Why We Rejected Our Range Rover Sport SV!

In tonight’s sit down video, I interviewed Troy who has recently rejected his Range Rover Sport SV and he tell us why!

Let us know in the comments if you would’ve made this decision and what car would you potentially swap to instead of the Sport SV?

For a car costing £190k the quality control from JLR is appalling. A Dacia Duster is built to a higher standard !

I took delivery of my SV in February in Germany. After 5.000km the car went into Limp Mode - maximum 21km/h. Brought it to the workshop and picked it up 2 Weeks later. Same thing happened again on the day I collected it from the workshop! So it stayed another 6 Weeks for repair as they finally found out the throttle valve had a defect but could not get hold of the part… Customer Service was very poor.

I’m sorry, but what did you expect from a manufacturer that’s been at the bottom of global reliability surveys for the past 50 years?

Thanks for the update, my wife and I are looking at a new Range Rover. I watch everything on YouTube and I think we changed our minds

[pawlanhungwynion]

I worked for Ford for quite a few years


Always told people

DONT BUY A NEW MODEL FOR AT LEAST A YEAR!!!. 100% true in what you say

.easiest test pilot is the new owner.
Free testing as the problem is there's not the manufacturer 😮😢😢😢

Bummer. I had a 2015 Sport Supercharged for 5 years and it treated me great. 79, 000 miles

Invite only, £191k for a Range Rover IMO you need to see a Doctor 🤣

i bought a new RR spent 140k and its got an engine fault after 45 miles

I rejected my Range Rover sport yesterday, I collected it on May 10th 2024 was back in to Landrover on the 15th and I haven’t seen it since….!!! I have been in a courtesy car since then.

Really loud cabin wind noise over 30mph and water ingress through the corner glass above the speakers.

My business partner collected his last Friday and it broke down on the Monday.

95% of Land Rover products are still on the road, the rest made it home.

Guys, that line was priceless “if Range Rover had got this car right it could have saved there reputation”. They were only making 500 and they’ve still f****d it up. But every cloud…….saved you from a £50k loss I suppose. 🤔 which would probably have been £150k if it ever would have lasted for 3 years.

Thanks for the update. I've had two generations of sports and have had no issues. I presently lookin for the gen 3 for my wife.. and I've seen both of your reviews on this. now... Im not lookin at the SV, but... this should not have been the experience a buyer should have had.

This is part of Range Rovers new anti theft system, make them so undesirable even the thieves don't want them.

My mate bought one. After about two months he sold and bought a merc GLE 63s five door, TWICE the car !!!

Hi chaps……. I bought my first Range Rover in 1986…. It was a baggage car from the UK…. I was living in NZ…. The RR was a limited edition ‘cause it was the first automatic RR it was in Nevada Gold ….. I traded it in 1988 for a brand new RR metallic blue in colour…… Land Rover NZ had that car returned to them after nine months!!!
Everything and I mean everything went wrong on the bloody
In 1990 I purchased my third brand new RR 3.9 V8 mota…. Viscous box….etc etc…… Today that RR is my daily drive!!!! 280, 000 km on the clock and 34 years old!!!!
If you’re fortunate to buy a good one…. Hang on to the bloody thing!!!
Regards Ian 👨‍🎤🇳🇿😎👍🍸🍸

Main problem with RR is that its affordable to buy for middle class once they are used. Middle class buy it in order to mitigate high class status but they forget that high status brings up higher living costs 😂

Rolls Royce, Lambos, Meclaren, Ferrari has way more reliability HORROR stories but you will never hear about them because really rich people dont spend time on that kind of bull s…. 😂😂

[IronMountainx]

Listening to these two as a poor simple man that would expect a car costing over £150k would come with a house included in the price, makes me realise that even wealthy people make illogical decisions...
I need to come up with a product or service for people like this, its amazing how easy it is to liberate these types from their money...

Bought a disco 3 14 years old had it 3 years running beautifully

SVR best solid engine ive owned, done 65, 000 miles with no issues.. generally newer cars always have teething problem

There are 2 golden rules to trouble-free Range Rover ownership in my long experience with the manufacturer (and I have only owned Range Rovers and never the Sport). Firstly, only buy the final iteration of any model. By then they'll have had 8+ years to iron out all the issues. Secondly, always buy the V8 petrol engine.
I've been buying Range Rovers from new for 40 years and having learned the hard way, by following the rules above I've had zero issues since I bought my L322 in 2010, and subsequently my current L405 in 2020.
