- I was lucky enough to have the latest Range Rover Autobiography for the weekend and thought you guys would like to come along for the ride to Cornwall and back. I explore just what it is like to live with the £100,000 King of SUVs.

Dual screen view job still blows my mind... Witchcraft I tell you. If it's good enough for the Queen... 👑🎩
+Andy Lindley I'm a techs and it still blows my mind ! Very clever 😎👍
5:10 Love the way your dog is watching and listening to your review :-D
She’s my biggest fan 😂
One of my favourite videos to date. Cracking job! 👍
That's great to hear as I wasn't sure if people would like it :-)
great review and always getting better
Great job with the video. Range Rovers have come a long, long way since June 1970. Today's Range Rover is truly a luxury car with the appearance of being coach built (like back in the day of the P5 Rover 3-litres and later P5B Rover 3.5-litre cars). Wonderful job with this presentation. Makes me want to go back to owning a "Rover product" again. Thank you very much!
My pleasure Andy. Glad you enjoyed it 👍
This is a great review. Nicely done, everything I wanted to know and in a relaxed and friendly style. Good work
Great one Pete. Always nice to have our better half with us , cheers !
Sure is :-)
I’ve got a 55 plate sport, had it for 2 years and haven’t stopped kicking myself for not getting one sooner... worth every penny!
Awesome 👍
That screen was just awesome.
It's really clever :-)
I love my range rover sport, great car for everyday driving.
+Foyorama OU812 The are fab cars. We loved ours and had no reliability issues at all 👍
Sport is nice but not as nice as the big range rover
One of the best real world car reviews. No-one really cares how cars go round race or off-road test tracks when looking to buy a car.
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it :-)
Brilliant video thank you 🙂
Enjoyed the video! Thanks..
Superb vehicle. Thanks for the video.
My pleasure ;-)
Top marks. Brilliant vid. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it 👍
Another excellent video! Love that RR - if I was ever to get a 4X4 the only one would be a Range Rover. In addition to a great review, loved the scenery. Very well shot/edited. The blending of the car and outside scenery looks very professional. Keep it up!
Thanks Kevin, glad you enjoyed it :-) I'm always trying to do something new and improve my editing skills.
Petrol Ped Still can't wait for the DB11 though...
Loves this channel
Thanks...tell your mates about it too ;-)
Stunning car, love it
Me too!
Really enjoyed the video, thank you.
Cheers Keith, pleased you enjoyed it :-)
£1.24/ltr. Those were the days.
I have that same dog. Well, my family at least. Miniature Schnauzer. Being that we have that same dog and my dad has been looking at this car for a month or two. You helped me convince him to get one!!! It's the nicest SUV ever. The one we got is the "long wheel" base one and it has massage seats in the front and back. Very nice.
Oh very nice. Glad I could be of help 👍
Excellent review, outstanding narration of all the amazing features of the car as well as concerns (space/gas..)and remarkable driver while you’re in the passenger aside haha… Kidding aside, your both, great and different, driving styles did not cause the vehicle to shake the cameras not one second!!! You actually made me want to get one one day !!! Thank you!!
Thanks 👍
Loved this video! Loved the car. Great content as always. I'd quite happily have one of these haha
Hay Finlay, how are you Buddy ? I'd love one too...just an awesome car !
Petrol Ped Haha, we've got out VW Caravelle for out road trips and holidays, it's brilliant! Anyways, not much happening with me at the moment. Hoping to see some proper motor racing this year, and I will meet you one day! What plans have you got for this year? It's going to be exciting for definite. The cars being revealed/launched this year are incredible, no Goodwood for me though... 😂👍
I love this Range Rover video of yours Peter it is everything in oppulence a top of the range Range Rover should have, completely over the top yet if we all had £100K to spend on a 4x4 this is probably what we'd all buy. The new Velar by Range Rover is now in my opinion the most beautiful sculpted and designed 4x4 you can buy I cannot wait til you get one of those to video. Super video and bravo to Mrs Ped for her "aggresive" driving style and what a well behaved dog!!!!
The Velar does look very nice. I hope to get it one day, I'm still waiting for the Disco 5. Our dog is indeed brilliant on the car, she just loves it. Anything as long as she is with us !
Thanks! I ordered the same car (but 2018 model) in February and it was due June. Big delay because the model has had to go through tests again - maybe EU6, I don't know. Now I will be getting 2019 model in November. I have a Panamera 4S diesel (420bhp, 0-62 4.3sec, 177mph) which is amazingly fast and economical but impractical with a dog. When the delay was notified, I toyed with cancelling and getting the new model Cayenne S petrol which is fast, fairly economical and a great drive. I stuck with the Rangie though and your review has confirmed I've done the right thing. Anyone want to buy a Panamera 4S - 5600 miles in 18 months, 45mpg, cost £113k, now £74k. Staggering depreciation for a spotless car that doesn't look like it's been sat in! Although, probably the same as the Range Rover.
Glad I could help and enjoy the new motor when it arrives :-)
you must be mad
Nice car and a good review - this is becoming a habit. Great to see a lady that actually knows how to drive as well. That helps to de-stress any journey.
Cheers Christopher, doing my best to make the habit stick ! Yes, my better half is a very good driver with a heavy right foot !
Christopher Bell sorry, call me old fashioned but I hate being a passenger, if I’m travelling by car, I’m driving, end of!
One of the better reviews and well demonstrated on a weekend drive, Cheers
Cheers John. Glad you enjoyed it 👍
@@PetrolPed It would be great if you did more realistic reviews like that.....Certainly made me feel like you were a friend, telling me how the vehicle actually operated especially with your wife and four-legged friend keeping you company. I really think great cut through. Cheers
John Dryden Thanks John. I hope to get that feel so great to get that feedback 👍
Very impressive 👏
Range Rovers have such presence '
Stunning car
great vid and once again Mrs Ped doesn't hang about....huge fan
Wait for our summer road trip to the South of France driving through the Alps. She will be in her element !!!
Great video. It has been sometime since I was inside a range rover and I look forward to owning one.
They are mega cars :-)
This was a really good video petrol ped this is my 1st time watching one of your videos but I subscribed and the only thing I'd say you missed it to show its hearty quality
Cheers Zach. I am guessing you are the Zach that lives next door :-)
I enjoyed that vid thanks
My pleasure Melvin, glad you enjoyed it :-)
Great review on the new Range Rover great car.
Thanks Peter. Certainly a very impressive vehicle :-)
3:44 How to turn off the massage seats: It literally says "OFF" ;)
I couldn't find the screen with the 'Off' button. I did shortly after filming that bit ;-)
that screen was fucking awesome ...
It's cool isn't it :-)
your joking of course
Love it. I'm currently working as a receptionist for Land Rover n Jaguar and I love being able to live in a car. Luckily I'm only 5ft2, so I'm able to curl up in most places.
Yap!!! its an nice car, nice video my friend.
Thank you 🙏
My dad has svautobiography 2017 it is stunning and i love it
Nice :-)
I bought one of these 18 months ago. It is the best car I've ever had.
They are great aren’t they 👍
Is it reliable? Does it keep breaking down like people say? Is it expensive to maintain?
Thanks for answer. 😉
Great video, I'm going to get one but with cream leather :-) I'll have it int he next 3 months
another great vid Pete....Mrs Ped doesn't hang about does she 🚗💨💨💨💨💨
Err...no :-)
She scared me and I was sitting at home.
Great video 👍🏻
Cheers Gareth :-)
My dad has a 2 year old Range Rover Sport Autobiography and we are getting a new one in September, can't wait
They are lovely, maybe my pick although I would be tempted by the SVR !
That dog
unrivalled....
Yup !
Dammit, man! Now I want one! Awesome review, as usual - really brought out the character of the look, feel, features and drive. Now I just need the lottery! Thanks so much for posting.
My pleasure. One of my favourite cars this one :-)
I guess Im asking the wrong place but does anybody know of a way to log back into an Instagram account??
I was dumb lost my password. I love any assistance you can offer me!
@Genesis Carl Instablaster =)
@Morgan Leon thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm in the hacking process now.
Takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Morgan Leon it worked and I now got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thank you so much, you saved my ass :D
YES its the best BUT what about depreciation & reliability? enjoyed watching this vid, nice, easy going, natural, something I'm trying to achieve with my own car reviews. Thanks for taking the time to post, keep them coming!
Depreciation might be an issue ! I've had 3 vehicles from Land Rover and over a combined 100,000+ miles never really had an issues. I hear horror stories of course but I think it's down to luck !
Nice channel by the way. Keep it up. It's bloody hard work but very rewarding, especially when you get to drive something nice !
cheers, thanks for reply, I shall look out for your next vid !
Roger Bailey they still lose value quickly, but reliability is up quite a bit.
Petrol Ped I've got a 2008 that has been very reliable with the Jag 4.2 supercharged. 155kmi and it runs strong.
Love this style of video Mr Ped. Did get a peep at Mrs Ped in the rear view mirror, and the dog my partner and I hope to get soon on the back seat. Not a big 4x4 fan but loved seeing this and love all the gadgets and gizmos.
If ever you want to visit Devon for a long weekend you, Mrs Ped and the dog are very welcome. I live in Northam next to Westward Ho! in North Devon.
Hi Ray. Glad you enjoyed the vid and car and thanks for the invite. Mrs PP is from Cornwall so we go down there quite a bit...Devon and Cornwall are such beautiful places. The dog now has an even bigger Fan Club !
I don't know of any other Husband and Wife car Vloggers on TH-cam, (Brother and Sister yes) maybe a good angle to bring in now and then and to get a woman's view on things? Would boost the subs? I was serious about the invite :-)
Just recently subscribed and enjoying the videos and nice to see a review with a difference .. will certainly keep following and look forward to more from you and "Mrs Petrol Ped" ;)
+Dave Gath Cheers for the Sub Dave. Will try to get Mrs PP on camera soon 😂
Just watched this old vid , liked your little dog .
She’s still with us 👍
Great video...we in the US wince at the right hand drive and going into the roundabouts! Thanks!
The concept of a roundabout is a bit alien to you guys !
We've had them here for about six or seven years, but they're not widely adopted yet. Before that, we had something called "traffic circles," which are a bit different. But when I was in Cornwall a while back and saw the signs for double and triple roundabouts, I was awestruck.
Great video
Thanks Andrew :-)
Loved this content can you do one with the 3.0 liter see the composite on fuel 💯💯
You are looking at 38-40 to the gallon but please look into the crankshaft bearing issues with the engine, not the most reliable at all.
Wow
Very nice personal touch to your auto videos. Loved it. Range Rover just hugs the corners as good or perhaps better than hatchbacks. The UK has such great roads. Out of curiosity, which onboard camera did you use to record the drive to Cornwall ?
Hi there. I'm glad you like my vids. I use Sony Actioncams with Joby Suction Mounts. The RR goes round corners like a car half its size !
Fantastic, realistic review. I'm in the market for a used sdv8 and I have been torn between the rangey sport and it's big bro.
Both great cars :-)
Thanks for the great review. I definitely have the Autobiography on my shortlist.
Oh yes, a great car :-)
Haha love Darcey :). Another great quality presentation Peter. Great car. Big money though! Mrs P is a good driver. Handled the car well. Love Mevagissey. Have spent many years down there on family holidays. Know it well. Looking forward to your next vid.
She is a boy racer. Her first 2 cars were an Alfa Romeo GTV6 and a Lancia Delta HS Turbo !!!!
Darcey liked the attention...she could be my equivalent of Top Gear Dog !
great
Glad you enjoyed it :-)
Cool vlog
Mrs Petrol Ped's lane discipline is shocking on and off of roundabouts haha great vid tho
Good practical review. Sporty looking Mrs. Ped and she looks like she handles the wheel well too in the big Rover and at speed. So overall good. I'm looking a Sport myself.
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it :-)
Except you guys drive on the wrong side of the road and the wrong side of the car ))) . In my time there I got used to the roads, but never the right hand drive.
Hello, we are looking at one of these right now, so wanted to re watch this one. Ya looking very youthful here. 👍
can you do a vid comparing the vogue to RR sport? I'm thinking of buying one and cant decide wether the vogue is too large/impractical for city driving vs. giving up some luxury for a smaller SUV
Would you care to advise?
Great review and so practical. Just ordered a new SE in British Racing Green for delivery in March 2018. Had FFRR's before but moved to Disco 4's. Don't like the new Disco 5 shape so back to FFRR.
You can't beat a FFRR ;-)
wow, nice car
Sure is :-)
Love my Range Rover. They get better every year. They really went up in quality in 2007 when the jaguar power plant made its way in.
Totally agree :-)
n300zx931 Quality does not equal reliability - www.jdpower.com/ratings/study/Vehicle-Dependability-Study-%28VDS%29-by-Make/1881ENG
I love it when people say "Range Rovers are not reliable". 2007 is when it changed, along with the reliability. I just leased a 2017 full sized V8 Super Charged. The new command system is SO much better than the one they are showing here.
All manufacturers have reliability issues. I can only speak from personal experience of the brand. I never had a major issue with any of my 3 Land Rover vehicles.
TheLambo2 I'm sure you're just being cheeky.
Yes , these are wonderful cars and we have one and live in Cornwall , best of both worlds !!!
We now own a place in Cornwall too. Sadly we don't own a Range Rover :-(
Rewatched this. 100 quid to fill up 6 years ago... Good times.
Your review was quite honest and good.Better than the people who regularly review this RR and moan and whine and complain. You can even see the whiners down below in this comments section.This review gives a viewer an overall evaluation of the RR in a short time
Thanks for the positive feedback Barney :-)
NP-Your wife looks confident behind the wheel.Is she a fast driver and is she a better driver than you?
+Barney B She is a very good driver and has had some great cars. We both think we are better than each other !
Petrol-She appears to be a better driver than you from the way she is holding the steering, speeding up and going over those roundabouts.Please pass my greetings to her, that kind of driving takes skill
Just bought my 5th one ☝️
that precious cargo in the back seat is worth more than a thousand rovers
ABSOLUTELY !
@@PetrolPed and not fast asleep, you get a thumbs up from me purely on your choice of dog breed and the fact your taking your awesome friend with you :D Sadly this time last week I had to put down my awesome friend of 13 years old, an English Cocker Spaniel as he was riddled with cancer and I didn't want him to end his happy life in pain and misery, I will be missing him for a long time I think.
@@MaZEEZaM he'll always be around you. Trust the universe and almighty God.
Good review. Shame you didn't mention the adaptive cruise control with distance control and auto braking
How you getting on with the car since this review? How does it compare with the previous L322 model? Thanks 👍
I only borrowed this car for a week 🤔
Great video thank you. I will have to find out how much bigger it is exactly. I have a stunning D4 Landline with Full specs but this us bigger.
What was your MPG fir the whole trip please?
Such a long time ago I can’t remember. Sorry 😢
hey what year of range rover was it and love the video!!!!
It was a 2017 I think 👍
Pete, Bugger I didn't realise you were down these parts lol. Would have been cool to pop and shake your hand Sir. I'm in Bodmin :D
Great review of a very awesome SUV :D
High Chris. We come down to Cornwall quite a lot and Mrs PP is from St Austell :-)
Ah awesome, I had best get a decent car then, unless you want to review a 2016 Nissan Qashqai haha Be cool to catch up sometime buddy :D
My kind of car. I suggest you using premium diesel on a car like this, from Shell or BP.
Lovely review, quick side note, you stated you struggle for a parking space, if Sir shopped in waitrose or Mark's and Spencer instead they make their spaces extra wide for those of a disconcerting nature.
We only shop a Waitrose and M&S 😂
I will keep doing the lottery, if I win on Friday, I will be buying on Saturday, Beautiful car.
Good review. This is my dream vehicle. Have you had any issues with it and have you still got it.
I only had it for this trip 😢
Oh Ped!
On the motorway, there are other lanes available rather than being a bit arrogant and staying in lane 3 even if 1 and 2 are empty or lightly-occupied. Tut tut!
Great car if you have more money than you know what to do with, really.
Interesting style of video though which I like, so more of this style please!
That's just Mrs PP 'making good progress' ;-)
We certainly aren't middle lane hoggers. Glad you enjoyed the video though.
I always like the Range Rovers.
I've had a couple of RR. They are in my opinion the best car on the road for comfort & practicality. The interior is sublime & the handling unbelievable for such a huge car. They are by far my favourite car. The down side is that when they go wrong, you need a 2nd mortgage for the repair bill. Eg a self levelling suspension unit needed replacing on mine (at the rear) after 45k miles... £8000 I was quoted. Apparently the body needed to be lifted off the chassis to undertake the work. That's £8k + the eye watering depreciation. You simply daren't run one outside of warranty. Forget owning a 5yr+ old one, unless you are very well heeled as they will burn you financially.
Great review what's better to drive Range Rover or AUDI SQ7
Ooo, good question ! I think as an overall package nothing comes close to the Range Rover and I am confident it would be much better off-road. However the SQ7 felt quicker in a straight line. They are both very poised through the corners. Also, I only drove the SQ7 for a short time so didn't really have enough time in it !
👍
I enjoyed this but two things, 1. You can not get dual screen (sat nav/tv) 2. Latest has dual screens, how about coming to Scotland too test your loan cars
Not sure I understand you point. This car has a dual mode screen showing TV and Sat Nav at the same time. I clearly show it in the video ?!
Hoping to come up to Scotland and do the North Coast 500 some time this year :-)
Apart from the parking , fuel and high road tax not a bad toy and a good driving position. Nice one
👍
Awesome review- did you prefer this over the SQ7?
Yes 👍
Hi great review how would you compare this to the SQ7 you recently tested out? which would you prefer?
That's a tough one ! The RR has a much more luxurious feel and I spent more time with it too so also liked how relaxing it was to drive over long distances. The SQ7 is a mighty impressive car that certainly felt faster and my sporty. For the money a great choice. However, if I had £100k to spend on a big SUV I would buy the RR Sport SVR (I've reviewed that too !). A simply awesome car, fantastic spec and just THE BEST NOISE !
moses pope sq7 doesn’t match the Range Rover, especially the brand new 2018 one.
" Mrs Petrol Ped" ! Is that her real name I ask myself. haha !
TG to her friends :-)
Thank you ...lovely vid. Please thank your good lady wife, for her "voice from off camera".
YES ...filling up with the filler nozel away from the pump. ..helps with the "shake" to get the last drops out of the pipe.
Those MPG figures are not far off from my 2.7TD Range Rover Sport I have now. I drive down to Cornwall often as have family down there and it's one of the best cars to have on a long trip.
That split screen sat nav is cool, did it not have a DVD player so you could watch a film ?
+MDLambphotos Videos We sat at a speed plod would not be happy with and got 28 mpg. 30+ is easily achievable. Split screen was amazing. Didn't have any DVDs with us 😜
WOW! Diesel is more than 50% cheaper here in Virginia USA than there (it would have only cost £22.38 here).
Welcome to our world 😥😂
Great car.....if we still were in 2005 !!!!
Any idea what that fob beside the main key is for?
I’ve got a 2016 supercharged V8 SVAutobiography LWB but have no idea what the additional fob is for
It is to turn on the cabin pre heat/cool. On a cold morning you can use it to warm the car up before you get in it 👍
Petrol Ped Cheers Pal! 👍🏼
Nice shoes
Thanks...Hugo Boss ;-)
What model do you think you should buy. Is the higher second hand price for the Autobiography worth it over the cheaper starting price of the Vogue SE
Go for the autobiography
