I am thinking about trading my 2014 PTTS for a RR SVR or another CTT ( have had 4). I think I would like something different then the CTT, so I may go with the RR SVR. Any thoughts? Am I going to be sorry?

 

Great question. I watched most of the SVR videos a few months back.
I'm not sure when it's actually available.

Regardless, the SVR sounds and looks rather interesting.
If i'm not mistaken, it will be more exclusive (limited edition) and cheaper than a comparable CTT.

The videos help to get a feel for the growl of the SVR, but I'm unable to compare the new CTT w/ Sport exhaust against an SVR.
Who knows, that aspect could be a toss up.

I think the CTT is still faster when comparing against the SVR.
The biggest issue to me is the fact that the RR still receives a rather lousy rating for reliability.
Whether that's still true or not, idk.

 

since you are trading a 2014, I'm guessing you are like me and constantly switch vehicles, which in that case, I would say go for the RR, since if you don't like it, you will be back in a cayenne soon enough.

 

I'd pay attention to dependability issues. I looked at the RR but shied away based on their long-term dependability issues. I'm not sure how the new RR is holding up but it's still relatively a new model. Whereas the Cayenne has overall good dependability scores.

The question is how much do you want to get to know your service advisor?

 

Range Rovers are junk- my neighbor had one and was fast but a total POS (broke down with clients in it one day LOL)! He has a Panamera TT with no problems. Also he had a Aston and it was junk too- he now has a Audi R8 and it has no prblems.

get the PTT!!

 

I'm with Mike. If you're getting a new car every other year get the RR. If it blows now you're getting a car every year.


cheers

 

As a former RR owner (4 of them), I would not advise it if reliability is important to you. My last one was 2.5 years ago and it was the worst one so far.

 

My last two cars were Range Rover Sports (2008 and 2011). Unlike other posters above I never had a single issue (put about 50k miles on both). You can head over to the Range Rover forum and see what people are saying about the current model.

My guess is like many vehicles, it is the luck of the draw on getting one prone to issues or not. Overall I am much happier with the overall look of my Cayenne though.

 

Consider yourself lucky...I had a number of issues with all four of mine and they were much less reliable then all of my other cars. My other cars were all german and not necessarily considered the most reliable cars in the world so it's not like I am comparing them to Lexus.

I agree that you can get a bad car from every manufacturer but your chance of that happening increases when buying a Land Rover.

 

I have a new model RR L405 SDV8 and its poor, 2 years old and needed a new front diff, new suspension arms and bushes, is due to get new front air bags and sway bar, possibly steering rack. The dealer said I paid the price for getting the first of a new model and the SVR is exactly that.

LR is still light years away from German engineering, sure its luxurious but Id be scared to death of the SVR, its their most performance based car ever and they dont do the soft stuff very well when it comes to reliability and build quality.

There is something about RR's that keeps me going back, 8 so far, and have quickly fallen out of love with each and every one for the same reasons every time.

Im wanting to come back to german stuff.

 

I've had 4 full size RR, 2 RR sports and 2 Defenders. Loved them all but reliability was a problem with each one! Luckily, our dealer was close, they picked up the car and delivered it back fixed. With only a couple exceptions with problems out of town. Had Porsches during the same time with hardly ever a problem. Now have the Cayenne diesel- not a single problem and at 40k miles.

 

I've driven both, and if push came to shove I would go with the Porsche. I have and LR (that I love) but the dependability issues are annoying but its a great car for the family. Plus its a good off road car.

Funny that when I had the Cayenne I went to the desert for some sightseeing. But it was a horrible ride in the dirt because of the low profile tires.

 

I had 3 land rovers (2 range rovers, 1 LR3) now I have a CTT and I love it. yeah the reliability was a bit of an issue, 2 of my land rovers needed front diffs, one needed a head gasket, the LR3 AC only worked on high, and other little things. but honestly there are times when I miss my land rovers, like when I am out on my ranch, or down on the beach, or any type of real utility stuff.

 

Man don't get me started on the maintenance for an LR3. But I like the car too much to get rid of it. The last round I threw in a OME 2" lift coil over conversion w/ computer re configuration. Now its solid. Honestly I was not a fan of the gucci air suspension. I feel the coil over is more suited for this vehicle. Plus no more annoying dash lights. But for city driving the Cayenne rules. Kinda like a lifted Panamera.

 

Porsche Cayenne Turbo and just-overhauled Range Rover Sport SVR, mind, are something different once more. 'What's more, doesn't exactly do it equity. The arrangement is to take the most functional of all family vehicles – enormous SUVs – and toss the outright works at them. Not to make them 'and' vehicles, but rather 'everything' vehicles; to be down to earth family vehicles that are additionally extravagance vehicles and sports vehicles, which will go farther rough terrain than you could envision, will tow beyond what you might have to tow, be quicker than most GT coupés and pamper you fiercely while not looking like air terminal limos.
On the off chance that you need a four-wheeled moral story for current life – I need totally everything, if it's not too much trouble and I need it now – these two are its main edge.

The fundamental explanation behind getting the two together is that the Cayenne is new. It's another full-size SUV to sit on the Volkswagen Group's undeniably omnipresent MLB crossover steel and aluminum stage, which likewise supports the Audi Q7, Bentley Bentayga, Lamborghini Urus and Volkswagen Touareg.
In this reach beating Turbo structure it costs everything except £100,000, with power coming from a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8, mounted in the front and driving each of the four wheels through an eight-speed programmed gearbox.
The front-to-raise force move can be part, by means of an arrangement of grips. Air suspension is standard, discretionary is a 48V dynamic enemy of move bar framework, which can couple or decouple, adjusting its solidness in quick time, contingent upon whether you need to take out body roll, or, state, permit more wheel enunciation. The motor makes 542bhp and 567lb ft, the last from 1960rpm. In truth, the kerb weight, somewhat because of all the abovementioned, is 2175kg, however regarding equipment, barely any vehicles come more over-prepared.
One of them may be the Range Rover Sport SVR, the result of Jaguar Land Rover's Special Vehicle Operations (SVO) division. At its dispatch in 2014 the Sport SVR additionally accompanied 542bhp from its 5.0-liter supercharged V8, however it appears to be that wasn't sufficient. So here it is, post-facelift, with unassuming mechanical changes however, altogether, 567bhp and 516lb ft, the last an expansion of 14lb ft yet created from 3500rpm, such is the idea of supercharging instead of turbocharging.
The excess equipment and philosophy are like those of the Porsche. There's an eight-speed auto and a four-wheel drive framework which generally offers a 50:50 front-to-raise force split, despite the fact that grip in the middle diff can send 100% of the drive to one or the other pivot. There's a locking back differential (standard, in contrast to the Porsche), air springs and a standard dynamic enemy of move bar, despite the fact that its hydrodynamics aren't 48V-fueled. As far as possible is a simple 3000kg, to the Cayenne's 3500kg, yet it gets a bunch of low-range proportions and is likely more able in mud, despite the fact that this isn't the test to demonstrate it.
The SVR, from £101,145, costs a smidgen more than the £99,291 Porsche, yet when you have them precisely closer to indistinguishable things have moved the alternate way. Swings and traffic circles, truly: even at this tenuous degree of vehicle buy, things are dangerously close between contenders.
Until it comes to – hold up! Would you see that cap. The Range Rover Sport has for quite some time been a material for – how to put this carefully? – a portion of the world's more amazing vehicle feel organizations so if you want to get more information visit here, so Range Rover has chosen to get a spot of the activity itself. Presumably the carbonfibre hood makes a huge commitment to weight-saving money on this 2310kg (before alternatives) vehicle, and in the event that you need to show it off, you can do, by leaving it unpainted for an extra £6225.
