I Drove a 4.4 Vogue SE recently and couldn't believe how luxurious it was, silent on the road too! Just a note, when your car is off, if you press the start button without putting your foot on the brake, the car should give you power for radio, heating, etc

    The sense of occasion is spot on. No other car makes you feel the same way a Ranger Rover or Disco when you're driving them. The driving position is unparalleled as is the ride. It's one of the few cars I've driven that is rewarding to drive slowly as well as quickly.

    Nice review. I bought my 2013 (2014 model) L405 Autobiography in January. I had a 2003 L322 Vogue and a Vogue in the 1980s. I loved all of them. You are spot on with the way the car makes you feel. Since most driving nowadays is about moving slowly on crowded roads it’s a very comfortable and quiet place to be. It’s my chill out space. You don’t need to go fast as you can waft along in comfort. My problem is where to go next. Newer ones are much dearer and even the latest model isn’t much different. I don’t like the Bentayga (looks and poor rear seating). The Cullinan has grown on me but is massively expensive even pre-owned. Owning a Range Rover spoils for anything else in terms of driving experience, comfort, practicality and quality. BTW the wooden steering wheel and leather roof lining are wonderful! 😉

    Great review, and I love the scenery! The reason the ride is 'a bit crashy' is that the 4.4 litre and the supercharged petrol are fitted with the active anti roll bars. The 3.0 TDV6 is not fitted with them and has a better smoother ride, but not everybody likes it because it leans more in the corners.

    Coming from two previous Discovery 4’s, I tried out both systems before I bought my current RR. The 3.0 rolled much more in corners than the D4, while the 4.4’s roll just seemed normal. I couldn’t tell any difference in ride quality and in the 93,000 miles that I’ve done in it since, I haven’t been able to fault the ride. Ride quality in RR’s seems much more badly effected by the pointlessly over sized wheels and low profile tyres that many of them leave the factory with! If someone has a 5.0 or 4.4, with 20” rims AND a crashy ride, then there’s something wrong with it. My first port of call would be checking the anti roll bar bushes 👍

    I was almost going to ask you on another video when you were going to do the full review of your Rover, As my warranty starts to whine down, I'm starting to look at the L405 as my next upgrade, my '11 sport supercharged has been nothing but amazing and the only expense was a deductible payment to replace sway bar bushings which will cause it to sound like the suspension is failing. I was told by my local dealer that the timing chain issue has shown up as recently as 2016 models (supposedly was addressed in '13) but are few and rare. I love mine and can't wait for the upgrade in the next year, this review just essentially confirmed that I'm on the right track with these. And yes, we do have some diesels here which are starting to come on the used market. Keep up the good work! Always enjoy the videos!

    You really chose the right engine, Matt. I've got one question about the suspension. Don't you find it both crashy and wallowy (which is a bit paradoxical)? When I drove one, it baffled me.

    I know what you mean. The adaptive suspension does well when you're driving quickly around corners but at lower speeds it can feel a bit wallowy. Its not as trashy as the Sport, but crashier than you'd expect - if any of that makes sense haha

    So, you know the issue with regards to the Bluetooth streaming, not displaying the track information? That was going to be implemented, however the project managers over at Gaydon, were putting pressure on the infotainment department to get the vehicle pushed through to final prototype stage. Because these project managers get bonuses to reach their set time goals (they call them Gateways), that's all they really care about. Sorry, I didn't mean to have a rant. 🙄 I just know what happened about that. Don't ask me how 😉. The Land Rover dealerships have access to a system called "Pathfinder". It interfaces directly with factory software updates. Sadly though, the infotainment department didn't release an update for the L405. No harm in checking with your local dealer for any sw updates. I do know that there was a recent safety recall on the L405s to do with the door locking. Just thought I'd mention that.

    uktech Fascinating and, as an ex-project fella with a family member who is an ex-JLR employee, I believe every word of it. I can understand the need to get it released to start earning paying for itself, but not giving it an update would be a crying shame (and a bit shoddy for a pricey bit of kit). Beautiful all the same.

    my 2000 P38 4.0lt V8 petrol cost £1650 3 yrs ago - 113k miles (I've done 5k since ownership). Like property being ALL about Location, Location, Location. RR ownership is ALL about Maintenance, Maintenance, Maintenance. Mine has suffered ZERO depreciation and over 5k miles has cost about £1500 - all upfront maintenance before I started using it. Being a home mechanic type - I love the more analogue nature of the P38. If I was going to upgrade I would probably opt for a 2008-09 L322 but in all honesty, I'm more likely to spend £5000 rebuilding the engine (if required) before moving on - there is literally nothing else wrong with it. Glad you are enjoying your new purchase - enjoy it and ignore the nay sayers

Yes I really love the L405 and will probably take the natural route to upgrade to one when they come into my budget but for now - the L322 is a joy. Like you say, they need servicing properly and mine has had a few issues but nothing major. Wouldn’t drive anything else. Enjoy yours !
