Hello everyone. I am completely green on LR / RR so educate me please. Looking to replace our MB ML350 and love the RR Sport design, but frankly dont know a whole lot about these cars. Have always heard about reliability issues with LR but not sure how true they hold today. I have some questions:

1) Any feedback on the Diesel model
2) When was the current body style introduced (not mid-cycle refresh)? How long is the typical RR body style cycle?
3) What are some must have options, and some not so needed ones?
4) How is the long-term reliability on these RRs versus say and ML or X5? We tend to keep our cars for a long time (~8 years)
5) Any other things to consider?

Thanks in advance and hoping to learn a lot here

 

We have 2016 Range Rover sport diesel. We love it!!!! Tons of torque. Was looking at supercharged ones then saw the diesel. Changed mind and got the diesel. Quiet fun to drive plus getting 30 mpg on highway going fast too.

 

Not really an answer to your question but we had a '12 ML350 BlueTec. I now have a '16 GLE350 w/ the gas engine. I miss the diesel each and every day. Keeping your cars that long, if you can keep the MB going, you should have no problem keeping a RR going. IThe reliability reputation goes w/ the older vehicles, I would say moreso the ones the ones w/ the Lucas electronics. Every car has it's known problem issues. I'm new to LR as well but I have 2 highly recommended specialist nearby and I got my truck from one of them that just went through it.

Bottom line, go for it!

 

Great to know! I am sold on the Diesels and love the torque. Any thoughts on the other questions, especially with regard to body style introductions etc.?

Thanks
