During this presentation, we will take a 1st person look at what the vehicle is all about beginning with the start up, performance data, fuel economy, the occasional track data, and build quality. Also, I will teach you how to use most of the interior and exterior features in a detailed fashion, that before, you could only get from going to a dealership yourself! Throughout the video, I will highlight key styling and unique differences about the vehicle, any available options, and of course it would not be an enthusiast car video without the good ole engine portion with rev and exhaust note with interior and exterior perspectives. A thorough tour/review of this car designed to give others a greater overall appreciation of the vehicle.
FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE CHANNEL SEE BELOW: In this channel you will find in depth educational videos of automobiles from all over the world, presented in a more detailed fashion than ever before. Basically, this gives the viewer the chance to view the most detailed 1st person look you can get without going to an actual dealer yourself! Every video is consistent in the way I present so viewers know what to expect in my presentations. I treat every vehicle with the same respect whether a 1960 Chevrolet Impala SS or the 2012 Lamborghini Aventador. I film all types of vehicles from past, present, and future while broadening the knowledge of the automotive enthusiast. You will see everything from vintage, brand new, exotic, mainstream, old, etc. I am very proud of this channel and have built it up from amateur videos years ago to what you see today. I wanted to share my love for the automotive world with the rest of the world. Be sure to explore the massive video variety, have fun and enjoy The Driver's Seat of KZbin!

Everyone is saying how 'outdated' it looks, but I think it's looks fantastic. Tall, boxy, very uncommon. Everything nowadays is too slick and curvy

[@alanexknight9810]

yep Ur right , nowadays cars look like dog's food but this car is simple, not much gorgeous but I like it !

[@imasmokaahh806]

Yea but unreliable like most euro cars

[@ahastar1141]

They aren't that uncommon. They can be found at any high-end shopping center or hockey arena in the nicer side of town

[@saabkyle04]

+James Molyneux Agree!

[@bobbob-es3cp]

I know! I think they want generically boring 4x4s like Mercedes and Jeep. A land rover will always be just that because the British are excellent when it comes to style and reinventing style

[@flatmanlewis]

I absolutely love this vehicle. I'm so over the soft, aerodynamic, and soccer mom cross-overs. I love the bold lines and classic style. Since I'll be taking mine off the beaten path this was the only real luxury, off-road, SUV available that hasn't forgotten its roots and offered the off road drivetrain I wanted. Beautiful.

[@leo-tn3dp]

just bought this exact one over the disco 5 option. They are still quite expensive but iconic and you stand out from all the other curvy SUV's

[@epatel22]

This isn't outdated. Its simple, practical, rugged and refreshing when compared to the gimmicky nature of "modern cars". Who wants to navigate a screen just to change their volume or AC? I prefer using simple, easy to access buttons so i can focus on driving instead of trying to find where the volume button is amongst 30 other "modern" features.

people say outdated, old fashioned, blah blah. i say it's iconic lr discovery. their classic boxy high-roof suvs.

[@oreaoear]

agree

[@e70_x5_guy4]

It’s not that outdated tbh. It’s quite a nice SUV, my mum drives one, and my only complaints are the backup camera takes forever to turn on, the interior is cramped, and the seats are rather firm. It has 105k miles and it is still decently reliable (tho it has made a ticking noise since the day we got it)

[@Braselton21]

So Much Better Looking Than The New Discovery :) In 2019/2020 They should just keep this OG look and the look of the Discovery Sport. Throw the other Disco design in the bin. Absolutely horrendous alien looking car

[@LelouchVelvet]

Absolutely amazing car. Tons of interior space, amazing off road capability, great gearbox and steering/road feel, really good mpg for its weight and size, and "theater" seat placement makes it literally best 7-seater (sitting in 3rd row is as good as siting in front, which is saying something). Also really fast and has great power delivery (makes passing effortless and can tow up to 3,5 tons). This car has towed my 2,2 ton crappy off-roader few times and while sitting in discovery you can't even feel it's towing anything at all. Our family loves it. Definitely recommend it if you have a big family and need something like this (it's new price can be quite steep but getting a looked after used one is a great deal). Can't wait for new generation!

[@missingremote4388]

Second hand, well looked after and under 40k miles (forty thousand miles) how much you think these would these, 2016 discovery HSE, cost used? $30.000 $40.000 $50.000 Do you still have your land rover?

[@roykim3794]

[@mistertee5000]

Still one of my fave SUVs in terms of design, and it looks badass with that black package. I've always thought of it as a sort of poor man's G-wagen.

[@beutifoeva]

Yes G wagon

[@dirtheaddavis366]

I has always preferred the LR4s over the Range Rovers. The Boxy style is legit and the interior is pure luxury. It has a little rugged look that makes it superb. Thanks for the review!

[@IKhanNot]

I wouldn't say it looks dated at all. Sure new things are nice but new doesn't always mean better. Take the Nissan Pathfinder for instance. It used to be a tough and rugged vehicle that had an old school body on frame build. Now look at the new one, it's stylish for sure but it's basically a family sedan that sits a little higher and would never be able to handle the use you could give the old one.

[@saabkyle04]

+Djonkie Bonk I 100% agree with you. I love the LR4's boxy styling and body on frame design. It's tough, very roomy inside and drives great!

[@IKhanNot]

Vikk 54 Oh give me a break. People always act like Kyle has abandoned his viewers. What would the point be in his current format of viewing old cars that are in bad shape? "Oh let me show you a car that is in bad shape because the idiot owner didn't care for it" doesn't make sense. Now older cars that are in mint condition (which he's done plenty of if you care to search) is a different story. He does old cars but it takes time to find mint condition examples. How about this, why don't YOU take the liberty of finding Kyle good old cars to film and arrange for that to be done if you want it so badly?

[@johnciummo3299]

I own a 2016 LR4. Best vehicle I’ve ever owned. Been a LR/RR fan for years. I have owned a LR3, Disco,and a RR Sport.The LR4 is a beast. Just enough luxury and the classic styling make this vehicle a winner. Just follow the maintenance schedule and you will have a vehicle that will last for years. The new Discovery’s styling is terrible. It’s a typical soccer mom’s car. Looks like any other SUV on the road. I can’t tell you how many people have asked me to sell my LR4. Even my dealer wants to buy it back . Long live the LR4!!!!!

[@sahuvikramindia]

I like the way you open hood by going behind the camera and without obstructing view of cars. You have a unique way of presentation,your videos are much more informative than any other on youtube.Thumbs up mate,you deserve all fame ans success.

[@MrCarGuy]

Man, I've been waiting for this one. This is my "favourite" Land Rover for sure.

This car is so clean, so perfect. Such a dream car

[@WitchyWhale]

For those who keep saying that the interior is dated, some of us want familiarity and not anything too complex that you need a degree in technology to understand.

[@vikk5459]

Yeah, but people like you are few and far between. Buy a used car if you want that, the majority of us want the latest technology.

[@empowermph]

+Ianna Matney yea they targeted this round of Discovery to soccer moms, wanted to lux & sassy up the interior, but keep it the same too. familiarity weighs heavily on a design team's attraction goals.

[@malcalpha]

Bought a new lr 4 Landmark or Discovery as we call them in the Uk in May 2016 (replaced my Mercedes c class ) which was only a year old . Everything Kyle says is spot on .Love his review all i'll say is i try to find longer routes to my home when i'm in it , or any excuse to get behind the wheel ,awesome piece of kit . 3.0 Diesel , i average around 32 mpg . enough said

[@kitrocks8058]

I liked so much better when you looked at old cars to and when and tried to start cars that had been sitting forever

[@brunoAM]

Yep, good times...

[@saabkyle04]

+Kit Rocks I have some older cars coming up soon (Chrysler LHS, Honda Civic SI Mugen, etc). Problem is, like with classic cars, it's a niche. I love filming older cars, but the opportunities just aren't there. They have to be of certain quality and condition. The channel has gone toward a new direction that a lot of people enjoy, that's why it's grown the way it has. The trick is balance the type of cars filmed, a much greater variety and price points. It's hard because it's very difficult to please and do it all myself. I'll always try my best though! It's a great problem to have, so many cars to film, just not enough time to do them all.

[@CoolStuffInWeirdCars]

Hey Kyle, have you ever thought about possibly hiring an editor, giving you more time to film? Seems like then you could get all kinds of cars all the time instead of having all new cars with an older one maybe once a month. Still love the videos!

[@sprig6043]

Thanks Saabkyle I can't get a Range Rover as I have four children plus wife. I'm still disheartened but Content with the Discovery/LR4 thanks for putting me at ease!

[@temsbab1565]

My mom used to have a range rover everybody thought she was a mom whow wanted it for the school run and a grocery getter but she loved off roading and it went off road more than on road glad it was used properly just a little story my family has owned too many land rovers to count

+Autosalón 4x4 Land Rover Nice channel!

[@tomar5e115]

Ive owned 3 Land rovers, 2 Discos and now the Rangie. Absolutely love the brand. Only thing is the standard rim sizes are too big for serious offroading. 19 inch being the smallest (or 18 inch custom rims)

[@vikk5459]

I don't think Land Rover ever expects anyone to go off road. These cars typically go to the grocery store, the nail salon, and to soccer practice to pick the kids up.

[@ghettomist1575]

+Connor Hoovler Haha

[@razrv3lc]

The one good thing about these not being in production anymore is that they're a lot cheaper to buy secondhand. Just from a quick search, I'm finding a lot of them with not many miles that are in very good condition. I'd guess that a lot of them are from the kind of person that model hops every few years.

[@Paulinthewyld]

Just bought a 2015 with 38,000miles the other day and it’s perfect! So much better than the new discovery and even the new defender. No bothersome touch screens, everything is where I want it; the back seats are comfortable when compared to the new disco and the back storage is way more than the defender. Did I mention it was half price????

[@davidhall3747]

Not sure if you're aware of the fact that Land Rover has a Class Action lawsuit against them for Factory defective Timing Chain Guides. If you're not a Professional Mechanic, plan on shelling out about $8, 000 to have the upgraded Timing Chain Guides swapped out.

[@Luckyjo21]

These are everywhere in the UK called Discovery!! Really like them

[@TheAboriginal1]

awesome review. I love the LR4 a lot, i love that classic look to be honest.

[@ileftholland]

This is one of the best walk around/reviews I have seen. I have the older style LR3 and believe me this LR4 is a bit more refined. Thank you.

[@johnwillett4086]

This is my favourite Land Rover - I bought my 2016 Disco 4 (LR4) "Landmark" (one of teh last before they went over to the Disco 5, which I don't like) last year with only 34k on the clock and looking brand new, though I have put another 10k on the clock since. I have upgraded most of the fillament bulbs to LED ones - the reversing and fog lights (front and rear) are so much brighter and the reversing lights are like rear headlights so you can really see properly when reversing.

8 years later and the body and features still hold up. The modern swooping, rounded SUVs look like confused mini vans.

Sad this is the last decent looking land rover/range rover. They are now all neutered bulbous cars, and the new Disco looks like a Ford Explorer. Sad times and Land Rover

[@razvandobos9759]

Yeap the Discovery is the British Ford Explorer. The Range Rover is the British Expedition. Love the new Range Rovers though.

[@anonymous_yte]

i see nothing but the TRUTH here ... discovery 4 was my last favourite

[@TheGibshome]

[@OneEyedJacker]

The LR4 is an iconic design. Understated, luxurious and capable. Today’s over designed swoopy car-SUV wannabees just don’t compare.

[@razrv3lc]

Thinking of getting one of these. They’re getting more and more affordable for the average person since they’re getting older and were replaced with the new Discovery.

[@jjohnsoniaff1]

Seriously considered the LR4 until I found out it had adjustable air suspension. Have had that type of system fail and leave me stranded with the vehicle sitting flat down. Some air systems have problems operating in very cold climates.

[@kevgh3869]

I have a LR2 and I want this LR 4. The new ones look to 'city' looking, these older ones look 'country' much better.

[@jordanbibbs]

I love everything about this SUV, the color, black accents, great review.

[@gothops154]

I came here after realizing how similar the new Defender is to the LR4. I then looked up prices for 2016s, and I might actually go buy one. $40,000 for 20,000mi down to $30,000 for 90,000mi. Good to know I can buy a low mileage 2016 and drive the hell out of it without losing all that much money on it. I can’t believe I’m saying this about a Land Rover but it might actually be a worth while investment

[@Major_Mason]

This is sexiness all around. Capability beyond almost anything. Luxury that is not tacky.

[@davidhall3747]

Nice review on my next Truck to add to the Fleet. The first thing for me to do upon acquisition is to install the newer upgraded Timing Chain Kit. Land Rover has a Class Action Lawsuit against them for Factory defective Timing Chain Guides. The Engine will be ruined if the upgraded Timing Chain Kit is not installed immediately. Its a $8,000 repair at the dealership. For me, I pay zilch for the Labor, because I'm a professional Asian, European, & Domestic Automotive Technician.

[@meadmaker4525]

The V6 is a dog of an engine in this Landy. I really like the LR4, pretty much everything about it, but ditching the V8 to try to appease the EPA for gas mileage was a mistake. Might as well be a minivan now.

[@JAGooch]

A simple tune and pulley gets it to 450hp/450ftlbs and that's no slouch! Much harder to tune the NA V8.

[@AGC828]

The LR4 IMHO is THE best lux SUV IMHO. You (should) be buying a SUV for practical (storage) reasons and a lot less for performance (e.g. Porsche Cayenne/Mican, Range Rover Supercharged). Love the headroom and virtually straight back door. Rare these days since very one is slanting the back door too far FWD sacrificing storage space (e.g. taller/boxy itms).

[@jeffpuha8187]

If I were in the market for an SUV with serious off-road capability, this is the one I'd pick. I really like the old-school utilitarian styling and functionality. I think most of the new Range Rover models look a bit effeminate. Contrary to what some others have said, I think the interior is just fine.
