If you want to give yourself a real presence on the road, one of the best ways to do this is to get your hands on a Range Rover extended-wheelbase SV.
However, there’s a problem - the new Range Rover comes with a pretty hefty price tag of around £200,000! So if it’s too steep for you, would you be better off going for a 2004 Range Rover Autobiography, that cost just £2,000?
Well, it’s time to find out! So let’s take a look at what you get with each car.
Starting with the new Range Rover, it looks super sleek from the outside. It comes with a chrome effect on the grille, huge 23-inch alloy wheels, and a few smart features such as pop-out door handles! Step inside and it just exudes luxury, with the entire cabin covered in leather and a huge infotainment screen and digital dial system. This edition also comes with the executive class dual rear seats, which recline and are super comfortable!
When it comes to engine choices, the one we have here is a 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 that can deliver 530hp. However, there are also two plug-in hybrid editions available.
In terms of the old Range Rover, it's clearly related to the newer car, although it has a much more boxy design. It’s clearly been well used, with a couple of bumps and spots of rust, but it still looks pretty smart. The interior has also held up relatively well, although the leather on the steering wheel doesn’t look the best, and some of the mod-cons no longer work - but it’s still not bad for a car with over 170,000 miles on the clock!
Naturally, it’s also down on power, with its 4.4-litre naturally-aspirated V8 delivering 286hp.
So what do you think - will the car that is 100x the price of the classic Range Rover win it? Or will the old edition prove to be better value for money? You’ll need to stick with Mat and see for yourself!

The new one certainly isn't worth 100 times more than the old one.. nice to put things into perspective.
The old one certainly isn't 100 times cheaper. Wait till the repair bills come.
If you're not a practical man, even loaded with money and can't drive a Honda, Mazda or Toyota but absolutely have to have a Range Rover I'd say the warranty on the new one is worth the difference in price alone. Also for all you car geeks out there, J. Clarkson still drives that old Range Rover around his farm.

@@Anonymous34345 He probably sold it because of the insurance cost 'crisis' with Range Rovers and Land Rovers. They are being stolen at an unprecedented rate (and yes that is mainly the newer ones) but it seems some insurance companies are unable to understand that a 15 year old vehicle is unlikely to be stolen so people with old RR and LR are seeing insurance premiums double or triple - and when your car is worth £2000 paying most of that for a years insurance probably sticks in the throat.

£2k for a year's driving seems a good deal. The old RR still looks pretty comfortable. I'd take the old RR and £198k, rather than the new one, in the unlikely event of such a choice being offered.
If it dies on day 2 and you throw it away as he suggests that £1000 a day price tag ultimately makes it more expensive than the £200K one lol. You might get lucky, I guess it depends on how much you like to gamble.
@@codemonkeyalpha9057 very unlikely that it will die on the second day , but still you have 100!!!! tries on that
@@moriyamakyon1067 The reality is both are stupid ways to spend your money. I know people who have bought old luxury and then spent a fortune on them, and they have spent weeks on end in the garage at a time. Then running around on bald tires and scraping brakes because they cost far more to replace than they are used to. Why not ditch the pretentiousness and buy something reliable that you can afford? Most of these £2000 bargains have been dead already, resurrected for a quick sale. I don't think them dying again soon after is actually that unlikely. Check the seller, it is often dismantlers who took them for scrap metal.
That L322 is testament to not how old a car is or how many miles it's done, but who has owned it and kept it well maintained.

Imagine how many headgaskets that thing had changed.
I used to own that exact L322 about 8 years ago. There's actually a review video on my channel. Still the best interior I've ever had in a car.

Come back in 20 years and see how the new one fairs. Not so well I would imagine
Re$ale will be toilet worthy.
Well the car sold amazingly well in some other countries man.
20 years! More like 10 years. At 10 years old and worth about 15-20% of original value nobody will want to spend 7/8/9k to fix a serious engine issue (historically common) or 2k every time one of the many many electronic bits need replacing (like those door handles) JLR products just don't last....
All the needless extras, all the idiotic automatic tables will not work. These extras are truly silly on a new one and new car is ugly, I'm sorry
@@Jamessansome The V8's aren't too bad engine wise but the diesels love to go pop. Worst part is the constant electrical issues with them
The 2k one actually looks better . Love the body style of it
The interior is nicer too.
You know... I am actually quite impressed with the old one. Love the style and it seems to be in good shape. Over 170k miles (which is approaching 300k kilometers) is nothing to sneeze at.
Imagine how impressed you would be with a 20yo Lexus. The car is falling to pieces.

Imagine how much the new one has already depreciated in this 30 minute video… I still hopelessly wish Land Rover can get their act together and give us reliable durable products that can match its abilities 😞

Flat battery happens all the time on the l322, I always use the kill switch for the battery under the bonnet, prevents thefts too
Looking at all those electronically operated features in the new RR makes me wonder how well they'll be working in 20 years from now.
LOL same
They won`t.
20 yrs you say, I think you would be lucky if still working in 2 months.
Hey Mat, loved the comparison between the brand-new Range Rover and the one that's 20 years old. Got me thinking, how about throwing a 10-year-old Range Rover into the mix? It'd be cool to see how it stacks up against the other two regarding tech and value drop. Cheers!
👍👍
I prefer the dash in the old model it’s very classy and expensive looking the wood is so cool.
Our 2010 3.6 TDV8 is still driving beautifully. So far (3yrs) it's proved surprisingly reliable. Still makes me feel relaxed and calm when I drive it. We've fitted Grabber tyres, because it does actually go off road on a semi regular basis, and there it's in it's element. Out performing all the modern BMW's, Porsche etc etc by a margin. I'd love to be able to afford a new one though.
I find it funny how these reviews by carwow are all nice and friendly, then you speak to their customer service team when trying to sell a car. I had one guy on the phone yesterday telling me I didn't know what I was talking about and getting super aggressive because I refused the offer. Beware folks when using carwow, you'll be offered peanuts for your car compared to others and their customer service reps are rude, arrogant and downright aggressive. Don't let Mat's friendly and endearing personality make you think otherwise. They are no better than WBAC, Motorway etc.
Hardly surprising. The entire industry is full of con men
Well thats very interesting fact bro.😅
It might have been just a bad experience as I sold my 21 P400 X Defender through Carwow. Achieved over £5k more than WBAC and Motorway. Staff were very professional (and due to mods mine was priced over list). Car collected two days later, payment bagged before it left the driveway - completely hassle free tbh.
I have not used CarWow but I did use Motorway to sell my wife's 1 series and they were brilliant. Couldn't fault it at all and they offered £1.2k more than the next nearest part ex off I got from BMW, WBAC, Evans Halshaw etc. Sold in a day, collected a week later, no knock down on price and paid in full before they drove off.
Thank you, good to know

Matt don’t bin the cheap one off keep it and tell us what it’s like to live with for a period of time. What mpg you get after journeys / how reliable it is or isn’t etc. I can’t be the only person who would love an honest review of what it’s like to actually have one as a daily.
As a daily drive?
I have a 2006 Vogue that I daily and its a lovely car to use. (you just gotta be really picky and carefull when choosing one to buy) It is however not cheep on the wallet. The fuel cost is above average and IF something breaks or fails, its not cheap to repair because it is a complicated luxury car. Everything is over engineered, and when something breaks in a, lets say Dacia Duster, you need to change out one part, in the Range Rover you might need 2 or 3. This is also true of cars like the Merc ML high specs, the Audi Q7 and BMW X5 and up in the higher trims. Hell.. the early 2000 range rovers use tons of BMW M5 parts since Land Rover was owned by BMW at the time. But cost aside.. Even from 2006, the Range Rover is just so lovely to drive in town, and off road (I have taken mine to the mountains here in Iceland). Also does really well in deep snow considering how bloody heavy it is.

My company’s CEO has had both of these cars and I’ve ridden in each. The old one feels like a normal SUV and the new one was so luxurious I didn’t know what to do with all the features. What I remember most is it had 2 reading lights in the back with different shades, one with a book symbol and one with a tablet symbol. Way too fancy for me.

Great comparison between these two! It’s amazing how the Range Rover has evolved over the years! The L322 generation is a memorable one personally as it was the very first Range Rover I got to know when I was a kid. I can still remember dreaming of owning one in dark blue which is coincidentally featured in the video. Sure, the questionable reliability and massive depreciation are part of its reputation but those will never tarnish my desire to make it one of my dream cars!

7:48 you have to test door closing sound while all other doors & windows are fully closed. other open doors & windows reduce the damping somehow.
I am impressed that there is a Range Rover with 173,000 miles, and still runs!
The newer V8's with the Jag engine are actually pretty reliable (can't speak for the BMW). Being a luxury car and diesel is not a good combination, which is what most Range Rovers tend to be.
Yeah but would hate to think about the money its had spent on it over them miles!!!
Mat needs to do more of these! They're just such good videos! He should compare the old Cayenne to the new, the old X5 to the new, the old GLS to the new, and the old LX to the new

A lot improved throughout the L322's reign. I have a 2011 supercharged model and there's much less the new one has over it (the Bentley luxury aside). Even the 0-60 isn't that much better + the Jag V8 is actually pretty reliable.

Great video, can you do more old and new please car tests? Bentley, RR, Merc S class etc
For 2000 pounds, and various things that could use a fix up, that 2004 Range Rover seems like a good bargain.
It will be interesting to see the state of the new Range Rover in 20 years, and how much still works in it.
I think you know already the answer....
Great review on both , the new one is no doubt pure luxury for a business man being chauffeured around in so yes you can see the moneys worth for the tech etc . The old one is such a bargain I would love that even for its age still looks good , a bit of money spent on will look bloody good again come on for £2000 what else can you buy that good with smooth ride and ability to go off road and still look good outside a nice hotel.
brilliant video and comparison!
