Potential new owner confused with models and specifications

Hi All,

I have tried a search but couldn't find the info I am after, I know, I'm one of those new members that is going to ask something that probably been asked lots of times before.

I am looking at purchasing my first RRS, I've narrowed my search down to a 2010-2012 model, mainly down to the revised interior which looks better, and the 3.0 V6 Diesel engine.

But I am struggling with the options on the cars, HSE cars seem more prevalent, but Autobiography seems to be the one in terms of toys.

Is there a list anywhere that I can find a complete list of standard options in the HSE and what the Autobiography gives over the HSE and what the optional extra's were on both ?

Thanks for any help.

Thanks or the replies, most of those brochures seem to be US based and don't list models unfortunately - and concentrate on V8 engines.

I've found some UK ones now but they don't seem to list what is standard on an HSE for example.

But thanks for taking the time to reply it is appreciated Smile

England 2012 Range Rover Sport Supercharged Autobiography Fuji White

If you can, go for the 2012, the electrics and audio system were slightly revised. Also I wouldn’t worry to much about what an Autobiography has over a well spec’d HSE as a lot of the gadgets on the AB are hopeless anyway, 2 tone interior doesn’t add much, the high beam assist isn’t brill and don’t bother with a sunroof. If you want the Diesel, it’s got to have a FSH and some sort of warranty with crank cover. If the warranty cost is to costly, consider the 5.0 SC as the engine has less known issues so the warranty could be less. 2019 5.0 SC SVA (Current)
2012 5.0 SC AB. Sadly written off by a campervan
23 plate Focus ST (Current)
1942 VEP Ford GPW Jeep (Willys) (Current)
1943 Whites M16 Halftrack (Current)
16 plate Eurofighter Typhoon, 2 x Eurojet engines with 20,000lbs thrust each. 1380mph

Thanks again for the recent replies everyone, you've all been super useful.

I'd love to go for the 5.0 SC, but I am trying to slow my car choices down, I'm coming from a line of M5 V10, M3 V8, M3 3.0 Turbo, Focus RS.

I had another scout around and the TDV8's around 2010 fall into my rough budget of up to £14,000. so they're next on the hit list as such. Ironically they seem cheaper than the V6 presumably less desirable, and also bizarrely 20% cheaper on insurance (for me anyway).

Cor, does that post get the prize for the longest time between joining the forum and making a first post? 3 and a half years! Welcome in to the light, friend. Bow down Thumbs Up 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

The TDV8 is the one to get. Pulls beautifully from low down and really suits the Range Rover feel. As to why it's cheaper, I guess a combination of headline fuel use figures being worse, and fear of the dreaded turbo failure. Looked after, a TDV8 is a lovely thing and doesn't suffer the crankshaft issues of the TDV6. Thumbs Up

I wish I'd kept mine when I bought the SDV6 but I couldn't justify having two on the drive. Shame as we'd done a lot of miles together. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders

Don't get me wrong, I love the TDV8 but going for a 2010 (as I did), my impression is you get a sort of red-headed step-child; it's a half-way house between the early cars and the later cars in terms of interior screens/entertainment/tech etc, so there's less options for factory upgrades, nav etc.

Doing it again, I'd have waited a bit and gone for the 5.0 SC in a 2012 car.. but you live and learn. And if you ran an M5 previously, crippling repair and fuel bills must not worry you Laughing (Part of the reason I stuck with the manual 650 and didn't go for an M6 - I'd already had some eye watering bills for the SMG-II in my previous E46 M3)

When I was looking, TDV8 2010 cars were hard to find as they are 'last of the line' - although that might have been because I wanted a black interior, and it seems like 90% of them were white/cream/beige. 2014 BMW 530d Touring, 2006 BMW 650i, 2018 Mini Cooper S

The M5 luckily was under BMW warranty so repair bills were fine (thankfully), the fuel bills however - just ouch! As much as i like the idea of 5.0 SC, it's just not practical for me or the family at this moment, as much as i really want the noise haha.
