Seen a few around in the flesh around Warwickshire:


My biggest problem with them is i can remember when £80k could get you a decent spec FFRR and not the base spec model down.

That is not very good looking. The lights are far too small. It looks like an L494 grafted to the back of a Chinese knock off of an Evoque.

And this is coming from a man whose garage currently includes three JLR products!

As an aside, I did see the dazzle camo'd SVR on test last Friday night near Ciren.

Would love the SVR but they will be £180k once specced.

4.4 FFRR is a better proposition as youre not paying the SVR tax. Well specced AB is 135.

That will be what replaces my 5.0 S/C, once I actually get over the L460s styling.

I agree about the rear, think it might be quite colour sensitive, the lights just get lost on a black car. Overall I like the design, but take your point.

I cant see how a specced up SVR will be £180k I would have thought £130k max £140k. If they are £180k I think my order will be going somewhere else.

A V8 RRS is what £120k? Factor in the carbon bonnet, fancy sports exhaust (that makes no difference these days), fancy seats and other SVR trim parts and i bet a non specced one will £150k.

I guess it depends on Land Rover and if they are going after the RSQ8, X5M Comp market share or looking at Cayenne GT, Urus and G63 AMG market share. Personally i think the latter.

Hopefully I will have mine in time to go skiing at Christmas.

Went for a d300 as I want the full 3.5t tow capacity, autobiography and blue with black pack.

Ordered a p400 dyn se today and told that the lead time is 12-18 months. No problem for me but a long time to wait for what is a mainstream car.

Having looked at one I was very taken with it and had less of a problem with the price as spec of £92k than I expected. Compared to the X5 and GLE it seems fair value and feels special.

It’s a bit of a leap of faith as well as the last 2 LR products I had 8 years ago were a lot of trouble.

The only caveat to that is nobody pays list prices for Merc or BMW’s with dealer contributions making up part of the deal. I am guessing there are none on the new RRS.

Maybe historically, unlikely to be big discounts now.

That might change sooner than you think.

With rather large prices increases and finance going mental since the mini budget, there could easily be a lot of deposits being requested to be returned.
