2013 Range Rover Sport SDV6 HSE Santorini Black

Now that's a good looking car and I need to pull back on ordering RRS number 2 until I read test drives etc.. But ... have a look at the price list!!! Shocked An R-Dynamic HSE 380 with essentials like metallic, 22s, pano and a few nice to haves like park heater is going to easily take you to 80k and beyond. Wowza. Somebody stole a leaf out of the Macan Turbo pricelist. Then again, if the Germans can charge it, why souldn't we. And there is tech on the Velar that we don't have on the RRS - e.g. LED Matrix headlights (which I sampled on an X5M recently and are absolutely fantastic). And the choice of alloys is better on the Velar Cool Rolling with laughter

United Kingdom 2013 Range Rover Sport SDV6 Autobiography Fuji White

Way too expensive,,looks like I'm keeping my RRS for another year then probably change brands,,these are getting too silly with the prices now,,,,but as long as folk keep buying them they'll keep putting prices up.I suppose they are aiming at business buyers (that never own cars & lease them)rather than private buyers.

It's the little touches like the auto door handles, they look stunning, BUT what happens when this suffers with some sort of battery drain, just like every other model before it?

2013 Range Rover Sport SDV6 HSE Stornoway Grey

Looking at the specifications it looks like LR has been reading all the early posts on BabyRR back in 2011......... then people were asking Why no V6 engines? Why no adaptive Cruise? Why no airsuspension options? Looks like their prayers have been answered 6 years too late and in a much more expensive car!
On the configurator I am surprised lack of bright paint colours (they are all dull except Firenze which is looking dated) and staggered at how costly the options are.......... looks like I'll be buying the Corgi Toy version and hanging on to my RRS for longer. It is usual though that LR introduces a new model and uses that as a reason to hike the prices of the next model up not long after, so expect an hefty price hike for RRS to take it up to the £70k start point and loss of what are standard items of kit now to the options list as well.............

Also on the configurator have you noticed how like an Audi Q7 the Fuji white car looks from the angled front picture.........

And at 06:50UK time the LR website has crashed - "Land Rover website is currently unavailable" is the message I get on an LR logo' page! So many people speccing up new Veeeeeeeeelars 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

When the new Sport came out, I thought (and probably said here too) that I'd never buy one, mainly due to the price hike and lack of standard equipment compared to the previous model. I have one now and despite NOT into buying brand new cars, this one was new because there was no point in buying a year old car with 10k miles but still paying new car price just to avoid a 6 month wait Rolling Eyes

Unlike Evoque (IMHO), the Velar is a good looking car and the tech looks great. It will sell like hot cakes and if its price pushes RRS pricing upwards again, hopefully it will be good for our residuals. Current: Volvo XC90 T8 Inscription Pro PHEV with some optionals on top

I've just specced one up, and, to get as close as possible to my new RRS spec., it's still a lot cheaper. (£78,000 versus £96,000). There are some options you can't have, but there again the Velar has things the RRS doesn't. Take off £6,500 for my V8 engine, and it's still £10k+ cheaper.

I think it looks great, sceptical on the price but didn't expect any bargain to be honest! Any murmurings of an SVR in the pipeline peeps? After all they recently announced their intention to release any potential SVO vehicle much nearer to the launch of the 'regular' model, 6 months I think was the quote?
