- ( www.TFLcar.com ) The 2016 Range Rover Sport Diesel Td6 is a very luxurious off-road SUV that can now be purchased with a 3.0L turbo diesel engine as Roman found out in the TFLcar off-road review.

Those "Fake" air vents on the hood that you mentioned, are actually functional. Those are the intakes for the engine, as the entire hood is an airbox, funneling the air from the hood, into the four intakes in the top of each fender. Those are clearly visible in your underwood shots, and this is the case with all the big Ranger Rovers in the current gen.
That's part of way the fording depth of the entire line of the big boys was raised several inches...the intakes being moved to the hood, as opposed to the old location on the side of the fenders. ;)
This diesel is a very appropriate powertrain for the Range Rover. When you consider how people actually drive them, a torquey diesel is a great match. Add to that the substantial increase in fuel mileage and subsequent increase in range and you have a compelling argument for it. At only $1,500 one really has to wonder why most buyers wouldn't go that route.
The hood vents aren't fake. They provide a secondary path for intake air if the fender well intake ports become submerged. This allows for class leading fjording depths up to just below the headlights. The vents supply air through the hood and into the upper part of the airbox via a channel just below the hood vent that runs forward to the airbox on each side.
Alot of people think Range Rovers are just expensive because of the name, but a lot of engineering goes into these purpose built vehicles. There aren't many off road capable vehicles (that have locking center and rear differentials with air suspension and good approach/departure angles) that are available with over 500 HP and handles like a sport sedan on-road while still looking good enough to turn heads in the city. I have 3 sets of wheels for mine, 20" with off-road rubber, 21" with snow tires, and 22" with summer rubber and I use them all throughout the year. That's all you need to transform this SUV into a vehicle that can literally do it all.
The hood vents are not fake, they are the air intake for the engine, they work with a duct system to the side vents to Stop water getting into the engine.
Yeah, at 2:22 in the video ; notice how the rear bumper is a slightly different shade than the rest of the paint job?
My gasoline powered 2006 Toyota Corolla makes more of a diesel 'clatter' than that Range Rover does. It always did, even when it was new.
The 2017 RRS has a 306bhp V6 diesel with 516ft/lb of torque and a 20% improvement in fuel economy, in the UK I can get 50mpg if I am careful, generally average 42mpg.
I have one - so far so good, love it (Knock on wood ZERO Issues). My mixed driving MPG is 26MPG and all highway MPG average is 31.5 cruising @ 70MPH.
The 0-60 time is a little better than 7.1sec as stated- if you use the sport shift. The normal Drive setting was used in review, which 2nd gear used to start. Once in you're in sport mode once shift up drops you into first.
Lol any problems now ? Buying used next week.
Could you guys manage to do a wrangler rubicon vs rr diesel off road shoot out? And if the new wrangler comes with a diesel, then the wrangler diesel vs rr diesel would be awesome to see. Too bad we dont get the defender in the usa
The problem with the Jeep Grand Cherokee is that it's track record for reliability has been pretty bad, in fact the Jeep line-up in general seems to follow this norm. The stats are still out on the Range Rover so that may be a non issue and one has to consider maintenance cost, insurance etc, but if you have the money to buy a Range Rover, why would you even consider a vehicle that may be spending more time in your local mechanics garage rather in your own garage?
it's a very nice put together vehicle and I'm very surprised on how they handled that diesel
Do a real world all day test vs the diesel grand Cherokee... Off road, towing, highway and usability
When your accelerating does it sound good?
Hi guys,
What camera were you using during the interior sections?
I also have a RR sport diesel, but it comes without central locker, does it still off road capable like others?
1500 for the diesel option? Well worth it. Isn't Jeep's diesel around a 3k option? Besides it's a Range Rover, their clients have deep pockets, so 1500 is tip money for a month. LOL.
+Michael Agostino Generally diesels will retain more value than gasoline versions so it is likely a buyer would get all that and perhaps more back at trade in when compared to an identical gasoline version.
+Michael Agostino in my experience diesel engined mpg is much closer to that claimed than for petrol in the real world. I suppose because of the narrower rev range
bought this range ts6 a month ago..its already in the shop with engine hesitation and stumbling issues..get the gas lr4..its versatile rides better and just makes more sense.
+chasnu72 The LR4 is too heavy for the current model's engine (V6) and gets awful fuel economy. It's also just as reliable as your Range Rover.
Pretty lame cheap shot at VW...
TFL responded when they did their immediate video on the VW scandal, saying that it was newsworthy, and they even made a video to try and prove how awful the fix will be. BOTH WERE WRONG! The fix they came out public with stated that it wouldn't lose hp or trq. and that the 3L V6 TDI's only had a small bit of the code, but no actual cheat device. TFL did not report this in any way, further perpetuating this mentality that people only need to report on the sexy news, but corrections or solutions aren't interesting, even if it saves face for the subject. So sad. THERE ISN'T EVEN A STOP SALE ON TDI ANYMORE!! I just bought an A7 TDI last week!
This Range Rover absolutely will compete with the Cayenne Diesel and the Diesel X5, but not the Q7, because the market for luxury sports suv/crossovers splits by rows of seats. The Q7 is all on its own. To say that this in any way compares to a Jeep is only based on guts, not reality of purchaser. No one who is in the market for a Range Rover would be caught dead inside a Jeep dealership...
The Touareg TDI and the Jeep match in price and innards, minus that the Touareg doesn't have the air suspension that it came with until 2010. (Although it will be back in 2017).
I like TFL, you guys have a lot of good insight, but please stop feeding the hysteria with your hyperbole and obvious bias. Thanks!
+Nick Wright Thanks Nick but you can't argue with a fanboy. What VW did was cheat and deceive both the government and their buyers. They admitted it, and apologized, but the fact remains that they set diesel sales back in the United States for years. It is completely fair game to point this out when the first new diesel is introduced in the U.S.A. since the scandal. In fact it would be unprofessional of Roman to not acknowledge the diesel elephant in the room.
+The Fast Lane Car They did admit to cheating in the 2L engines, no argument there. But they also released a fix for that (which you never reported on). The 3L engines they never admitted to cheating with. EPA found traces of the 2L software in the 3L, but not in any way that would function, (Also something you never reported on). They also significantly decreased the number that they believe to be effected to below 40k! So yes there was a scandal which you guys blew out of proportion, because you reported it before all the facts had been released. Now that the facts are here, you guys are silent except to poke at their expense.
Also you say that the fact remains that they set diesel sales back in the US for years, but even during this entire news story, Mercedes, BMW, FCA, etc. did not report any significant or noticeable drop in diesel sales....so...
+Nick Wright Please stop making excuses for VW. Even the company admits they lied.
+The Fast Lane Car I agree that it is necessary to mention the Diesel scandal when a new Diesel car is released.
What I actually would like to see is a report on the different emissions standards in EU and US (esp. California). Because it is rather astonishing that they US laws seem soo much stricter for NOx emissions than the EU standards, while the EU standards are (afaik) stricter on CO2.
And since gas engines don't have any propblem with NOx emissions, but on the other hand produce more CO2 than Dieselsdo (due to their higher avg consumption), it seems that the US emissions are made in such a way that they provide a trade barrier for European Diesel cars to protect US carmakers.
OR...
The EU standards are designed in such a way that the Europeans are pushed to buying more Diesel (better fuel economy, lower CO2), which is a type of engine in which the EU carmakers are way ahead of the US.
Either way, I find it strange that the emissions standards seem to be designed with actual economic goals in mind, which I find rather hypocritical, given that they are supposed to be protecting the environment...
And at the same time ships are burning the dirtiest of fuels (fuel oil) and causing NOx and fine dust emissions to a huge extent and the public does not seems to care.
+ The Fast Lane Car It's a Peugeot HDI that's been available in Europe and other parts of the World for 10+ years. USA does not get the 3.5 liter version yet. Ford's involvement is going-in half on building the Plant in the UK. Ford is still debating whether to offer it on the F-150.
Peugeot is/are the best Light-Duty Diesels built on the Globe.
range rover best 4x4 in the world always has been always will be.
You've Outdone Yoursepf. What's uu, property force ! !
Can you guys review the Mercedes ML320 w163 or at least include it in your next mashup? I don't think that truck got enough love or attention.
They will find some way to tell you to rather buy a Jeep.
very nice
One of the things I'm not sure about from your review is the quality of the ride. You kept saying luxurious, but that was when you were off-road (?) does it have the same (almost) Rolls Royce level ride that the top Range Rover is famed for? Thanks.
If you are still looking for a reply after a month, here's one from an owner - no, the rise in the sport isn't as good as a Rolls Royce, but it's pretty damn close, and far far better than the last gen range rovers
The RR website says the MSRP is $66K so your one had every option included. I looked at a comparable Grand Cherokee Limited group 2 with the diesel engine and it comes out at 45K. I grant its cheaper but are Range Rover buyers looking at Jeeps? The Fancier High Altitude with Diesel is about $52. Which will have a better resale value and does that Jeep diesel sound as quiet
+Stephen Doherty The RR has 7 seats and loads more cargo room. The Jeep with the Diesel sounds like a World War 2 tank and doesn't perform well at all. It hasn't sold almost any Diesels.
Man I'd like to see the head to head of this and the Jeep Grand Cherokee
Shots fired at "subaru has no low range". I love both brands and actually have them. But the forester has x-mode which sorta like a low range.
+Keith Tan Not quite, but Subarus aren't made for rock crawling. They do what they do VERY well.
Diesel has been proven all over the world as being more efficient than gasoline. I don't believe the scandal involving VW affects sales of diesel vehicles overall.
It is good to note that Range Rover is only asking a premium of $1,500 for a diesel, unlike every other manufacturers here in the U.S. asking for more than $4,000 for a diesel engine option.
What'swrong witha little diesel clatter? We all love engine sounds when you accelerate hard, new diesels make much nicer sound at accelerating than gasoline engines. The thing we get with diesels is torque, better fuel economy and a lot better engine flexibility which you actually need in every day driving. I've actually owned and loved the small Renault Twingo II with 1.5L diesel (appx. 60mpg), it was a totally different car from the gasoline one. Now I drive a bigger diesel (around 40mpg)...
diesel clatter is defined by a non super duty 7.3
+crashandburnbirner please explain?
Cause the 9th gen fords dont have as much insulation as the super dutys, and the 7.3's are super loud and rattle like a mofo
MPG to gallon? I am pretty sure MPG means miles per gallon :) Careful next time lol
Arda Celik I think it was MPG/to be gallon lol
Do a comparison to the jeep grand Cherokee ecodeisel side by side
I agree on this review for some parts. But they are not justifying things with what those cars come out with.Suspension of RRS is a different level with Grand Cherokee, it's the same suspension system that they use it in Mercedes S Class. Materials, finishes are different.... Comparing those two vehicles by just the short moment of feel of driving.... Don't think it's a professional way to justify things. Grand Cherokee, Range Rover, Porsche... They are all great cars, but STOP justifying things with just the price tag without any details.... Too much patriot shyt going on in this team.
dm84sin Absolutely agree!
Love Bryan
How reliable suspension wise?
So is this the same 3.0L and 8sp that comes in the Grand Cherokee? Or did Range Rover actually develop their own engine?
Bwahahaha.... Ignorant
+Skiballas the great First, calling somebody ignorant for asking a question is very narrow minded. Two, this engine appears to be new for the US, even if it was offered in Europe. Two, turns out it is the same ZF 8sp Trans that FCA uses in the GC.
+Stuka87 that was three points.
+Stuka87 The Diesel in the Jeep is a Fiat unit. The only thing that it has in common with the Range Rover engine is that they're both 3.0L. The Fiat engine sounds like a WW2 and drives like a Yugo.
+George Lurye The 3.0L EcoDiesel is pretty quiet, or at least it is in the GC and Ram.
What's the background music from 2:00?
Can some one tell me if the interior color is Cirrus ?
Looks like a fancy Explorer 😜
+scterka Let me put it to you this way.... Ford used to own Jaguar/Land Rover and made some great improvements on it's overall reliability. In regards to your "fancy Ford Explorer" comment, if you lift the hood of most Range Rovers these days you will still find a few parts with the "FOMOCO" name on them which is short for Ford Motor Company. TATA may still own them but Ford still has a great relationship with them as a parts supplier. And yes I agree, the Ford Explorer looks like a Range Rover without the power or the Air lift suspension. ;)
+scterka The Range Rover Sport is just like a fancy Explorer in the same way as a Rolls-Royce Phantom is the same as a fancy Lincoln Town Car.
+scterka Perhaps that's because the current gen RR's and the new Explorer were actually designed by the same person.
+TheSirUno Who is that person?
+George Lurye Jeremy Clarkson ;)
You're basically paying for the name and that Range Rovers are hand build, which costs more to do. Even UK Top Gear agrees that a car being hand build doesn't make for good quality. I remember watching an episode of American Top Gear where they had the Ranger Rover Sport and when it rained they learned that the moon roof leaked and after just a couple days the air bag suspension stopped working.
Actually Seraphim, they aren't hand built - I've been to the factory and seen the robots at work. So these days the quality is terrific and the reliability fine. We've had 3 in the family after owning BMWs and Toyotas and the build quality is at least as good.
MrPeterthepilot Well that episode was years ago and maybe it was just a joke from them being hand built in the 90's or something.
+Seraphim Valkyrin The guys on Top Gear are notorious bashers of Ranger Rover, but... even they've all agreed that they are the best 4x4s around. Their reliability was shoddy. It's average these days. Every manufacturer's reliability is about the same these days.
I will tell you this though... in the US, the resale value of RR Sports is through the roof! Driving one is quite the experience.
+Seraphim Valkyrin
I remember the Top Gear Episode where they took a Range Rover, Land Cruiser and Suzuki Samurai through the jungles of South America... Jeremy was commenting on the old days of Land Rover which was shortly after the war when they started making cars... The Chief engineers and technicians designing Land Rovers had the mentality of "that's good enough", "that will do". And you're right they were hand built because they could not afford to dump millions into manufacturing an automated system or even an assembly line type of production line. So yes, this led to boosting the image of the "Hand Built car" to maintain sales.
Once the Japanese flexed their muscles and developed robotic assembly lines, they were able to not just make better cars than the British and the North Americans, but also sold their robots and robot technology (same with the Germans). These days Land rover no longer makes ANY of their cars by hand and technically even "hand built engines" are not made by hand... The blocks are all milled and drilled by computer controlled robots and the only hands on part of it is where the engine components are added onto it. Even this stage is meticulously controlled and monitored. These days, it's a bit misleading to say that any car or engine is hand built. Maybe the engine is hand assembled but that's about it.
Ironically enough it's not Land Rover's core components that fail (engine, transmission). it's the bells, whistles and fancy air suspension that fails. These things are so electronically complex that it only takes one thing to short circuit or fail and then it's a domino effect.... Been there, done that, got the t-shirt. This isn't exclusive to Land rover either..... Many car companies are suffering the same issues
+George Lurye No way, Top Gear loves Land Rover, especially Jeremy. They have multiple episodes on them and rarely bash them.
A number of years ago Popular Mechanics did their own pollution comparison between a VW Jetta and a Toyota Prius. The Prius did NOT win. Having owned a Jetta diesel and actually achieved 50mpg PLUS on the highway.....it's like everything else......a few uninformed but very LOUD MOUTH people with a platform bash diesels so the heard of people (too lazy to do their own research) just fall for the line that's being pitched. When you can have a comfortable nice vehicle with a range of 600-800 miles OR MORE....that's an option gas and electric simply can't offer. Unless Jeeps have changed a LOT.....I don't believe comfort wise a Jeep is anywhere close to Range Rover/BMW/Audi and a few others when it comes to comfort.
If it doesn't have locking axles, your not going to touch a Grand Cherokee off road. The only complaint with the Jeep is you need to always keep trading it in on a new one before it rusts out.
+Daveinet LOL That's a fairly big complaint about the rust. Re-watch the video. They do talk about the locking differentials. They are electronic and vary from full lock to partial lock, depending on the terrain.
It must be loaded with options, so that the price came to 82K. The high spec HSE trim with the diesel option must be less expensive. The Rangie is better then the Jeep Grand Cherokee, but no way the difference is worth 30K.
82K seems more like full size Range Rover or Sport SVR type of money.
twice as nice for twice the price, my mom drives a new grand Cherokee, nothing wrong with it but it along with most new cars are just blah. there is nothing that defines one from another nothing special
I must have missed the hp numbers, can someone enlighten me, Tia.
It's cheper in Australia
On paper the Jeep and the RR compete, in the real world they definitely do not. It's not the same 3.0 Diesel and Jeep definitely isn't in the same calibre of class and Range Rover...
+Anthony Dunn It's like comparing a Lincoln Town Car to a Rolls Royce Phantom.
people buying a VW care about fuel mileage ... people buying a 90,000 luxury sub don't even think about fuel costs
sorry to break it to you, but 90K for a luxury car doesn't mean much these days. So people will care about the economy even at that price range.
+No Way $90k means $90k. I don't know what you're talking about. The only cars that cost $90k are high end luxury vehicles such as M-B, BMW, Jaguar, Lexus (only the top end ones), etc.
Lost me at 5:33
A loaded Outback 3.6R Limited is $37K
Two comments: highway driving gives me 6.5 liters per 100 km (over 40 mpg) in my Australian SDV6 so why is he only getting 28 (or is that actually combined?). Second: take his point about the Grand Cherokee. My mate has one but on trips, he wants to take my RRS and to be honest I'm not so bothered about taking his GC!
I believe Americans measure mpg differently
Quite right Nipple, I'd forgotten. Comes out at 36 mpg by my new calculation.
+MrPeterthepilot cars for the us market are designed to use more fuel. if they would allow some models sold in europe or asia, their gas guzzlers wouldn't sell any more...
Roman, please quiet saying "miles per gallon to the gallon."
MPG = Miles Per Gallon
+The Fast Lane Car I think he's referring to 1:34 for instance when you said "25.1 MPG to the gallon". Saying "to the gallon" is redundant because MPG already means miles PER GALLON. It's like saying "80 MPH to the hour"... get it?!
+Scott Larson "Quit" not "quiet", Mr. grammar....
Wow $87k and it's still not fully loaded?
No need for hints the title says it all
definitely the king of the off road but it may not be on the road...
It's also - very pretentious.
That aside, this Diesel has been available since launch in Europe and typically accounts for around 80% of sales.
huh. they sure do like their diesels on that side of the pond...
+Nippledozer Fuel was up £1.50 per liter the last few years around $8.20 a gallon (in the UK) down a bit now, it's £1.08 per liter today. (will leave you work out what that is in US gallons, It's too early here,my brain cell has not woken up yet.:) Think it's below $2 in the USA. Feel my jealousy :) Diesel usually means more mpg, and at those prices every little helps :) Seasons greetings to you from Wales.
+Rob George Wow.. I had no idea it was that expensive over there! Damn OPEC... lol. And happy holidays from Texas!
+Nippledozer thank you, and damn out government for taxing the crap out of our fuel.
Too true, thank fully the price has been more stable in recent years!
2:38 why is the bumper cover mismatched.
+Tim Borisenko I noticed that too. I'm guessing maybe another car reviewer messed it up and instead of replacing the whole car and possibly messing up another vehicle it would just be cheaper to replace the bumper.
+Tim Borisenko i think is just the dust and lighting which made it look of a different color
+Tim Borisenko I thought the same thing!
It's also Indian not British - so buy a Jeep (and I'm British!)
+Peter I It's engineered in the UK, built in the UK out of parts that were built in the UK. Now... is that a good thing? I'm not sure an Indian car would be worse.
Jeeps, by your thinking logic are Italian (Fiat.)
STOP SAYING MPG TO THE GALLON... the acronym MPG means Miles Per Gallon. It makes you sound severely unintelligent when you're introducing a vehicle saying it get "...MPG's to the gallon."
Ryan E. Brown like VIN number
And PIN number for ATM machine !@@jaymontange8260
americans: BEING CHEAPER IS MOST IMPORTANT FACTOR IN COMPARING CARS. also saying the grand cherokee has the 'same amount of luxury' is utter bull because it has the most plasticky interior compared to a rover.
+CoDaLoo It's also considerably smaller, has only 5 seats and has 1/10th of the technology or comfort. The Grand Cherokee with the Diesel sounds like a WW2 tank. This Range Rover is totally silent on the road somehow.
How is this possible? You ge a fantastic car for a review and all I can hewar is your voice in my left ear bud? C'mon!
Take it to the Gold Mine Hill
Why compare it with a Jeep ?:) LOL Compare it with a Duster better ..cause is way cheaper and good capability in off road. A Range is about the brand , the image , the lifestyle , the safety , the confidence , the feeling of being more . The active safety systems on the car , the smart "terrain response" program which has more electronics and mechanics than a factory. You tested the TDV6 which is the lower option with less hp and torque , with no brembo brakes , with no adaptive dynamics , with no torque vectoring, no active stabilisers . The car has lot more to offer than you can imagine. The Jeep feels like a jeep on the road , even if is same capable as a rangie off road- the center of gravity is higher. Also take note that the range sport has a full body aluminium chasis which is normal to be more expensive than regular body on steel frame. Also the 4x4 Systems on cars are so much different. Range I think they use Haldex Gen 4 with 2 electronically locking differentials (which can be 25/50/75% or 100% locked) which are adaptive (linked to some sensors of the car) I havent seen this type of "LSD" in manny cars and I saw some in my life. Even the drivetrain of the range is so much smarter. Anyway lot more electronics so probably lot more stuff to go wrong after the warranty ..But the engineering level is probably same as from a Tesla car.
+Senchiu But Kia Rio is soooooooo much cheaper!
if you want serious offroad land rover, just go with discovery or LR3/LR4. Discovery is better offroad vehicle than RR sport.
Two Toyota 4runner's or two Jeep Wrangler's vs one Range Rover? Given the repair history of RR I don't get it.
+wcjeep = Same thing here; I also don't get it.
+wcjeep Well you wouldn't "get it" would you? Jealous american.
+Honesty Counts Don't "get it" at all mate. They're much too good for your kind.
+John Smith it's not just the price. The reliability of the vehicle is really bad. Parts have to be imported to the US. I have seen other Range Rovers off-road. There is nothing special with the Range Rover when off-road. A Toyota 4runner or Jeep JK Wrangler can easily go just as many places off-road at half the cost.
wcjeep
Of course parts have to be imported into the us - it's an imported vehicle!! Or are you under the illusion that it is made somewhere in the us? As for a jeep - I have just returned a jeep wrangler to the dealer I bought it off, broken down for the fourth time with 7414 miles on the clock from new. In two months I have lost about eight grand - in Pounds Sterling on that vehicle. Yes Toyotas are reliable. Until they go wrong. How much for an exchange Hilux gearbox do you think? For a two year old vehicle, more than the vehicle was worth. Quite honestly I wonder why Jaguar/Land Rover bother selling cars to the us at all when the only feedback they get focusses on reliability issues. If the vehicle was that bad the company would have gone bust years ago. Instead the factories in the West Midlands, England, UK are being extended, expanded and rebuilt.
the jeep grand Cherokee gets quite bad reviews in the UK.
+Harry Murray-Jones Because it's actually no better of a car. It's just cheaper.
The Range Rover cant be compared with the Jeep Grand Cherokee. The Jeep is very unsafe in a Moose Test it failed several times because of its poorly set up suspension. SO yeah, its cheaper, but also quicker to kill you haha
Who care what it cost its a range rover iv had three rangies and love them iv also got a brand new landcruiser and would much prefer to drive my range rover sport and then to compare it to a jeep really in Australia the jeeps have a bad name
But the Grand Cherokee failed the Moose test and got a 'Marginal' on the overlap test. So...no thanks. Besides, it's been proven that the RR isn't taken off road until the 3rd owner. It's a luxo cruiser, until it's out of warranty. The Jeep is a deathtrap.
Id just wait for Ford to put the engine in the 2018 F150 then get it lol
Jonathon Smith Your prayers have been answered brother.
you can tell that its a diesel when you started it outside.
People are not cross shopping this vehicle with a Jeep. People buy this for exclusivity,,,,,whether it's right or wrong.
You can´t compare cheap us Jeep grand cherokee with a Range Rover Sport Diesel Td6 quality car.
Fred is definitely Dwight's cousin. Tell me otherwise
Nobody purchases this car to save money ... so comparing the price and the fuel saving if it pays it off ... neeeh, if you have 80+ grand to spend on this kind of car you can buy all the fuel it needs before it falls apart.
Oh chuckle chuckle chuckle..... What is next, reviewing an E-class Mercedes and then telling people "Oh it is so expensive, I would rather buy a Ford Taurus, it also has 4 wheels, 4 Doors, a steering wheel and an engine. I mean it doesn't compete with Mercedes in any way or even appeal to the same target market, but it is cheap, and it is American, this is Roman, once again flying the flag".
I'm really tired of the same comments all the time....."I need to get it to Colorado to put it through the paces"......I only have had the car for a short period of time, so it's not fair to you or the manufacturer". Blah blah blah.
What do you want us to do when we had the Range Rover Sport for exactly 4 hours and we had to drive it 150 miles, film it, take it off-road, interview the experts and produce a professional review? The entire TFL staff works 24-7 to create these reviews.
+The Fast Lane Car and what you do is much appreciated!
+The Fast Lane Car So, you guys work twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week ? No wonder you always look so bloody rough.
Stas G. Have you been peeping in through my bedroom window, you pervert ?
"along with OTHER German Luxury..."
$1500 that's it ? the Colorado is $3700 for the diesel
yeah cause its a rip off, cause there is not 3700 woth of extra parts on a diesel
Looks like a "Dusty Track" aint seen no Off Road Capability here !!!!!
Jeep GC is as luxurious as a Range Rover?! Thanks for the enlightenment!
the extra money you paying for the name of the company
+Mark Brugger so true, Id rather buy a jeep, Will save loads on fuel. Will be Broken down so much
+App Cheating or a 4runner, no one wants a fiat jeep.
MPG to the gallon???? Miles per gallon to the gallon??? Must be a European thing.
Diesel in Tx. $2.60. Sup unl. $2.10. Costco S.A. Tx. Take awhile to justify $1,500 opt.
You fuel up less lol
How can you pretend the diesel clatter "is almost not there" is beyond me. :P
I mean no offense, but... c'mon :D
HOW DARE THEY COMPARE THIS TO SUBARU! a land rover may have low range, but subarus are a good 50 to 65k cheaper.
+King James They were simply bringing up the different types of AWD systems out there and Subaru's system is considered the world over to be the best. The Range Rover is more of a 4x4 with advantages of AWD.
Yeah you compare a grand Cherokee to a Range Rover. See which one breaks down first
Never own any range rover vehicle that is not under warranty. Unless you have very deep pockets
+Two Sheds Especially used ones.
Too expensive to take off road. Lots of nice bells and whistles, but an oil change is probably $300. What about just a tune up? LOL
+BeachBow If you could afford the $90k price, you wouldn't be worried about the oil changes. Tune ups? You know this is 2016, right?
So true, which is why I don't own one. And I missed out on the 1.6 Billion retirement fund! LOL
i love jeep, cheaper, get the job done, the price of range rover is BS
boktan bir test
it's not unique, there are thousands of them
+Bob Sacamano Millions in the UK, always breaking down...
+Peter I Well I've never seen a "broken down" one and I live within farting distance of a UK Main Dealer.
lol John,
I get your point, did you know Rolls Royce "never break down either!
For 50 years they've told customers to just pull over and await recovery - which incidentally was under cover while transported.
Im sure LR don't go to those measures.
I was merely speaking from experience of myself and 2 colleagues over the last 5 years.
I'm sure on average there maybe little difference.
TBH I'd rather push a LR or a Jeep than drive a KIA or Hyundai or Dacia for that matter! That's my own take on it anyway!
I like fake body parts too 😍
not worth it
Did anyone look up the jeep grand cherokee overland interior? Looks like sh*t next to the range rover.
What an embarrassingly inept video. Range Rover Sport vs Jeep; really? vs A Toyota??
+David Evans It's not a versus video. It's just a video about driving the Range Rover Sport with the Diesel engine. What else can you compare it to?
I say it like I see it this vehicle is trash and should not be sold to people
Light Surfer then u must be blind

+Dean Tuna You must be on your period.
Ya, fake hood louver on a 87 000$ suv... Would prefer a Grand Cherokee SRT8.
