the Land Rover Discovery Series 4 can't be replicated... 2014-2016 review from the ARCHIVES

There's nothing quite like a Land Rover Discovery and a 2014 model year package of final improvements for the fourth-generation version cemented its position as the most practical and capable choice in the large SUV sector. These updates added extra high-tech equipment, a whole raft of subtle cosmetic updates and a greater emphasis on improved efficiency and lower emissions. The result was an even more compelling multi-purpose proposition that makes eminent sense as a used market buy in this segment.
Without the Discovery model, it's doubtful whether the Land Rover brand would even exist today. Launched back in 1989, the original version merely bolted more spacious bodywork onto an aging Range Rover chassis but the sales it generated were enough to save the company. They also financed a more sophisticated five cylinder air suspended model in 1998 at the same time as the company's engineers were busily beavering away at something much better, the design that ultimately became the improved fourth generation version we're looking at here.

I bought one new in 2016 one of the last to be made. It is the finest vehicle that I have ever owned.

I’ve had a Disco 4 since new in January 2014. It has been fantastic, nothing major has gone wrong. Engine, gearbox, drivetrain, electrics - the only thing to fail after 10 years was the electric boot-latch and that was cheap to fix. It is handsome, drives beautifully, is epic off-road (I’m in Australia) and immensely practical. I literally still cannot find another car good enough to replace it - including the Disco 5!

@@GoneFishin247 I guess it depends on the object? I haven’t really experienced that, anything large you just stick on the opened tailgate and slide straight in (the floor is carpeted and completely flat). With grocery shopping I usually leave the tailgate up and drop stuff straight in over the top of it. What I have experienced is sometimes it’s hard to reach things in the boot that are just behind the rear seats if the tailgate is down - it’s a long reach and unlike most car reviewers on RU-vid I don’t have a “long torso”, just long legs!

@PeterGriffin-lh6wp Месяц назад

Completely agree.

Omg man. My thoughts exactly. I’m also in Australia. Had new since 2013. Rear tailgate failure. That’s it. Other than that just service.

@@gadgetphilosophy8290 The only feature I sort of miss from more modern cars is radar-assisted cruise control, otherwise it's all good. Throw your mobile on a holder and plug it in, boom you've basically got bluetooth Apple CarPlay. I don't miss any of the other "touch screen" gimmicks on newer cars, I like having proper buttons for things! Oh, and the parking sensors don't go nuts when driving around day-to-day like newer cars either, that's also nice. The only car I can maybe think of upgrading to is a 2018 Range Rover, but that's an extra hundred grand and only has 5 seats. So.... yeah. Who would have thought it would be so annoying to be completely happy with what I've already got?!

The perfect car 👍 equally at home on long motorway journeys and off-road in the mountains. Yes, it does hold its price - I bought my 2016 Landmark version a year ago (one of the very last made) - only one previous owner and only 34k on the clock and looked almost brand new - cost me almost £40k - but well worth it - I love it. My only complaint is the lack of blind-spot mirrors. If you had not specified the radar blind spot option when new there is no standard mirror option and the radar option cannot be retro-fitted. Other than that it's absolutely perfect. I did go to PowerfulUK and upgraded the filament bulbs to LED which makes reversing much safer (not headlights, though, those are HID) and the replacement sealed LED fog lights are much better and stay clear. It's a far better vehicle, IMHO, than the current Discovery 5, which is why i bought the Landmark rather than the 5. It will likwly be the last car I will own as I plan on keeping this one. 👍

Driving a Disco 3 TDV6 and have 450k KM on it. Its a daily driver and has its quirks. I would not change it for a eurobox or newer Disco 5

@petermorris3665 4 месяца назад

I'd love one to replace my Freelander 2. However, every time I watch an 'LR Time' video it reminds me of why I keep the relatively easy to maintain, and far more reliable, FL2.

Thank you

Cracking vehicles, far better looking than the current ugly looking Discovery!!!! Also much more practical than the new Defender! 👍🏻

What’s the reliability like please? Thank goodness for your brilliant,detailed, clear, superior knowledge of the vehicles you review. You are a true English gentleman. Thanks

Rather poor. Very complex machines that are often run quite ragged. Just make sure you get one with good service history and a comprehensive drive and inspection before purchasing. When you do. Find a good Apple just make sure that you service it regularly take some pride in it everybody I know that has one has a second car like a small Toyota Yarisbecause they expected at least two times a year something is going to go wrong

@@jonjones6583 absolutely not, but you need to have the correct financial position to run one. It is the best vehicle at combining the luxury of a Jaguar or a Bentley with the off-road capability of a Toyota as well as obviously being a status symbol, but it’s due to the fact that it is a multipurpose highly: Plex luxury vehicle which results in expensive bills, remember the more moving parts, the more things there are to go wrong when you combine a highly complex luxury vehicle with your ability to go anywhere then They’re always the people that neglect them or try and buy them without the correct financial resources and end of neglecting them, but there is also a group of people that buy them with the correct financial resources and who look after them accordingly I would get one if I had the money to maintain this, but I still would make sure that I had like a Toyota Hilux or a another car. My grandmother had one and she drives once a week or less so hers is always reliable but most people I know who have one have another car too. Buy it if you want the best and can afford the best. Don’t buy one to for the status. If you live on a dirt road on a street that has not been updated in Google street view since 2007 then buy one. But for a city a Lexus 4x4 is just as nicr

@@jonjones6583No, it’s very far from a pile of pants. It’s probably the best car you’ll ever drive - but, like any car, treat it like crap and will come back to bite you.

I’ve had mine since 2016 and never had any major issues. We love it, and plan to keep it forever. Just keep up with the maintenance, and change oil every 5k miles.
