21’s are the ones to have. NOT the 22’s.
Trust me I have tried both.
Everything about the ‘V’ is exceptional.
Ask the RR off~road demo chaps which car they’d take.
I’ve tested them all.
They all agree the ‘V’ delivers more than any other RR.
It has 99.9% of the off~road capabilities of the Sport but is so much better everywhere else. You’re able to have a LOT more fun and ‘exploit the back~end’ which you can’t do in the Sport.
The ‘tech’ is ...simply way better.
The pace is ‘rapid’. Seriously !!!

SVA... YES please..

It's highly unlikely many will go off road (and fair enough!) so I doubt many would need to ask the off road demo chaps. It'll come down to how it feels on the road and what styling the owner prefers. Which is fine by me.

I think it looks perfect on 21”



Comical on 18”



A very wheel sensitive car.

Great just what we need yet another SUV shortly to be seen outside a school parked across the pavement or blocking a country lane to save the tyres getting dirty - at least this ones got an oversized exhaust to make it special.

Put the V8 in a car body please then lets talk, lets not kid ourslves this will be doing any off-roading - so why bother?

Why post?
Why mention off-road ability?
Why whinge?

I think the root cause is <snip> the UK.

Fix that for accuracy. Brits will whinge, even if they have to find a reason to whinge. And even if it's irrelevant.

So for £90k you could have this, or the Jeep Cherokee Trackhawk, which is a bit bigger I guess, but definitely "wins" on outright power.

It's also LHD only, isn't it? Would instantly put a huge number of people off.

Just a Cheadle Housewife's pimp mobile.
Give me a 1976 Range Rover 3 door any time - far, far more classy than this thing.

Cheadle??

Cheadle Hulme

It's got a John Lewis and everything

Mine has the 21" wheels and the ride isn't brilliant but its not uncomfortable (sadly not the SVA which looks fantastic). Such a shame the electrics are sub-standard.

I know the area, I'm from 3 miles further south.....which is far more 'Velar' territory. Cheadle isn't. Hence my questioning the use

It’s that bad that you have specific zones of chavness?

You have to drive 5 miles south to get to Bentayga country.

Who mentioned Chavness? Cheadle certainly isn't Chavvy.

You've just made me measure it. I'm actually 7 miles south of Cheadle. Bentayga country is 8
