Looks Great But Doesn’t Work Great

I custom ordered a 2018 Range Rover Sport Supercharged Dynamic V8 in February 2018 and took delivery in late May of 2018. The vehicle looks awesome both inside and out. I test drove the V6 which was pretty unimpressive so I got the V8. Tons of power, fast and the exhaust sounds great. Now for the negatives. Nothing but problems with the electronics and infotainment system. Back-up camera did not work consistently. Visibility when backing up is limited using the mirrors so the camera is pretty much a necessity. It’s very nerve racking backing this thing up when the rear camera doesn’t work. One night the vehicle just would not start for about 20 minutes. A couple of times the Air Conditioner randomly decided to turn itself off. 3G WiFi frequently doesn’t turn on after starting the vehicle. I complained to the dealer and they had me bring it in for repair. They did a software update to the system to address the problems. After the update the back-up camera works most of the time - but still occasionally won’t turn on when I put the vehicle in reverse. After the update some new problems appeared that were not present prior to the update. The interior ambient lighting resets to the highest setting after the ignition is turned off - and sometimes the vehicle will randomly change my color selection to the white light setting. Radio presets on the lower touchscreen also developed a problem where they would appear for about a second and then disappear before I can use them. Other one off random glitches occur every couple of days. I contacted the dealer regarding the new problems and I was told there is currently no fix for them. Some sort of corrupt software problem that they are trying to sort out. The dealer put me on a list with other people having problems and will call when a new software update is available. Everyday is a new adventure in problems and glitches with the electronics. Do a quick search on the internet for 2018 Range Rover Sport Problems and it won’t take you long to see what I am talking about. It’s unbelievable that any brand new car could be sold with so many defects, let alone one in this price range. If I knew then what I know now, I would have bought another Mercedes or BMW. So bottom line, if you really want the vehicle doe to it’s awesome looks and performance, just be prepared to live with some glitchy electronics problems that Land Rover doesn’t know how to fix.

Just purchased a brand new 2019 Range Rover sport and the car has had a complete electrical/ system failure. Tried to start the car and nothing works. We had the car towed and the dealer has no solution except to wait until corporate engineering finds a solution. The car has been at the dealer for a while now and others have been affected for over a month with no solution or fix on the horizon. From what we have learned this seems to be a much larger issue.

Drives Fantastic, Technology Awful

The Range Rover Sport is looks great, drives great, but the new technology is awful! I specifically waited for the 2019 model with the new touchscreen technology throughout, and this vehicle was delivered in May of 2018. It is clear that this tech had not been thoroughly tested. It is slow and VERY buggy. Some screens take a long time to come up and other times the screens are completely blank. I sent to dealer to update to the lasted version, and not much has changed since that update. My prior vehicle was a Tesla, which occasionally had to reboot, but otherwise worked seamlessly. The interior technology and the accompanying mobile apps are so bad, that it almost outweighs how great this car drives.

I would like to describe my experience with my "2018 Range Rover supercharge" that I special ordered from this dealership (Land Rover Houston, North). I finally got the car in March after much delay. Since then the car has been in the shop total of 6 times. Yes 6 times!! By the way this is my 6th Rover and I know the brand well. But there is definitely something wrong with this year model. As they have described it like this: "there is a ghost in this car"! The car has been at the dealer total of 2 months while they put me in one of their fancy Discovery loaners. Meanwhile I have made multiple car payments. Range Rover (Land Rover Houston, North) puts 50 miles on my car each way. They have driven my new car more than I have! The service department (Land Rover Houston, North) has been cooperative (Jason Baisden - Service Manager) but the issues have continued to happen. We discussed a "buy-back" option but the area Land Rover USA representative has refused and is now asking me to bring the car back AGAIN for another software update coming out soon. This is a disaster for the brand which I have defended for years. I strongly suggest to take your $129,000 and buy something else. It is a shame that Range Rover (Land Rover Houston, North) has decided to continue to keep me in this car which is a bundle of electronic disaster. NEVER again I would deal with this product or this dealership (Land Rover Houston, North) if they refuse to buy this car back. Gorgeous car with bunch of bugs!! They are about to open another Dealership in West Houston and I will make sure we pass the word to all friends to avoid the car!! My next step is a legal action and applying the Texas Lemon Law to my car. This manufacturer has failed to deliver a promise you make to the customer when selling a car. This car is a driving hazard!! Update! The dealer agreed to buy my car back and I ordered me a 2019 version of the same car which arrived December of 2018. As of this writing in March the new car has only been in the shop once due to factory recall which they took care of it in one day. This car is my 8th RR and am very happy with it. Can't wait to see the next one.

Bought a brand new Range Rover Sport V8 Supercharged. While test driving the vehicle, BEFORE purchase, the center console went out. I should have taken that as a sign how problematic this vehicle was. Went ahead with the purchase. Now, every 2 days, the center console goes out. To correct it, I have to park the car, shut the engine completely off, and restart the car. The center console is where you control the climate as well as the vehicle's driving characteristics (Eco, Dynamic, 4x4, etc.). When it's out, you cannot control any of these features! I went back to the dealer for a software update but that didn't fix the issue. Now, a new problem has come up where the car no longer detects the keyfob. You can imagine how nerve wracking it was when this issue came up as I wasn't sure if the vehicle would start if I shut the engine off to correct the problem! I am taking it back to the dealer this week and will be provided a loaner. No commitments from the dealer when the issue will be fixed. This is a 2-week old, brand new $100k car. Take your hard-earned money elsewhere. Update: 10/03/18 Another trip to the dealer. Another software update. Same issue. As I drove home after picking up the vehicle from the Service dept, center console goes out again. In the 3 weeks since I purchased this vehicle, I’ve driven it 2 weeks and it’s spent 1 week at the dealership for repairs. No less than 4 trips back for Service due to center console and keyfob not working. Update: 10/10/18 The vehicle has been with the dealership now about 5 days, since dropping it off 10/05. The update is their technicians are working on identifying the problem. Note that when I dropped the car off on 10/05, there were two other customers, one with a new Velar and another with a new Range Rover Sport having the very same center console issue. This is a widespread problem. Buyer beware. Update: 04/10/19 After numerous trips to the dealership and multiple software updates, Land Rover finally swapped out the center console. I am glad to say that the problem has gone away! While their service is fantastic every time I went into the dealership, I am extremely disappointed that they didn't arrive at the solution faster. In my first 3 months of ownership of this *brand new* $100k vehicle, it spent more time in the shop getting diagnosed for this widely-known problem (please do look up the center console issue online). It has completely left a bad taste in my mouth. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that issues with the vehicle will be far in between. Time will tell. Update: 10/11/20 After the center console swap, happy to report that I haven't had any issues with my RRS. Drives like a dream. Loving how the supercharged engine growls when I give its some gas. Updated my review from a 2-star to a 3-star. Here's to hoping for long term satisfaction on this car!

Junk Rover 2018 Range Rover sport

Received order mid May 2018. Had electronics issues day one. Within first 24 hours parts started to fall off the vehicle. Engine issues with warning lights started within a few days of receiving the vehicle. Had 19 return trips for ongoing issues. Trailer package never worked. Park assist never worked. Camera system failed while at the dealer. Touchscreen would not accept touch input. Cruise control had total failure on the interstate with engine shut down. Engine failed on return trip to dealer. In 4 months of ownership the dealer had the vehicle for over 3 months. The engine and cabin were repeatedly torn apart to change out parts and boxes. Land Rover engineers repeatedly played with software so one time the vehicle was not in English. All the increasing electronic issues resulted in the dash being torn apart so many times that you could not open the glove compartment. Filled “lemon law” under state statutes and finally Land Rover USA had to refund my money. My parting comment is that the vehicle looks great but in my experience it is JUNK. I personally would avoid Land Rover products. I had to wait 5 months from time of ordering to receive my junk. I ordered all the options in the Diesel engine and option packages all for one month of intermittent possession and 3 months at the dealer before got a refund.

I bought a 2018 Range Rover Sport several months ago. 24 hours after my purchase while on a family trip, I started experiencing software issues. The infotainment system has been a consistent issue. The answer was to do a software update at the dealership once I returned. The local dealership has been very nice and supportive applying these updates now monthly, but now we have given up. Since these updates would correct the problem for about 24 hours, it was not worth the time or effort. It is a product issue. My issues are now daily and extremely frustrating. The dealership helped me as much as they could and had to refer me to their Customer Support folks out of NJ. I hope you NEVER have to interact with the team out of NJ. The Range Rover team out of NJ are the worst support team that I have ever experienced. My assigned representative denied further assisting me and basically stated by email that I need to wait for a new update to resolve my issue. There is no ETA on this issue being resolved. No call back to discuss this over the phone. I had multiple emails and calls into my rep. trying to further discuss my issues. I reached another representative, then no return call for additional assistance. Again, calling and finally reaching someone who escalated my case with a promise of a return call within 5 hours. Well, again no return call. Calling again, I reached someone who did help me and a person who did call me back. Basically, they are review my case and it will take at least 30 days. So, I continue paying for a luxury car that is not working as advertised and share negative press. I work full time, have a family and don't have time for these issues. I have been very patient and nice, but extremely frustrated and now sharing this experience with other's PRIOR to their purchase or support other's out there with the same situation. This is a widespread issue. Buyers beware. (I bought my car the middle of August 2018 - it is now the middle of January 2019. Still no resolution!

I purchased a 2018 Range Rover Sport Supercharged Dynamic for my wife. It's an expensive SUV at over $100k. We've had Mercedes, BMW, etc... in the past. We got our vehicle the end of February 2018 and it had technology issues from the beginning. Back-up camera was a consistent issue as well as other software related glitches. The car always started and ran great but the technology/software issues were a nightmare. I tried to get the car replaced but was told no by Land Rover USA so the car was at the dealer at least 8 times for software updates ect… I got the name of a Lemon Law attorney from counsel for my company and shared with my dealer that if the next software update didn't fix it I was calling the Lemon Law firm. They knew the name and we just got our new vehicle. The new one seems to be functioning as it should with the issues we were dealing with on the first one apparently resolved. One nice thing is the new once had about $2500 of additional options that we got for free with the exchange. Also the warranty and any packages purchased (wheel/tire protection, prepaid maintenance etc..) start new from the new delivery date so it's like you just purchased a new vehicle. The first months were a pain in the $*% but now that we have one that functions as it should we're happy with the vehicle and love the power of the supercharged V8 and other Range Rover touches in and out of the vehicle. Just make sure you get one that was manufactured after July of 2018. Good Luck!

I bought this car in March of 2019. I really loved the look and was excited about having a luxury vehicle for the first time. This car almost cost my daughter and I our life. Within months of owning the vehicle this car stopped without any warning in the middle of a five lane highway. The car completely locked up. I couldn’t even shift the gears. Cars were speeding up on us and my daughter was screaming from the back. I called 911, but it took the police a half hour to arrive because of the holiday traffic. Once they arrived, it took two tow trucks over two hours to figure out how to unlock the wheels to put it up on the bed. I filed a claim with corporate. The advisor James Rochester said they would review the case and get back with me within 30 days. Almost 60 days later he sends me a letter stating that they were sorry about the inconvenience, but because they fixed it they are denying my claim. It took them two weeks to fix the engine failure and they added 50 miles to the car to make sure it was ok. My car has a warranty and The added mileage was on me. He stated it would have to be a repeat incident and possibly they would reopen my case. They did NOTHING!!! Not even a Reimbursement for the two weeks or the mileage. A repeat case??? I also found out that the engine failure was a recall one month before the purchase of my vehicle. I was never notified!!! I do not recommend ever purchasing a car from Range Rover.
Buyer beware! We filed and won lemon law

Has spent more time In service than our garage. Even friends and neighbors have running joke about how many loaner cars we’ve had. Little to no support from Range Rover corporate. However, dealership has been great. Had many Lexus’s without ever an issue. I’m beyond disgusted and disappointed by the engineering of this vehicle.

This is an updated review after 6 months of owning 2019 Supercharged model. I am still very satisfied with the performance of the V8 engine, the comfort and looks of the car as well. No mechanical issues at all. Had a flat tire and it was nice to have a full-size spare with matching rim in the car. Unfortunately, things I am not satisfied with are several. - Inappropriate low-profile tires in this capable off-road SUV. It defeats the purpose. - The large panoramic moon-roof allows in too much heat, even after installing window tint on it. - Back up camera: low resolution and most likely wireless connection as it breaks up. The camera itself is mounted off center to the side of the license plate which distorts the dimensions when trying to back up. - The SIM card never worked. AT&T did not even recognize the car VIN number. - The car does not save my settings, simple things like A/C temperature, Wi-Fi password, or last audio channel I used. - The car does not have CD player. Trying to play music from USB stick does not work well as system will always restart in FM next time, and when going back to USB it will always start from song number 1 and will never recall where it left. - Rear entertainment system: this is subscription service over AT&T. No actual DVD tray. Connecting external DVD player to HDMI port did not work well. Very disappointed children. - Navigation system: Hard to zoom in and zoom out in as it is completely touch screen. The map graphics are not the best. The navigation screen is wide but too short (about 3-4 inches) only showing a small stretch of the road ahead of you. The font on the map is too small. - Auto start-stop function would have saved some gas if it would last more than 10-20 seconds with the engine off. Apparently the battery is not sufficient to power everything and the car restarts itself very shortly after a stop on a traffic light.

I've owned over 30 cars over the years....all kinds. Over the past 15 years, I prefer to lease my vehicles and then purchase if I like it and has been major problem free. I leased this vehicle in July 2018 and now have almost 19k. The car has been fantastic. Has only been to dealer once at 15k for oil change and software update. Have never had any of the issues mentioned here.....vehicle has been totally problem free. Power, ride, handling, features, sound of the V8, and look of the vehicle is simply a standout on the road among all the Audis and BMWs. Assuming no upcoming issues, I'll be buying at lease end. Update December 2021. Bought the car at lease end and two months later (Oct) had a water leak and had a water pump failure. Car had to be towed to dealer and replaced pump.....under warranty. Also got oil change and had to replace tires recently at 30k miles. Still rate fantastic vehicle. UPDATE: I don't see a link to update my original review (updated in 2021) so doing another review. Vehicle is 7 years old now and since the water pump issue, no problems. replaced the battery a couple months ago and just replaced the tires. Just turned 50k miles and vehicle still runs and looks like new. No mechanical/electronic issues. Hopefully will keep for another 50k as there's no other vehicle out there that can compare.....unless I want to spend another $100k.

Bought a 2019 Range Rover Sport V8 Supercharged back in august of 2019. First few months everything was pretty good besides a sunroof rattle from the day we picked the car up. Around January 2020 everything went downhill from there. “Sport” badge painted in black on the tailgate began flaking off. Sunroof rattle was fixed by replacing sunroof rails. A clicking noise on the outside of the car when turning the wheel at low speeds was fixed by needing a new upper control arm (about 15k kilometres on the car). The screens in the car have gone black while driving and the reverse camera has stopped working with it also being stuck frozen on the screen after multiple restarts of the car. Have had suspension and other related warning faults (collision warning unavailable, suspension fault drive carefully, reduced traction). The sunshade feature where you wave your hand to open it stopped working and the sensor needed to be replaced. One soft close door motor stopped working and needed to be replaced. For about 6 months now have been dealing with a buzzing/ rattling noise coming from the trunk area which it has gone to the dealer now 3 times for. The first time we were told it needed a new exhaust muffler on the passenger side. They ordered it from the UK and when it came in they installed it but did not install the muffler correctly so it was bouncing around over bumps (muffler was loose) and drove back to the dealer to get it fixed. The dealer and technician who released the car obviously didn’t car because that’s a safety issue where the muffle could have fallen off since the wrong clamp was installed. Buzzing/rattling noise came back and now are told it needs a new catalytic converter which it currently being ordered from the UK. The check engine light came on around 22k kilometres which was caused by a faulty O2 sensor. The rear passenger seatbelt latch broke and seatbelt would no longer latch which is a very concerning safety issue. At the same time this passenger seat motor fan for the heated and cooling seats was jammed and stopped working. The brake pedal inside makes an awful groaning noise when applied and clicks when applying sudden pressure so the brake pedal actuator was replaced but the issues still persist. Other issues that have not been addressed are some rattles upon status when engine is idling high inside the cabin as well as very annoying engine vibrations around 1200rpm which can be felt throughout the cabin. Not sure if it’s the transmission but at low speeds and especially in traffic when easing on and off the gas there can be many times a sudden jolt and thumb under the car almost as if there’s a disconnect in the drivetrain which can be very abrupt at times. Keep in mind the car is only a year and a bit old with 23k kilometres to date. For a 120k dollar vehicle it looks great, the interior looks very nice but frustrating and constant issues is very annoying. Can’t wait to give the car back in thank god it is a lease. Won’t be returning to the brand since we have never had so many issues with a vehicle that is only over a year old. The quality of the vehicle is a piece of crap and also the dealers service has been garbage. Have had better quality and service from much cheaper cars like a Nissan Altima. Definitely not worth the money to spend on such an expensive vehicle that spends most of its time at the dealer. Better off getting a simpler and cheaper vehicle.

This is my third RR Sport and the one with the most problems. Within days of leaving the dealership there with issues with the infotainment center - cameras not working, radio, phone, ambient lighting all intermittently failing. The dealership said this was the first time they had seen this happen - based on other reviews this must not be true - but the blame was put on my iphone. The car software was updated from v2 to v4 - again not sure why the sell a new 2019 model with old software - which has fixed some of the issues but gremlins still creep in without warning with the system shutting down randomly. To me not being able to use my phone hands free could be a safety issue as is not having the backup camera functioning when needed. I'm also worried about the reliability of the features like adaptive cruise control. The dealership did tell me all new products like computers or software go through a phase like this and should be expected. My computer didn't cost $83,000 so my expectations are much higher and this seems to be a problem that isn't new. I would avoid the RR Sport until they sort these issues out.

I love the comfort and ride. I have had absolutely no issues with electronic screens or camera, though I understand that updates were made. I'm not towing or driving off road but I am impressed with the fit and finish, comfort, trying, technology and ride. The supercharged 6 provides plenty of power and torque. UPDATE....The automatic engine shut off when you come to a stop is a major annoyance and you can only disengage it for the current ride, not permanently. The park assist feature is not near as good the technology on most every other brand of car, it is very basic and ineffective technology. The process of changing the various dash screens is not at all intuitive and forget trying to update the home screen. Clearly wish there was a click in the dash, as the small font digital time reading on the screen is not easily seen.

I wanted to wait before I could write a review. I feel comfortable now to say that this $90,000 vehicle is the most UNRELIABLE car you can purchase. Unfortunately, I went for looks since the vehicle looks awesome but the electronics and software of it feels like it has not yet been perfected. I’ve had issues since the day I pulled it out of the dealership’s driveway. I should have known that I had bought a huge expensive problematic vehicle. First problem a computer problem where the keys would not respond to lock/unlock doors. This took an extensive 12 day at the shop to figure what was causing the problem. Second problem, after only a little over 1,000 miles the water pump broke and that was another 10 days + of wait for parts to arrive since parts come from Great Britain. No parts in the US but yet car is sold here. Third visit to the shop was for a regular service call but when i thought car was ready, the engine light was lit. Another few days passed before I was able to take it home. Fourth visit, a water leak inside vehicle (driver’s side and seat behind driver) drenched in water and also a service was due. . Again, vehicle was kept in the shop for over a week and loaners are never available. After Paying over $1000 in service, leak was fixed which I was told it was an air conditioning fault. Took the car home and after short of a week an engine light comes on and the passenger’s A/C is blowing hot air. Unfortunately, there is no words to describe how unhappy and disappointed I am to own this EXPENSIVE JUNK of a car. I know I will not be keeping this miserable car for very long. A big piece of advice to anyone who might be contemplating the idea of purchasing one, TAKE YOUR MONEY SOMEWHERE ELSE.

I smile every time I get in this car. This is my 2nd RRS(previous was a 2008). So glad I waited for this refresh year. The exterior is stunning. The interior and infotainment is the biggest upgrade to me. Yes, the new touch pro duo isn’t perfect. But to me, it’s one of the best in class. My issues are minor. An occasional glitch on the screen or a lost connection with my iPod touch. Most of this will be resolved with the latest software update. Which will also add Apple car play! I went with the V6 HSE Dynamic this time. I thought I would really miss the V8. Surprisingly, there is not much difference out on the road. Especially in Dynamic mode. I do want the growl from the exhaust. So next time, I will break down and get the V8. As with any luxury car, you get what you pay for. Parts are expensive as the car ages. But you should know and expect this. For the cars I considered (Audi Q7, BMW X5 or X6, Porsche Macaan), this one checked all the boxes for what I wanted. Appearance Style Drive comfort Upgraded technology It’s a joy to drive.

For the price that is paid, one would expect monitor interface that does not lag, a back up camera that does not black out, a basic features such as an easy entry option for seats and steering wheel. Instead, the opposite is found with the Range Rover Sport. In addition, the car name "Sport" is misleading. Pressing on the gas, one feel no power despite the gas wasting turbocharger. If your interested in useless widgets and add-ons then look no further.

I wanted to wait before I could write a review. I feel comfortable now to say that this $90,000 vehicle is the most UNRELIABLE car you can purchase. Unfortunately, I went for looks since the vehicle looks awesome but the electronics and software of it feels like it has not yet been perfected. I’ve had issues since the day I pulled it out of the dealership’s driveway. I should have known that I had bought a huge expensive problematic vehicle. First problem a computer problem where the keys would not respond to lock/unlock doors. This took an extensive 12 day at the shop to figure what was causing the problem. Second problem, after only a little over 1,000 miles the water pump broke and that was another 10 days + of wait for parts to arrive since parts come from Great Britain. No parts in the US but yet car is sold here. Third visit to the shop was for a regular service call but when i thought car was ready, the engine light was lit. Another few days passed before I was able to take it home. Fourth visit, a water leak inside vehicle (driver’s side and seat behind driver) drenched in water and also a service was due. . Again, vehicle was kept in the shop for over a week and loaners are never available. After Paying over $1000 in service, leak was fixed which I was told it was an air conditioning fault. Took the car home and after short of a week an engine light comes on and the passenger’s A/C is blowing hot air. Unfortunately, there is no words to describe how unhappy and disappointed I am to own this EXPENSIVE JUNK of a car. I know I will not be keeping this miserable car for very long. A big piece of advice to anyone who might be contemplating the idea of purchasing one, TAKE YOUR MONEY SOMEWHERE ELSE.
2019 Range Rover sport.

Worst car I have ever (leased). Would not buy or lease another. Feel stuck. Cameras don’t work properly. Computer is very much a distraction. Don’t buy.

Without warning this LandRover died on a four lane commercial street. The vehicle gave no WARNING that it would come to a dead stop, regardless of Instinctively attempting to pump on the gas pedal. We could have been seriously injured or killed. Our vehicle was going 40mph when we lost complete power. We were able to turn into a commercial shopping area - that’s called pure luck! Owners be aware this is a problem LandRover America is struggling with. They need to immediately Recall the 2018’s & 19’s models. I requested after we brought the car into Service & had the vehicle repaired according to the manufacturer instructions, LandRover issue a guarantee that they solved this throttle problem- they Refused! Even though we could have died because of loss of power LandRover placed the issue with the Dealer. The Dealer fixed the vehicle according to Manufacturers instructions & it’s the Dealer according to LandRover that holds the liability. This is nonsensical. Just like Audi who had a sudden acceleration problem years ago, LandRover better take notice that they Hold the Liability-they are the responsible party for this defect.

I love this car. I purchased the V8 supercharged dynamic. The coach work is impressive, as the interior is inviting and sporty. The driving characteristics of the car especially in the dynamic mode allows you to have a sports car while driving an SUV. I really enjoy the sound from the Meridian system. It makes you want to listen to most of your music loud. I love the Apple CarPlay feature as it allows me to use all of my Apple features hands-free. The heft and the solid feel of the car makes you wonder is built from the solid block of billet aluminum. I find not much to be offended by, I drove all of the new SUVs before buying this one and I have disappointments. It has a ton of eyeball and the sound to go with it. Looking back I would’ve opted for a few more features, but this one is nicely equipped. My previous rover was the V6 with the supercharger and there is no comparison. I also had a Porsche Cayenne diesel which I loved as well. I thought about the diesel motor again for the Rover, but I wanted the sports car feel of the dynamic V-8.

Purchase off showroom floor. Leaking oil took them over 60 days to figure out the problem. Policy is if in shop for over 30 days they will replace. Didn’t happen from local dealership to Corporate. Don’t buy

This is probably the BEST SUV on the planet. It mixes luxury, capability with technology. If you are not technologically savvy and have difficulty learning new technology - this may not be the car for you. If you catch on quickly you will be able to make full use of the technology and understand how it can help you improve your driving experience and safety.

I assume all 2019 vehicles come with a shut off when idling . If they didn't have the option to shut it off that would be awful. I suggest anyone purchasing this vehicle get a Super Charge or a larger engine. (if available) It has no pick up and difficult to get onto highway . Once rolling you get a wonderful ride. We live in a busy Suburb with a decent amount of traffic. Great Highway vehicle and I guess rough terrain. However, my Wife seems to like it. We're both Seniors and still trying to figure the technology out . The dealer was nice and invited us back for another tutorial .

This SUV is great in every aspect. Electronics could be a bit quirky but I'm not losing sleep over it; they sufficiently provide the functions needed consistently enough that if exceptionally something fails I'm not upset at the world. Lots of luxury, utility, technology and plenty of power. Having said that, (i couldn't stress this enough) KNOW what you're buying, test drive it before buying. If you hear people complain is either a) lemon b) their sheer inability to understand options, failing to test drive or going for the base model to save money... (Facepalm)

I ordered a 2018 Range Rover Sport V8 Supercharged with all the bells and whistles. This has been the biggest vehicular disappointment of my life. The car has been in the shop over and over and over. The majority of the issues center around the infotainment system and electrical issue. The car has stopped recognizing the key. Interior lights come on out of the blue. The bluetooth connection is very faulty and will often freeze. You can not simply plug a phone in via USB to charge without it disconnecting the bluetooth. The control touch screens have burned out. Computer controls via the steering wheel have tons of glitches E.g, up goes down, right goes left etc. The reverse camera intermittently fails to come up on the screen. The tires lose pressure. It is routinely low on coolant. We also had a total loss of power steering, rendering it un-drivable within the first 10 days of owning the vehicle. If you are considering buying a Range Rover. I would strongly caution against it. A family member had a Range Rover full size and had a similar experience. Unfortunately, it is the best looking vehicle in the category. If I could do it over, I would go with Mercedes, Porsche or Audi

It’s basically the best SUV period always will be and there is litterally no reason to ever think otherwise. The only actual competitor the Range Rover has is the G63 AMG, and that’s really for those who just want to try something different because they have owned multiple Range Rovers in the past or want second SUV. Even when compared to high end Rolls Royce, Bentley, and Lamborghini options. None ever come close to what a Range Rover offers as an entire package, IF YOU HAVE THE V8 SUPERCHARGED/AUTOBIOGRAPHY/SVR. The only issue which technically is a positive for some, ALL Range Rover Sports look alike. The upper models base price are 87,000 for supercharged and 97,000 for Autobiography/ SVR starts at 113,000 (estimated for 2019 models I’m not 100% sure off the top of my head exactly) ALL but the SVR when you compared it to the cheap HSE model look IDENTICAL, I MEAN IDENTICAL. I can easily pick apart difference in all porsche generations and models, and these ranges are completely the same. I’m 32 and my second car as a family car spending 104,567 msrp I really would have preferred to stand out from the generic HSE for 70k. Although to be fair that’s more of a personal vain issue. While it is a massive personal annoyance, I appreciate the fact I fly under the radar completely. Because 94% of Range Rover Sports in the DMV area (dc Maryland Virginia) are HSE. 4.5% are Supercharged 1% are autobiographies and .5% are SVR’s The HSE model are for people who want to say they have a Range Rover and not much else. Options for that engine size is also limited. For Example, you WILL NOT be able to get 22 positions seats with Massage unless you’re spec’ing an Autobiography. 6 cylinder for a car with curb weight wel into 5,300 pound range AND qualifies for over 6,000 pounds gross vehicle weight being powered by 6 cylinder 300ish HP, just get out and push you’ll go faster, the worst part is you can’t even bring the luxury level up to anything acceptable at that price point. So in summary, if you buy the HSE, you will get a average product that everyone who understands knows you’re just a poser who can’t afford a “Real Range Rover Sport” aka the V8 versions. Because with 517+ HP and a 0-60 time of 5.1 seconds ( that’s faster than a 996 porsche Carrera) or 4.3 with the SVR ( faster than my 2013 E92 M3 with DCT) PLUS the luxury PLUS the world class off roading. It’s not a choice it’s a no brainer. Lambo suv will be faster but less comfortable for all passengers and worse off roading performance and probably less comfortable seats. Bentley will be way worse off-road, marginal upgrade in comfort at best most likely no difference just style, better performance and way worse styling. Rolls Royce is just No! It’s really just an oversized phantom. G36 Amg is 167 (with options) shorter no air suspension more road noise and equal or better off road. So if you have, as near as makes no difference 100k to spend on an SUV buy a Range Rover Sport 2019. Yes there is some lag with the infotainment (but it always ends up working) but reliability is much better than expected from multiple stories of people owning older Rovers (2016). The Range Rover Sport and full-size is simply the greatest SUV ever created by man in the history of man. While all other car makers try and replicate it and come up short

Needed to replace another vehicle so I made a quick decision. I have had the vehicle in and out of the shop in two years over 12 times. Major problems are with the Infotainment System, Phone System, and tied to the HVAC systems. Worst decision of my life!
