I'm the last person to ever like SUVs, but the full-fat range rover has always been my favourite. The new one looks ACE at all angles. I like the lack of gloss black trims inside and the comeback to some buttons for the air con.

Agree, the RR has always been a favorite of mine when it comes to big SUV's, especially with its off-roading skills, even if it most owners never will take it off road. The new one definitely looks great, and I love the new blacked out taillights - possibly the next big trend? - and the interior looks much nicer with better materials and infotainment than the last model. It was also smart of them to add a three-row model for this generation as I know a lot of RR owners have been asking for that for years and don't want to get the Disco.

Pretty conservative redesign but it's fine. The current model looks incredibly fresh for being 8 yrs old, so there was not much to improve on. Interior could be more spruced up but it's fine.

Stunning vehicle with such presence. Always loved RR products. I'm more curious about the RR Sport version that will launch on their new platform.

I'm actually glad they didn't go with crazy oversized grill or some other ridiculous change. Very nice conservative design, something BMW needs to learn about lately...

Eh......have car manufacturers stopped learning how to make rears look good? This and the 2021 S Class were two highly-anticipated cars coming out....and the rears look horrible on both. Rest of the car looks good....but rears don't.

Mhmm, just found out it is possible to have a matching BMW garage...
RR SV in 'British Racing Green - Satin Finish' with the gold 'Serenity' exterior trim & M5 CS in Frozen Deep Green. Both N63-based V8s. This is VERY good.

Audi's TT V8 engine is fine as long as you update the turbo oil screen. I just bought one going in knowing it has to be done. Even scheduled it as soon as I bought the car. They change the oil, update the screen, pcv and a couple other things that make it bullet proof once done. They told me that they haven't seen any turbo issues after the update. Cost with tax is $1,900. Can't beat the power for the money.

So the Autobiography is $175k with options, which means the SV version will be $200k+. It's also ugly as sin if you ask me. I don't know why the full size looks so much worse than the sport, which is one of my favorite SUV designs. Can't imagine wanting to buy one of these brand new. Give me a used SVR sport and $80-100k in the bank over this thing any day...

I've always liked the design of RR's (this included). I can't wait to get out of this RR Velar though...the quality is so piss poor. I've never had so many issues with a car in my life.

Please tell me the electronics and media interface are also bmw sourced...
LRs touchscreen and UI were utter garbage... to go with their garbage reliability.

Hotcakes indeed, someone on MBWorld said their local LR dealer had 40 orders after the reveal.
