2015 Land Rover Discovery Sport Snowy Icelandic Off-Road Review in TFL4K

[@markguox]

Great video Roman, especially the river crossing part (kudos to the person in charge of mixing in dramatic music, nice touch). Iceland looks stunning, you lucky SOB!

[@greggScutum]

One of the most beautiful videos you've ever made. Congrats for the great and honest review :)

[@metallicademon]

The production value is great. Y'all have really stepped up.

[@lffit]

My favourite from the range, small good looking and obviously very capable!

[@jpqch7323]

And unreliable too, dont forget it.

[@ericheydenreich2846]

Thanks for sharing, absolutely awesome scenery for a car shoot!

[@NordicNevs]

Ok that's an awesome intro.

[@brain96969]

Impressive and beautiful car

[@argentus5483]

Nice video , nice car , congratulations !!! I like this car how it show , because it looks like Evogue , but much more powerful, much more spacious.

[@Vincent2wice]

Holy shit... I thought the car was just parked in the background and while the man was speaking to the camera tha car started falling thru the ice and into the river lol. I swear it looks like no one was driving at first

[@88supra719]

Dude I am dead... That was outright fucking funny 😂

[@sugonmaballs]

What part? I missed it.

[@attilag.1320]

sugonmaballs at the very beginning

[@sugonmaballs]

Jacque Skiison Ahh, I didn't think that at all since it was moving from the very beginning, I knew it was intentional.

[@Vincent2wice]

+sugonmaballs near the begining when the rear wheel goes up in the air lol

[@yasaswy]

OMG that music and iceland fits awesome. Have to say a better looking sturdy version of Ford Explorer(front looks same) for about the same price. Nailed it for the mid range market.

[@jerrymyahzcat]

Just remember to call it by it’s full name. Discovery Sport. It’s not a Discovery they are a totally different larger vehicle. The Sport moniker is not a sub-model like titanium or limited it’s actually part of the name. A Discovery Sport is new line of vehicles. The driving position in the Discovery Sport IS a Command driving position (didn’t you read the spec sheet) with rear stadium seating 2” higher than the front seats. Additionally the Haldex implementation on this vehicles does not wait until slip is detected before sending power to the rear. It’s a proactive system and sends power rearward before slip (it will also do it with slip) but when you accelerate power is sent to all wheels and in certain off-road modes it does it much more aggressively. I own one of these vehicles.

[@lawfin14]

Should just do an Iceland video. Must have been a great experience.

[@cloud2355]

THANKS FOR 4K

[@OverlandTT]

It maybe priced to compete with the Grand Cherokee in the USA, however it's capability and credentials are more inline with the new Cherokee.

[@bigleemac]

Bit disappointed LR didn't go further with this, a proper "Mini" Discovery would have been great with the air suspension, proper 4WD etc of its bigger brother, this is just a slightly bigger Evoque

[@jaman585]

would have loved to meet you guys. TFL fan from Iceland

[@gadgetryworld]

i think at the start, sport was being driven and tested by fifth gear?

[@NordicNevs]

I would mortgage my home for a defender lol. Maybe not but I could see that doing well this side of the pond. Is it the emissions that prevent it from coming this way?

[@tylerhensley3639]

What's the name of the song starting at 1:19

[@tylerhensley3639]

If anyone knows

[@Rhinomssy]

+Tyler Hensley spaceora is the name of the song. It's on KZbin

[@DazdnCofuzd]

You sound like your a little cold over there!! :)

[@GoneJeepinUwharrie]

Only 8.3" of clearance? That sucks. Though, I guess some of the speed humps out at the local mall can be almost 6" tall, so it might come close to using it sometimes lol

[@Dwealdric]

Gaming 4 Ohio Gameplay's & More Yes. 10 inches to the lowest point of the dif. It can also fit 34" tires with no mods, has solid front and rear axles, a front and rear locker, front swaybar disconnect, rock rails, and can actually flex. If you think a heavy ass LR4 will out wheel a Rubicon, you need to do less crack.

[@GoneJeepinUwharrie]

Dwealdric Yup

[@Dwealdric]

Glen Wright I think you meant the other guy :p

[@GoneJeepinUwharrie]

Dwealdric lol, yup, I fail at KZbin haha

[@GoneJeepinUwharrie]

Gaming 4 Ohio Gameplay's & More Just because it's the littlest doesn't mean I'm not disappointed. I was hoping for more like the LR4 than like a normal crossover. I welcome you to bring your LR4 to where I wheel with my Wrangler any time :)

[@billwilmington8284]

I think I'd lease it.

[@NYRIKAN]

THATS A NICE FORD EXPLORER ..WHERE DID YOU GET IT?

[@zackarylading9666]

This would be the same engine that is in the ford line up correct? My dad has a fusion with the this engine and we both agree it's an awesome engine!!!

[@freakincrazy6932]

Wonder if the lease will be more expensive than evoque

[@ΡΑΠΤΑΚΗΣΔΗΜΗΤΡΙΟΣ]

For icelandic f roads and river crossings this or the new land cruiser?

[@yippie6862]

Why would anyone give this thumbs down?

[@webes8510]

1:17 song please

[@LlyleHunter]

If they've flown you to Iceland wouldn't they have flown you up here and not down from almost anywhere?

[@1guyin10]

Elevation-wise most places are "down" from Denver so the wording is understandable.

[@LlyleHunter]

1guyin10 And everyone is high in Denver now that it's legal!

[@jonathonmarks]

At 10.05 there are two people in the discovery but when you cut to the inside shot at 10.06 there is only one.

[@leadnsteel]

I wish they would have air suspension on these suvs. That way if you want to go off road just lift it. If you want better mpg lower it. It would be the best of both worlds.

[@bighands69]

If people what that then they can go for the Land Rover Discovery.

[@TheHoth1]

I was there a couple months ago. Never seen a Land Rover there.

[@aakeister]

this is NOT the replacement for the LR4, the Discovery will replace that. this is the replacement for the Freelander or LR2

[@ericacourtney8088]

and what music is this?!!! ITS AMAZING I MUST KNOW IT PLEASE???

[@Rhinomssy]

Spaceora is the name of it

[@smokeybear45]

Why does this SUV remind me of an ford explorer

[@curtis7480]

Because only u can prevent forest fires

[@drakore244]

***** Not sure if you're trolling, or an idiot. The Explorer came out in 2011, this is 2015.

[@francoisdesmarquis8548]

Almost the same as an old explorer..

[@LP-SV-fl7hm]

because ford always borrows the designs of landrover both inside and out...in other words ford copies it

[@tannerhash8545]

Land Rover and Ford both used the same designer so they transferred elements just like if you got in an Explorer and the drove the Lincoln equivalent

[@abigsplash]

Up here, not down here.

[@greglaurence7707]

Subaru Forester xt. Eyesight and xmode 8.7" ground clearance with 250hp. As good as it gets for 37k in Canada.

[@bighands69]

I would say that the Subaru Forester is better as well. But this Land Rover would still be very capable and worthy of the money.

[@run2jazz22]

Has the reliability change? If not then it is still a $100,000 lemon!

[@metalmicky]

What do the Icelanders drive ?

[@MrKeyboardCommando]

0:11 : I thought the Disco was going to have a piss !!!

[@kevinalan1335]

For a true test of the Discovery Sports credibility you will have to get away from the dangerous and unpredictable landscape of Iceland and get one on an American Land Rover dealership rock course. Nothing is more demanding than a purpose built track that demonstrates the terrain response without pushes these trucks past their capabilities. Plus the dealership course is funner than a trip to Dave & Buster' s. I can see Nathan giggling like a schoolboy. P.S. The music makes me feel like I've fallen into some dystopian dream that has left me pondering the existence of reality itself.

[@mcswabin207]

This is the equivalent of a rail game. You can't lose. You just followed the script created by the designer

[@goatmonkey2112]

Well it looks pretty nice. That's about it though. I have a hard time getting excited about a company that until very recently used engines designed in the 1950s. Plus they have been consistently at or near the bottom of reliability and quality ratings for decades. I don't know how it has such a reputation as a good off road vehicle. It's nice that it can drive over a lot of terrain, but what are you supposed to do when you get deep into the wilderness and it breaks down?

[@dchawk81]

Back in the day you would pull the lace from your right shoe and fix it. Nowadays, I dunno.

[@bighands69]

Land Rover are over their reliability issues. And the only manufacturers that were better than them are Toyota and Mercedes. But modern budget Mercedes are no more reliable than Land Rover. A Mercedes M class is not more reliable or better performing off road than A Land Rover. Take a discovery (comparable to Mercedes M class) it would be able to drive anywhere where as I could not say the same about an M class.

[@gdawg809]

+bighands69 the 2014 JD Power results show Land Rover second from the bottom in reliability. Most owners will need to stick to the Land Rover rule of two. Buy two Land Rovers so you can drive one while the other is in the shop. 😄

[@GeorgeAusters]

Trust me, the parts especially the interior parts are not good quality or expensive inside a range rover or jaguar. I used to work for the company who made the interior veneers and they were made in china and then were colored in with a felt tip pen if there was any contamination on them lol! I would not recommend a jaguar or a landrover to anyone.

[@Opine.Social]

Looks like there are couple of "Old Geysers" in this clip

[@timlin4894]

a 4runner can easily out perform this

[@1guyin10]

Of course it can. The Discovery Sport is basically an AWD car. The Disco will make it to the grocery store in the snow with no worries, but then that is all it will really ever have to do.

[@aakeister]

Well, I have driven a 4 runner. Hateful car, got bogged down on wet grass, complete crap car. Any Land Rover pisses on the 4Runner from a great height

[@8184Antonio]

Land Cruiser ftw

[@roryjones95]

Thomas Rock the regular 4runners are heavy garbage unless you aell a kidney for the trd pro

[@MrKeyboardCommando]

2:30. May I take the opportunity to introduce you all to Old Mother Mica. :-)))

[@CanDrive55]

I wonder if AutoMoto Tube knows their music has a new home.

[@Soob4ME]

When Subaru introduced the Crosstrek hybrid, they tested it in the same country, through rivers just as deep, during a legit blizzard. They had jacked up Land Cruisers on balloon tires tagging along to drag them out of snow drifts. Land Rover has turned into a sorry ass company.

[@The_Osprey]

Studded snow tires....'nuff said.

[@papas7669]

I did this in Iceland in a Dacia Duster lol....prob a fraction of the cost of the Discovery!!

[@peturkristinsson9463]

Where are the big chunks of ice that you said were floating down the river? Why don't you make it do proper off roading?

[@darrenjones3681]

Erm it’s a Discovery Sport not the new Discovery

[@kulminaator]

why is your seatbelt on when you are crossing the river ?

[@altern8ive]

with all the Titanic references maybe he wanted to go down with his ship

[@bighands69]

This river would be a very safe crossing and it would not be deep and the water flow would also be very low.

[@jd4pc]

That River crossing was super simple. Land Rover probably inspected it millions of times to make sure anyone could make it with ease.

[@altern8ive]

yes, there's no way that crossing would've been included without a full risk assessment first.

[@neil3858]

Wow! What a slap in the face for many body on frame discovery owners. Nothing special about this at all.

[@mikewill3176]

Looks like a explorer in the back but nevertheless still a nice car.

[@malavpatel77]

ford did copy them what can they do?

[@mikewill3176]

malavpatel77 I remember the last small range rover I believe wasn't the evoque but a bit bigger was just a rebadged explorer.

[@valcom111t]

Mini Moto The latest Range Rover looks a bit like the Explorer, but that's because it was designed by the same person. Very different cars mechanically.

[@NoushWiz]

Mini Moto

[@MrSkyentist]

Is it just me or does this look strangely like the 2016 Ford Explorer? And 8.3 I inches of ground clearance? That's less than a jeep renegade. Kind of sad honestly. Would wanna take this on anything past a dirt road or one of the flood bridges we have not too far from here.

[@robrobitaille6303]

No interior shots? Would have been nice to see the dashboard 👎

[@rachetbomber2]

My tacoma can cross that little river with out a problem. I like range rover/ land rover but they should of made the test track harder than this

[@bighands69]

This is a casual off Road Vehicle that can do off road quite well. That river is not as easy as it looks but at the same time it is not meant to be super hard either.

[@LarryC213]

I don't mean to be crass, but did Land Rover charge you for the damaged drivers seat? In all honesty, this was a route that appeared to be hand picked, graded, and something that pretty much any all wheel drive could have handled. And one last question, was Nathan upset that he did not get to go and see all the beautiful Icelandic blondes?

[@2580jas]

for some reason this car reminds me of the ford explorer

[@drums4life555]

I just don't get why they had to turn the Discovery into an overpriced Ford Edge with a Focus 2.0 turbo engine. It's embarrassing for anyone who owns the discovery 1,2, 3 or 4. The Evoque and Range Rover Sport (aka Ford Escape and Explorer) are already enough mall crawler for Land Rover.

[@MrSindhavjay]

range rover discovery!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@quavohuncho6156]

Colour name plz

[@breckenkollmorgen6027]

Hi

[@gabrielgagne2004]

Now I want to go to iceland, hopefully not with one of these vehicles though

[@nigmosh65]

Why not?

[@gabrielgagne2004]

It was kind of an harsh joke, its a nice vehicle its just not for me I can see why it's attractive.

[@veemacks7255]

They barely even showed any of Iceland. Trust me, there's a hell of a lot more awesome stuff than they showed.

[@hungryboy424]

Noticed they have studded tyres fitted...cheating ! plus i bet they would not cross that river back the way they came in to it ? it's all a little one sided by Land Rover do you not think !

[@edgardoamado7008]

That water wasn't that deep come on .....

[@hayden1308]

I lost interest when I heard the word Haldex..

[@djmay9859]

Grand cherokee

[@208230706]

Look like a ford Explorer

[@colinashby3775]

my d1 can do this

[@Insanity_Crow]

My moms Honda Civic SI can do that. /s

[@revampted]

ford explorer

[@francoisdesmarquis8548]

But.... a grand cherokee is so much better...

[@todlindley8101]

Exit has been Pre dug via excavator and it looks like a nice uniform exit ramp put in there !! yet another overpriced ugly POS from LR

[@jpolcgigas]

Ohuhjjg

[@ShaunJW1]

Sorry, but Land Rover screwed the interior and exterior design up....

[@bighands69]

For 30K the interior is just perfect. The exterior is beautiful again for a 30K car.

[@ShaunJW1]

bighands69 What happened to the Range Rover interior dosing, its so much better than this?

[@halldorarni22]

ShaunJW1 This is 37k and the Range Rover is 80k so of course the interior in the Range Rover is going to be a lot better!

[@0dq0]

Beautiful country. Ugly car.
