The Range Rover Sport SV is the definition of SUV. It's a 'Sporty Off-Road Utility Vehicle'Too bad the majority of SUVs are glorified station wagons (crossovers) that are neither sporty nor off-road capable.
I’ve driven some Defenders and an Evoque.They just feel heavy. You get the impression that these are cars for rich women who only go to the grocery store. It feels like they made everything so heavy with NVH stuff that there’s no way it’s actually a decent off reader.If anything, these cars are the definition of glorified station wagons.
>>29105103The Land Cruiser & Land Cruiser Prado have curb weights comparable to that of the Range Rover & the Range Rover Sport has less weight than the aforementioned SUVs.
>>29105106I don’t know, they weren’t my cars so I didn’t off road them or toss them in corners. Did a few redline runs and they’re certainly fast.To me they seem like the pinnacle of SUV bullshit. They feel more a woman’s purse than a gym suit. It’s just a large NVH-obsessed station wagon to me, they feel numb. I’m sure the Land Cruiser is similar.But, again, I didn’t drive them very hard.
>>29105097"sporty" trucks and SUVs just make no sense to me.I want a car that's quick and has sporty suspension and tires and brakes but I want it to be really tall and long and heavy such that it basically nullifies all the sporty stuff I said I wanted.I want a truck or SUV because they're more capable and practical but I want it lowered with street tires so it can't haul half as much and can't even go over wet grass without getting stuck.I also want to pay so much for a vehicle that tries to be two things and does neither thing well that I could have almost just gotten two separate things that each do their one thing perfectly.
>>29105097SUVS are for w*men and fags
>>29105130I feel the same way.Literal 1950 boomer women ruined the car industry because they have all the money and fell for the "it's a huge serious off-roader that actually handles like a go-kart on the street" line. That's not a thing, as you pointed out.Get a miata and a wrangler, boom, problem solved and you saved money.
>>29105146>Get a WranglerDO NOT DO THIS.
>>29105103Their suspension and body structure is made to take massive hits off road which explains the weight.
>>29105114jlr always ensures land/range rovers are off-road capable. it's basically the one standard the brand maintains. so yes, some models are absolutely aimed at rich women, but those models can still perform off-road, because they're land/range rovers and that's what they do. better than most 4x4s really.>>29105146>fell for the "it's a huge serious off-roader that actually handles like a go-kart on the street" line.women don't give a flying fuck about that shit. women don't even know what go-karts are. go outside and try not to be retarded all your life.
>>29105097>that low to the ground>offroad>oh and the price tagit looks nice for an SUV, but man, what?
>>29105306there is video of some kid in a range rover getting into a car war with the florida highway patrol in a black range rover and it's basically undamaged at the end of it, despite multiple pits and crashes. they go very hard. i hate women so much it's unreal.
>>29105097>off road>40 section tires
>>29105348change the tires
>>29106284Which tires specifically would you recommend upgrading to that fit on 22 inch wheels with lowered suspension
>>29106406You can increase the height of the SUV with the Air Suspension Settings.
>>29106433Great I'll just make sure to never drive my $152,000 SUV faster than 31MPH
>>29105130By your logic only 2 seater coupes and full size suvs should be the only vehicles people should buy Have you ever driven a car like the X3 M? They are really capable
>>29106433That thing currently has 32'' tall tires. If you ran that width in a 65 section which is the minimum for off roading you would wind up with an almost 38'' tall tire. You really think you're fitting another 6'' of tire in those wheel wells even with air suspension (which will likely be broken)?
>>29106488>By your logic only 2 seater coupes and full size suvs should be the only vehicles people should buyOnly if they're marketed as being able to perform a specific task. If a car is supposed to be sporty then it shouldn't be designed in such a way that actively makes it worse at being sporty. You wouldn't accept this concession with any other car. A sporty SUV is as stupid as a 2 seater minivan or a 2WD Wrangler or an electric Ferrari crossover.>Have you ever driven a car like the X3 M? They are really capableI struggle to think of a less desirable vehicle on the planet.
Theres nothing more cucked and pathetic than seeing a man driving a "performance" crossover.
>>29106577Modern Land Rovers are Crossovers, but they still retain the offroad capability.
