excellent review, thanks Zack.
Really good and thorough review....
I like his reviews
I think it's great when luxury vehicle manufacturers start making quality vehicles at prices accessible to many more (Benz, Land Rover, Audi)...in the $40-50k range. Smart. Take more of the buying market. And still have above average off-road ability...even though this SUV will be spending 99% of it's time on city streets (if not 100%). Nice to have the ability to do light off-roading if needed (e.g. cottage, heavy snow storm).
Love the UFO fly-by at 6mins 15 seconds. Star man bowie!?
Looks nice for the price!
Will it support Car Play or Android in the Car?
Are these prices in CAN $?
Finally, will reliability be improved?
enjoyed the review. such spectacular views!! Merci
Great review..!!
Where does the LPG conversion tank go? Polish minds want to know...
aw this was a great review i can't wait to buy mine
So happy to have discovered your channel, Señor Motormouth. I find your speed of speech perfect, which makes it easier to go through videos. Question to you or anyone know if Land Rover has fixed its reliability. It seems that they did. But would like feedback from owners. Thank you to whomever answer this question.
how does it compare with ACURA MDX ?
Ah se eu tivesse dinheiro.
Gosto de mais desse carro.
Mas aqui no Brasil uma dessa é uma paulada😁
I've owned this car for the last 16.000 kms and can confirm most of the good stuff mentioned in this review. The downside which isn't mentioned is that the 2.0 later petrol engine with 240 bhp is yesterday‘s motor and no better than acceptable. I drive in Europe and over here the fuel consumption of this motor puts it in the category of "gas guzzler". Much worse than this is the "hole then jerk" you get after slowing down to go around a corner and then beginning to speed up. Not smooth. However the rest of the ride is great. Firm but sophisticated. Just right. Buy this car with one of the new diesel motors (and I hope there'll be a powerful one coming along) and I think you'll be very satisfied.
Now I'm torn between this one and the MKC. Any thoughts?
+Alex MKC will have terrible resale value. This will be above average.
After the G class, this is the nicest SUV. Love the look of it
It would have been nice to learn basic specs, like horsepower, torque, safety features, and whether it is 4-wheel drive. Unsure if it was an oversight on your part, or the specs have yet to be finalized.
Lovely video as always!
Dude did you not watch the video? The horsepower is mentioned in a graphic. And it's Land Rover, they're offroading on ice and crushed lava in Iceland obviously it's 4WD.
Like other said it, you probably didn`t watch the whole video or just didn`t pay attention to it since few basic specs and specifically horsepower did mentioned along with awd system. If you like a full specs of the vehicle, official website is the place to start. Zack addressed the issue awhile ago as some viewers thought he wasn`t covering as much info as they expected. Check his previous videos if you like to find out why.
These look like great vehicles. But family wide we have owned 4 Discovery's and one Range Rover and all have spent almost as much time with dealers than on the rd. Electronics and gearbox problems have been most common with a few mechanical gremlins with brakes etc. Engines have all been pretty good with the diesel variants being the most trouble free. We have all but given up with land rover except one new Evoke that is a school run car and wont go off rd. We now run a Hyundai Santa-Fe which apart from a sticking door lock on the rear passenger side has been faultless, Not as good off rd obviously but that's less of a problem these days. Lets hope these new batch of cars are as reliable as their Toyota cousins and Land-rover trust them enough to put decent warranty's on them.
Yeah terrible quality.
I would love to buy this car
The tech in the cabin is still 5 years behind the German big three.
Driving across a 2 feet deep river is really awesome. However, How the hell can you figure out it is only 2 feet before you dive in? What if it's getting deeper and deeper?
lol, That would be really cool. Otherwise, this 2 feet depth river crossing ability is completely useless imo...
Jerry Zhai It's like a benchmark. 24 inches or fewer of water is not a problem for this car.
walk out with a stick

i hate the pop up gear knob. it sucks. a driver needs to hold a stick not turn gears like turning a fan knob at home..
Does anybody know who make their engines? It used to be BMW.... is it still?
6:17 UFO passing.
:)) I have noticed, too!
+Protector of the Republic Reflection from a road sign on the window.
+Paco HC killjoy
seems like a fair price.
The 9 speed has been available in the Freelander (LR2) for the past 12 months, so not first use in a Land Rover
It honestly really reminds me of the current gen Ford Explorer; except the interior is very linear and Land Rover.
i see this and still preferred My 6,000 pound LR3 is a lot bigger the 3 row seat fit a 6.3 feet guy . is a tall Big SUV and 4 me look very safari this look very city .
Wish they would offer a diesel engine for Discovery Sport!
They actually do, but not in the US market, 2.2 td
yes it looks and drives great , but what about Land Rovers poor reliability record ??? how do we know things improved ???
Only time will tell
It's average usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/cars-trucks/Land-Rover_Range-Rover/Reliability/
I can only say that I've had a Land Rover Discovery 4 for the last 3 1/2 yrs and driven 120,000 Kms without any reliability problems at all. How reliable is the new Disco Sport? Time will tell, but I'm optimistic based on my experience (which is good because I've ordered one)
Cuchulain Hammilcar If you are used to the Disco 4 which I also have, you will be bitterly disappointed This is not a replacement for the D4, this is a Freelander replacement, but I suspect you knew that!
Simon Spall Yes, I decided not to wait for the new full size Disco so the alternative was a Range Rover Sport or the disco sport. As the price difference in Austria is roughly € 25.000 I decided to take a conscious step down and go for the new disco sport. As far as the materials inside are concerned it really is a step down too. As the date for handing over my Disco 4 nears I'm beginning to have my doubts. Not a good sign...
'16 Discovery
or
'16 Evoque
?
let's go evoque
If you need more cargo space, go for the discovery. I got the discovery because often I have to drive my family to the airport and larger cargo space help. If you just use it for day to day driving then the evoque is lighter and faster.
Agreed- there's a pretty noticeable difference in cargo room in the two. The Discovery Sport can fit a lot more behind the second row of seats. The Evoque is a _little_ bit more stylish inside and fun to drive, but not by much. My Mom just went from an Evoque to the D Sport because of the cargo room and is very happy with it.
In the 6:18 in the sky
"this is a land rover"
"this is a premium product"
Pick one bro
6:17. UFO .........
i see it
thats the reflection of edge light on the window.
Rohit Sharma Sure it is
The Porsche Macan has two seats less, but is a better buy for a off raod/on road.
Yes and this is less money you fucking idiot and how is a Porsche macan better than a land rover off road you stupid fuck
Lee-harry C
The same way your mom is.
You're a lucky man
Going on an off road adventure in Iceland in a Land Rover...
I hate you right now
was that a ufo it did not look like a reflection
Here's my thought on the 2016, DIscovery HSE. I need to let it go. My first oil change 160 bucks at 10,000 my next at 20,000 over 500 dollars what? Why am I paying so much at oil change intervals for a new car is still under warranty. Must not be anything such as warranty service. No wonder I do not see many on the road. What was I thinking. Love the car, but no.
Do you still have your 2016? Is it running well?
Oh...no...January and Iceland is not that cold....Now you can see the result of greenhouse effect...
They need to drop a v6 in this thing
No because Europe knows technology and having a wasteful engine would do nothing you stupid hill billy fuck
that is the old engine from the freelander. Pity they did not give this great car a new engine
Ufo 6.15. Belter to
So sad Landrover makes such amazing cars but they always fail on reliability, I've had 3 land rovers, but the freelander 2 will be my last one.
Here's the problem, reliability.. Have they improved with the problem? If so only time will tell and they really need to get there head in the game with warranty like really? Only 1 year warranty? Come on...
***** I have owned several Discoveries series I and II no problems, I currently own a 99 DII with 200K only thing I have done to it is brakes, oil, and had to replace a radiator. They are also very safe vehicles.
***** as a rover owner, this man speaks the truth.
1997 Discovery 1, 4.6 stroker kit, 140k (20k on rebuild, didn't need a rebuild just for performance.)
Really, really strong vehicles once you iron out a few issues from the beginning.
Alex Fry Yep.
***** lol it's a Ford motor, that's the only problem , I have The Evoque in zanzibar metallic with black roof and shadow chrome wheels, I bought it new and don't know about reliability but it get's a lot of pussy!
yes it is a FORD motor 2.0 turbo charged , and it is better than a cheap Jeep
6:19 is that what I think it is @@ !!? look up in the sky
DID anyone spot the ufo between 6:13 and 6:18 check it out
This is new Freelander.
It looks like the new Ford explorer to me
I don't know but it looks flat from the back, no shape highlights or bulges. The front light looks futuristic but the rear brake lights is kinda too big compared to its body.
Are you fucking blind, enjoy your 14 year old jeep
Lee-harry C No, and i hate Jeeps
Fancy Ford Edge.
I have this car and honestly think that this particular model had a negative impact on Land Rover's reputation. Looks very nice a lot of space but full of the problem that never ends and very expensive to repair. I made a mistake not to look at the proper review, not UA-cam promotion. More disappointed when discovered that the majority of people have an issue with this model.
The interior is clearly a weak point compared to the Audi Q5 and BMW X3. I can only imagine that this has been brushed over, with this being the official launch!
Niall - have you sat in one a HSE or HSE Lux? Way more better than the fugly and bare X3 seats and better than Q5 which does not offer perforated heated and cooled seats. Dont even compare this with Q3 which is smaller and has a crooked steering wheel to seat angle...have owned all three this being the latest... X3 is of course the best driver car, but leaves a lot to be desired in amenities for the price. The engine and transmission once you get used to is fun to manage.
I've test driven the HSE and whilst I'm not a big fan of the X3, the Q5 is heads and shoulders above the Land Rover. Just feels (and is) a more premium product.
no Low Range? no Discovery.... this is a better looking Freelander, dont' waste money and buy a Freelander
When you are paying in excess of $60,000+ who in their right mind would spend that amount on a 4x4, I can assure you I wouldnt
Looks like a Toyota Fortuner!
sorry, but I don't think that this is beautiful. they turned the LR4 into a big evoque.
wont touch anything with a land rover badge on. they look ok but you'll be spending a lot of your time in the mechanic's workshop. this brand is poor when it comes to reliability. they even breakdown as soon as you roll out the dealerships.
No no no and no it looks like the free lander/ evoiqie
Tarted up Ford Escape.
it doesn't look muscular anymore.
Back part is ugly.
Your mum is ugly
Like but the that interior is so bland and boring and dark
It's land rover not range rover
It's Land Rover Not Range Rover wtf you dumbass Range Rover is a Land Rover
But this isn't a range rover
Gaming 4 Ohio Gameplay's & More also +1ing you're own comments is pathetic
You are stupid that'd be like saying its a M4 not a Bmw lmao
My Mercedes GLA is much better!!
looks just like a jeep, same as what audi has done
How?
You no nothing. Why would you even consider jeep HA
Center console look absolutely hideous! Person with worst sense of taste would be more than happy off with a x3. Very disappointed with cheap looking plastic!
Unfortunately, I am seriously disappointed with this vehicle. The build quality is amazingly bad and looks very cheap. I've been driving this vehicle for three years now, I've bought it again and I'm constantly experiencing problems that in short are as follows: the interior panel knocks, rattles and creaks the entire interior, the panel is extremely badly clipped. Kofferaumverkleidung velvet handle suddenly in hands, front fender not properly engaged, error messages on the conveyor belt of the Lamdasonde - thereby unannounced loss of power - fire dangerous !!!, continues with water entering the rear lights right, the xenon flickers unmotivated and irregular, the Navi sets exactly if you need it, etc. etc. All in all, I could at the price of such a desolate, misconstructed, quite cheap and overpriced (58,000 euros!) Land Rover equal to three Dacia Duster with the luxury equipment to buy. I will certainly not repeat such a mistake!
Sorry but it's ugly. The last discovery wqs bettet
Garbage! For the price you get alot of reliability issues.
Can you image serious offroad or overlanding, driving this overpriced creature (trough africa ....etc) hahahaha????? LR defender was THE GOD for discovery adventures .
Don't compare to Audi Q5, BMW X5, Volvo Boring, Ford/Jeep shite etc. None of those cars do off road. Land Rover does. This one does with aplomb. And they are 100% reliable......unlike U.S crap. Oh, I forgot, for gods sake do not criticise anything American. They don't like it. USA! USA! USA! .......yawn.........
Correct mate they have amazing comfort and quality
+John Lawrence They can all do more off road than anyone who can afford it ever does. Maybe you're using yours to bury bodies out in the boonies. Most are shopping mall vehicles. Most American makes wipe the floor with Land Rovers in all reliability comparisions.
Horrible Design, it looks like a Ford Explorer!
old discovery was piece of shit
