Why are people crazy about Range Rovers?

 I’m a domestic vehicle fan of years, Escalades, Suburbans and Navigators, I like my big SUVs.

Recently traded in a 2019 Lincoln Navigator L Reserve for a new 2021 Range Rover LWB Autobiography (I usually trade every 2 years), I had a 2021 Escalade on order but the order has been delayed due to part shortages. Straight up vs the lincoln:

Interior: I felt domestic luxury was amazing till I got inside this thing, everything is leather/wood, not all plastic, example, navigator leather felt cheap, the dash was rubber etc, the RR, all leather. There’s details that just simply can’t be touched, it is a superior product.

Exterior: I mean I liked the look of the navigator on the outside, had other comments many times it was a sharp vehicle, people would look and compliment, but the RR there’s something else, people assuming someone rich or famous is driving it lol.

Power: The navigator had ample power, was peppy and was fun to drive, but the v8 p525 is something else, the driving dynamics is just absolutely pristine, this SUV is “fun” and comfortable to drive, I tested a west-minister first and the performance/dynamics are no different than my AB, so mechanically not much changes so the guts are the same.

Tech: It was on-par or slightly better with more cool gadgetry than my navigator, but there’s better tech, also own a Audi Q8 and the tech in that thing is insanely amazing and nothing can touch it, the 2021 Escalade id say has better tech.

Reliability: I’m less than 400 miles in so I can’t comment though I’m waiting.

Big things, FUN factor to drive, the vehicle also caters to passengers, especially in the back, the driving dynamics totally blew my navigator out of the water.

Update: So Land Rover has a lot of complaints about “reliability”, I know people that own or have owned them, what I’ve come to realize or notice is that RR owners are Type A personalities, they complain or bring up everything, in life or everything they own, I feel RRs suffer this as their market would be type a or wealthy people. Owning a Lincoln Navigator, I had issues, but I never complained, other navi owners I knew also had the same issues and we didn’t care, none of us reported our issues on the JD Power surveys, now a fellow LT RR owner I know complained of a squeak that was actually from something he put in the back seat compartment, even though its not the vehicles fault he constantly complained about it.
