"Urban Assault Vehicle" - Best. Comment. Ever.

Andrea: It's hot! It has such a great road presence, I mean it's a tough one to beat. It's muscular! It's sexy! It's sleek! It's sporty! All rolled into one.

Zack: But what about the car Andrea, you're talking about me! 😂

I wasn't feeling well but Zack's humor made me felt better. 😆

I am not even into cars and don't even own one. I have a driver's license, but I haven't been on the road driving except when I was learning how to drive and when I took my test 😅 But oddly, watching your videos has been an enjoyable form of therapy and education.

Keep it up!

This car is the perfect example why reliability is priceless. Bells and whistles are really nice until they fall off. 😂😂

JLR needs to organize a Manhattan Project internally to conquer their reliability issues. They do so much engineering and design right, and then they shoot themselves in the foot year after year by not producing a vehicle (especially one that pushes offroad chops) that isn't relatively reliable. It's so frustrating.

[AATom]

Although I have never been a JLR fans. But your channel continues to provide great reviews, nonetheless.

The matte paint tends to be harder to match because the texture of the paint has to be spot on to look correct. If the paint goes on too light it can look flat and too heavy can be more like a semi-gloss.

Hey Andrea! Back from the South of France. What a place! If you want to test cars, THAT'S the place to be! Question: Are mat finish paint jobs more difficult to keep clean? I'm thinking since the paint isn't as glossy, that dirt might stick to it more. What has your (or Zack's) experience been with keeping mat paint clean as opposed to gloss. Thanks!

Love the video could you also please drop a review on the updated Velar☺

[thetroothhurtz]

Excellent video, phenomenal work team

[venividivici]

I've been watching your reviews for quite a while.
I have to say that you guys stand out because the friendly, charming and professional style.
Both very professional.
Andrea is purely sophisticated, and is the cherry on top of this channel.
Keep it up

I bought a 2018 BMW 328d in 2021 with 19k miles. In the first year I owned it, it spent over 2 months in the shop because my fuel pump exploded... twice. Of course that happened before they notified me that the fuel pump was recalled. Even with all of the troubles I've had, I would buy 10 more diesel cars. I can go about 550-600 miles on a tiny 15-gallon tank and it feels so good!!

Another great review. I believe matt paint is harder to look after in terms of washing the car. And LR charge a pretty penny for it. A matt wrap might be cheaper and easier repair if there was ever a scratch.

I've been watching Zack for 20 years, wow we are getting old!

[josuemelendez]

Hi! You make great videos. You have an entertaining dynamic and provide well-researched information. Thank you for this :)

I'm wondering if you have plans for a video that explains the differences between the new Range Rover and Range Rover Sport. In the past, it was easier to tell the difference in what they provided. Now, they look and seem very similar, including nearly identical interior designs and dimensions.

I've watched some videos that try to explain the differences, but didn't seem well researched... For some, they didn't even cover differences I already knew, like the split vs traditional tailgates. In the end, they essentially note that these are mostly the same and which to buy comes down to aesthetic preferences.

However, when building these vehicles to what seems like nearly identical specifications, the Range Rover PHEV is nearly 20K USD more than the Range Rover Sport PHEV. It doesn't seem logical that there wouldn't be more to that price difference than design. But maybe I'm wrong... After all, buying a Land Rover is more of a passionate endeavor than a logical one...

Apologies for the long comment and thanks again for the great content! Stay well :)

[alexioannidi]

what a great review! I absolutely love the way you guys flawlessly cover topic by topic. just one thing I wanna say - in my view, germans are NOT direct competitors to RRS because they are NOT in a luxury segment of the market. RRS is a peace of true luxury in every single inch of it, disregarding reliability 🙂

0:06 You can see the coffe cups going backward as Andrea stepped on the gas. Nice vehicle.

Great review guys, I have had 5 JLR products and they have all had some issues, but then again so have my BMW X6, middle of Jan in a snow storm, drivers window went down and wouldn't come back up, V10 M5 spent more time in the shop than on the road. M/B E63, endless transmission programming issues. So all the cars/brands I've had have not been perfect, but I will keep coming back to Range Rover as the ride is truly sublime, and the foul weather capability and confidence, second to none! Reliability, meh, any high end car with as many sensors and complex driving dynamics will have issues. What bulletproof reliability, buy a Toyota/Lexus, want to feel great and have the ability to go off to the road less travelled in comfort, style and confidence with capability off - road, Land Rover or Range Rover. The big shame with the group is Jaguar.... That was such an icon of luxury, it was held in the same esteem as Bentley and Roll Royce back in the day. Through the "checkered" ownership, it truly lost its way. I hope JLR can bring back the "J" to the former days of glory it had.

[WayApp]

Wow, the All-New 2023 Range Rover Sport is an absolute beast!

[lightmonkey]

It's a shame they removed the HVAC controls for the 24MY.

[ronydagher]

great video, we have this model son order, and this will be our third range rover sport. the issue with reliability is non sense, we had more trouble with BMW X5 and Acura MDX and Porsche Cayenne than we ever had with RRS.
great prestigious and Fun SUV to drive
