The engine on my Range Rover died at 24000 miles. After some fuss they gave me a new engine but I was without the vehicle for over 5 months. So it will only be BMW going forward for me.

In his 2023 x7 review, he gave shortlist rating on x7 but a buy rating on Range Rover. But now he says the x7 wins over Range Rover. But i will take the win. I own the LCI x7 and think it is definitely better than Range Rover.

I mean, if you stick with the V8 Range Rover, you get the N63 which should cure the previous RR engine woes. You just have to deal with the rest of the annoyances like electronics/infotainment.

X7 is definitely a better drivers car as well as reliability
RR is more of a status or show off car, this one is nicer for passengers though. I would take the x7 either way just more composed car

Why?
It's worst in every way except off-road. I've never understood Range Rover. And my mom has one. I don't think it's even in the same league with any German - at all. Awful driving dynamics, awful breaks, awful performance, awful quality, awful reliability.

The RR is so way better looking on the outside and comes with the extra-ness of the RR name. Just my opinion, people love RR's. to me, Porsche and RR are like a quarter step above MB/Audi/BMW in terms of branding and the cost reflects that.
But, if you had to actually spend money on one, the BMW is objectively better, more usable, and more reliable.

My Range Rover nightmare from hell was all about faulty electronics, improper manufacturing and cheap connectors with parts in very vulnerable areas. This gave me 7 months of issues and unreliability that eventually failed on a family road trip. No way in hell even at a tremendous discount would I own one again. My wife detest the brand. RR with a German engine is still surrounded by incompetency and deplorable engineering.
The best and most important factor with Range Rover is their marketing department in product placement and perpetuating old stereotypes of wealth and privilege owning the brand. Last edited by MystroX5; 03-03-2023 at 02:34 PM.. |

I’ll take my X7 M50 any day over the RR. I’m reminded of this every time I sit in one of my friend’s RR when they’re not having issues with their vehicles.

Sounds like you kept it long enough for it to reach self-destruct mode. It's a standard feature on every Range Rover.

Not sure how many on this thread actually own a RR let alone 2 RR’s. I have 112,000 on my 2017 RR Supercharged Dynamic and 83,000 on my 2016 RR Supercharged Dynamic. Both are the most relaxing, elegant, mean sounding vehicles I have ever owned. I have no issues beyond recommended maintenance on both vehicles. I included pics so you know I am not one of those @$$ hats that like to troll these threads.

We’ve had both, 2017 Range Rover HSE and 2020 X7. Biggest real world differences are cost of maintenance and the sportiness of the driving dynamics. These two categories are where there is arguable the biggest differences between the two brands and vehicles. RR maintenance is exhorbitant and the float/waft of the RR ride is completely absent in the X7. There are many other differences but these are the two that stand out the most from our experiences.

Plot twist, the RR V8 is a BMW engine.
