover is one of the least reliable auto brand on the market. At least the Geo lasts forever
roxas the rogue lol, yeah. Land Rovers are cool because they're prestigious but they're terrible vehicles. I guess if you can afford a $122,000 vehicle then you can afford $20,000 more in repairs and fuel costs. haha

MrKeyboardCommando No, the Geo does run forever. the shittiest cars usually some of the most durable and reliable. crappy cars like the Geo can take whatever you throw at em and keep on going. no one knows how, but there's been talk of black magic. lol
122,000???? No thanks
There is the Cayane GTS to compete with this car.
Are you kidding? Maybe at price point not at off road capability.
Cayenne can't handle the kind of off road a Range Rover can. More ground clearance, more water wading depth, more suspension travel etc. You wouldn't want to cross a creek in a Cayenne.
hahaha.....no
The Mercedes Benz G63 AMG also
The car say you have a flat :o
$122k lmfao you're kidding, right? If you're gonna spend that amount to take it off road, you might as well buy something better like a diesel truck or wrangler and beef it up.
Also, anything over about $25k should have heated and cooled seats..
If you want something to go through some real mud yuh buy a Ford. Chevy. Dodge. or a Hummer. A land rover is made for everyday driving and minor shit like this.
Do you have any idea how many off-roading championships Land Rover has won? The answer is a ton can you say that about your shitbox Chevy
Connor Allen fuck Chevy...... I'll push a ford than drive a Chevy
this isn't off roading.
Seriously doubt that a Sheikh will take that in dunes :) For that, Sheikhs buy Land Cruisers, nobody there offroads with Range Rover :)... u can see Defenders cruising the dunes, Land Cruisers, G-Classes, but not Range Rovers, not build for offroad, just daily commute and show off :) U can hear the Range Rover almost disintegrating while going over little bumps....

First
To fall down a mountain
Ugly looking truck
Nathan said they averaged just under 17 Miles per gallon in the beginning then at 1.25 minute mark you can see it clearly says 15.3 lol...
That was accumulated while driving off road for several hours, My average came from regular, daily driving.
nathan adlen You legend, thanks for taking time to reply to my comment! Big fan of you and Roman and TFL Car! Keep up the great videos
