Thanks for the link. Harry’s Garage reviews are always enjoyable, and this one was eagerly awaited!

Good to see the car do a little light off roading, and he certainly seemed to punt it around those Cotswolds roads a fair bit.

Also surprised it was a green car. Definitely a grey look at the start of the film. 2024 Range Rover P550e AB

Scotland 2017 Range Rover Autobiography 5.0 SC V8 Corris Grey

That is a useful review, his own farm is more real world testing than the other tests I have seen, generally on LR's own layout.

HM has had RRs for many years (all models apart from the P38) so his opinion is worth more than that of most other reviewers. So it surprised me that he said that the suspension of earlier RRs was harder when the suspension is raised, I think the reverse. I tried the 460 along a poorly surfaced farm road that is a fine test for any suspension and I thought it pretty good on it, 23" wheels and all, but not that different to my 405 which went along the same road later that week (21" wheels just now). Also he talks about the 460 being wider when in fact it is narrower than the 405, albeit not much. Only Range Rovers since 1988

That is the exact specification of my car. Even down to the retracting parcel shelf option. Shocked

I’m now at 3000 miles in it and can confirm it’s still an extraordinary car.

I think what Harry refers to is the wheel track that has become 12mm wider; from 1690mm at the front on the L405 to 1702mm for the L460. But as you say, CS, both the other two width measurements have been reduced: L405: 2073/2200 --> L460: 2047/2209 (folded mirrors / mirrors unfolded)

This review is quite comprehensive, albeit rather irritating and Germanic at times. A few different colours as well.

The quality of the switches in the boot and the heating controls is rather alarming in the way they flex in and out!

Re the switches I sat one one again the other day, I realised how much is either the same or extremely close to the Disco. If you had blindfolded me and sat me in it for the first time I would have guessed I was in the Discovery 6. I was initially wowed but the closer I look I can see heavy sharing or parts and the lower and less scrutinised areas are definitely lighter weight plastics and materials. I am very torn what to do given I received the notification of my price increasing this week! MY23 PHEV HSE

I enjoyed that review by the German chap. I agree about the rear boot buttons - seems odd that the quality in those sorts of areas has diminished vs the L405 model. I'd love to understand what is the driver behind this, is it as simple as cost cutting?

I agree about the electric everything - although this is also the case with my L405 - and I properly miss the easy fold seats of my older L322. That's progress though, I guess....! 2024 Range Rover P550e AB

I wonder if anyone from JLR scans forums like this? So much useful information to discover at zero cost.
I also liked the German chaps review as informative. Filters are in fact so good that in certain circumstances, when the ambient air is already polluted, a diesel car will tend to extract more particles from the air than it emits. Emissions Analytics worked with........etc etc

Off Topic Thomas at Autogrfuel is my favourite YouTube car journalist he has a great format of giving very detailed honest walk arounds of new cars. If you watch his and then a Harry’s garage review of any car you will have a good feel for it. MY23 PHEV HSE
