Refined but Not Flawless: Inside the 2025 Range Rover Sport Autobiography
In this episode, we examine the 2025 Range Rover Sport Autobiography, a luxury SUV that combines smooth performance and a commanding view with serious capabilities: adaptive off-road modes, air suspension, real fording depth, and a notable EV-only range on the plug-in hybrid. The highlights are impressive—ride quality, quiet cabin, thoughtful loading aids—while the weaknesses are human-centric: a high step-in without helpers, a stubborn touchscreen, and controls that should be better at this price point. It’s modern, tasteful, and above average, yet still seeking top-tier user-interface refinement.

After lawsuits, a cash infusion, and a restructuring into Bollinger Innovations, the company is consolidating manufacturing and cutting costs while competing in a crowded field of medium-duty commercial EVs. The lesson is clear: auto manufacturing rewards those who can scale repeatable quality at a price buyers are willing to pay; everyone else runs out of runway.
