  • Your eyes do not deceive you, it may look like an enlarged Discovery Sport but in fact, this is the all new Land Rover Discovery. This all new designed SUV features an updated interior, complete with wooden finish more reminiscent of Range Rover than Land Rover. However, has Land Rover managed to borrow from its cousin to compete with rivals such as the Audi Q7, Mercedes GLE and Volvo XC90? Has it finally married luxury and practicality, that can compete in the rush of the school run, and navigate treacherous off road obstacles? Well never fear, my review covers both topics, minus the children as I show you exactly what this new Land Rover Discovery has to offer, in this in-depth video review.

    At first I didn’t quite like the back but now, it seems I appreciate it by having a unique look that not all cars have.

    I just borrowed one, I took three children my wife and dog down to Cornwall and back in total 800 miles covered in 4 days, absolute comfort, 40mpg, not a moan from kids with entertainment and sitting high enough to avoid motion sickness, it's not as sporty as my X5 but for family and outdoor activities I can't begin to recommend this enough....fantastic

      @iot1452 7 років тому +10

      MrSpencely It could also be a result of rough use by auto journalists. As one fully loaded car is used by multiple reviewers, it could've gotten​ loose by some over enthusiastic journalist fiddling with it before Carwow got a hold of it. Otherwise Matt would've mentioned it as iffy plastic bits and flimsy plastic joints have been pointed out by Matt in several videos.

    • @MrSpencely
      @MrSpencely 7 років тому +36

      If that is the case then it is still shoddy build quality if it can't withstand a few rough journalists after just a few weeks. What will it be like after a few years of family use...

    Congrats Mat, I've enjoyed Matt Prior and Sean Carson's reviews of the new Disco, but after watching your review I now feel as though we've actually spent some real practical time with this thing, so big thanks!
    I can't believe just how much ill-informed drivel has been published since last year about the 2017 Disco by obviously under-prepared or confused so-called motor writers, but you've got it down big time, thank feck.
    It'll be available in July here in Australia, and might just replace the old Kombi in our family, unless the 700nm RR Sport temps me away.. And yes, we'll be needing those off-road chops around our home here in the Blue Mountains west of Sydney.
    Thanks again, great work.
    Bring it on.

    Advice to Land Rover :
    Replace the back with the old one & Increase the height of the rear seat .
    This will make a perfect Discovery .
    There, you have it . Saved you millions of $$$$ in market research and R&D .

    @atthelord 7 років тому +13

    Owning a JLR vehicle these days is a great experience these days. The after sales is great, the service, the dealers, and heck even the reliability, touch wood, having owned one, is great. Now I don't completely do that car justice, but heavy green laning, highway drives and city drives alike have been a breeze!
    As far as this particular series is concerned, I'm neither a fan of the way this looks, nor the Velar to be honest, though the velar has phenomenal interiors, I prefer the classic, bigger and boxier nature of the classic range rover personally, but what a brilliant family car this New Discovery would make! Heck, even the discovery sport, is a great buy I feel.
    Great review as always, thx for all your great content !

    My wife is driving a Discovery 2017 around while our D3 HSE is having the front diff replaced (yeah, gulp). She hates it. Our dog is getting on a bit and as the rear seats do not fold down and then up, she cannot climb up :( We miss the rear split tail gate when horse riding, the front piller is way too raked back and you have to nearly break your neck to get in. It's just no way near as practical as the D3. She keep on at me as to when we get ours back. Oh and that startup time just to get the radio on is a pain in the ass. Oh and the Bluetooth audio loses its connection every 30 seconds and reverts back to the radio. Ho Hum.

    I was really impressed with it when I saw the pictures....and then I sat in one...the seconds row has the most uncomfortable seats of any luxury SUV....with the XC90 being the best followed by the Q70...its just that there is not enough cushioning in the bottom and the seat is too low so your feet are raised far too high...

  • @spv2305
    @spv2305 6 років тому +7

    Some facts that no-one in these car reviews EVER mention.
    Compared to the previous model.
    1) The load space is a lot SMALLER. With all seats folded it is 2400litres vs 2550 for the old model. This is because the floor to ceiling measures 10cm less; You could get a bike upright in the old one if you took off the front wheel; You CANT in this 2) The old one has five full size comfortable seats in rows 2 and 3 with good access to row 3. In order to be able to fold the seats flat with electric motors they have ruined the comfort. The seats are very thinly padded and set way too low so that for a 1m80 adult your knees are up by your ears and to give the illusion of leg room the seat squabs are 5cm shorter in the new model. They are NOT ADULT SEATS and terribly uncomfortable. They are suitable only for children 3) Access to row 3 is terrible compared to the old model 4) the middle seat on row 2 is not a proper seat unlike in the old model; It is as hard as a plank of wood and only suitable for short journeys. Comfort has been sacrificed to make it into a fold down armrest.
    I regularly travel long distances with 5 or more adults in perfect comfort in my Disco 4. You couldn't in this car. It is designed and priced for wealthy people who live in urban environments who want to take the kids to school. Needless to say i won't be buying one.
    The back end is also plug ugly btw

    • @armorFTW
      @armorFTW 7 років тому

      You can always thank the British pound sterling for that,because of its retarded high vallue everything produced and exported out of britain will be triple as expensive compared to the rest of europe,dont even bother with biritsh cars since servicing and spare parts will obiusly be more expensive than its rivals.So to summorise the purchase and upkeep of british products will contantly be a drain on resources,you are better off buying german,french or japanese luxury suv's with even more kit and options for the same price of a british one.

    • @carbiify
      @carbiify 7 років тому +4

      A heavy V8 with lots of torque, in a SUV that can't do anything substantial off road. And are those V8 diesel emissions correct?

    • @JULIAN71102
      @JULIAN71102 7 років тому +7

      carbiify bro don't talk like you don't know, these SUV are almost never driven off road, and you cant argue that the SQ7 is better in every way you can think of other than off road, better drivetrains, more comfy, more refined, more luxurios. Basically the Q7 is a much better product for the money, not to mention the SQ7 which can pull an airbus a380

    • @carbiify
      @carbiify 7 років тому +6

      Almost? That's not the point. If I spend huge amounts on an SUV, I would like know it can go off road. Better drivetrains? Audi longitude mount their engines forward of the front axle, making their cars nose heavy and prone to understeer. VW/AUDI DSG gearboxes are well known for failing. More comfy? Can you prove this? Platforms? JLR's aluminum platforms, are very advanced. The only area where Audi are better, is build quality and ergonomics. BTW, I'm not your bro.

    • @JULIAN71102
      @JULIAN71102 7 років тому +8

      carbiify come on, the Q7 has enough off road abilities for EVERYONE, for drivetrains in a SUV who cares where the engine is mounted? Audi diesel engines are known to be the smoothest and the quietest in the business and they are very economical, for gearboxes the SQ7/Q7 has a ZF 8 speed gearbox which is one of the transmissions out there, for quality AUDI are the leaders in the industry and you can not argue with that, for comfort the Q7 with air suspension according to matt is ULTRA comfortable, and its the most insulated for the outside in its class, the only 2 things the disco is better is that it has better 3rd row and better off road abilities but the for the 3rd row the Q7 has enough space.... Just don't argue that the disco is a better SUV compared to the Q7 ESPECIALLY the SQ7, germans are way ahead of british cars.
