I have a p250 hse r dynamic, it’s smooth, super quiet and reasonably powerful. With normal driving it’s a joy to use. Only down side is mpg, but apart from that it’s an awesome luxurious vehicle. I have owned a Merc glc and test driven a glb, give me the disco sport all day long.
Love your shoes :-)
Anyway, great review. As a nitpicker, I'd suggest mentioning the fuel consumption given by the trip computer. It's not perfect, but it is better than the WLTP cycle.
Really like the styling of the Disco Sport , especially in orange , it stands out from all the anonymous designs of its rivals that look the same for every model , ideal for families who want a flexible & practical space. Surprisingly , no mention that the Land Rover is easily the best in class off-road , but i guess we know that already !. Reliability needs to get better but there is a big difference between complaints about an infotainment system that is a second too slow to respond & a mechanical breakdown were JLR vehicles are no worse than average , many dependability surveys put Audi & BMW last !.
Which surveys exactly put Audi & BMW below LR?
@Realist 1801 bullshit
@@k______________________ i am the one who owned the audi and BMW n G
BMW, Audi and Merc is not problem free. I had a BMW where timing chain slips while I was in traffic on the motorway. Luckily I wad driving at high speed when that happen.
This guy is a great presenter, very clear and on point.
Great review. Very informative.
Lovely Jubbly, a very fair review.
Namib color, I am a Namibian from Namibia 🇳🇦😁😁😁.
Thanks great review
Good car made great. Kept practicality and improved the perceived quality and design. PHeVs will be great too. Job done JLR.
Realist 1801 yes. Also owned BMW X3, X5 and Merc GLC and Disco by far, by a country mile, was the best of em. Poor Fit and finish issues but that was a 15MY car. They should have ironed all that sh*te out now.
He looks like one of the Weasley brothers.
Thanks for this! I'm actually considering the 2020 Discovery Sport! It's the cheapest in LR's lineup. Subscribed!
Beautiful car but the diesels will be plagued with oil dilution problems if used for short trips.
In my opinion the pedestrian airbag cover on the bonnet should be body coloured, whats your opinion?
Is there any other SUV similar to this [perhaps subaru] who have the wrist band to unlock the car whilst keys are inside?, that's such a cool feature and a massive selling point for active people.
Love your vids especially the puns in the Defender vid!!! Lol to you.
Activity key is available for disco sport
i felt the light control is ok as my peugeot is the same & ok i know this car is small now thanks
i would go for the SE just for the inclusion of the full intercative display
If you want to go off roading then this is the car for you, if you want to do long journeys in comfort on a mix of motorways and backroads there are other SUV's (or SAV's) that will do a much better job. But for all it's faults the Disco Sport will be an incredibly popular car as the Land Rover name tag is so wanted by those on the school run as it is second only to the Range Rover in many people's eyes.
I'd get the defender. Way better off road. X3M though for me.
Gear box is bigger issue than the motor. Hit the accelerator and there is a sense energy is spinning away in the touque converter while it sorts the cogs out. LR should have put electric motor on the rear diff fill out touque to the wheels. either way I would still have one.

I’ve driven nearly 80,000 miles in mine and the auto box just doesn’t behave that way; it’s a few years since I’ve driven an automatic ‘box that feels like that and it certainly doesn’t with the 8 speed ZF in the Range Rover 👍
Yep agree. This 9 speed auto is terrible. I never get smooth ride in quick changes. Floor it get terrible lag. Awful. I keep it in sport drive permanently as that's the only bearable drive. So many issues with drive, performance and body roll I regret the purchase.
@@Jon-zj2nj I think the 8 speed in range rover might be related to the Merc and BMW unit which is great. The transverse is not as effective.
@@logtothebase2
Indeed, it’s a ZF unit, so almost certainly very closely related.
The most indecisive auto box I’ve ever had the misfortune to use and by far the most uncomfortable car to drive long distance. I kept it one year then sold it, at a loss obviously but glad to get shot of it.
I’m all for flying the flag but JLR are going to have to up there game in the (fairly) small SUV market if they want to be competitive.
Agree. Bought new one and traded in after 12 months. Worst auto box. Just awful 9 sp. Not a drivers car. X3 so much better. Loads body roll and uncomfortable.
I’m Interested in the new GLA.
Anon
Looks like you’ve watched the wrong video then! 🙄
Try searching “GLA”....
koupil jsem si ho v benzinu 200 SE R-dynamic a po ujeti cca 500km jsem nadseny !!!
I would buy JLR products rather than competition
Yet the average mpg is less than the 2017 model
Hinting that a 180PS diesel car might be under-powered as it “might struggle a bit if it is full to the gunnels and going up a steep hill” is a bit silly..... that is what gear boxes are for. I drive a 3.5 tonne Boxer van with 110PS and on steep hills... like 1:6.... I put in 2nd gear and it sails up..... or I bash it into 1st....
Хорошая машина, кто знает и с каким мотором она хороша?
Had one. Pure agro.
Don’t like that they’ve taken away the paddle shifters...
You get it on the R Dynamic trim or pay extra to fit it on normal trim.
New Hyundai Santa Fe for me, the new one has excellent build quality and is a great 7 seater. Fab warranty too.
You go my brother Hyundai 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Wrong: you can get gesture control for the trunk
don't compare the discovery with X3.. this is like an over kill!!! Discovery can be driven any terrain.. X3 would die!! 100 times.
I believe the Discovery is a lot bigger then X3. It can fit 2 adult on the third row. Need to compare it with X5.
@@badboy250984 This is the Discovery Sport, which is smaller than the Discovery. It is similar in size to the X3.
@@msalzberg4962 I do know the disco sport is similar to X3, but please see the original comments. The dude is comparing the bigger Discovery to X3! Hence why I say it need to be compare with X5!
Had both new ones. X3 way better.
Bought the 3.0 X3 instead of the Disco sport, no comparison for the £’s .... quality, power, ride etc.
so "premium" is not defined by material quality, ride quality, reliability ,...pretty much anything! it just comes down to the price of the car.
Stop using that ridiculous term, since we already have one - "expensive".
How is it ridiculous? Do you not understand how the car market works? Premium brands are the likes of Mercedes, BMW and Jaguar, which says nothing of the product itself but the badge. It has always been this way.
@@OscarLeeMX Nope, not *always* - Those marques built their reputation by *actually being better* than cheaper alternatives. Nowadays, they're just the same (or even worse)
@@OscarLeeMX things can change. "premium" used to describe a lot of things. Do you remember the difference between premium brands and others 15+ years ago? It ment everything! Now it just came down to the price, so we should stop using the term as well and use a proper one.
Disaster for me i purchased one . First 8 months ot was never out landrover repair center then wentbon holiday leaving the car for a week on airport carpark only for us unable to open car when i went to drive home. RAC man said they are worst cars on road for unreliability
I thought he was having to push it
Hah... the shoes got their own close up!
Why do manufacturers add a useless third row when there is no space for it!
The third row is for kids.
Lakshman Dalpadado i have a 5+2 Disco Sport and actually 2 adults can fit in quite well when you slide the 2nd row forward a bit. Would be no good on long trips but ok around town. However as said, they are really meant for children up to about age 12.
I my kids loved them and was easy to separate them and stop them arguing by having 1 on the 2nd row and 1 in the 3rd row, I've also used them on short journeys and I'm 5ft 10.
Rear seatsare rubbish.....which is why I opted for a 5 seater and a full size spare wheel accessible from inside the boot.
Remember when discovery meant an offroad giant monster?
Still does, this is the discovery _sport_, don't panic! the normal Discovery is still there.
That with the lights is dumb
Would like to buy a Disco but never while this brand performs so poorly in reliability. Why has reliability been consistently out of the manufacturer’s grasp for decades? Is it not considered important or just beyond their abilities? A tragedy anyway....
What's your own experience of JLR products? My Range Rover has 115K on the clock and my partner's Jag XE has done over 60,000 and is a great car. Both are much better than the Volvos and Saab we had before.
I know people who own Bmw Audi and Mercedes ,they all had reliability problems and poor customer service especially Mercedes
Andy,
I’ve owned 6 of their cars, currently having clocked up 302,000 miles between them. Two colleagues run XF’s, both with over 100,000 miles showing. One of them bought their XF after having been a lifelong BMWist and having been treated disgracefully by BMW, when the camchain snapped on his 4 year old 520d; he will never return to BMW and he wants to run his XF “forever”! My nephew has now run his XF for over a year and he’s delighted with it. My first Freelander 2 is still with its second owner, at 9 years and nearly 200,000 miles and he won’t be parted with it.
I read a lot of comments damning JLR reliability on here, usually from people with no direct experience of having owned one, or from those who’ve read those comments and treated them as gospel.
Please don’t dismiss them based purely on reading unreliable Internet gossip 👍
John Hooker Thats something I don’t get. Is it really that bad, it seem everyone is talking about the reliability but you still see a lot of Land Rover on the road. I personally haven’t seen a Land Rover broken down on the motorway before. Surely if buying new you have 3 years warranty with optional to buy extended warranty, surely anything that is not wear and tear will cover right?
Potter Li one just has to refer to the brand’s performance in customer satisfaction and reliability ratings. I bought Lexus as a result and am very happy with my decision.
Looks good let’s buy a X3!
Love the Namib Orange - those rear seats are pretty useless. Strangely, the 5 seater costs the same as the 7 seater.........
Rear seats come in handy and my two kids love sitting in there, also the 7 seater option is an extra £1000 when building.
@@carnut2chris336 when I was looking for a land rover a few months ago there was no price difference between 5 and 7 seats, which I thought strange. You're right it's now a £1k option - which makes sense.
Buy 5 get 2 free?
Price?
Way over priced is the answer
bad ass , the angry pumpkin!
terrible, Ive got a P200, had it a day before the engine light came on, doing 21mpg WTF
chris morris
It’s no surprise, many hybrids aren’t economical unless you do trips within the capacity of the battery. They are usually little more than a CO2 emissions cheat to get around company car BiK taxation. It’s little wonder that they’ve been added to the UK’s 2032/5 ban.
I’m actually thinking about the P200 SE. Is the car really that bad? I want a 5+2 from a premium brand. Is either this or the Mercedes GLB. My only problem with the normal petrol GLB is that the engine is 1.3 with only 161bhp but the car is around 300kg light then the disco sport and FWD only.
Had the car about 7 months now, it does feel premium and is decent to drive, I had a kia sorrento before this and its a step up in quality. Issues are the mpg currently doing 22mpg in economy mode motorway or urban, plus the accelerator pedal is really light and jumpy making it impossible to take off smoothly. If u don't do many miles its not a bad car, but don't expect it to do anywhere near the 33mpg that's advertised.
3:20 quite stupid choice lol
Is this part of the Indian Tata group?
Victor McAuley
Am I right in thinking that you might already know the answer to this question?
Assuming that you do, what point are you wishing to make?
Hahahahhahaha 😂😂
No. "What Car" is owned by the Haymarket Media Group. Jaguar Land Rover, however, is part of the Tata Industries Group.
@@Jon-zj2nj Yes I can think , as you cannot think more than what you are thinking about this car now
Finally they got rid of the pop up gear knob
Kenneth john I liked it
A R
So do I. I’ve owned three cars with it and it liked it in all of them. But, to dumb it down to the level of the competition from BMudi-Benz will probably help it’s acceptance.
Large suv ? You can’t be serious. I also disagree that it has high driving position, that’s one of the reasons I wouldn’t buy it . You sit lower in it than a Freelander 2. Who in their right mind would pay £50 k for a wee car that can go off road ?
It looks and feels good, but that's perceived quality. It will let you down. I don't know anybody who's owned one who hasn't had problems - the last guy I spoke to who owns a Disco had to have the engine rebuilt. I'll stick to my crummy hard plastic interior Honda thanks.
@Realist 1801 OMG sorry to hear that. I understand why people would buy one. It's got great presence, is good off road, and has a great elevated driving position, but I've heard several stories like yours .... and the dealers don't help.
“Even with a sunroof”? You do realise having a sunroof gives you More headroom not less as the glass is flat with the top of the roof and there’s no lining in the way?
jerrymyahzcat
The problem with sunroofs is that the driver’s head is usually under the roof lining surrounding the glass, rather than under the glass itself (as the reviewer’s does in the above video). The roof lining is lower than it would normally be, in order to accommodate the extra support structure (or opening and drainage mechanism) of the sunroof.
Can’t take the X3 off road so no comparison
X3M for me, thanks
This is the car I'd get if based on looks alone. But poor fuel economy, have to get diesel for practicality, poor reliability, price... Too many turn offs..JLR is in financial trouble as well, so they better up the electric game if they want to survive. 7% more efficiency with a mild hybrid just doesn't cut it in 2020.
Cute.... maybe excessively cute. And I'm not referring to the car.
05:58 you said GLB🙄
Yes....MB GLB offers 3 rows of seats.
Those GB EU plates LUL
The UK Government said that all ICE (Gasoline & Diesel) vehicles will be phased out by 2035. Why isn't there an electric version of this?
Because its only 2021 yet?
Its a small SUV so why comparing it to Q5 and not Q3?
No way this car is Q3 size. Is defo same size as x3 and Q5.
@@badboy250984 Discovery Sport is more compact like a Q3 and X3..Discovery is the size of Q5 and X5
@@kostap6555 You need Q7 to compare to X5 and Discovery. You need to compare Q3 against Evoque. DS is definitely similar size to X3, Q5 and Merc GLB.
Will the Euro flag disappear from the plates with Brexit?
Yes, of course and about time!
YES YES
I’ll let you into a secret, you never had to have one at any time anyway, it was only ever an option to stop you from having to stick a GB plate on the car.
As with so many things, you already had the “Freedom” of which you felt deprived.
The gammon is strong with this one…
god he cute
Anything else over this. Too unreliable. Xc60?
Is that the XC60 with the manufacturer’s warranty that expires at 60,000 miles, with no manufacturer option to extend beyond 4 years and 80,000 miles? If they are that reliable, I wonder why they effectively exclude business users, when Land Rover offer unlimited mileage warranty up to three years as standard and up to 10 years and 100,000 miles as their extension?
Yea. I don’t understand why I’m this day and age, Land Rover can’t make reliable cars.
Imagine being so dim-witted to think that Volvos are reliable.
Alan Mac I don’t think either of those 2 manufacturers know how to make reliable cars. Buy a Toyota.
Alan Mac Anything is more reliable than a Land Rover.
Let's be honest with this car. I use this car now , my friends use it and we all think that this is the most unreliable car Land Rover ever designed. The car is expensive, full o problems that comes almost every month and cost fortune to repair it. There is nothing from Land Rover in this car. The car looks beautiful from outside and has good space but everything inside is unreliable
Had mine 3 Years, never had a problem with it. In fact it's been great, even doing a fair bit of off-roading here in Australia. I've had more problems and niggles with Mercedes/VW and Audi's over the years.
It’s not a big car at all.
Certainly nowhere near as x3
That new Diso Sport is much better than an x3.
It certainly is no where near being an X3, which is as good a reason to buy the Land Rover as any other one that I can think of 👍
Owned both new ones. X3 way way better car as drivers car. Drives better. Better performance and ride. Off road discovery edges but there are better cheaper ones.
Peugeot 5008 is premium nowadays . Better value.
Allegro Brown.
You deserve what you get if you buy one of these unreliable junkers, you're welcome
Why do people buy these unreliable shit boxes? WHY?
boring car...
The cars junk they dont keep there value an they are poorly made. All sorts of mechanical problems engine electrical systems..just junk!!
JMalik Lewis
Have you owned one?
I choose the German SUVs over this one any day.
Better interior than Mercedes GLC. ..... NO!
Worst car in its class
A two tonne diesel SUV which is 6% more economical than before. What a complete waste of engineering resources. Land Rover, it’s 2020, not 1920! Suggest you rename it the Triceratops.
why is the guy from coldplay doing car reviews
