L405, not impressed

Just got as a loan car a 405 vogue, not impressed at all, I much prefer the late 322's ive driven, even got it stuck on a very muddy piece of grass my 2003 L322 just drives on and off, id be wounded to have chopped in a 322 for this !!! One day your life will flash before your eyes......................................make sure yours is worth watching!

What was it in particular you don't like about the L405, apart from being stuck obviously

Cheers

Tyres probably the issue. I'm sure my out L322 would out-offroad my L405, but it's all about the tyres. For refinement and driving dynamics, the L405 is in another league. 2024 Range Rover P550e AB

Probably best not to buy one then - stick with your L322 & save the cash - I love mine & think it's better in every way than my previous L322's, but each to their own Thumbs Up

My Mrs drove it and said it doesn't feel like range rover, to be fair I didnt switch to mud mode but I dont need to in my L322, best bits are tailgate opening and auto rear seat moveability rest of it you can keep One day your life will flash before your eyes......................................make sure yours is worth watching!

Does the media sound lower when parking sensors are active?

I blame the driver Whistle Laughing

I found the L405 pretty capable on standard road tyres

The traction electronics are a generation newer, there's no way it will be worse on similar tyres.

Shocked When we were there they were telling us a story of a customer turning up in one of their old cars - telling them what a bargain he had got - no-one had the heart to tell him about the cars history.

Looks like it's still for sale

Some LR dealers sell them and some wont touch them . Thumbs up for google ! You can often tell an ex land rover car as they are too tight to fit fog lights . Big Cry
