Range Rover L405 - Should you buy one?

Any questions about the L405 Range Rover Vogue.... Just ask!

I own a SDV8 2013 with 23.000 miles on it.... what a marvelous piece of machinery!!!!

I had an 2008 L322 and travelled over 320,000kms in it, and literally just upgraded to an TDV8 L405 Autobiography. It's the 5th Range Rover I have owned. I once had said to me in my youth, once you own a Porsche, you will never be too far away from owning one again, this is 100% true for Range Rovers.

I had the 2014 base model, best car I've ever owned

Great cars. Done 140k miles in my L322. I would never be without a Range Rover

i have owned TDV6 2013 since it was 3 years old 29000 miles for 6 years up to 70000 miles now Autobiography in Gold black roof 22 inch wheels and Ivory trim. It has been excellent , the only problem cannot get top rear tailgate to auto close. Had cam belt and brakes replaced and gearbox oil and filter replaced. I am ex Brit motor man purchased the car in UK Ex lease and exported here to New Zealand. Love the vehicle am now approaching 77 so will keep it another 3 years and hope the crankshaft behaves itself. Do not tow or put it under load and garaged at both of my homes. Serviced by non franchise Range Rover specialists at a third of the cost . Would not want the later model with extra screen thankyou. My previous L322 Diesel served me well for 7 years although a bit underpowered. Enjoyed your video. Michael

I have a 2014 5.0 V8 SC LWB - it has 118k miles on it and in the last 8 months all I've done is an oil/filter/air change and changed out the trans filter and fluid. Nothing has gone wrong on the car. I do plan on doing the front/rear differential fluid the next time I do the oil. And, I disagree on the satnav (at least in the States). I did a nearly 3k summer trip through 3 States using the statnav and it worked flawlessly.

I've got a Discovery 4 that I've owned since new (it's been great, no issues), and I was chatting to the Land Rover/Range Rover specialist during its last service. He's a Lexus/Toyota master mechanic as well as Land Rover/Range Rover - and he now specialises in just Land Rover/Range Rover products. We both had a laugh about that probably being where the money is, and I quizzed him on whether I should really be looking at a Lexus/Toyota product for my next vehicle instead of a Range Rover. He said "it depends - do you want the most reliable car, or the best car?" And that, I think, sums it up beautifully. And yes, I want the best car. :D

I also own a L405 4.4 SDV8 Autobiography & I can concur with you. The only thing I’d disagree with is you don’t have all that many options on your SE as my Autobiography does literally have every conceivable extra bar one & that’s a smokers pack lol 😂 Enjoy driving it !

I have a 2017 sdv8 AB Overfinch, I just love it.

SDV8 Vogue SE 2015 here. 👋 Causeway grey, ivory leather, 20” wheels & clear glass. Love it very much & surprisingly easy to DIY. Changed all the fluids which is essential.

More L405 content please!

I have the same 405 and TD6. The DEF replacement at 95,000 miles was very expensive. Shook my confidence. Not sure about future purchases.

I drive and love my Jaguar cars since more than 2 decades. XJ 2,7 D, 5,3 l S III, XJ8 etc.. All the controversies, negative experiences about the RR which I regard a phantastic vehicle, spread uncertainty and indecision of buying one. I see so many RR with engine fails and other massive problems. I wish they would be more reliable. Because there is no better Luxury, timeless elegant and noble SUV on the road with such a presence. Buying one, not buying one is the question

Look forward to it

owning a Range Rover is wonderful , and it's more amazing if you are a Mechanic , it will be costless . Because if you do all the required service for your own car it will be much much cheaper than fixing a toyota

Range Rovers are GREAT vehicles. I’ve owned other luxury brands BUT I’ve always gone back to Range Rover. Sure they are pricey to maintain; it’s a Range Rover. I don’t know about owning one as a daily driver. That would be interesting.

Is that the same 3.0 that is in the disco 4

Pretty certain there’s quite a few options you don’t have on there that an AB has.. Massage seats, 4 way climate, rear heated and cooled seats, ambient lighting to name a few.

Looking at a 2015 with 39K miles in the V8. Looks new and wife drove it. Problem is they had the car serviced at 3700, 17,000, and 36,000 miles. Very sparingly driven and mostly on short trips by the elderly couple. Looks immaculate and am getting a PPI however the lack of services concerns me. Thoughts?
