Not that long ago car companies were abandoning inline 6-cylinder engines due to their cost and packaging constraints. But it turns out V6s were so last century and everyone from Land Rover to Mercedes and Mazda is hopping back on the inline-6 bandwagon. Why? Because they are fantastic. Much like the Mercedes EQ inline-6, the JLR 6-cylinder engine is also a mild hybrid with a few tricks up its sleeve. Jay: Heated front seats, a homelink remote, and 3 zone auto climate arent standard on a vehicle that starts at nearly 70 grand. That is a horrible decision by Land Rover. Those are extremely common features that one would expect on any luxury vehicle, especially one that expensive

All that was old is new again. My first car was a 1954 Kaiser with an inline 6 that offered a fire-breathing 125 HP. :) I followed it up with a '63 Dodge Dart that got me though college with its famous Slant6. It offered even more scalding performance with 145 HP. 0-60 mph. Well, it got there eventually. I'm not going to be rushing out to get a Range Rover Sport. (Have a kid to send to college) But I do like SUV's in the RR's size category (192 in length. And I was struck my Alex' comment about the utility of a third row in crossovers of this size. We have a KIA Sorento with a surprisingly accommodating third row for its size (189 in length) Not suitable for three adults or even for two adults for an extended journey but extremely convenient for occasions when we need to transport more than 5 passengers and would otherwise have to use two vehicles. On the other hand the Sorento offers 3 more legroom and 11 more shoulder room than the RR Sport. And I could buy three Sorentos for the price of the RR Alex drove. :)

Yummy. Time to move away from Ford engines. Irony is the people that i know that licked up range eovers after the redesign havent had any real issues compared to other European models. People crying unreliability are just boomers teying to live up the bmw owner days.

If I knew it wouldnt fall apart, Id love it. Sadly theyre only good for a couple years. Land Rovers are definitely vehicles you should only lease. I pity anyone who buys a Land Rover product, especially a brand new one or a really old one

Awesome review! If I had to purchase in this segment my first choice would be the Audi and then maybe the Mercedes. I always loved the Land Rovers and Jaguars but they have not been very reliable, I would only lease those! lol: -)
