2016 Land Rover LR4 HSE Lux (Discovery) Start Up, Road Test, and In Depth Review

[@jamesmolyneux2743]

Everyone is saying how 'outdated' it looks, but I think it's looks fantastic.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

[@Lex-Rex]

I still like my LR3 with all the big buttons and dials. I have over 157k on it and it is still kicking ass!

[@e70_x5_guy4]

My mum had an LR3 before her LR4

[@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]

My mom had one and it was so fun

[@310Sole]

people say outdated, old fashioned, blah blah.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It’s not that outdated tbh.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

[@seanbonjovi]

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This isn't outdated.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.

[@e70_x5_guy4]

My mum drives one, it’s not bad but seats are firm

[@stefankoles]

i would choose every day this rover over the new one

[@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]

@@missingremote4388 between $32k to $37k.

[@missingremote4388]

I've bought 9 used cars and never paid more than $10,000 USD It's been fourteen years since I bought another though

[@hx.925]

im not sure abt the gas mileage part lmao

[@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!

[@GwopUpEnt]

+Saabkyle04 bro why did you stop doing all the random old cars sitting around the lot they where some of the best everything seems like a commercial Now but do your thing brother

[@dangus69420]

[@vikk5459]

+GwopUpEnt guess he's too important for that now :/

[@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?

[@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!

[@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

[@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.

[@donalfoley8452]

Of all of the many reviews that I have seen. This is by far the best.

[@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!

[@matthewshipley5224]

Yet another fantastic review, Kyle. I have been a fan of yours for years now and your most recent videos have been absolutely stellar. Keep up the great work!

[@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

[@weemido831]

I’m on my third discovery 4 HSE LUXURY V6 😉 its extremely comfortable car and beautiful inside out. Highly recommend it

[@freddieshine3840]

Great! I’m on to it🙂 How much wld it go for currently? How much difference would a diesel make on economy?

My mother has a 2012 LR4 HSE Luxury and it is horribly uncomfortable

[@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.

[@TheAboriginal1]

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

[@ghettomist1575]

I love the boxy look, I mean it looks the part it serves.

[@XxxInTheMiddlexxX]

that's what I love about the Discoverys, I have a 2004 and I'm so glad they're keeping the boxy look

[@Danybella]

Exactly!

[@drewq1665]

This is the best car review I have ever witnessed

[@EnGieBenGie90]

Just bought a 2014 HSE Black edition SDV6, Always wanted one, absolutely love it, didn't even consider the new LR5...

[@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

[@LionsGateCorp]

Extremely thorough and it's the reason I'd suggest a voice coach.

[@Defender_Tom]

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

[@cadonbarton5690]

I am and I have always been a fan of Land Rover. Especially from the Discovery 2, to the LR3, and now the LR4. I am planning on buying this vehicle, because of the luxury feel to it, and I think it looks so neet!

[@IrrelevantInformation]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@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!

[@OneEyedJacker]

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

[@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.

[@Luckyjo21]

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

[@Mojo522]

I've been looking at different vehicle's lately but to get a lot more info about some of them I have been using your vids so, "Thank you, very much"

[@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.

My brother in law has a Nissan Pathfinder STL. It's strange than the Land Rover Discovery. The Toyota Highlander (Kluger), Hyundai Santa Fe and Kia Sorento are known as Full size SUVs. They even have a lot of Room and plenty of Features inside the cabin and outside of the car.

[@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

[@mgriffin12]

I've always hated the design of these but you actually make it look practical. if I ever have 6 kids I might consider it. otherwise for 70 grand I'd probably pick something else

[@pythagoreantheorem5301]

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.

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).
