All-new Land Rover Discovery Sport HSE FULL REVIEW with offroad test driven - Autogefühl 

Probably the most authoritative reviewer on RU-vid. Well done, Thomas, Your tests are always a joy.

Easily the BEST Land Rover Discovery Sport review I've seen yet. I don't know why all these other reviewers do a 5 minute video that doesn't even scratch the surface. Buying a car (particularly a family car) is such a huge investment. Thank you so much. I know this the car I want to get now.

As always, Autogefuhl is the most in-depth and thoughtful reviewer. My first spot for choosing any new car.

This is an excellent review - really enjoyed it and learned quite a bit. In fact, we just bought a pre-owned '17 Disco Sport HSE last night - it came with the Climate Comfort Package, Driver Assist Plus Package and the Wheel Lock Pack. It's for our 2nd home in Nevada (USA)...we live most of the year in Virginia (USA). Bought it at Land Rover Henderson...has 41.6K miles on it. This is my 5th Land Rover - I've also had a Disco 1, LR3, LR4 and currently have an Evoque for our home in Virginia. BOTTOM LINE - loving the Disco Sport - the features, ride, technology is all perfect for us as we're only going to be putting 100-150 miles on it a month.

I've watched over a dozen Discovery Sport review videos in the past couple of months but yours was a great and balanced review. I also learned some new information. I agree with you Thomas that the compact SUV market is quite crowded, but Land Rover seem to have settled on a balance between on/off capability and styling/materials in relation to pricing. The Discovery Sport may not please some people but your informative review, and very excellent presentation I might add, is enjoyable to watch. My HSE is on order and is scheduled to arrive to USA in July.

That's a very good review and you're English is exceptional. Thanks for the review!

Thanks for your very thorough evaluation of this vehicle! Excellent report, good comparisons to competitive vehicles, and thanks for presenting it in English! Well done.

Great details as always. Your reviews truly help those of us in the middle of the decision making process.

Definitely the best reviewer Thomas, and, defiantly the best videos, Not too much stupid background music. Very informative and well done.Thank you Autogehful. David

Thomas - any chance of doing a review of the 2017 model with the ingenium engine and the dynamic pack with new infotainment system? Potentially those upgrades make this pretty unbeatable.

Hi Thomas. Thank you for your fantastic job and in particular for this test. After watching I decided to buy Disco Sport and Im very happy with it.

As always excellent work done Mr. Thomas

Thank you, you're the first who does a detailed review!

Thank you Thomas, you're doing a great job, keep it up!

I do like your reviews Thomas ( and sometimes 'the other Thomas!). :)

totally agree with Thomas, this thing should be marketed as Freelander successor instead of damaging the Discovery tag.The dealer should include a river/stream in the test route and let it do some wading and it would be more enjoyable. it would be nice to see some announcement of actual fuel consumptions at the end of the review for thirsty offroaders in future. wondering how many hours the Autogefuhl team spend on every car review, not to mention the back-of-the house team members. Thomas must have been spending hours busy climbing in & out the car to study thoroughly before the cameramen come in! btw, he got a pair of nice loose-fit pants there LOL! everytime i click on an AUtogefuhl video, i know what im expecting & i know what i'll get. keyword: consistency. Well done to the Autogefuhl Team ! Autogefuhl ~ quality assured ! it worth every second of the 38 minutes video.

I think Land Rover have been very clever with the market positioning of the Discovery. Firstly it is now a stand-alone brand designed to be separate and distinct from Range Rover. Discovery is to be practical, adaptable, rugged, an off-roader that is good on-road. Range Rover is to be refined, plush and sophisticated, an on-reader that is good off-road. Discovery is now more distinct from the X3, Q5 and XC60, not so premium but tougher. My wife went shopping for an Evoque three years ago and came back with a Freelander for just that reason. Terrific review and would like to see you cover the Range River Sport one day.

Best Disco Sport review so far !!

The new ingenium engine is now in the Discovery sport. It's now in the number one spot in comparisons to the BMW X3 and Merc GLC according to both "Autocar" and "What car" motor magazines.

Whenever I get in a modern Range Rover the first thing I notice is how uncomfortable it is on ordinary roads. The sideways roll is very noticeable. Is this less of an issue with air suspension that you mentioned others in the range have, or is this sideways roll a nature of the beast with the higher centre of gravity? Excellent video. I like your methodical style.

Great in dept review. Now even more looking forward to the car ^_^

Always detailed and informative, good job

Hello Thomas. Nice locale for a car review! Looks like fun. I like the exterior styling of this car except for the "D I S C O V E R Y" badging (too much). As for the interior I find it underwhelming. I would take one of the competitor's models in spite of a higher price point. Seeing the engine bay so dirty was hard to take ;) You were right on with the leather seats looking several years old. Thanks for the great detailed review. Ciao ciao.

Another excellent detailed review, thanks man!

Thanks for the great review again! I hope the reliability is better than the old version. If so, this can be a great car.

Thanks for your professioanl advice!

another fantastic review, thanks.

It seems to confuse many reviews that JLR have two models, the Evoque and Disco-Sport, in the same luxury, mid-size category. Presumably, JLR figure that people looking for sealed road dynamics (i.e. BMW X3 end of spectrum) will compare performance against the Evoque. However buyers looking for unsealed road and track (off-road) performance will compare the Discovery Sport rather than Evoque and, for example, the BMW X3 would not be considered at all for such buyers. This makes a reviewer's job more difficult when comparing the JLR offerings to the Audi/Merc/Volvo/BMW same-class SUVs.

great and very complete review, thanks!!

great thorough review as always!

Excellent review...sehr gut!!! Please do a comparison between the Disco Sport and the Jeep Grand Cherokee.

Thanks Thomas - awesome reviews as ever. Have you ever done any reviews outside of Europe, say Australia? You have quite the following here... I am in the market for mid size suv and with these enhancements I think the Disco sport looks like the winner. Will post if I take the plunge. Keep up the great reviews.

Thanks for All that great info.. great reviewing style - really helped !!

Excellent Review, my friend!

VERY GOOD REVIEW - ALL THE BEST !!!

Great detailed review Well done!!!

Really good review! How does it compare to Sorento in term of interior quality? In our market, price different is over USD 20K, but DS can only get basic but get very good option at less USD 20K. Need a 7 Seat SUV, a difficult decision now...

When we see you driving down the rough dirt roads why are the tail lights flashing continuously? And yes, great review.

I absolutely love the car but I don't think it deserves the Discovery name, they should've kept the Freelander name. The tail lights don't look that nice too. Great review as always Thomas!

Excelent car, great review, congrats.

Yes, 20K USD cheaper for Sorento. I also watch your review on Sorento already. Again, really good review and in very detail that I like.

oo i would like to try that car on off-road i bet its fantastic but i am disapointed with interior really small screen, speedometer could be much better like in old one more like a huge display, hmm central "reef" is just low really low.... Thomas nice review car is absolutley stunning from outside

The rear view camera points down so you can see the trailer hitch when towing.

Thanks again for this detailed review! Agree the beige seats look bad already :( So does the center console design with mate plastic, I also find the tail lights too big I was disappointed when i discovered it at Paris show

Do you guys have any reviews in German? I am currently learning german and would like to learn more via car review/test videos.

I think there should be an option to have the lettering on bonnet and tailgate spelling "VERYDISCO" instead of "DISCOVERY" ;-) great review BTW

nice review, as usual:))

Thank you a great video as usual 😀👍

Loved the review thanks a lot for helping......

Thanks for this extensive review. I am still a bit hesitant regarding electronics that are not so stable in the car. I saw reviews of customers that are not quite happy with the electrics and error messages that keep appearing. Another thing is the consumption. I am interested in the automatic 2.0 TD4 150 and I am not trusting the brochure's consumption rating of 5,3 l/100km. Can you convince me otherwise?

this is a realy beauty suv.......by the way how cost it with us dollars?

Why are the headlights and rear lights flashing (rotating)? Is this to do with the video speed or is it a feature of the Discovery? If so, how do you make then rotate? I own a Discovery.

Reaaly want to buy this car butt....Think the suspension mite be too hard n if steerings like the free lander than i dunno... Rest of the car seems flawless!

Thomas, have you driven the Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit model with the 3.0 V6 CDI from VM Motori? If you have, what are your thoughts on the comparison with Land Rover?

Good review ! - the car has nice exterior although JLR appear to be reducing the differentiator between the Range Rover and Land Rover brands by using the design language from the Evoque on this car. What surprises me is how ordinary the interior design is - the centre console carrying the climate controls and media screen looks 5 years old already and seems to have neither the style of a Range Rover or the functional/tough look you would expect from a Land Rover product. All the reviews I have read and watched including yours say the car is OK but recommend customers wait for the new engines - not really what you would expect of a new model ! Overall, it gives the impression of car that was designed on a (tight) budget. Styling is derivative, interior is dull and the engines are old - personally, I don't see anything that would compel me too consider the car other than the brand itself.

Hi Tomas, compared to 2018 q5 which one is more comfortable?

I love this car. I do find it a little bit bland. Which is not to say "boring," but at the same time not terribly exciting. It can look very cool though, especially with Black Wheels, in a Dark Grey or Black Exterior Paint Color.

wouldnt this cannibalize the evoque's market share? and the jaguar's upcoming new crossover

Woah, interior looked super old, like 2005 Discovery!

The use of very poor implementation of GPS on a vehicle that was supposed to navigate off road is laughable . Says a lot about the decisions and cuts that were made , for price point maybe.They should of implemented Google Earth view mode for off road , navigation with waypoints ,etc. Almost looks like a Ford Edge in appearance. Just an Okay vehicle trying to live on a Name for Off road . I appreciate the review Thanks Joe

and were do you keep the emergency weel?

I can't make a decision,,,BMW X3 or New Discovery,,,Please help

welcome to Greece !

Hey, Thomas is still 1.86, in three years or so ye will be 1.88.:)

@18:58 When you're a sweaty ass? :-D

this vdo show all features

freelander exterior was slightly boring like this car's interior . the Name discovery "Sport "and exterior don't work . nevertheless a good SUV .freelander 2 was great.

HAHAHAHAHA! 0:30 a what???? Beëmmelebubbelejoe

He sounds like BORAT! Seriously.... :)

love the range rover, i love the rang rover evoque, but this car.... It has the wrong styling, too soft, too much rounded , it doesnt look like a robust , hard working machine, now it looks like every other car in the segment... Of course, terrain performance is still at the top of its class... Sorry but for me , this looks like RR Evoque"s fat cousin... Great review , by the way , as usual, thumbs up for Thomas...

Why are all still buying Landrovers... knowing, this car is so unreliable.. check RU-vid for Disovery SP Problems.. it's a shame.

The old 2.2 Ford engines are good but avoid the 2.0 JLR engines like The Plague. As with most JLR engines, they have an inherent design fault. This one is wrt the DPF position. It is too far from the engine. Continued short journeys causes the filter to clog and the engine will destroy itself. I owned an XF, 2.7 and it happened to mine even though I drove 40-100 miles every day. Shocking design with absolutely NO accountability. JLR will just laugh at you. 👎👎

Unfortunately, I am seriously disappointed with this vehicle. The build quality is amazingly bad and looks very cheap. I've been driving this vehicle for three years now, I've bought it again and I'm constantly experiencing problems that in short are as follows: the interior panel knocks, rattles and creaks the entire interior, the panel is extremely badly clipped. Kofferaumverkleidung velvet handle suddenly in hands, front fender not properly engaged, error messages on the conveyor belt of the Lamdasonde - thereby unannounced loss of power - fire dangerous !!!, continues with water entering the rear lights right, the xenon flickers unmotivated and irregular, the Navi sets exactly if you need it, etc. etc. All in all, I could at the price of such a desolate, misconstructed, quite cheap and overpriced (58,000 euros!) Land Rover equal to three Dacia Duster with the luxury equipment to buy. I will certainly not repeat such a mistake!
