MY DISCOVERY 5 - The best family car? (HSE LUXURY full ownership review 2021)

I have owned my discovery 5 HSE luxury for 2 years now and I think it is probably the best family car on the market today. In this video I talk through what i love about the Land Rover Discovery 5 and what has gone wrong with my discovery 5. If you're looking to buy a Discovery you have to watch this video! The new Discovery 5 drives like a Range Rover Vogue or Range Rover sport with all modern comforts and more. If you choose the HSE luxury option you also have the Land Rover rear entertainment system.
Having owned a Discovery 4 this car is miles apart being a much more upmarket SUV. The Discovery 5 is a very capable off road car but also a perfect 7 seater family car.

Thanks Yun- Very exciting- the new infotainment looks so much better in the 2021 Disco

Nice bit of kit Doc. Good video as always

Thanks, appreciate it

[@joeweber1971]

Really helpful, thanks. Need to replace my 2019 Touareg with a seven seater and this review sealed the deal. Also very gratifying to hear that small technical glitches irk other people too! My Touareg (famous for the tech) repeatedly forgets my home address, drives me nuts!

[@thedoctorsgarage]

Thanks Joe, really pleased to hear you found it useful. I absolutely love my D5 despite the issues I have had!

[@benpenrice765]

Just put a build deposit on a D250 R-Dynamic! It was close between that and the new Defender but the styling and interior of the Disco won it for me. So much more luxurious and the practicality is unrivalled. I can’t wait!!!

[@mpalmer4604]

I just purchased 2020 a few months ago here in the US. Couldn’t find a 2021 anywhere due to production shortages because of Covid and actually had a difficult time finding the 2020. I absolutely love it. I was concerned because I’ve always driven a large suv, but the way this car handles and the AWD feature as well as how it looks completely outweighs that concern for me. BTW, I love the uniqueness of the license plate placement in the tailgate. Absolutely love this car so far!!!! Great video.

[@mpalmer4604]

It does drink a lot of gas however. More so than my previous Tahoe.

[@thedoctorsgarage]

Thanks for your comments -really appreciate it. I love mine too and glad to hear you’re also a lover of the the side numberplate 👌🏼

[@NetMillionaire]

Superb video review and I agree with you a truly superb 4x4. I own the discovery HSE 2019, and it’s also the 2 litre version. I never tested the 3 litre as when I tested this 2 litre I was blown away by its comfort and plenty of power, in fact I was supremely impressed by its performance for such a big car! I also love the look too. I’ve only had a slight problem with the drivers side window which would not work for a couple of hours. But solved itself. The space is huge I get my mountain bike in the back with the seats down, and can go anywhere I want in super luxury! I’ve now done 6,600 miles and it’s been super. It’s great value and really takes some beating! I’m thinking about the new 2021 version as it has updated the entertainment system but I’m also considering the Range Rover SVA, for more prestige and power.

[@thedoctorsgarage]

Thanks Simon really appreciate your comment - Range Rover SVA sounds like a nice choice next!

[@mislead1070]

Dont you think a 2litre is too small for such a gigantic car? Which can hawl 7 passengers in utmost comfort as well as tow amazing weights? And i guess that 2litre is a 4cyl and not a 6cyl???

[@OMARederGETME1kORELSE]

The 2 litre needs to be serviced regularly,motors can easily blow on them, ours blew at 51k miles after we bought it at 42k, jst make sure to service every 6k miles and make sure anything mechanical is done by land rover or a trusted mechanic

Great video, really interesting to hear. I just can’t believe the type of issues JLR cars sometimes have more than average, like your engine issue, that’s a pretty big issue.. same with the suspension. Those type of things really shouldn’t ever happen! I love the idea of a JLR car like a Disco, but I think I’d just be nervous about whether I’d wake up with problems every couple months.

[@thedoctorsgarage]

You’re completely right! It’s certainly put me off a bit even though I do love the car

[@stuartmackenzie2066]

We moved to the 5 from the 4. We have a 2 young daughters and a German shepherd. My wife and I have discussed what car we would go for next and there really isn't anything out there that has same room/comfort. I think well be potentially order the 2021 soon. Although having spec'd one there is no option now for rear entertainment! Really enjoyed the video 👍😃

[@thedoctorsgarage]

Thanks for your comment Stuart really appreciate it. Completely agree I can’t think of another car that matches everything the D5 has. I had a 4 too - the 5 just brings everything together so well, new interior on the 2021 model looks great!

[@ukcarver]

Now this is how reviews should be., really good. By the way a free of mine had a Three year old from new Jaguar XJ with 3 Ltr. Engine that gave up just out of warranty, after a big battle with Jaguar they agreed to put a new engine in.

[@thedoctorsgarage]

Thanks! Really appreciate it 🙏🏼 that’s great they decided to pay for it out of warranty!

[@dkmont1]

Great video. I have an April 18 reg HSE Lux 2.0, very similar to you that I bought as an approved used in Dec 2018. I had the oil leak, leaking front window, faulty rear camera, numerous replacement door handle lock covers and the usual media glitches. However, despite this it is a fab car and I don’t want to change it. I was considering the extended warranty but the price does seem steep. The worry of course is something else goes wrong and the price even higher.....

[@thedoctorsgarage]

Thanks for your comment, yes agree great car... I too have my fingers crossed nothing else goes on it! 🤞🏼

[@dipladonic]

You are right, they don't. But there's no better mix of utilitarian luxury than the Discovery 3 or 4.

[@shepchester3567]

A very helpful video, thank you. You mentioned about it being a tricky car, re manoeuvrability and parking, would you know how it compares to a current model RR Sport? I'm changing mine latter this year, and don't really want something that's noticeably more cumbersome, especially as I don't really need the full breadth of the Disco's practicality anymore. But I do still like the look of it.

[@thedoctorsgarage]

Hi Shep thanks for the comment- In all honesty I don't think it's that much worse than a RR sport- the boot is way bigger so it's taller at the rear but actually driving it I don't think you'll notice a negative difference

[@shepchester3567]

@@thedoctorsgarage Thank you for getting back to me. I suspect your probably right. I compared them on LR's wed site, they're the same width, the disco is bit longer, and of course taller. what was surprising, the Disco is slightly faster 0-60 in the D300 flavour, even though its heavier! I wont be complaining if I get one, but would of thought the "Sport" would of been a fair bit faster, for obvious reasons?

[@aslankarnuf]

Great video, thank you. What do you think of the 2021 model? I’m looking at the 3 liter

[@thedoctorsgarage]

I do like the 2021- the interior is much better. I think if I was to buy again it would be the 3L

[@highlandmalt6368]

@ 14:30 apart from [the engine self destructing, the rear suspension failing, the engine leaking oil] mechanically it's been fine! For anyone considering this vehicle, never - ever - buy a land rover product outside of a manufacturer's warranty. JLR recently admitted poor build quality is costing them a lot in lost sales. Great design, but I wouldn't even consider one, let alone a used one.

[@thedoctorsgarage]

the extended warranty does cover a lot though to be fair

[@highlandmalt6368]

@@dartanianrubanne3394 to be honest, I don't really rate the xc90 either, awful engines, dreadfully dull, horrible central screen in dash that has to control everything- albeit reasonably well made. I think 2015 onwards Q7 is a better bet. But it isn't an off roader of course- that is one thing you can't take away from LR - it's just such a shame they're screwed together poorly from cheap components.

Hi great video.just a query the disco 4 you had did you have any problems with that car heard the propshaft breaks . Thanks

[@jerrygreene7139]

[@3204clivesinclair]

Amazes me how JLR simply appear to be unable to improve it quality/reliability issues for many years - different Managers, quality systems, factories, etc, etc. They still can’t solve their issues

[@thedoctorsgarage]

👌🏼

[@ACD54]

I've had a 2005 Disco 3 for many years - it gets very little use these days, mainly as a tow truck, but I still love driving it - and I laughed out loud at the comments about electronics. Exactly like mine - especially the cruise control: sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, completely arbitrarily. I mainly drive a BMW X3 and when it comes to its replacement the quality of the Land Rover electronics is likely to be a deal breaker - otherwise I'd get a Disco 5 like a shot.

[@nicksmith8513]

I’ve got the same car, same age, only the 3L. I absolutely love it! Had a new windscreen because of a leak and an adjustment to the boot because of misalignment but otherwise it’s been brilliant. I struggle with the TVs tbh - I didn’t know you could watch stuff off the web I will have to learn how to do that. Oh, one other issue - I have the top end wheels that look great but are peeling!! 😖 I must figure out what to do about that! The drive, the looks, sports mode, 7 seats, the space, the driving position, the amount of gadgets in the lux are all amazeballs. I’ll never have a better car in my opinion. The kids love it too.

Great video. I am from Canada and a preowned 2021 discovery 3.0 V6 took my all attention when I analyzed the overall package being offered. -Spacious. -Adequately punchy engine. -Flying carpet ride feel. -Value for money as German competitors are quite expensive. but there are a few reasons which are making me confused to buy this SUV: -Super low resale value. -Reliability issues. If I am spending close to $85k plus a 7.99% rate of interest, I would like to keep the car for the next 7-8 years as its a hefty amount. I am scared to keep this car after its warranty lapses in 2025.

[@kizzyp2735]

Would be interested on hearing your thoughts on the Velar ?

[@thedoctorsgarage]

I had one for a while (whilst this discovery was having its engine replacement)) it felt a lot more car like to drive than the discovery but wasn’t as big as I thought it was going to be. Great looking car with the dynamic kit on though

[@kizzyp2735]

@@thedoctorsgarage We have had ours just under two years now from new . Absolutely love it . Agree it is more car like but with the dynamic pack and 21" alloys the styling is just awesome . My only gripe is the servicing costs for the 3.0 V6 are huge .It is to be expected over the 2.0 litre models , but prior to the Velar we have has a succession of 3.0 V6 Audi's and the servicing costs were nowhere near with those.

[@ksks4205]

Worth mentioning that I would also avoid the 2017 model as it has design issue when it comes to the climate control settings (one blower only) despite being 3 zone climate, and no third row vents standard which is very unusual for a proper 7 seater car plus what was mentioned in the video (updated cockpit)

[@thedoctorsgarage]

Interesting- yes the digital cockpit is a must I feel- really updates the interior and easy to miss in the 2017 year

2ltr is good but most definitely a few problems, BUT the 3ltrs are very pron to blowing up as well ! A lot of videos online about them.. probably the reason why I’d be very nervous to buy one, but I do really love the look of them but not the balls or wallet to buy one.

[@thedoctorsgarage]

Thanks for your comment Al-appreciate it. It’s bad news when the engines are blowing up! At least like me you like the looks-so many people are put off by the rear plate offset

[@MePeterNicholls]

If I get one the two import features are (the seat automation) adaptive cruise control and terrain control 2 (hi/low and lockable rear diff). Ok that’s 4.

[@EarthRover]

The virtual cockpit has 2 virtual gauges that try to look like the analog gauges. I kinda like the analog gauges to be honest.

[@thedoctorsgarage]

That’s true but you can also have a few other layouts including a full widescreen map which is good for navigation

[@munobaby]

I have 3 young kids. I'm curious to know what the middle seat is like for adults, if there is two group 2/3 child seats on either side? Also has anyone got experience of fitting 3 child seats side by side in middle row?

[@jacobspencer5125]

Nice to look at, nice to drive.. but my word owning a LR Discovery is a painful journey; the build quality and service centres experience is hard work. We have given 2 Disco 5's back and the third is better but still some electronic niggles (boot doesn't always open) and the dealer cant find the fault.

[@thedoctorsgarage]

So frustrating!

[@franslindwall293]

I got a used 2017 tdv6 about a month ago and it is really lovely to ride in and looks great. My biggest concern is the inner boot flap, which won't fold down or up. It has to pulled manually which is a bit of a nuisance. Anyone knows if this is a common issue?

[@thedoctorsgarage]

Not sure about that one Frans- haven’t heard of it being an issue but sounds like it could be a relatively easy fix at a good independent garage

I recently had a very unpleasant episode with my Disco 5. The steering rack failed whilst cornering causing me to have an RTA. I claimed on my insurance for body and mechanical repair. 14 weeks in to repair and I am still awaiting return. Very long parts wait from LR (steering rack, suspension arms and subframe). Can anyone advise if I have a legitimate claim against LR as I have excess to pay on my insurance claim and the car is now devalued as it has been in an accident. I understand that this fault has been recognised with other LR models that have been recalled but not the Discovery 5.

I have stick on magnetic panels to protect her gorgeous paint from intrusive shrubbery, and I have to say, driving it off road is as fun as on... its nigh unstoppable. IMHO (I am biased) Its the peak 4x4 LR have made. I did have a Range Rover Vogue SE on lease for a couple of years, but, when the lease ended, I returned it. Was a 4.4 SDV6... I sometimes miss that beast, but, the only modern LR that tickles me now is the Defender. When the Disco 4 hits 100,000 (it hasn't even done 50,000 yet) I may consider a Defender to replace.

[@haanjamiis]

2 liter engines fail too? 3 liter engines snap cranks btw. Started from Discovery 3 and they still snap in D5. This is the most negative thing about Discoverys . Yes some LR lackey says it's about 2% failure rate but it seems to be bulsh**. It's pretty much lottery. No regular oil changes will prevent this. It's failure in design (combined with the weight of the vehicle). And even if you replace the engine, it still may fail. The flaw is not fixed. I have Disco4 (with replaced engine). It's brilliant car until it works. But Land Rover has to fix the quality issues. New Defenders are failing left and right too. It hurts the brand severely. Land Rover has pretty bad reliability reputation.
