As someone who has dreamt of owning this car, allow me to make the following points: 1. On reliability, that was one of the earliest versions of the car. It's always a bad idea to buy the earliest editions of ANY car. Let people buy it first, give feedback, have improvements made, then buy the ones that follow. For this specific car, there was a revision done in 2020 during COVID, wait and get that one. It has less problems. The other thing on reliability is that people want small engines, that thing is huge and heavy, there is an 3L Diesel (in-line 6 Ingenium) that I prefer, but people want to get the 2L variant and complain that the car is unreliable. Get the engine that is big enough to pull the car you want, or buy a Forester 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 The last thing on reliability, Land Rover packs a lot of tech in their cars - air suspensions, powered sunroofs, powered seats, etc. These things fail at some point. You know what you are getting into, when you buy the cars. You either get coil springs and suffer uncomfortable rides or get comfort stuff and be willing to pay to maintain them. 2. On looks, you've summarized it, it's just new to people's eyes in a radical way, it looks cute. People will get used to it. Land Rover don't do ugly cars, the uneven butt is something carried over from the previous generations where they used to place spare wheel at the center and push the number plate to the sides. The spare wheel has been moved to under the car but that design cue still signifies that it's a discovery. Also, if it's a big issue for you, you can get an aftermarket one which is centered. 3. Lastly on price, that's due to the tech and capabilities of that car compared to its predecessor. That car has the on-road capabilities of a full Range Rover Autobiography and the offroad capabilities of a Defender. And it's a LAND ROVER, Status symbol.
Land Rover products are INFAMOUSly unreliable even while new, let alone hand me down second hands. Benzes park even more tech than Range Rovers and they are leagues ahead in terms of general reliability. That's not an excuse
Bro have something on my bill. Very good analysis, so on point and very well said 👍🏼 Siwezi jaribu kuongeza anything as a fellow discovery lover. Thanks for taking Time to share. 👊🏼
Just a quick question, have you owned or driven the car? Land rovers are unreliable, I ordered this car from new and picked it myself. I have driven range rovers as well. Range rover is just as capable. The defender is crude, that's the early version. All of these cars including the new defender have similar oof road capabilities. The system is practically the same but as for the ride, the Range Rover is better. However all these cars are unreliable and that is a simple fact. That is a land rover trait. I've sold many of these cars and they're a headache and a money pit. I live in London and export them to Kenya. Over here they're known to be money pits and in Kenya its worse. I have a friend who has made millions from selling land rover parts and service.
1: I dont think it was the earliest versions of the car, wasnt this the continuation from disco 4? 2": I love the disco 4 design way more. It looks like a man. This looks cute. And its not my thing. But I agree with you there sir! 3: so true
One thing that people hated the Discovery 5 was the redesign. Discovery and Defender are known for their boxy shape while the Vogue and Sport are sleek design. After the Defender was redesigned, Ineos took the challenge to design the Grenadier to counter it. Alafu walitoa the split gate, which is iconic for both Discovery and Vogue. So the Disco 4 will always be a favorite for most Discovery fans.
If the only things worth mentioning about a car are its color and the size of its doors, it’s clear there’s not much else to say about it. Honestly, I’ve always thought this car was ugly-especially the side and rear profile. I have a neighbor who parks one next to my SLK, and honestly, it’s just massive for no good reason. The thought that he might have spent 10 million on it... crazy! 😅
If you ask me, the Discovery 4 was the pinnacle of the Discovery Brand...Provided Extreme Utility, proper interior space, looked really classy (not too shouting or too boring), the diesel engine had proper oomf, the interior was luxurious, rode on air suspension and had a proper 4x4 system. For most people, it was "everything under one roof" kind of package. Then landrover went ahead and just messed it all up. Going forward, the discovery die-hards will just get the new defender...the "Discovery" brand will fade into the obese...I mean, just look how the "discovery sport" flopped in sales. Alafu, what the heck was landrover thinking when they made the rear number plate off-center like that? It has never sat well with me,if anything it makes the vehicle look crooked.
amesema in terms of tech.. unajua watu hubuy landrover for luxury and landcruiser for reliability.. they are plain and basic. very basic.. 570 have nice build materials but still basic..
8:54 Unfortunately? Thank God they are not electric. Knowing JLR products, the less automation the better. I do like the look more than the previous gen, and I hope the drivetrain is reliable.
This car is supposed to have very serious off-road capabilities but you did not mention or demonstrate, may be you can do an off-road challenge with the Landcruiser.
Seven seater SUVs are funny vehicles, they can haul up to seven people but no space for luggage, what's the point? Most people will travel with atleast a small bag... Mtu abebe kwa mkono ni kama ako kwa matatu in a 9m car
Landrovers make quite capable off-roaders. The driving for their cars is amazing. they are ahead of Toyota in terms of technology but remember Landrover sits on top as unreliable manufacturer while Toyota is the top reliable manufacturer. If cost effectiveness is not your concern then go for it otherwise Toyota wins
Few things here, how will you know its unreliable unless you own it for like 6 years, after just one drive review, what you'd need to do is go to the garages or owners forums and aggregate what they tell you goes wrong then make a compilation and then draw a conclusion from that. Having said that, having alot of electronics and automation of everything means when something goes wrong it affects other things and thus costs a fortune to fix. Custom air suspension also means you can't just fix it anywhere also costs a fortune. People mostly don't like this new one cause of cost, its expensive to buy, expensive to insure and expensive to maintain, which beats the whole appeal of having a such a vehicle. You can't really take it to random places cause if something fails, you're screwed. All in all, land rover abandoned their target market with this one and hence why its unpopular also, as you said, why buy that when you can get the range rover or something else
I also don't like the car but it's a good review. The tow feature is nice but the sunroof design is not quite good. I think the cockpit deserves 9/10. Front grill iko fiti bro. Pia hiyo nyash iko fiti. I like the tail lights. Fake exhaust tips not good. Overall rating 9/10. I would like the "olange" colour. Good job! Bring the Mercedez-Benz GLE.
The side profile looks awful more like a copied Hyundai, the interior is okay, with the Price you pay for this car a Mazda CX9 does far more superior job overall with an added advantage on reliability
Hiyo Gari Ni Problems Touch it with a very very long pole This caution apply to all Landrovers. Just don't buy this thing Thank me later Unless you have tons of money to dispose Go Toyota Go peace of mind This thing you can't be sure how far it can take or if it can bring you and your family back from a trip

Landrovers have never been reliable. Their claim to fame was their off-road abilities but not reliability. That extends to Range Rover also
Mr Waigera I Love the way to explain your details on the car and you are good at your work keep it up
Lexus Rx 450h

Exactly man. Will buy that banger for sure
This guys nickname should be 10 out of 10, kila kitu ni kwake ni 10/10🤣

Unpopular opinion, this is just an expensive Toyota Fortuner
I can't unsee it 😅
Shit!!! Now that you said it, I'm stuck.
😂😂😂😂
At least fortuner ni reliable
This shit is much uglier than a fortuner

At that price you can get Toyota Prado VXL, I would go for that because of reliability though wamenyoga sunroof 😅
Hapo kwa this car over lx570 nayo umetuona kama.....😅
amesema in terms of tech.. unajua watu hubuy landrover for luxury and landcruiser for reliability.. they are plain and basic. very basic.. 570 have nice build materials but still basic..
Ubwa.leta content yako yenye ni perfect tu judge
To be honest hii gari inakaa poa.. ile concern niko nayo ni when it comes to mambo ya gear box hapo ndio wasi wasi iko
It looks good,it's practical,efficient for it's value
We love the box look
4:44 waigera hujui kufunga hyo kitu 😂😂😂
8:54 Unfortunately? Thank God they are not electric. Knowing JLR products, the less automation the better. I do like the look more than the previous gen, and I hope the drivetrain is reliable.
Who noticed the favorite word quote is 'I'll give it a 10 out of 10 ' 😂 😂

Discovery ilipoteza identity wakati face yake ilianza kufanana ya Range Rover.
Am waiting for the campaigns 27 zianze nibuy moja ya kutesa ocha😂 asante
The interior is 10/10 but the exterior is 8/10
Nilinunua hio gari na 9.8M ikiwa KDQ but since hapo kwa fuel is no joke watu walikataa kununua so nikauza na 8.6M so hio gari is a no 😢
Pamoja na critics zote hizo hiyo gari ni nzuri sana
The plate holder position ndio tu imeangusha
Seven seater SUVs are funny vehicles, they can haul up to seven people but no space for luggage, what's the point? Most people will travel with atleast a small bag... Mtu abebe kwa mkono ni kama ako kwa matatu in a 9m car
Mwizi: taking notes 📝 😅
Good work man
Great job waigera
It's no coincidence that most critics of Range Rovers also can't afford Range Rovers!
I love this car. It's awesome. I'm a die hard
You'll replace Kairo according the way you're doing this things bro.
👍
Big UP Lusso
Now when you close that's where the car gets really UGLY AT THE BACK .
Review Defender OCTA Edition 1

are you related to matiangi kiulizo tu
According to me this car looks very nice
Nice review.
lakini hapo 10:52 umesemaje "hide right" instead of Ride Height? Looool!
Would have been nicer if Samira was present. 😃
Jesus told them, “If you have never sinned be the first to throw stones."
the car looks good. nice review though.
I will be buying that car soon and no one can tell me anything about it. A 2022 model.
The shape is ok shida ni reliability, but anyway, if you are rich then you have nothing to worry about😅
Legroom 3/10 with the current seat position, no one can seat comfortably behind the driver
Discovery 4 all the time
Next video bring the Land cruiser v8 , the following video bring the Toyota Fortuner and third video bring the range rover

Looks kinda 'funny.' The review was insightful, and the jokes were haha. Next review Samira asikose
And then way it looks nice
Kahaga kameinuka kama ka Karen Nyamu 18:40

The car looks good and it was a good upgrade from the previous generation.
High Budget Fortuner
This car is fine
Samira ako wapi
The side profile looks awful more like a copied Hyundai, the interior is okay, with the Price you pay for this car a Mazda CX9 does far more superior job overall with an added advantage on reliability
heri nichukue disco 4
Hiyo Gari Ni Problems
Touch it with a very very long pole
This caution apply to all Landrovers.
Just don't buy this thing
Thank me later
Unless you have tons of money to dispose
Go Toyota
Go peace of mind
This thing you can't be sure how far it can take or if it can bring you and your family back from a trip
Tailgate was its undoing! complete miss
Dico 4 shape maridadi
In term of luxury i give 1/10. Damn when will Huawei suv get to kenyan market Japanese and Germans are ripping people for nothing.😢 just brand
