£2,000 VS £200,000 LUXURY SUV!

EV Channels Review

This video pits a brand-new, £200,000 Range Rover SV Extended Wheelbase against a 2004 Range Rover Autobiography costing a mere £2,000. The new model excels in modern luxury, featuring a plush interior with executive rear seats, advanced technology, and a powerful 530hp V8 engine. Its driving dynamics are praised for surprising agility and comfort, despite its size, aided by rear-wheel steering. In contrast, the 2004 model, despite its age and visible wear (including rust and a keyed panel), offers a surprisingly robust experience for its price. Its naturally aspirated 286hp V8 provides a more engaging, albeit less powerful, drive, and its interior, while dated, still retains a sense of luxury. The reviewer highlights the significant cost savings of the older model, noting that its alloy wheels alone are worth more than the car itself. While the new Range Rover is undeniably superior in almost every metric, the old model proves to be an astonishingly good value proposition, offering a taste of Range Rover luxury at a fraction of the cost, provided one can overlook its age-related quirks and potential reliability issues.
