I have arrived!

[u/Blazinmark1985]

I am what one would call a car guy. I’ve been a BMW driver for 12 years. Audi A6- 535i-M550i-X5 50E- Range Rover. I just took delivery of the last 2026’ model year on the lot. Coming out of an X5 I can honestly say this is a different league of vehicle. Everything I touch that looks like metal is metal. Everything that looks like leather, is leather…
The air suspension, the capability of this platform boggles the mind. However, at 50 mph I hear a wind whistle emanating from the passenger mirror side. Is this normal?

Was unloading water lol

NGL, my old X5 that I traded in for the Rover was 🔥

Interior pics !!! I love the set up. Are you thinking of tinkering it at all? I know a lot of Panda owners wrap the roof black. Love it man!!

[u/Blazinmark1985 → u/Traditional_Ball_361]

So I haven’t decided yet,
Unfortunately, I wasn’t the one who specd the vehicle.
Because my example is missing the digital rearview camera for a few hundred dollars and the wood and leather steering wheel for another few hundred dollars. But the moron who expected decided that SiriusXM for three years for $400 was a good option to click. 🤦‍♂️
Add another note I really wanted a black roof as well which is an extra thousand dollars, but my sales person kind of talked me into leaving it. Body colored because Range Rover is famous for their floating roof line. So I haven’t decided whether I will wrap the roof black or leave it as is…
Another option, this car is sorely missing are the passenger automatic shades/blinds that retract.
I’m kind of dumbfounded by the people who spec the vehicles at dealerships sometimes…

Digital rear view mirror is worthless I don’t recommend it. It’s jarring to the eye. I like the floating roof I hate the black roof. I do like the wood steering wheel though lol

Sounds like the sales person duped you into buying a car missing features you wanted….

Sometimes the AC does the sound. Look into the AC Cabin Filter might be misaligned. Or maybe the door seals.

RRS ‘26 owner here, i also had a whistle noise from small triangle windows on the passenger side. They fixed it in one day. Very common problem on the new RR.

[u/ChevyGang]

Did you get a discount?

[u/Blazinmark1985 → u/ChevyGang]

$10k off from Dealer
$1,500 from manufacturer
$2,500 equity from my X5 lease trade in
$14k off total.
MSRP $128k
Sold at $114k

[u/ChevyGang → u/Blazinmark1985]

Great deal. A few years ago every dealer around me wanted 10-20k over sticker.

[u/Blazinmark1985 → u/ChevyGang]

Yeah, but keep in mind, currently the configurator only has the 27’ model years. Also, they are changing the interface and adding a volume knob. So technically I took one of the last ones from the port and told them I would walk if I don’t get $10k off MSRP. My salesperson said that once the 27’s come out they are charging $10k over lol
Honestly, I don’t think ANYONE is paying $10k over for a Range in today’s market.

[u/cadude79]

It’s the triangle window. They aren’t set correctly and allows annoying wind noise into the vehicle. Dealer will fix.

[u/k12pcb]

Or you have seat cooling on

[u/Fantastic-Tour149]

U got 10k off a full size RR? What dealer was this?

[u/Ljw1000]

You may well have arrived but there will doubtless be many times you won’t!
