Looks nice I have a 2018 model. I hope the b pillar rattles and door trim purring has beed resolved, Great car but the finishing was the poorest I've every known. 8 trips back to the dealer to sort rattles from a brand new car was pretty unexpected and really shoddy
We experienced rattles too. It was the clip of the passenger front seat belt rattling off the trim. Turning the seat belt around when it was positioned the wrong way sorted it.
@@liquidvicI understand that, but I think you will find that pretty much every single car brand suffers from niggles. That's the case with our previous Landies & Rangies, our BMWs, a Mini and a Porsche.
I like the lights design of the outgoing model more, lot more especially the on the rear. The circular elements had a very special visual character and style. I wanted this car so badly but unfortunately, long term reviews with so many very negative reliability feedbacks turned me off the idea off buying one :-(
People should only buy diesel if they planning to do long journey regular. I’m not saying they don’t need to fix it but many complain about their DPF issue when they only do 5-10miles round trip.
0:32: It _is_ Land Rover's most successful model. There is little bit of 'Tardis-esqueness' about the car. People are always surprised how big it is inside. 4:18: I slightly disagree here - I think the limitations of JLRs 'multi-brand' strategy are very apparent here - and its all about positioning. Let me give you an example: While cars may not necessarily directly compete with a single competitor within a range, the majority of the Discovery Sport range competes with X3. The entry level 150hp cars, could be argued, are closer to the X1 in terms of spec and performance. Now, the Jaguar XE pretty much competes with 3 Series saloons and Evoque with X2 and (potentially X1 & X4) ranges. Therefore, Land Rover's dual screen software is available on their X1, X2 and X4 competitors as well as their 3 Series competitor (XE), but the dual screens are not available on their X3 competitor - that's got a 'Discovery' brand you see. Customers who have the £45K to buy a Discovery Sport have different priorities and don't want the best software - they are happy with the lesser software... In reality, do they really? No doubt Land Rover will argue that Discovery drivers are more outdoor, sporty types and may have a different family lifestyle than Range Rover drivers. I don't believe marketing is as linear as that ideal anymore. The fact that JLRs 3 Series competitor is available with the lovely dual screen software, while their new X3 competitor is not suggests that something is fundamentally wrong with their multi-brand strategy - especially when you consider that ALL JLR brands are sold at the same dealerships. So the JLR strategy of offering the better stuff with Range Rover (and Jaguar), with the Discovery branded cars getting 'second best' - but, in some cases, being more expensive is misguided, I fear. But offering all at the same dealerships. You just don't do that. So my conclusion? The multi-brand strategy. It is nothing more than a distraction. You want to sell a Discovery and Range Rover @ £50K, then you give both products the best you can. Not one with 'lesser' and one with 'better'. I am confident that this is what the majority of £50K customers, whether choosing Disco or RR, would expect.
I remember going to see a DS about 18 months after they came out....sat in the car and made my decision after about 3 mins that it was a non starter. For a car of its price couldn’t believe how poor the internal materials, and quality of finish were.....bought a Mercedes GLC instead.
The constant twitching on the steering wheel suggests very poor directional control , unless you are actually swerving from side to side along the road.
The tires on this model are cheezy. They pull your vehicle into the road grooves. How can such an expensive car have such poor tires? Too much plastic & faux leather.
