Land Rover Discovery review | Land Rover's all-new SUV tested on and off-road | Autocar

[@xXwhat1100Xx]

wow, before the video got underway I commented "ugly rear-end". By the end of the video I retracted my statement and can appreciate the new look

[@sweetfreedomGB]

krosh ..No.. you were right first time, the rear is hideous!

[@YourLoyalDeserter]

Yeah, who thought that was a good idea?

[@mikeymarmalade]

I think it is really nice but then I have taste

[@jaypea2930]

British car journalists always go for European cars. So we weren’t expecting you to be favourable.

[@nickb-]

Sorry, after the reliability problems with my Discovery 4 it would take something amazing to get me into another Land Rover.

[@gowthamoleti1359]

So the new Discovery is no longer a Camera Car.

[@VWkid4life]

But the new Defender will be.

[@HG504X]

It looks so ahead of its time, as though its a 2019 model or something. Insane.

[@gregmayled]

I love this car so much. I personally adore the aesthetics

[@VWkid4life]

I love. Love. Love the Disco 3 and 4's. At first I wasn't to key on the new design of the Disco5. However after seeing one in person I am a fan and soon to be new owner. Put my deposit down.

[@Weasel4Fun]

Paul Thiel Took the 2.0l diesel?

[@VWkid4life]

I ordered the 3.0 V6.

[@Weasel4Fun]

Cool, do you think 2.0l diesel doesn't cut it?

[@VWkid4life]

In the states the diesel is a little more expensive and I already have a diesel Defender and the new Disco will be my daily driver and gas is just easier to come around so I just went with the gas model.

[@Weasel4Fun]

Aha ok, thanks for the replies and to many miles with Disco!

[@ZeeBri]

I hate how it looks but at least they know who's mainly buying their cars. School run mums will love it.

[@hanifmacca]

those sweeping drone shots are sweet!

[@jackdolah2031]

Best car channel ever!

[@StephenButlerOne]

Not looked at discos since the late 90s early 2000s, when did they get so expensive, and become luxury inside. They was a work horse, that you could take the kids to school in. Over the defender which was just a work horse. Sadly this is now yet another Chelsea tractor 😕

[@Supcharged]

You just discribed every modern SUV ever

[@StephenButlerOne]

Supcharged sadly your right.

[@BIGWEBB88]

I loved the old style

[@fredrickmbau2421]

I wonder is there any improvement in the terrain response control?

[@mykevenable8180]

Excellent review. The best in the business !!

[@Evilbowmaster63]

Where was this shot?

[@codyellis4933]

Joseph Schatz Utah!

[@47ambrose42jpm]

Joseph Schatz Looks like Utah

[@marinoint]

This SUV is simply too slow for its price. I know the fans would say: "It's an off-road vehicle!" Come on, in reality, how many owners of this SUV actually take it off road? And how often do they drive on paved street?

[@minibus1351]

I always found land rover interiors subpar for the price to be honest. even the range rover doesn't have a great interior at 100k. i sat in one and thought damn, the volvo xc90 is at least twice as better than this.

[@margs6838]

minibus1351 them volvo xc90s are so underrated

[@samsonokoro5036]

minibus1351 Volvo sc 90 has a better interior than the Range Rover hse or autobiography? U must be kidding right. The Volvo sc has a nice interior but is no where on the level of what's in the Range Rover. I guess you don't like the simplistic design of the range rover that's the only gripe I think any one may have. But when it comes to using premium Materials oozing quality and colour combo of leather and wood I'm sorry the Volvo is miles behind.

[@aysbg]

@samson, you can't use "simplicity of the design" as an argument because Volvo's new interiors are everything but complex.

[@samsonokoro5036]

aysbg Just thought to bring up something a few people may have gripes with the Range Rover interior design. I don't see it as a problem nor did I say the Volvo is complex as well. Just that some may prefer the layout of the buttons and all on the Volvo compared with the Range Rover. But when it comes to use of quality materials and build quality the Range is ahead by a mile.

[@minibus1351]

I've been in both of them, and volvo has arguably the most simplistic, easy to use design in the entire auto industry. Quality-wise, i'd say, yes it is up there with the Autobiography. The XC90 Inscription is covered in leather and high quality wood everywhere. It;;s build quality is also second to none. hardly any questionable materials to be seen. Have you been in both to compare? Because I have 3-4weeks of experience in both as a potential buyer.

[@vladconstanda]

What was the color name of the Disco in the video?

[@3204clivesinclair]

Please, please make these reliable! I was at the Paris launch show - the Gold one on display had the electrics fail on the stand (electric tailgate) and a couple of things inside stopped working.

[@tombeech9920]

I thin it looks great tbh 👍

[@RandomVideosFirst]

0:30 "looks like it's had a stroke at the back " savage

[@casslaw8446]

would 21-22 inch wheels versus 20 inch be ok for all season, city and highway driving?

[@drpallav1]

Great review! I am ordering one next week. What is the exterior color of this particular one you tested? I am guessing "silicon silver" but not sure.

[@twistedsolomanboy]

great review, this is how top gear grand tour and fifth gear should do their job as motoring journalist programs

[@denmark39]

It’s true what he said about British reviews..only In British reviews you hear comparisons to a Jaguar when they drive an Audi or something.. jaguar is a rare sight in most part of the world

[@yardelli]

Why the need for constant Japanese Video Game background music?

[@samsonokoro5036]

Incredible interior I have to say, really impressed. Not a fan of that rear design, could have been much better and they would have had a perfect top performing Suv

[@TodunOlusola]

dunno about the new design, but I think I will warm to it, not so sure about the missing rear wheel, and lack of V8

[@FRP1988]

Is the USDM Discovery Sport the same car as this Discovery?

[@whoischxse]

Nope different car. This is an all new vehicle that we will get in the US!

[@goatmonkey2112]

I was saying the same thing. It looks exactly the same as a Discovery Sport, but the back may be a few inches longer. I'm trying to figure out why people are talking about this like it's a brand new design.

[@goatmonkey2112]

Here we go. On the Land Rover website, the wheelbase goes from 107.9 to 115 inches. The total length goes from 180.7 to 195.6 inches. So it's just slightly bigger on all of the dimensions. They offer V6s on the Discovery and the sport only gets a 4 cylinder. It seems like one called Sport should get more power. Maybe that's just me.

[@jamiep61]

Great Review of a Great SUV

[@fredrickmbau2421]

I really loved the discovery 4 box shape... This one kinda looks more like a Range Rover

[@PorscheCayenneLover]

I miss the previous Discovery... especially the 5.0-liter V-8 :/ .

[@Algy1111]

Thank you I liked your review and was pleased to see how the new discovery it has improved in so many ways except for the looks I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder but the new design has turned a very distinctive look with a lot of presents to something really quiet bland

[@sotossocratous]

I like the design - it grows on you. I have the disco 4 but I think the new vehicle betters it in nearly every way which it should do as the disco 3/4 is a 12 year old model. As far as comparing it to the competition it certainly more practical than your Audi Q7(very bland looking car) or BMW X5 ( needs updating and still not practical enough). I like the Volvo XC90 but I think the Discovery edges it out. Actually I would go as far as to say that it is the best all rounder that Land Rover builds.

[@vladconstanda]

totally agree! i too have the lr4 and even though i've had a few problems with it, i'd still buy the new disco. Can't seem to find a better suv from all there is.

[@zeus-mn9nf]

what's the background music?

[@Supcharged]

I still think disco 3 is the best looking disco

[@MAGirlable]

Excellent off road until it breaks. I'm getting a truck as an offroader after no end of problems with my last Land Rover. Car was in the dealership for repairs 10+ times over 3 years. Glad to be rid of it.

[@benpark1712]

Our family are thinking of buying one in Australia. How's the reliability of the new Land Rovers?

[@shakir4969]

like they should. Better than the german car but behind Japanese car

[@margs6838]

mohd shakir What evidence do you have to prove this statement?

[@lovrelozo2193]

mohd shakir not really

[@lovrelozo2193]

mohd shakir land rovers were never too reliable unfortunately

[@Olivereo02]

Croatian Thinker ado u have one? Probably not, we've got a fully speced Range Rover autobiography and had no problems

[@NubletPie278]

God it's horrible, the rear shape is like a Ssangyong and the overall look is like they've taken a Range Rover Sport and asked "how can we make it look a bit more utilitarian" rather than made an actual utilitarian car from the start. That towing feature is fantastic though and it does look very practical. Also if it's not body on frame, does that not hinder the off-roading? It feels a lot more like a 7-seat RR Sport than a Discovery.

[@Cafferssss]

I'll take a defender, hopefully the new one is worth it, god I love my td5 so much

[@mrkruger5108]

FantasticMr.Fox Oh fuck they are terrible

[@tckzcombatcrew5625]

I'd love this car so much more if they sorted out its ass!! if the plate was in the centre and the windscreen was sloped, it would suit it far more.

[@JuanGarcia-zq5tp]

Too many SUVs, I understand different sizes for cars, hence more rear room and boot space. But in an offroader you already have pleanty of space in say a Discovery Sport. This Discovery is very posh, isn't the higher end of Land Rover getting crowded with the Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, and now this?

[@NuclearGrizzly]

The new Discovery is the first Range Rover in a while (for America anyway) with an available wheel that will accommodate an actual all terrain tires

[@davidbest1]

NuclearGrizzly *Land Rover

[@NuclearGrizzly]

David Best Sorry. I got excited about a Land Rover that I can actually use to get to some property I own in West Texas. The sharp rocks destroy the high performance street tires related to the other models.

[@margs6838]

I do wonder about the longevity of these small capacity, high pressure turbo cars, 240bhp from a 2.0 is a lot add 2plus tones body weight plus 3.5 tone towing weight, how reliable will it's be when it's 3 years old?

[@kayak1995]

Mar Gs not as reliable as 90s or early 2k engines, but still should do 120k+ miles without problems

[@pistonhedd]

I'll wait for Discovery 6 me thinks, hopefully it WILL be a Land Rover AKA Workhorse!!

[@whoischxse]

I wanted to hate this new discovery but i'm gonna be completely honest its not that bad

[@kuddin9021]

This would be my vehicle of choice if I had 4/5 kids.

[@Kaymen1980]

It looks horrendous...

[@the-boring-car-guy]

I just don't like that front end but otherwise great

[@golferchin76]

Land Rover really lags behind German and Swedish manufacturers.

[@hedydd2]

It will grow on people, just like the 'Postman Pat' Discovery3 did. Can't say I'm a fan of the backend design, either from the back or, especially from the side. Mercedes did that side style back in 1999 on its ML model and I didn't like it then and I still don't like it. I went to a LR dealer around New Year time wanting to buy a Discovery 5, and I'd configured it beforehand and knew exactly what I wanted. The saleswoman was only interested in selling a Discovery Sport though and I didn't like her and she probably didn't like me, although all she had to do was take my order. But no, that was too easy for her. The result being that I'm taking delivery of a Volvo XC90 Inscription D5 on March 1st, next Tuesday. Before anyone comments, no I don't want to tow 3.5 tons and no, I don't want to ford deep water with it. I've got a couple of other vehicles that will do all that, and I can reverse perfectly well with a trailer on with some speed and precision without fumbling about with some nobs in the centre console. I would have waited for the Discovery 5 though, as in four cylinder guise with a few extras, it is actually relatively good value for money and is no doubt a superb vehicle. Pity about the dealer though. If it was the first time that dealer has mucked me about, perhaps I would have been more persistent, but it is not. Years ago I was in the market for a Range Rover. A 2005 model. I made an initial enquiry on the Saturday and told the dealer principal that I would be up with my family on the Monday to see it. We all went. On the Monday he refused to even open the door of the vehicle he had in stock for us to look inside. So I bought a Range Rover from a more obliging dealer who has since gone out of business. The same boss is in charge today, although I didn't talk to him this time.

[@sneaky_krait7271]

They should make a landaulet version

[@azzamashoor6509]

it is a nice family car , the interior is luxurious but l am not sure about the exterior

[@nrvous309]

I have to admit, when this video first started, I immediately hated the look. I thought the ruined the Discovery, but I grew to like it by the end of the video

[@sweetfreedomGB]

The back end is absolutely hideous!

[@error404blah]

I'd still have a Q7 over this.

[@givewai]

Overall, I like the looks but the back does look like it its had an actual stroke or Bell's palsy.

[@Br1anuk]

What happened to the sides!!!!!!!!!

[@oneuniqueusername]

Everyone I know who knows cars, says to me how unreliable Land Rovers are. What do you guys think? I wanted a Discovery. They look cool but they seem to have a reputation. Comments please!

[@pk8035]

I went wtf at 4:57

[@timberlinecline3667]

Land Rover got that towing thing from Ford

[@detective3728]

BBC gonna be happy now...

[@BenJamin-rt7ui]

@3.53 ALIEN

[@bruceburns1672]

There is something about the back half of the car that does not sit well, it looks like it has broken springs and has lifted up higher than it should be and that section aft of back door looks out of place and fills in too much and the foreword lean looks wrong , had my bitch and now I am happy , now have yours .

[@eggbirdtherooster]

it looks hiddeous ! my god

[@highlandmalt6368]

Awful lot of stuff that can / will go wrong with this car - not one to own outside of a warranty unfortunately. And it doesnt look as spacious as the old one?

[@marcusnolan9400]

when will sun's realise that the future is hybrid ---- can land rover turn to creating some ?

[@Malc180s]

Oh probably, but who cares. The future gets here when it gets here - I'm not sure how a few hundred kilos of batteries makes this car better..

[@mikeymarmalade]

It's a lot better looking

[@vena936]

range rover discovery or sport??? Hmmm

[@bernardhossmoto]

I have been a big fan of the old Discovery and almost ordered one at the end of 2015 but stayed put when I heared it will ship not earlier than April 2016 and then the new model will have been unveiled. Well, at first I liked the new Disco but the more I see it (also in real life) the more - and this is unusual - I think it is an ugly looking car. I want a boxy old Land Rover, dammit! Also being a veteran IT guy of +25 years in business I do not like where new car designs are going. Touch screens are smeared with greasy fingers and can't be read in sunlight anymore (yeah, I've got one on my new 4x4). Give me back my switches and knobs. Seats that fold by buttons and apps? Cool, but prone to failure. When I checked out the new Disco at the Vienna car show in January it was set up with 7 seats. I wanted to lower the 2nd and 3rd rows to measure the boot and was not able to. The very nice woman from Land Rover Austria told me, that "sorry, this is not possible as the car's ignition is off". Fook that! When the warranty is over these modern cars will be scrap material. Or VERY expensive to fix.

[@sleeprelaxmusicclub5431]

i had desco 3. its shit . 70 000 ( 3 times air suspenshion was broke, 1 time all oil comes out from engine.... new engine now for 10 000 euro. and electronic block stering wheel at 80 km/h . Omg

[@josech]

Yes it's nice. But is no longer a Discovery, not a car for adventure anymore. It's a rich people stupid car now.

[@rafiulhaque8064]

What the actual flying shit were Land Rover designer smoking and inhaling when he designed this. It looks worse than a Alcatraz.

[@a.lange.]

British hippo :D Volvo XC90 miles forward!!!

[@Toyota_Land_Cruiser_Official]

Its look nice to me....

[@realsalahandchantal]

Loos like a deformed pigeon to me

[@neato24]

ill take one in green please

[@ddbhaha1529]

looks like a chinese suv.

[@charlesrogers8420]

The styling is atrocious. I'll keep my 2011 LR4 HSE.

[@KiwiMoto72]

Indian car now. Not British

[@DaN3-YT-UK]

Engine does not sound to be good . . .

[@rvsharma1]

You guys have been fooled this is Typical Tata Safari Platform based car. JLR is owned buy Sick TATA Motors

[@t-nation3110]

yh whatever now compare it to the king of suvs the TOYOTA LANDCRUISER

[@bruceburns1672]

The English people when they speak have to realize that they are difficult for the rest of the world to understand and try and speak more on a level plane instead of that stop start short sound up and down speech pattern , its actually annoying to listen too.

[@thegooglechrome2691]

FIRST

[@TheHamish757]

I agree. This thing is fucking ugly. What happened to Land Rover's styling department?

[@PipoLipo9000]

Bloody hell...the back end is so UGLY

[@loftysaltmarsh69]

How much?!!!.....and I'm a man who needs symmetry, nope to that vile arse.

[@leedstown]

very ugly big rear end reminds me of a 1990"s Sanyong

[@sweetfreedomGB]

The ugliest 4x4 on sale today

[@abishkdesai]

Landrover is an Indian company! Not British anymore.

[@DrPandemiczZ]

Still designed & built in Britain tho same as Jaguar, Aston Martin, ext
