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.

Exactly, i have friends who bought RR Velar and Evoque and those 2 are the worst model of all. Went into workshop more than on the road. Besides, aint cheap in my part of the world. RR in my country signifies par excellence and wealth. But it seems its far cry from that.

A P250 Velar alrdy cost USD 117k and spend most of the time in workshop. Crazy. Luckily my uncle’s SVR is ok till now. Problem free. For me i have decided to go with X5 for family car. I want problem free, status come later.

Bmw have really upped their game in luxury and reliability iver the past few years and land rover has really upped their prices.

The little inconsistencies in the build quality of the RR is bothersome.

RR is one of the worst-rated with regard to reliability and customer satisfaction. I also believe BMW has more to offer at a lower price.
