I still feel like it looks better than the new one
Owen Treadgold very true
Owen Treadgold You are definitely not alone. The Disco 5 is such a design disappointment to me. Too swoopy, too prissy-looking...
Best discover
TUNING
I agree about the looks. The Discos 3 & 4 look like a rugged 4x4 should look whereas the new one is nothing but a styling excercise that has gone horribly wrong - it is positively ugly!
Wow! So sad to see so many comments about the disco 4 being unreliable. We run a fleet of 9 on our game reserve in South Africa, done a collective 1million km. With no serious issues. We have had all the discos, but won’t get disco 5 because of looks and price. And if disco 3 was more reliable the 4 we would have stayed with them. Lr4 is the best car in the world! Does absolutely everything, and reliability issues were sorted out.
Petrol or diesel? Which one is more reliable.
@@terrificspokesman7416 petrol
It's a shame the UK has never built a decent diesel engine. All lemons
@@destroyerarmor2846 I've heared if you maintain them properly they will be reliable
@@terrificspokesman7416 Too much maintenance. Can't be abused like Japanese made diesels in Africa
1:36: I will never, for the life of me, understand why the split tailgate was removed on the new one. Never once have I ever heard anyone complain about the split folding rear.
This car will look great for many years to come, although I do have a preference for the front end on the Disco 3.
It is probably a cost cutting measure as well as safety. It is cheaper to make a single piece tailgate than a split one and in the event of an accident there is less cabin intrusion with a single piece tailgate
@@MichaelMengo If the split tailgate was removed from all Land Rovers, I'd accept your assumption. But it remains on many of their key products...
@@Clavinovaman It was just a guess. I honestly loved it because of the convenience and thanks to depreciation i may pick up an LR4 in the next two years
My dream car watching from Kenya 🇰🇪
Itz 2020, bt still i love this old model.
One of the best car reviews I have ever seen. Short, straight to the point, full of useful information and content, I haven't felt one second wasted on this video. Appreciated. :)
And of course the car is great! *o*
Love your reviews...clean,crisp delivery and full of necessary facts...keep it up man!!
My disco 3 is 10 years old and has never broken down. I get 10km to the litre and I go 4x4'ing a lot. I can go places in extreme comfort that other 4x4's can only do if you wear a kidney belt. This is a serious piece of engineering so servicing should be done at the dealers and if you don't and you try work on it yourself without the required skill levels then you can expect breakdowns. If you cannot afford it then stick to Toyota, Ford, Nissan and Jeep where you can fix them at home with wire, rubber bands and gaffer tape.
agreed, exact same thing with my old disco 2 keep ontop of it and it will serve you well :)
I think I agree. But one thing I noticed about these cars is that they’re like pet dogs, if you care and love them they’ll sure pay you back too with same “love” not being heartbroken.
You're wrong: Fords need an overpriced mechanic for most of their repairs and they are not more reliable than GM, Jeep, etc. That's why I don't recommend any of their SUVs.
LOL! B.S. it is just a car with a regular ole motor. Anyone that understands working on cars and can read a service manual can work on them. It is just a car. And any new car electronics bugs can be fixed if you understand CAN BUS.
You get 800 km from a tank of fuel in a discovery 3 ? You sure bout that ?
I bought such a 2015 car, prepared for travel. Before that, from 2012 to 2018, I had a pre-styling variant on which I drove 250,000 km. I came back to him after all. This is my two-year-old daughter's fake car. She calls him Vedi-Vedi ( Medved) - a bear in Russian.
I have an 2015 discovery 4 and its the best car I have ever owned. I never took any notice of the negative reliability rants, just made up my own mind. I found a very clean low mileage car and sourced a highly rated land rover specialist near me. He said the best advice was regular servicing is the key and his attention to detail has given me trouble free motoring. There is nothing else like it on the road, bad surfaces and bad weather never troubles the car just keeps on going. buy one you will not be disappointed
Hi
I’ve found an absolute “minter” from a Land Rover specialist who have an amazing reputation. It’s a 65 plate with 41k and full LR service history.
I’m so wary after reading all the bad stuff - do you still have the same opinion? I’d appreciate a reply? Cheers
@@reetpateet8656 A 65 will have all the early car issues ironed out. I bought mine with 42k on the clock now on 76 with no issues. As with every car there will be problems. If you get a good one then the secret is to look after it. Regular service is paramount. find a LR specialist is best they get to know your car and give you peace of mind. I never use supermarket fuel and only good tyres. If you purchase you will not be disappointed ,nothing else like it and I am struggling to decide what to replace it with..
.just an update. I have now changed to a discovery 5 and I must say its a great car. As for reliability guess time will tell, after six months of ownership its been faultless
@Sam Harris Sorry for the late reply. it had 42k
Best car we’ve ever owned, and a great review, thanks! One little point I would make which may have been missed, and as a drummer and a dad I use this every week, but those back seats fold down further for a completely flat load space right up to the front seats. It’s a bit fiddly until you get used to it, but a brilliant piece of design when you do! Cheers from Downunder 👍
An omission about flat load space, surprising, not too fiddly to configure in my experience with mine...
For me
Land Rover Reviews+ AutoTrader=♡
From driving toyota succeed.,now honda fit hybrid..I hope and pray this will be my next..Discovery 4 is my dream car I loveit🙏
Love at first sight with this big guy from day one.
Very good review, undoubtedly the most capable 4x4 on the road. With the exception of the range rovers 900 mm wading depth though. Love the video, very true about it being the best of all worlds!
Great review brother keep it up 👍
great review
March 2023 and just swapped my 21 Defender P400 X for a mint D4 Landmark with 21k miles. I have to say, it felt like a bold move but for a host of reasons I prefer the D4 to what was my highest spec available Defender. Too many good points to mention, still looks fantastic IMHO. 🤓🙏
this is a real off topic question but could someone please tell what music is playing @3:10 onwards. greatly appreciated!
Great car I have one of the last ones landmark , even now late models command a high price
Stille love the Land Rover
I wish Land Rover still have an unused Discovery 4 in stock because I’d like to have one soon. In fact the discovery 4 is my favorite rather than the new one today.
Tristan Andrew Acosta there’s quite a few for sale that are basically brand new, 15k and under warranty till 40k or 4 yrs. I just bought 2016 HSE silver edition with 16k and I love it! Could have got the new one but there is just something about this one that is timeless. Only complaint is Navi has a bit of lag. Other than that, I love driving this suv and people will break their necks to see who is driving it ;)
Its front part is all time my favourite, better than todays range rover.
the most beautiful land rover
Who’s still Watching this in 2019 👍
Chris Warren same!
Me too!
Me!
2020 still

Nobody but nobody can touch them

nice video
After looking at the new one, this car is somehow very attractive. The Disco 2 is still my favorite.
I have a 2016 model and it is one best cars tat I've owned, though the screen is a bit slow at times and the clocked seems always to slow down
I also have 2016 landmark inoted that I have to reset the clock, nice car , is your rear screen takes time to clear . Thanks mark
@@6643bear What should i look out for when buying a second hand one of these ?
I must agree that clock slows down , I thought it just my car but it seems they all do that, what model my I ask you have , regards mark
@@ir0n2541 hi , try to go for the latest one possible, they have the updated security, but depends on your budget as prices have shot up £3/4000 , low mileage as possible because you have to think about changing the turbos and that extreme expensive as the body has to be lifted. Full service history is a must, you may have to go to a local landrover dealer as it’s on their system, keep an eye on the air suspension they can go wrong ,mine now playing up , I have a landmark special edition with sits between hse and hse luxury . Only done 26700 . Make sure the spare wheel is the same as rest of alloys i missed that, I only got this car as only done 14254 in the clock , as was going after hse lux , it’s got all the toys , I have seen the graphite model which is based to se tech which is ok , but seen one with lots of extra options , try abs get a landrover car spec book so you can check out the model specs and options , eBay is ok to obtain that, I hope that helpes, auto trader is worth a look for staters . Regards mark
@@6643bear i have the se modal I believe, with the upgraded screen and stereo, I do not have screens in the back
I love this car and I want to own it soon
You said the seats were flat, but didn't fold the middle row all the way into the floor
Isn't the new defender really the new disco and the new disco is a disguised 7 seater range rover?
Nice review! We have five kids, does anyone know if the seats on third row is useful? Does it works as a good seven seater in daily life?
Yes it's works
Great review. Been looking for a 7 seater for a while now as I have 3 kids. Cars never going to go off road so that in mind am looking for a luxury model at great value for money 2012 and up. Torn between discovery 4. And the q7 s line 7 seater and x5 7 seater. Any thoughts people cheers
Currently the best value seven seater is the Seat Alhambra but this is not a 'stylish' car. We think the best drive out of the the three you are torn between is the X5.
Mercedes GL?
Discovery will be the best for cruising, practicality and rode comfort. Also, if one day there is a blizzard outside your child's school you can be assured which one will make it home (hint hint, the discovery)
bmwx5 are total dog shit, audi s7 havent changed for 7 years and are a real bargin now, land rover are the way togo but keep ontop of the maintenance
Mark what did you end up getting. We’re expecting our 3rd currently have the new discovery sport but considering selling to go for a discovery 4...
I wish LR would bring the diesel to the U.S.
I love the 5 liter V8, but it can get a bit painful at the pump.
poursuivant1 for real 😢
I’m on my 3rd LR 4 😀😃❤️
Looks way better than the new ones , i don’t know why they messed it up!
Beautifull.
solid vehicle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! expensive service !
Can u do a review of the f12 Berlinetta
We will see what we can do!
Auto Trader thx
nice, i like it
Me 2
This look better than the said new
ok.Perfecto
Hello please help me I want to buy disco, what the fuel consumption of this car I litre it goes how many kilometers
David Francis we have a 2014 SDV6 engine D4. Despite living in the Blue Mountains west of Sydney, Australia we somehow still get between 900-1,000+ kms per 80L tank despite the daily climbs etc. No roof racks, bull bars or snorkels, just steel rock sliders each side for off-road body protection, so that all helps economy. Great vehicle, all round👍
what price it start from?
Hi Ahmed, for more information here is a link to our written review: bit.ly/1YaIbNr
Or for UK prices: www.landrover.co.uk/vehicles/discovery/index.html?cm_mmc=PPC_Google-_-Land%20Rover%20UK%20-%20Google-_-UK+%7C+en+%7C+NG+%7C+ALON+%7C+NA+%7C+Discovery+%7C+EXA-_-Land+Rover+Discover&gclid=COCOsa2Tk80CFYpAGwodLXwHQA&gclsrc=aw.ds
Is there a land rover discovery 4 with manual transmission?
No, only auto/paddle shifter
But is it reliable? LR have had some reliability issues lately...
this still look fantastic. the new ones look horrendous . JLR just doesnt get it unlike mercedes with the G class. if it works , dont fuck with it
So, I'm kind of confused here...! What's the difference between SE & HSE model...! I tried to google search and ask everyone but they seem like they have no clue...!
HI Luke, The HSE has a higher trim level so will have more equipment and cost a bit more money but those trim levels aren't available from new anymore.
Luke K
I have the SX model , one down from the HSE, the only thing missing are the sun roofs , not missing them, if its sunny the Porsche comes out , even then this truck is so awesome its a close run thing ....!!!!
And I can confirm every single word!
Is it reliable?
Sam yes very. We run 9 . Done 1 million km, no problem
@@Ngunirovers7481diesel as well?
Can u do a review of the Toyota Land Cruiser v8
Sad to say, it’s very unlikely, as the Land Cruiser V8 sells in very small numbers, and we have to concentrate on bigger-selling models.
How much does car cost?
how much
He probably didn’t know that those rear seats folds flat flush with rear , or is just some models?
And who thinks that new discovery 5 looks like SaaB 95 estate on steroids?
If you want a seven seater and lots of boot space you should look at the Chrysler grand voyager
This would be such a great car if it wasnt loaded with costly problems.
What height are you man?
+p Hi There,
Ivan is 6ft tall.
+Cbk_Gt Gaming not for the UK, so I'm guessing he was just talking about in the UK. Also, with the facelift for America the introduced a 3.0v6 supercharged
Auto Trader the LR4 or Discovery 4 has never been available with the V8 supercharged power plant. That's reserved for the Range Rovers. The V6 is the only option for the 14's on but a non-supercharged V8 was the choice for the 13 and before (in North America - in the U.K. You can get it in diesel)
The thing that bothers me about these Land Rover reviews is that they seem to gloss over the reliability failures.
Two years ago a survey showed that 71% of all Land Rovers over three years old break down at least once a year. I would expect that figure from a new car maker but not one that has been around for decades.
As for going off-road in one, here in Australia it would probably be laughed at.
Its off road capabilities are legendary. but its reliability is not. There are very few 4x4 that could match the off road capabilities of the discovery.
You don't realise but theres plenty of Discos out cutting through the hardest of tracks in the outback of Australia , i have been along with them , the only time they become unreliable is when people don't maintain them . They are more capable then my new 2014 Land cruiser and my old Pajero , would run rings around them off road .
R34GTRR35
more capable than the Land Cruiser? in what way? btw, which is better fuel economy wise?
MaZEEZaM 4wd ability
R34GTRR35
I own a Land Cruiser and A Discovery and I can tell you that a Discovery is not more capable. They are about the same in performance with small characteristic difference.
That’s the truth

Shame about the abysmal reliability compared to a Jeep Grand Cherokee and a Porsche Cayenne.
I’ve heard the engines are massively weak such a shame ...
270,000 kms in our 2014 SDV6 D4 so far and not one single problem. Gets around 900kms city/1,000+ country per 80L tank, overtakes everything quickly and safely, and is a dream to drive over long distances, which here in Australia is a very necessary bonus! We use a LR indie mechanic, always the same oils etc, and it’s going to be a keeper until death do us part. Best vehicle I’ve ever owned.

45,000 miles without an oil change. What did you expect?
ughhhh. this car needs a tint... stupid fish bowl
Very nice looking "BUT" very very unreliable, I was glad to see the bk of mine.....
Sounds like you experienced one bad apples? We have done over 1million km with a fleet of 9 disco 4s without a single problem.
junk.
Too Heavy, Too Thirsty, Too Expensive, Too Unreliable
excuse me but thats a land rover and second of all thats off roader you cant expect for off roader to be light you dumbass learn something about land rovers and off roaders beofre you talk
Death Bringer this is a bitch car comparing to Toyota land cruiser
Ilija Tomasovic you know why they made toyotas to keep stupid people out of land rovers unlike toyotas landys were always generation ahead of other off roaders so bye
Death Bringer hahaha hhahahahajahahahHja
Ilija Tomasovic learn sth about cars than talk land rover will always be king of suvs in every category toyota cant even do moose test
Hideous and overpriced
