New FFRR

[Caddyshack]

Lovely, I bet that is a very quiet and comfortable place to be. Eye watering price if you have to pay for it in full with cash.

Had it a couple of weeks now, well worth the years wait. First Range Rover for 14 years, astonished at how well it drives. 350d engine just under 40 mpg on 300 miles round trip this week.

Lovely.

So glad Balmoral Green has proved popular.
It’s my favourite colour on the new one but I’ll be buying used @ 3-5 years old.

I always imagined the the dealer would call me up and check that I was still happy with a few aspects of the spec - eg the colour. I'd like to see a few more on the road - so far I've only seen a handful and most have been black.

Collected our new one yesterday after 6 months of having a new shape Sport.

Sport was a fantastic vehicle but this is on a different level.

Charente grey, gloss black pack, portofino interior 23" wheels.

Which engine and photos please

I’m picking mine up on the 17th.

Someone a mile up the lane has a green one. Not seen in sunlight yet and it looks really dark, almost black in low light. Interesting to see one in sunlight with the green coming out much brighter.

Getting a RRS myself in giola green with tan interior. Am so boooooored of all the black ones

Congratulations. The one I've ordered is charente grey. One of those colours you can't really go wrong with.

I have had my car for about 6 months. I opted for the 3l diesel HSE and think the car is brill. I have posted pictures before but here’s another!

Is that Balmoral ?
Lovely machine. I have just been offered a canx order place on the list for a car expected in a summer. Going to trade in the ‘23 RRS if it comes. Spec is fixed but colour and interior not.

Its a D350 Autobiography.

First diesel i have had for 8 years.

Noticeably not as urgent as the 510e RR sport in EV mode, but very smooth and plenty of power.

Really impressed with it, and so far offering 37mpg.

I think so; not too dark, and not too light.

Personally think a black interior would be too much and the portofino brings it right up; makes it seem so spacious inside as the leather headlining is the same colour.

Forgot to add; I asked them to fit the gloss black mudflaps in keeping with the black pack but didn't ask how much they were.

Turns out they are they are possibly the most expensive mudflaps ever at around £450...

That is epic gouging… what are they made out of? Patent unicorn leather?

That’s lovely! The Charente Grey looks great when the purple hue is showing.

I’ve driven a D350 back to back with my SVD8 and it’s definitely smoother, and being a hybrid it’s more economical. Both have 700NM of torque which is the important bit.

Mine’s a D350 HSE with some options and the same black pack/interior/wheels/ as yours but with Eiger Grey. My last few FFRR’s have been dark grey or black so I thought I’d have a change. Only a week and a bit until collection

Morning Rangie lovers.

I am on my second P440e (awaiting my P510e) and to answer a couple of questions above:

1. Engine only MPG is 28 in mixed driving
2. I pay £2.50 in electricity to drive 53 miles (Intelligent Octopus tariff)

Incidentally I seem to get 53 miles no matter the weather or use of electric seats / steering wheel etc.

I take it your trading in back to LR, if so are you getting what you paid back or overs?

Quick question for you, we currently have a P440e on order to replace our XC90 T8. On the XC90 if your plant your foot down it kicks the petrol engine and won't come off petrol until the engine has warmed through (it will do the same in the cold too). Is this the same in the 440? Or can you force it to stay in electric only?

Can't answer for the latest iteration but my L405 p400e (i.e. last shape) works the same as the XC90 by the sounds of things. The electric motor only has 100bhp (which surprisingly is sufficient for most situations). Press too hard on the accelerator (there is a tell-tale on the dash) and the engine kicks in. It will stay active for a while (presumably to heat it up). It is noticeable that, on cold days, things like heated seats, screens, steering wheel impact the ability of the 100bhp to cope (compounded no doubt by the battery being cold). That said, I am getting 45-50mpg with a combination of lots of short journeys (sub 10 miles) and a few very long ones (200+).
