- Meet the new Range Rover Sport!
It’s the sportier edition of the world-renowned Range Rover, and Mat’s about to find out if you SUV lovers should go for the sport edition over the standard model.
On first impressions, it’s unmistakably a Range Rover, with a whole load of similarities to the standard edition. However, there are a couple of differences that show off that it’s the Sport edition. Around the back, there’s a big roof spoiler (the largest on any Range Rover, no less!), and both the front and rear are a bit more curvaceous than the standard Range Rover.
On the inside, the similarities continue, with the same dashboard and infotainment screen design. The centre console is slightly different, but overall it’s unmistakably a Range Rover of some description. The infotainment system is good (if a bit laggy) and you’re treated to a large digital dial display. Some areas of the cabin feel a bit cheaper than the standard Range Rover, but you certainly wouldn’t be disappointed if you were driving this on a daily basis!
There are a number of petrol, diesel and hybrid engines to choose from, but the range-topper is a 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 that can deliver 530hp! However, the plug-in hybrid isn’t a bad option, with a 3-litre twin-turbo straight-six & electric motor delivering 510hp, along with the option to travel up to 70 miles on electric power alone!
The Range Rover Sport starts from £80,000, but is it really worth choosing over competitors such as the Porsche Cayenne or BMW X5? Or more importantly, should you just pay a bit more and go for the standard Range Rover? You’ll have to join Mat and find out for yourself!

sport for me :)
Prev-gen Sport SVR
The ambient lighting in this car looks so beautiful.
I wish the Cayenne also had that...
Mercedes copy
There is something so cool about this model. Not only this new one, but the older ones are still very very nice aswell… Even the 2012 model is so sick when I see it driving, something is so timeless about these cars!
Ahhh
1. This car is not British and hasn’t been for quite some time. Land Rover is owned by Tata Motor Group based in Mumbai.
2. Fully loaded at about $150k, this car cost nearly double a loaded Genesis GV80 yet in a side by side comparison,Range Rover Sport falls short.
Something is motivating buyers of Range Rovers and it’s great marketing. Sorry fan boys. You can say you ‘just like but you’ll never convince me that ‘smart money’ ever buys this car.
Do u think people who buys really care about money?. They r mostly ultra rich who owns lot of cars@@williamingram8028
@@williamingram8028 this car is British, and will always be so. The fact that this “tata” bullshit owns “Land Rover” doesn’t switch it to be Indian, stop pushing your poor, dirty and gross india everywhere
I loved this review, it feels like traditional carwow feels like a throwback.
Fair point 😂
So true… love it
You mean before the knob gags?
As a previous owner of 2020 RR sport, I would never step foot back into LR dealership again. Broke down in the first month due to electrical problem caused by a failure in the entertainment unit, took the service center 3 weeks to fix. 4 months in, air suspension system failed and the roof lining started to sag. Serviced and got back, summer came and the engine was having overheating issues, engine line popping for no reason, happened due to a failure in the water lines. Followed by transmission failure last year. The car is capable and refine, but when it is not reliable, it is not just worth the hassle even if then give you extended warranty.
its amazing how he took 4 minutes to show us the front seat interior- it shows how in-depth he goes with it
Soooo much to go wrong, (and rest assured it will)
Love the interior theres just a zen like coolness to it
@@grahamherbert3612 what colour is your Range Rover?

I really dig UK's weather and how y'all manage to film many of your uploads in rain. Kinda adds the vibe to it.
Geoff off
Sir the weather sucks.
-Rishi Sunak
@@Amuserr I can also approve the weather is fucking trash over here😭😭
@@squadygamer1239 The only thing trash is the attitude and lack of appreciation for moisture! 90% of the world lacks proper and adequate rain!
I love the rain, people here just like to moan
This guy should have been picked as a new Top Gear presenter. He’s knowledgeable and entertaining, something Flintoff and McGuinness are missing in droves.
Sorry I haven’t been constantly watching been going through a lot but I love watching these videos ❤❤❤love you Matt ❤
no one cares
Finally! There are hundreds of foreign reviews but so few from UK journalists and the like. I have been waiting for this for a while Mat, thanks
Overall I still like the previous face lift the most of all the sports, where I like the newest fullsize the most. Features are great of course as that will always happen with newer models but I'm not sold on the rear end yet. Interior is cool but I also like the previous drive selector more but maybe thats just familiarity. Curious to see if it feels any different on the road when I get to drive them more often! Good review as always!
Edit: I almost forgot my favorite feature of the new rovers is that the door will hold open at any angle you leave it at. I didnt imagine that I would like that so much lmao
Saw one today and it really didn't scream Range rover elegance
Same new shape fullsize looks right. Better than before. New Sport something a bit lacking about the rear .
@@bensmithkent22 Its the lights for me, the previous gen made it looks more aggressive and somewhat designed with purpose. This just looks like a copy of full range on sport shape.
I currently have the previous face lift and I'm switching it for th new one - its levels and levels better than the old one I was so impressed and surprised at the improvement. Its the terrible infotainment that really lets the previous face lift down massively
3:39 I think that's fine, you can glance down and see which mode it's in. And either way it's miles better than what most manufacturers are doing nowadays.
Love You Bro Standing in Rain Weather Still Giving Us Real Car Reviews
Hey Matt, great review. After 25 years working in Land Rover, Porsche, BMW and M Benz retailers the BMWs were the brand with the most warranty issues. Personally driving 50,000 miles a year in each, the BMWs had most electrical isssues and the the Land Rovers were the ones that got me home safe, even in a foot of snow.
Did range rover pay you
LMAO not a paid shill at all. Might as well write the address of your Land Rover dealership and tell us who to ask for when we walk in.
Nonsense.
@@disarchitected I mean, my family has had our range rover sport supercharged for about 5 years and driven it over 70000 miles with no fault at all. I think most of these cars are heavily dependent on owner maintenance as most normal people I know do not strictly adhear to the maintanance schedule for their mercs, audis, porsches, bmws, range rovers, and etc so funnily enough all of them have always had some sort of issue with all of their cars lol.
50,000 per year is excessive though. Do you drive to the moon?
Waiting for a drag race between the new p530 V8 vs the previous gen SVR!
That centre console is near enough identical to the F Pace. It would be good to see your review on the new face lift F Pace. I’ve got one on order for March however annoyingly you can’t add meridian sound due to the chip shortage and digital screen is no longer available!
Thanks for watching send a direct
message for more enlightenment👆❤️^^*
Wow I didn't even notice how similar it is. Very odd. I hope that the new f-pace is better than the horrendous previous one!
@@TheDiabolocraft agree.
We have a 2021 XF and 2023 Range Rover Sport and the interior is almost identical, but there are a few small differences.
There was a jam on the a1m northbound the other day. It was a brand new Range Rover sport that had broken down, engine smoking and the rest.
thanks Mat, for being the only car journalist on earth that tests the middle seat in the back. As a father of three kids I really appreciate it.
Seriously tho, stop saying "this car is better than the predecessor because it's wider" especially on small cars, wider is worse
Was waiting for your Review MAT ♥️
The color grading on your productions have gone places! Bravo
The interior is fantastic, but outside I still prefer the previous model way more
the old one took some time to grow on me but eventually i really did like it. would be cool to see them side by side in a drag race/brake test
2018 is the best
For me there are three problems with the interior (and I have recently test driven one). The ‘floating’ screen looks like it’s attached to the dash with Velcro, the centre console is cheap looking black plastic, and the Meridian system is only 15 speakers and 400 watts. My late model series 2 isn’t going anywhere for a while.
I do like the normal RR design, but I still like the Sport for its compact size and its handling trait. It's just a shame that this gen RR Sport doesn't have 7-seater option.
You'll have the choice of more seats as you're waiting in the service area to get your keys returned after it's been repaired.
The way Mat pokes the screen at 15:11... It's priceless
Next time he should pick up a stick of truth and use it as a stylus.
The key of the Vauxhall Astra that you show is actually the exact same key that I have for my 2012 Peugeot 508 😅
lol, stay in the matrix
And 2022 308
@@themannestman Yes ofc because it's 99% the same car as the 308

Apart from Aston Martin.

Sweet rig… I will say though, I was more impressed with the design of the previous generation when it came out that I am with this one now. There was something about that last one that was just so damn good looking at this one doesn’t quite have
Sweet rig??????
Think it was the non-evoque shape
Hi. Love your reviews Mark. Spot on. Just wondering who makes the Jacket you've on. Very similar to my Laksen but shorter and bigger hand pockets.. sorry to bother you but I've searched extensively online but can't find it. Thanks. Kind regards.
As my friend who’s a service manager said :”the benefits of buying range rovers are, you’ll feel part of the company, as you’ll spend of your time seeing your local technician.”
We all have a 'friend' that has something to say really about everything .. sort of ...
😂😂😂
You or him probably never owned one…still talking shit🤷🏾♂️
@@DrumaticTVi Owned 2020 Range rover sport SVR Carbon edition. every two weeks in repairs
@@Lejaxsharisabut why.. what keeps breaking so much?
At least its a only a bit 'sporty', which means a comfortable ride for most of the time. Engines should be inspired by motorsport not suspension. Suspension should be inspired by rally driving on the softest possible setting but of course with hard sway bars so no leaning in bends
The most amazing vehicle ever ... for the 10months of the year you'll actually have it.
And in the other 2 months I'm sure the Service Center will provide you with a lovely courtesy car.
My nearest dealership (in NW England) has a night shift in their workshop.
Just think about that.
Very nice motor gov. Really nice actually without being too over the top.
The divider isn't for shopping but mainly as a seat as you don't have a split tail gate so you can picnic from the car at country shows/the races/change shoes easier when walking the dog etc
pretty uncomfortable seat as it doesn't even fold to 90 degrees, and your trousers are going to get very dirty when your legs hang over the rear bumper.
A huge well done for deleting the rearmost seats which massively compromise several aspects of the vehicle and not just rear space! Interior quality looks very good indeed, just hoping reliability has taken a leap in the right direction! 👏😀👍
Reliability has improved so much in the last 5/6 years just as reliable as BMW and Mercedes now and personally I think more prestigious
@@adamrbing i agree
@@adamrbing Source? I am still seeing range rover's reliability as quite low. Mercedes and BMW's reliability aren't even on the same level, as most sources have BMW listed as having better reliability.
@@adamrbing What are you talking about mate... cut the crap! Land Rover is dead last in reliability according to JD power's 2022 list. Bmw and mercedes are leaps ahead in reliability
@@adamrbing Plus, Car and Driver places the RR sport 18th in its category.... womp womp...
There are 3 12v sockets on these Mat:
-One inside the passenger glove box (the top one)
-One on the centre console of the rear seats
-And one on the boot, on the vertical of the RR corner
😜
@@car_wow3 Sorry, won what? 😂
if those ac controls go back to temp after operation then they are very easy to use without looking. you know your own car so being able to push for seat heating and cooling or pull for fan speed without looking is nice.
My friend bought a 2018 about 6 months ago, it's still in the dealer getting fixed.
I owned a previous generation sport, had no issues with reliability however it was constantly being broken into. The security on them is awful. I still see RR sports with steering locks on them - at this price range you shouldn’t have to add a sodding steering lock. The performance wasn’t great either, the lag would often cause issues when pulling out of turnings. The gadgets and general quality of the car was spot on but not sure I’d buy another.
Lmao bro carwow has 7 million subs now??? Y’all have come a long way and I’m happy for that💯
These reviews are so addictive I enjoyed the whole video.
What took you so long great review as always cause you are Mat Watson and it's carwow
What a amazing car Mat and review
The only thing that makes me interested in this car is the surround cameras. Thanks for reviewing.💙💙❤❤
Hey matt Can you do a off road battle between new range rover sport , the range rover and defender!
Looks alright still, dont look too bad
And nice with the REAL exhausts 👌🏾
Mat ls a brilliant reviewer. I watched this vid even though I wouldn't own a Range Rover even if I won one in a raffle. I love his comprehensive reports on the cars and his amusing asides. A lesson to all other reviewers on how it should be done.
Land Rover is still wholly unreliable and rated as such. Agree, no thanks
fantastic cars...got a Velar and a RR Sport on order. You should try one and you'll change your mind.
That's unfortunate let me know if u win one I'll be more than happy to trade it for my dad's base model 2005 honda accord with 100k+ miles on it💀
@@_ph4nt0mzz_47 Actually, I had an Accord about 10 years ago and it was an amazing car. Very frugal and a huge load-carrier. I loved it. The RR is yours when I win it.
@@garycorrigan5541 best of luck to you. You’re certainly going to need it!
Did you mention which engine is in the car you driving here Matt?
I would love it if Matt would review cars in light colour of interior as you can barely see the inside with those black seats.
As a LR tech I can genuinely say I haven’t seen even 1 come back yet, which is great!
How often does LR update manufacturing process to deal with known issues?
@@edza118 pretty quick tbf, they have a full compartment for that- just depends how many were built in the time they noticed the issues
@@Nismo1 my 2016 evoque se dynamic has now 226'000km on the clock. Runs so good to this day
Not too bad only been out there a few months
From my experience the ingenium engines haven't been that problematic, probably about on par with the German competitors. Most of the issues they have these days are just software issues, which quite often seem to get misdiagnosed as hardware issues and have modules replaced instead of a simple software update. Slowly but surely the software issues are being ironed out so they're getting there
My favorite is the Porsche Cayenne and the Macan too, but I have to say that this Range Sport is not bad at all, I like it. Thanks for the always nice video, Mat.
range rovers are more for off road than being fast
@@officialJoebiden true for the old ones, and yeah the new ones are still pretty capable and have all of the modes but do you really think this new sport was built with offroading in mind with all seasons and big alioy wheels
I prefer the Merc GLE over all of these. On a different level!
@@officialJoebiden yep. As cool as it possibly get.
@@stratis722 the RR SPORT 2022 for me not gonna match the 2008 version of the same car.

Nice Vehicle, not sold on the rear lights just yet, I'll stick with the previous version for now.
Hi Matt, nice review.
Looking for a car with big booth for (big) dog bench.
How do you measure booth size? You said 835L .. The dealer says 647 L for thr RR Sport and 725L for the bigger RR.
The interior on the new sport is miles ahead of the game. Stuff you can’t really see on video. But the materials used and how it feels inside vs it’s direct competitors are superb
I’ve sat in the new Range Rover Sport, the interior quality and the materials are superb.
I sat in the old shape full fat autobiography lwb rangey on a 19 plate. Sat in as in im poor and had to move it for the director of a shipping firm so get to have a poke around. It was the very top one. Top of the instrument binnacle was shockingly hollow and flimsy and the pedals no better than a focus ecoboosts. Other touchpoints headlining seat leather superb but the audis and cayennes of this world are better made. Hes traded it in for an rsq8 thats much better all round inside if you dig and prod properly just darker. Also had the pleasure of moving a cullinan thats just insane inside.
@@bensmithkent22 yeah A Rolls is on another level compared to everything else. Although I’ve never been on one.
@@bensmithkent22 I do a lot of benchmarking as part of my job. The new RR & RRS are massively improved and probably better then most competitors. I’ve found a lot of BMW & Audi equivalents have nice materials in high touch areas, above waistline. But very plasticky lower down. Grade of carpet is also cheap on some them. Had a look at a taycan and was surprised how cheap it was inside in some areas. Bentayga looks very premium with the bling but they skimp out in other areas such as boot, grab handles etc.
Rolls is very good but also a lot more expensive.
The car has more plastic than all other its competitors
While you were talking about the exterior, I didn't see a rear washer/wiper. Is it unavailable in this car, or was it hidden below the spoiler.? 🤔
In all of the range rovers they are hidden in the spoiler
I think us and you already know the answer to your inexcusable question of unwarranted intent, but just incase it's a. "Land Rover" Product. Would they really forget to acknowledge thee "rear wiper"? 🤔
Everyone ask self.
For me the most important test is always the „carwow stick of truth“.
Love it ❤
Can you do a drag race of all the lambo huracan variations? LP610, LP580, Performante, Evo, Evo rwd, sto, tecnica and the new one revealed called the Sterrato? That will be a very interesting race to see which is the best Huracan.
It's a hard one. The bigger brother is a stunning car but if you want something that is enjoyable to drive the Sport is better.
So great Range Rover, love it, typically the design is very elegant, and strong feelings.
Hi Mat, can you also put on the link of your wardrobe clothing as well under your comment section or put it on the pop up banner...? I'm loving your jacket...
The design of the screen is absolutely cutting-edge, but they need to use a better SOC next time (not smooth enough).
Wow Mat makes everything a masterpiece 👏
Finally a Land Rover adding real exhaust
Really humorous guy, I found myself laughing the whole time. Thanks for the review.
Matt put the links of all comparative cars at the end of the video...keeps subcribers tuned
I am a big fan overall but I do wish they would have integrated that large center screen and the speedometer screen into the dash. Integrated into the dash looks better than the floating screen look so many manufacturers go for.
Beautiful, I hope it’s more reliable now ❤
As always very nice/complete car review
Note: trunk/boot space info is NOT correct. Boot of real Range Rover is still +-200 liters bigger!
Hey Mat..... You've really explained very good and I felt very interesting of this Range Rover Sport and just wanted to know where have you took the video of this car exactly at which place..... As I'm from India and it is very green over there and it is a very good place to have an amazing ride in the Range Rover........... 😊
Police: Do you know why you were pulled over?
Mat: because I'm mat wattson

@@user-tb4ow1xp2w it is. I don't like RR (or any SUV type car), but this one is very nice.

this video for some reason captures a LOT of road noise from your audio. is it the mounting position? or the car is louder?
19:42 the brake test was done at 69mph. Not 60mph
I like this new style…to lease it for 3yrs so I don’t have to deal with any issues.
If you were to lease this exact model for 3 years, how much would you have paid in total over the 3 year period? Genuine question.
@@electricbreeze Depends of many factors but now with prices really high, I would pay around $1,300/month…that’s $39K in a 3yrs lease.
Hidden window rubbers is brilliant
Rubbers are brilliant, hidden or not, if you ask me.
Hear hear
Can you do a review of the PHEV Model of the Range Rover Sport? Please include the mileage on EV Only mode and also combined.
The most annoying thing is that now is looking more bulky than the previous one by making the windows less taller. Range rover had a special feeling because of the view from interior where the margins of the windows were lower than the elbow level.
We just got ours 2 weeks ago and love the thing already! The fridge is a must. I wonder if the owner sourced the spare wheel themselves as you cannot order it with the car. We did and it was cancelled as it’s not available.I noticed that the car has the same missing LED’s from the strip under the steering wheel as ours has, what’s that all about.
How long was your wait time? I ordered one in September and no news on build date!
@@pedrocorpus spot on 6 months but we did order on release day.
@@pedrocorpus It was 6 months almost to the day. We were one of the first orders in. If you click on my TH-cam channel there’s a couple of videos on it along with a pretty unique story as we’ve sort of ordered 2. We were told that if you ordered the top of the range one (ours isn’t that one) the wait would be very long as they can’t get the parts for some of the extras. I hope yours comes soon.

It's indeed the perfect car. Except for the part that barely anyone will be able to afford it. In time when the more and more people have less and less money. Brilliant.
