I just ran a quote on a 2022 plate Defender P400 and it comes in at £1550 which is cheaper than what my Golf R costs me to insure!

However a FFRRS is £5,215.95.

Hate acronyms what the hell, is " FF "

fking fked ?
Full Frame ??
Forever Friends ?.

Range Rover Sport ?

If you don’t know what FF RRS is, then I think you’ve found yourself in the wrong place my son.

Nope.

Before being so condescending I think you should fact check yourself; it’s either FFRR or RRS.

I’ve never seen anyone else ever refer to an FFRRS. Ever. Because is doesn’t exist. In fact, if you want to be really pedantic it’s a Vogue or an RRS.

I guess that means you are in the wrong place.

I think I was originally a Clarksonism to describe the Range Rover. Suggesting, of course, that the Sport is semi-skimmed.

Surely if semi skimmed it would be RRSS????? Therefore skimmed?

Explain Dad or is this some fkwit Acronyms' that has fk all to do with Range Rovers ,?

If its supposed to mean top of the range then just put " Autobiography ultimate edition" or as these appear to be uninsurable , i'd opt for

the Kahn Autobiography







ticks all the boxes

Does that have little steps in it or is it smooth? Must be annoying trying to slide something in the back and it getting stuck on the lip

Full Fat Range Rover (FFRR) is a necessary evil as even the bloomin’ dealers call them ‘Vogues’ now.

Range Rover is a model designation in it’s own right.

Sport, Velar, Evoque are a sub species.

It’s JLR’s own fault for trying to turn Range Rover into a brand.

I’d say Range Rover is now a brand. The models are Vogue, Sport, Velar and Evoque - all come in different levels of specification.

No such model as “Vogue”, and nor was there ever - just a former trim level.

[Boleros]

Lol, the accepted abbreviations have always been FFRR or RRS in day to day chat. Anything more than that is just simply getting into a more detailed conversation about models and trims.

No idea what an FFRRS is though, typo maybe?

I’ve often seen them mentioned at Vogue, Vogue SE and Vogue Autobiography; therefore I've assumed that as the Range Rover sub brand has expanded then Vogue became the model for what most of us refer to as the FFRR. Every day is a school day!

My understanding is the biggest Range Rover (the 'Full Fat') trim levels are Vogue, Vogue SE and Autobiography. Then add anything else that JLR have dreamt up like 'Unlimited' or some such.

For example, I have a Range Rover Autobiography SDV8.

On the L405 there was SVAutobiography as the next trim level up from Autobiography

[Jordie Barretts sock]

Sorry, yes. But I was referring to Vogue being a model trim level not a model like Sport or Velar.

[camel_landy]

IIRC - The 'Flagship' car is simply referred to as 'Range Rover'.

Range Rover is also the model range, so you then also have 'Range Rover Sport', 'Range Rover Velar', etc...

The problem comes when someone asks "What do you drive?".
"I drive Range Rover"
"Oh, which one? Sport, Evoque?"

"Vogue" has been used to distinguish the flagship model from the others but as correctly pointed out, this term is just a trim level.

But in some ways, I think it's typical LR. When the Evoque first arrived, we had "Pure", "Prestige" and "Dynamic", whilst everything else was "SE", "HSE", etc.

Hey ho

It's a never ending conversation when in the car with my wife

Me "I want a Range Rover"
Her "That one looks quite nice"
Me "That's an Evoque, no thanks"
Her "But is says Range Rover on it"

And so on through every different model. Until we see a FF.

Me "That's the one"
Her " It's a bit big"

The difference between a Discovery Sport and a Sport blows her mind. It's sort of fair enough for a non particularly car person as the design language is so strong you do have to occasionally look twice.

Not anymore...it's now SE, HSE, Autobiography and SV.
