New Top Gear RR off road review

Salisbury Nick · Nov 19, 2022

Anyone see the new TG review of the brand new RR the other day? They took it round a track in Wales. Covered a rocky river bed with the car in rock-crawler mode. It’s a far cry from my old p38.

Yes, they weren't bothered about damaging it, even at a cost of £150,000.

Also see the new models are fitted with terrain response 2 , where in auto mode u take ur feet off all the pedals , set the speed on ur steering wheel cruise control buttons then it will automatically select the best terrain settings for u

That's already a thing Kieth, check out this video showing a previous Top Gear Range Rover review:

It was pitted against a self driving US army truck, 9 years ago.

Bet it plays up more than a P38 when the electrics do get wet tho ,in that video they done there is 2 parts of that pond they went through that was the shallow one the other one is twice as deep and full of silt, I found that out myself

My FL2 TR works like that.
You can set HDC independently of TR, and go down the hill with feet off the pedals, the decent speed being controlled by the CC up or down buttons.

hi mate

Must confess didn’t realise at first I could also do that on the D3 , saw a video some where regarding that setting

Seems the newer models are taking away the fun of learning how to properly drive off road by knowing what’s going on in different conditions etc and what skills are required to drive off road

think some of their first thought processes are to fit bigger tyres, lol

Not exactly related to this thread but thought I would mention there is a YouTube video which is a compilation of L322s being driven offroad I warriors settings from mud to hard rock, often with street tires. Pretty interesting
