Reliability wise I feel the powertrain (engine, trans) will be totally fine, Jaguar's AJ series V6 and V8 engines have proven to be pretty reliable overall over the years. And the diesel is a Ford Lion engine that dates back to 2004, so in theory the diesel should be reliable as well. And all engines use the ZF 8-speed, nuff said there. However the electronics, probably not. Still the King though.

Why so many pictures of the car on the displays. It’s like having pictures of only yourself on your desk at work.

If that’s 3 inches my girlfriend has been lying to me for years

I only have 2018 Range Rover and there is Apple CarPlay you just have to plug it in with your phone to activate it

I know they're called headrests but who actually rests their head on them while driving...

[runninwildwithmilwaukeebuck]

Matts' face looked like he was disappointed in the acceleration lol

[Tahvyy]

I think there’s a better meridian sound system as a option.

[motto]

4:24 you can actually customize the navigation and many other things like music your listening to to be displayed on The gauge cluster.

JLR still holding out on Carplay. Why? And still some delay in the screen responsiveness. Why on a premium vehicle?

[vidox]

Acceleration is unimpressive 12:51. I'll stick with my supercharged V8.

COOL Review: 2018 Land Rover Range Rover HSE Diesel

[jakes]

How would you compare the ride in this to the navigator black label?

[ktpinnacle]

More interested in the Sport version of the diesel, but thanks for the review of it's big brother!

[kiahweelee]

JLR reliability and quality are horrendous.

[yadvindergakhal]

What impressed you more with luxury and comfort. This or the Navigator?

While your test here (pulling away from a Stop sign/light, then increasing acceleration out of 2nd or 3rd gear) is certainly more realistic in daily driving, to really get a feel for the power/torque of this engine, you'd probably want to test it from a dead stop in CommandShift (M) mode (clutchless Manual). Then use the -/+ paddle shifters on the left/right of the steering wheel to confirm you're starting from 1st (S1) gear. CommandShift is without a doubt, one of my favorite features of our Rovers.

I might be mistaken on how this particular Range Rover works as I'm not especially a fan of post-1995 Range Rovers in general, so my knowledge is limited about them, but that's how Manual shifting works on our Disco 4/LR4 HSE Lux'es (though our Discos have the shifter knob, not the paddles. lol).

Anyway, I'd bet you'd get a very different pull and feel some pretty nice G forces from a dead stop in CommandShift. 🚙⚡😎

Yes, a new video. Keep um coming Matt!! Great content

[aidanbegovic]

@6:32 there's literally a "knob" in the centre console. It's the big thing in the offroad

2018 and doesn’t have apple car play??? Are you sure? It’s not wired apple car play?
