Land Rover Range Rover (2013 - 2021) SVAutobiography Dynamic 5.0 V8 Supercharged auto (10/2017 on) 4d Owner Review

This is an expensive car to buy and an expensive car to run. I average 16mpg unless I am extremely light footed... But the joy of this car is putting your foot down. The pleasure from the growl of the engine easily outweighs the better economy (and silence) of a PHEV. To accelerate this fast in this much comfort just makes me smile every time. The seats are superbly comfortable, endlessly adjustable, with heating or cooling, and massage. For a car this size there is not a huge amount of room in the back seats. It's laughable to call it a 5 seat as anyone older than seven would struggle in the centre rear 'seats'.. its not a proper seat atall.. I usually keep the centre console down. But it is useful to be able to fit a 5th person in if needed, albeit in some discomfort. The boot is spacious. I love a gadget and this car is full of them, many of which I will never use, of course. The safety features are great tho... I might even use the Park Assist one day; so far pride in my own ability to reverse and parallel park has prevented me! But the emergency braking and other such features are very good. The screen and controls I am not that keen on. Mercedes computer screen for example, is much more straightforward. I do have to fiddle around a lot, tapping from screen to screen. Off road this car is amazing... but at this price I am a bit reluctant to push it to its limits over rocks and mud! To sum up, if you can afford it, this is a car that will give you immense pleasure every time you drive it... I don't regret buying it for a moment. Don't expect great service from Land Rover even when you have spent £100k plus tho!
