- Richard takes the new Range Rover Sport out for a test drive - which includes a lot of mud, water and some very steep hills. It's then up to The Stig to test out the 'sport' part of the Range Rover's name.

95% of these will never see off road or a track
techstyle123 yeah, they will be just spart of London central
People know better in the middle east which is why Lexus, Toyota and Nissan dominate off road there.
techstyle123 buy a ugly Toyota then
99.9% actually...
98%
All that off-roading capability, and all that handling....and you just know most of them will be bought as urban fashion accessories by people who will never utilise either. Shame.
+soundseeker63 Yea... i agree with you there :) Those motors need to be used to full potential. That's what keeps them ticking along. The same with motorbikes an all... of which i'm a great fan too. I'd be a "Fast Show off Roader" :D Lol.
the same can be said about pretty much ANY high end cars, except maybe 911 GT3, whose owners actually take them to the track
soundseeker63, some 3rd world cities get flooded. So rich people in those cities can make use of the sonar.
Exactly, all luxury SUVs are a waste of money
that tree stump, probably did like 5 grand worth of damage, no ones going to spend so much money on a car to take it properly offroad. A light saunter across a grassy paddock or driving on the beach doesnt count as real offroading either.
The fact that Hamster did that massive climb in an RR with street tires shows off Land Rover's offroad prowess. "We're so confident our vehicles are perfect for offroading, pop the tires off your wife's Toyota Camry and onto your Range Rover, and you can still climb a near-vertical hill with it."
I'm shocked that it made it too!!
+yasir LOL (do I hear an echo.

Old comment, but... Did you notice the camera was tilted? The hill wasn't that steep. It was steep, yes, but not as much as we were led to believe. Also, Top Gear was a great entertainment show, but maybe not the most scientific or objective. If they wanted a Range Rover go up a steep hill on the show, they made it go up that hill no matter what it took. It's scripted entertainment after all.
Yep people don’t realise that the most important thing for off-roading is the tyres, and the fact that this can do it normal tyres is impressive
Stop video at 3:54 and look in the drivers mirror. What can you see?
stig
idk... what?
The stig lol
Ha ha ha. Editing mix up :)
Good observation
"Like driving a hotel room through a swamp" that must feel great
That's true
its like your lazy boy in a track car srs.

have you ever seen the power of the Range Rover Sport. This car is the best of the best, i believe its the best, just see for your self and tell me. Video about the its Power --> th-cam.com/video/xTN9G6IQTS0/w-d-xo.html

It's so true as well

Baby song
are u repeating wat hammond said?.
After 6 years this video has come back to my recommended.
Same
This car is literally worth every penny. 7 years later (2021/22) it looks even more aggressive 🔥🔥🔥
this car is literaly shite lmao
You forgot they are plagued with shit quality
@@osamayounis8229 just because of the reliability... thats all
@@CV-ct7vpwe've been lucky, hard off road use on all four of ours, including cross country road trips 24hr out 24hrs back, and all sorts of other trips and only one had a significant issue.
@@krismine99 what issue?
You either love them or not, but once you have owned one they are difficult to find anything that comes close. I love them
To me it's more like "you either love them or have owned one". I hate Dad's Freelander 2. I hate it so much that it makes me want to get a "Pryus"
@@piotrnapora5810 *Prius
its also hard to find something as unreliable as a newer range rover
@@piercemccauley7079 yeah my Range Rover is almost exactly like this one and it’s actually very reliable. Huge misconception
@@piercemccauley7079says a non owner only
Its off-road ability on normal road tyres is impressive enough, but for it to also be so luxurious *and* quick on-road is just incredible.
Firing Jeremy was the single worst decision BBC could've ever made.
He wasn’t fired, technically, they just didn’t renew his contract. It was touched on in the first episode of The Grand Tour.
jesus christ he's not even in this video, why don't you go find out where he lives and offer to blow him if you love him so much. the idiot deserved to get fired anyway
MenachemSchmuel o.k triggered much and my question is why? Are you triggered because he punched the producer, Piers Morgan or what he said that was a joke and it wasn’t directed towards you but your such a snowflake that you get annoyed for other people.
MenachemSchmuel lol yes he was an idiot but lol that’s why people watched top gear. It was the perfect mix of humor and knowledge and he was a key part of both the humor and knowledge. How many people watch top gear now ? Not many. Top gear and Jeremy Clarkson were sort of the perfect marriage. He and the other two were the perfect blend for the top gear platform. The current top gear crew tries very hard to bring that witty presence back but it’s not possible. It’s a shame clarkson got physical which is also wrong of him to do so hence him being fired or contract not renewed is justified but it goes without saying that Top gear and motoring shows in general won’t be the same again u til another legendary trio can come back with a better essence.
@@UtkarshSingh-ft7ph Of course Clarkson was perfect for Top Gear, even though May and Hammond were just as important parts. But that doesn't matter. You can't allow one of your employees to physically assault someone over cold food like a massive man child and keep him employed.
And the BBC has a £5 bn. budget - I wonder whether any of the 'BBC screwed up' people commenting on TH-cam realise how big of an organisation it is, and how little a single show, even one as successful as Top Gear, matters to them on the whole.
That was absolutely amazing. I was astounded by it's performance in both the terrain and the circuit. Richard Hammond's reaction to the Stig's lap..... hahahah. Whoever he is, he's bloody fearless.
I think it was Ben Collins
@@abhijithsenthilnathan9841 he left in 2010.
There is no car on the market which offers that level of luxury with that level of off road ability. Before anyone says jeep...that is not in the same league of luxury, sure its capable but not as luxury
The Mercedes G63 wagon mate ! ;)
Dominique Strauss Kahn I forgot about that :P
Youre joking? That go-fast wagon wouldnt do a quarter of the tricks the RR is capable of!
J Whyte The proper not blinged G-wagens are properly capable machines, have manual diff locks and all sorts on them
Dominique Strauss Kahn The G63 is the best SUV hands down, its a piece of true craftsmanship.
4 years later finally got my hands on this beast....the launch control is breath taking on this beast of a car
No Sport was offered with Launch Control.
@@jackshotton9222 lots of cars have it in hidden menus though. I had an a3 sport and that had it in a hidden menu. Range Rover could be the same
@@jameswallace7091 you only get Hill assist 🏔 launch 🚀 control
Land Rover is like the NASA of sporty SUVs! What a car!
Very capable off-road vehicle and looks drop-dead gorgeous while doing it.
"Feels like i am driving a luxury hotel room through a swamp " --- Gold
This is my DREAM SUV! I'd love to take it to the track and offroad!
650ib do it vs your h2
beautiful SUV but unfortunately has alot of issues according to reports not very reliable. I want one aswell but till they fix the issues i'm not buying one.
I own a white one red interior
then bloody do it
Rethink your dream vehicle
I wonder who's that guy in most episodes wearing a helmet und does incredible work with the vehicle he's driving.
Hats off to you man!
I believe his name was Ben Collins up until recently when he got fired for revealing his identity.
is this luxury car with offroad abilities? or is it offroad car with luxuries?
+Rami7605 both
Thanks for response. I never had seen a luxury car riding like that.
*****
Racism?
+Rami7605 lol he is the same old idiot
+Rami7605 It's an off-road car with luxuries. The Land Rover started out as a hardcore 4x4 and so that's that. The Range Rover is just an extremely comfortable and posh 4x4 off-roader.
Perfect vehicle for perfect journeys. The ultimate speed magnate. The Range Rover and Mercedes S Class are not just members of the world's best luxury cars, they are the ultimate life members of the world's best luxury cars.
Beauty of Mechanical engineering ❤️
2:46 love it
Top Gear was like a film... we were lucky to be alive at this time.
100%
I do love the interior of the new Ranger Rovers
I love this model. The bodywork, the shape. It's like a James Bond of cars world. Able to do climbing and marathon in a suit.
So basically It's a luxury car with off road capabilities that's very few people would actually use
That also breaks down a lot.
MrTLsnow see they fixed that, they've actually improved their durability
Ryan Ryan still useless though. Why have a luxury car with off road capabilities?
because people that need to go off road also want luxury?
Ryan Ryan don't believe you. My uncle's Evoque has been in the shops quite a bit. He's switching to Toyota. British cars look nice but they really suck.
Good for off-roading, great on the track, luxury interior, what else do you want?
Sad that people won't use it to its maximum potential :(
Yes
Seems like I'm part of a minority as I use mine for overlanding / offroading, but not rock climbing. 3 years, 55K km and no problems so far !
Coffee machine ?
This car is brilliant!
This RR is awesome! I was blown away by offroad classiness and using stock street tires to do all that? Damn
It gave me Goosebumps 🔥 loved it
I love my old 4runner but the fact that he did all that on freaking street tires is very impressive,
My 02 disco would go places in stock form and stock street tires that my lifted jeep with big tires couldn't even dream of trying....
Halo Reach music slightly altered. Nice touch.
What's the name of the song, do you know?
Ruiz Pictures Both the original airing of this episode and this video play a different part of "Long Night of Solace"
soufang In wich part of the video?
I am glad somebody else noticed this
If I had a Range Rover there is no way I would take that off road...
Well, I'm sure there are a lot of wealthy people that can afford several; however, I wouldn't do that with a Range Rover. It just seems wrong; that's a luxury vehicle.
It's a luxury vehicle, but it is still a Land Rover. You can do off road with it, it would take it nicely and you would get out of the mud with a smile in your face, a dirty ca but still intact car and knowing that a land rover is still a land rover.
Oh no doubt, but I'm just the type of person that thinks of a vehicle of that price range should be kept clean and driven on roads/tracks, rather than going off-roading with. But hey, if you're a millionaire/billionaire, buy multiple ones and go off-roading with them; I'm sure it's fun for sure. I myself just do not have the kind of money to do that, haha.
My dads Sport is constantly covered in mud! He's even thinking about ordering a Defender to use that off road instead!
Rich people... haha.
But what spec wheels and tyres were used on the 494 in this episode? Between the off road park and the race track were rims and tyres swapped?
What a character I wish this fella would do every car review . And as for the range rover obviously capable . Awesome vehicle.
That hill was extremely impressive
richard hammond is the best automotive presenter on planet.
his voice and style is the very best.
Nitin Kumar have you heard of Matt Watson from car wow ?
Wat about Jeremy
I wish they would still review cars like this. even if i don't like the cast, i would still watch new top gear only if they reviewed cars like this
One of my favourite segments of the show for some reason
that's actually impressive
"I think bit of wee came out" CLASSIC!!! LOL!!
I love how when a new model comes out reviewers criticise the older model. The thing is they didn't mention any of that when the older model was new and they were reviewing it.
All journalists raved about the older model right up to to point the new one came out.
That’s cos newer one has something the old one doesn’t..
it's a shame the trio had to go because the production quality and enjoyment was getting really good. i suppose theres always the grand tour.
when I was watching the part where richard was taking the Range Rover up that steep hill, I was like "there is no way that SUV can take that" but when he got to the top i was like "wow"
What's the point of testing it's off road capability when the only people who drive range rovers are mums on their way to pick up their kids from school? Never seen one with a speck of dirt on in my life.
Phillip Reynolds There is actuly people that use Range Rovers on the right way.
The same reason cars can travel at 200 mph. Or 85 inch 📺 or 50k watch ⌚i can go on and on. The point is called CHOICES. We don't need most things but it sure nice to have choices. You can tell alot about a person who complain about whats the point. So a great man once said STAY AWAY FROM NEGATIVE PEOPLE THEY HAVE A PROBLEM FOR EVERY SOLUTION.
Say this car is amazing in the artic when it is snowy in England you know you will be safe
a lot of people buy them when theyre 10 years old and use them for offroad :) and people like myself use them for offroad new from time to time
th-cam.com/video/M-EFuGewkqA/w-d-xo.html
Just bought a 2016 LR4, beautiful, no regrets cant wait to go to work in the morning!
how many time you stopped at a repair shop on your way to work? 😅
Luxurious off-road beast
If all that mud running was real then Im VERY surprised. I really didn't think a SUV with normal road tires would be able to go up a muddy hill or down safely. And the cross over of the bump was impressive that it didn't high side itself. remarkable. I'd take one if they want me to test i as a daily driver for a disabled husband and wife :)
The water sold it for me what an amazing machine!
Do they still do the sport with the v8 or is it just the svr? Don't know if I'm being stupid but I can't seem to configure it online.
6:00 Woah that's a nice sound from an SUV! very sports car-esque Man im likin the Range Rover sport!
This may be a crazy statement but... i believe the Range Rover Sport Autobiography is the best car on the planet. You can drive your kids to school, to work (in comfort), it sounds sexy as hell, performance of a sports car, and the car looks amazing. oh, and its the most proper off-roading suv along with the G63 AMG and toyota land cruiser. the G wagon is really cool but i get 7 mpg and the ride and handling is terrible. Range Rover Sport is a proper SUV
GIVE THIS MAN A COOKIE!!!!!!
no they are shit compared to a land cruiser
land cruisers are shit especially these new ones
I know this is late, but, Lamborghini Urus? :D
KevinYao, the previous model looked more butch though 😍
I’ve taken mine to MOAB in the US.
I got a lot of weird looks. 🤷🏼♀️
Wow. Its better than I expected
Amazing features 💥🔥🔥
I want to see the SVR tested in these situations
Damn cool , I'm loving this
Absolutely Stunning
Whoa!!!!! Wow!!! I knew of a Range Rover but THIS???? AMAZZZZING!!!
Best car show ever. All the others are frauds
Loads of German tech under the hood to build this wonderful vehicle. The power of German engineering is everywhere!
And from most other developed countries.
range rover's british
+Karan Goyal Of course it is. The sheet metal is, strictly speaking.
I've been watching this ad for 10 years and I won't hope so.❤
The best trio!
0:41 is my favourite part
Am I the only one who likes the 2010-2013 models more than the new ones?
***** I actually like the 2010-2013, the ones with the Jaguar 5.0 V8 and the newer interior, but I agree with you on that, I actually just sold my 2006 Sport.. with 200k miles.. Still going strong I imagine!
+MI6 going to see a 2006 sport with 149,000kms tomorrow haha, hopefully its going strong as well
Gxd Culture I just sold mine.. is it blue with light interior? haha that would be strange. Watch out, the older ones are kinda unreliable at times, at least mine was. I took great care of it also.
MI6
im in new zealand so i doubt it haha, its blacked out with black interior
Gxd Culture Eh not a fan of all black at all. Must still look nice! Good luck on the purchase.
It does everything. . Very well. On road. And off
this is the video that made this my dream car
This is the best SUV I have ever seen Im in love with it
that's because you haven't owned it. there's a good reason land rover is currently the worst rated manufacturer in the world in costumer satisfaction.
What year is this? Show/car?
Hello from botswana. May u review range rover sport svr and carbon edition. please
Wow.. Your test drive is wonderfull
One thing I don't understand with Range Rover is they are sold with low profile road tires? Imagine how much better it would have been if it had proper 4WD tires.
It would be fantastic off road, but then it'll compromise the on road road performance that this car delivers.
pbsmick The Range Rover Sport have profile tires becouse its a sport car... did you get it? A normal full size range rover have normal mist use tires and have a option of full off road tires.
That engine sounds immense.
Absolutely the Best 4x4 still . In my opinion nothing comes close !
I definitely think that one is way better than the old one
5:32 his god damn face XD
Somebody screenshot it and make it a meme!

done
sonyviva308 Great thought. Hammond's reputation is at risk. lol
*When the Range Rover hasn't broken down yet*
I know lol
Range Rover King of the SUV's 51 year's old and still going strong.
May I know the tires you used for that drive?
That mini jcw is epic
Europeans have the Range Rover and us Americans have...Hummer.
*throws mouse on the floor and slowly lowers head onto desk
SirJamesDTech and us Aussies have the Mitsubishi triton. And the Toyota Land Cruiser
Hummer doesn't have powerful engine
offline gamer who told Hummer doesn't have a powerful engine
Sorry Dude Indian's Own's Range Rover So. Indian have Range Rover 😎
Now this time Jaguar and range rover are indian company.... Correct your knowledge.....
Just start worrying when you feel the water coming in lol
i love this model even 2018 launched
MAGNIFICENT PERFORMANCE
Wat a drive..and Wat a car , Everything was just awesome
Except the repair bills
THIS IS MY DREAM CAR
WOW that sonar is wild
That was honestly very impressive.
Props to that hill climb , that’s insane with what type of tires he has on that range rover.
while it wasn't shallow, there's a TON of camerawork that goes into making it a LOT steeper than it is. trees do not grow slanted on the hillside.
2:10 The music is something that arouses mystery or intrigue.
The order of the corners shown at Donington was completely wrong. They started the lap, showed Redgate, then Coppice, then Hollywood, then McLeans, then the second Craner Curve, then exiting the Old Hairpin, then taking the Old Hairpin.
I have Tata safari car
And I always having many off-road trips and its have some less digital technics but its perfect on the off-road
2:55 typical hammond
1:46 wow
I miss my Rover Sport they truly are something else
That’s why I brought one
Mines in black
We might be getting one of those
+Diamond_Coop Reilly Good luck :)
cool
This is how u test SUV's, not like in 90% of TV reviews- in puddle that is till the ankle..
What about the 2012 tange rover sport 3000 sdv6 ? What do you think
good drive and good driver
