With regard to LR reliability, I have owned five, four discoveries and one Freelander. Apart from routine maintenance the only bill I have had was for £270 for an AC leak on a 5 year discovery. I can not complain.

@trianggaindralukmana2184 3 года назад

But some LR owner and workshop owners has youtube video that their engine snap bearing, broken/failure crankshaft or fail turbo that replace turbo need lift the engine. I appreciate your experience and lucky for you.

@damiantrifan5032 3 года назад

That’s when you do 2000 miles a year maybe... my friend have one of this and the engine snap in winter on Germany at 35k miles only ....

@peterwhitehead2453 3 года назад

As a previous owner of a 2014 Disco 4 SDV6 from new, I was really unconvinced when this new model was released. But it’s really grown on me and your assessment is absolutely spot on. It now genuinely out rivals the large German luxury SUV’s and offers Range Rover level quality & refinement. For the same price as the base European rivals, basically everything is included even on the SE model. And it has proper off road capability that the others simply don’t offer. So a far better proposition in my view. If off roading isn’t a priority then the new Volvo XC90 is also a cooler and financially smart alternative to the German rivals.

@shepchester3567 3 года назад

I'm much the same as you regarding the Disco 5, Ive had two 4's in the past, loved them! and initially didn't like the new rounded off look, but now find it really smart.

@stefan5218 3 года назад

i like the offset license plate and i wish more brands would dare to do something different, even if it is just a small thing like the plates position - nowadays cars kinda look the same mostly anyway so it is good to have these unicorns on the road. i think the look of the discovery has drastically changed to the better. it looks stunning in my opinion and you could easily transform it into a gangster car if you so desire: dark grey or black paint, black wheels and you are officially a mafioso :D

@sarnieken Год назад

I recently bought a 4' after loving my 3. The styling is growing on me with the new one and I'm glad it has the various nods to previous models. Never forget where you're from. :)

@diverbob471 3 года назад

Hi Mat, I had years ago the first model disco on a J plate V8 and loved it, i dragged our club dive boat around the country and even to Scotland well scapa flow actually on 2 occasions and never a problem. i am sure this new version is worlds away from that.

@cowboy2180 Год назад

Quick, sharp and to the point👍🏻

@Alan_Mac 3 года назад

It's a tremendously competent car. I was lent one not long after launch by our local JLR dealer and pulled our horsebox from High Wycombe to Nottingham one weekend and it was much more sure-footed than my RR - which is a good tow car. I still can't take to its looks, though.

@brettrussell6207 2 месяца назад

Great review once again Matt. I’ve yet to buy into the LR range but I do feel it coming soon.

@allosaurusfragilis7782 3 года назад

I had a mark 1 disco, with 3 doors. I thoroughly enjoyed it and it proved to be a excellent family wagon, when the kids were little. We had great fun camping and towing things. It wasn't too bad for reliability either and fairly cheap to fix. Rust was the biggest issue in the end. These newer ones are not going to make good cheap runners though, in a few years. Too complex.

@dunjenkeepa Год назад

Had ours since 2020 - we absolutely love it. We tour with our caravan and it might just be the perfect towing car. With 3 kids and a dog, we never feel short on space, even on a 3 week caravan trip. Personally I find it a joy to drive, even towing a near 8 meter caravan. I also like the look of it, we have the HSE luxury with black pack, and 22" black matt alloys and I think t looks the biz, I admit the vanilla low spec models do look a bit dull.

@williammorris1384 3 года назад

Hello Matt , superb video . Where are you filming these ?! Stunning scenery again ! The mk 3 and 4 have an ageless , iconic design that the mk 5 doesn’t. Not helped by the discovery sport , which came out first , has exactly the same design, just shrunk in the wash ! Very smart though and rubs shoulders with the Range Rover, indeed . Tempted ?! 😂👍

@paulholland3869 3 года назад

Very enjoyable review as usual. I just can’t take to the design of the car though. I like it inside although it strikes me as being very dark but all the rounded edges loses my desire for it and the dramatic curve in the ‘c pillar’ is way too much for me. I’ve owned Range Rovers for over 30 years and have had Discovery’s outside my front door for over 20 years (of many different configurations) but think that when I change my current Discovery, I’ll probably invest in a Defender, I prefer the look of it personally.

@5ebra1 3 года назад

It's a nice looking car but warranty is your best friend with these as the numbers are big when it goes wrong.

@shepchester3567 3 года назад

Very helpful video, thank you. I notice you've previously reviewed the current model RR Sport, which is what I drive at the moment. I'm considering changing it for the new Disco in a few months, whilst I appreciate they are different types of vehicle, how do the handling dynamics and general manoeuvrability of the pair compare? I'm yet to drive one, and hoping its not a bit like a luxury cruise liner, not that the Sport is totally svelte and nimble though!

Im upgrading my Discovery sport to a Disco 5 turbo diesel, used of course. Never had major issues with my discovery sport since I got it new, only thing was a turbo assembly replacement after 100k km. With this one it has more bells and whistles to go wrong and it will be a average milage used. But I plan to get a certified used from LR lot and extend the warranty. I get worried about reliability but Im confident it wont be extremely expensive to maintain like a Range Rover. I do take these cars offroad for camping with the family and sometimes tow rental trailers in Canada, so this car fits the bill.
