- The best vehicle you can buy today is the 2019 Land Rover Discovery. Let me show you what I mean with this fully loaded diesel press loaner. It's perfect!
Offroad: • 2019 Land Rover Discov...
I bought mine cash, 10 year warranty. Love love love it! Discovery Lux, HSE, Td6, DYNAMIC. It’s been such a comfy and reliable beast baby lol. I’d recommend it.
Avg 25 mpg in rural Houston.
Where did you buy yours? Was the 10 year warranty included from factory or only from that dealership? Also how much money have you put into the Disco since posting this comment? Had any major failures or expensive repairs?
Ahh yes. That new car soft boom of a door closing. I love that.
I’ve had my 2019 Discovery for about 5 months now and I LOVE it!
Just got mine yesterday. All blacked out. Loving it so far..
Congrats!
Is it the diesel too?
Yes.
@@REDDAWN2010 how is it after a year owning it, in terms of reliability, maintenance and service?
@@onurb.2770 Electrical glitch was fixed via a fuse. And recently had the windshield re sealed as water came in. Perfect repairs. Beyond that it’s still the best suv I’ve had and I’ve driven them all.
Thanks for excellent review , now I'm not too worry about people keep telling me LR is not reliable car . I'll pick HSE lux Si6 next week , so happy and can't wait for it.
Disco is the best 3 row under $100k.
Great review on the Discovery, getting my 3.0 HSE tomorrow, 10th Dec 2020, it is a 2017 model, I cannot wait, such a great vehicle.
Enjoy!
how do you guys like the back seat (2nd row)? I found it not comfortable. Leg support not enough. I’m 6 ft talk
Good Review. I have a 2018 LR Disco HSE TD6 the same color is this the one you reviewed. Also, I live in Fort Worth. I agree that people make too much about the reliability of this car. The cost of ownership is a bit higher than other luxury brands but this car is far more complex then other brands. Although I wish that JLR would take more responsibility for their infotainment problems. One minor correction I would make. I traded a 2015 Mercedes GL 350 Diesel for this car. That car also had a 3rd row. With that said. I've never driven a car that I like better than the Disco. It is a truly wonderful car to drive. I've taken it off road, ending up on some rugged ATV trails, and also done some water crossings with it. It was amazing. The only advice I would give people considering one of these cars. If you want a premium SUV that you want to take off road, then get the LR. You'll have a higher cost of maintenance, but you'll gain a superior driving experience. However, if you never intend to take your car off road, then you can save some money, and maintenance cost, by getting a BMW X5 or perhaps a GLE.
I bet you don't miss that Mercedes at all.
@@RoadandTract There are a few things I miss if I'm being honest. It has auto brake hold that came in handy at traffic lights. But I've found the LR to drive much better overall. I suppose everyone has their own taste when it comes to how they like cars to drive, but I prefer the way the LR rides and drives much better than the GL. I hate the new GLS and all of the other Mercedes SUV's. They look awful.
Can I ask what encouraged you to make the leap from Mercedes Benz to LR. I love the look and packaging of this car, and have not seen a more comprehensive or honest review of this car anywhere online. I’m just wary of making the change from Mercedes to LR.
I live in a rural area so occasionally drive on dirt tracks and rough agricultural roads which the Mercedes just isn’t suited to at all.
Key issue for me changing my car is the quality of the metal used in the AMG alloys that the car came with I.e that it is poor quality and to date had cost me in excess of £5,000 gbp to maintain and upkeep in over 13 months of ownership.
It would be interesting to have the perspective of a driver who has made the transition and also to hear your thoughts.
Hey John. I’ve driven Mercedes for years prior to buying this car. While I was use to the brand I grew tired of being told what a great car it was while still having the problems I did. The one I traded in was a 2015 GL (now called the GLS). I had multiple problems with the car covering everything from electronics/infotainment to mechanical problems with the brakes and sunroof. So I reached a point with the car where I didn’t feel it was very reliable. While it did have 4matic it could never have gone to he places where I’ve taken the Discovery. I’ve been down ATV trails with my LR and had no issues at all. I’ve done countless water crossings in Georgia, North Carolina, Arkansas had the car is simply amazing off road. When taking LR’s reputation for being unreliable in consideration against what I was actually experiencing with my Mercedes I felt that I would be no worse off with the Discovery. I purchased an extended warranty to cover any unforeseen issues I might encounter. This will be in effect until the care is 6 years old or reaches 100K miles. Meanwhile I love driving the LR. It rides much better than the GL and it’s easier to park and see our of then the GL. To sum things up. When I discuss this with people I suggest the use this rule. If you plan to do any off road driving then you should consider the LR. If you only plan to use the car ON road then you may want to skip it. Not using your LR off road is a real shame. That is what the car was built to do and the reason that it can cost more to own and operate. BMW, Mercedes, Audi, etc are geared to on road driving and are not as complicated as the drivetrain in a LR. Based on your comment it sounds like you’d really like the LR. You should also check out the. New Defender. I’ve driven 2 so far and really liked it. I hopes this helps and feel free to reply.
@atlscorpatlscorp2620 do you still have your Disco? I love the Disco and found a td6 perfectly equipped for my needs. What is your current ownership experience? Being that yours is probably getting up in miles as is the one I'm purchasing, my main concerns from discussing with techs are the turbos and the DEF/DPF systems. Any advice would be much appreciated.
Excellent review. Beautiful car - EXCEPT. the rear license plate is off center. my OCD doesn’t like that..
Everytime I look at it it drives me nuts lol
Dynamic adds aesthetic items such as instead of wood, it’s carbon, gas pedals are sporty, front has the black trim... sporty looking. My headliner is black and does not feel claustrophobic at all. My seatbelts are adjustable. A few differences added that just make the biggest difference.
Amazing car
I have a well equipped 2019 petrol HSE Disco with the black pack for which I traded my Sport Autobiography. because of the seven seats. I am shocked at how nice this car is with seven seats and most all of the goodies at 78K MSRP. Your video is spot on. The ride is lovely. I live on an Island and this thing runs around the beach effortlessly. What I don't like is the oh so slight hesitation of the turbo six. It drives me nuts. I was tempted to try the TD6 but couldn't get my hands on one to test drive. This car is a tank. So much volume inside and it is very tricked out as you point out. I do wonder aside from the badging, if I were driving or standing next to an idling TD6, will I hear the click clack of the engine, a smell maybe? Bottom line is what is the down side of the diesel? Your video is very helpful. I don't know what else is in the Discovery's class with seven seats. Everyone that rides or drives it loves it. My Range Rovers have all been very reliable and issue free. The dealer is fantastic. What else can I say. This is like the Swiss Army Knife of SUV's.
Thanks for watching! The diesel sounds like a direct injected turbo gas engine. Funny enough that modern gas engines now sound like modetn diesels because they are more similar in technology these days. Gas vs diesel will always be a debate. I'd say diesel is silent on the highway and the gas engine is probably better for an island because you dont want old diesel fuel in your tank and lines. 400 miles on a tank of diesel will probably last you a few months! At that point, water and algae contamination could become an issue.
@@RoadandTract Thanks. I never thought of those points and likely you are right as I don't drive many miles. I enjoyed your review and the familiar sights in Highland Park. It is loaded with the right stuff, and Range Rovers abound.
i was on the fence about buying a 2019 and this video pushed me off the fence. Bought a 2019 TD6 HSE- thanks for the great review. hope LR gives you one for a month next time. no limit on kilometres !
I just bought a 2018 Si6 HSE Lux in March! Excellent choice and welcome to the club! Enjoy!
I'm in the same place you were. I love the Disco and found a td6 perfectly equipped for my needs. What is your current ownership experience?

@@melvinperc1626 my experience started off rather poorly. i bought a 2019 with 80k kms (approx 50k miles). i was not happy with the way it wondered on the highway and would not track straight. i took it to a Land Rover Dealer for an alignment, when i got the vehicle back it went from wondering to down right dangerous especially in the rain. In short order one of my front tires had little tread left. i took it to a tire shop and got new tires and an alignment. The tire shop reported that my Land Rover dealer’s alignment was “way off.” The tire shop’s alignment was beautiful and for the first time i loved the way the vehicle drove on the highway. I took the LR to the White Rim Road trail in Utah a fabulous trip where the off road ability and locking rear differential proved their value. However on this trip the exhaust crossover pipe started leaking filling the cabin with a diesel exhaust smell. This turned out to be a $5,000 USD repair. Ouch ! I also began having constant low battery warnings but the battery seemed to start the vehicle flawlessly. i read online that this was caused by poor grounds in the trunk. I cleaned all the grounds and ran a ground line between two of the trunk grounding points. the issue never reappeared. i have tried 4 different LR dealers and find them ridiculously over priced and incompetent. I am learning to do the maintenance myself and hope never to need a dealer again.
Now that the vehicle is sorted i am really enjoying it. I now have 113,000 kms on it, approximately 70k miles, and hope to keep it for at least a couple of years. it depreciates at a mind boggling rate i suspect due to poor dealer service and expensive repairs. Check out the “LR time” UA-cam channel as it can be entertaining and helpful to LR owners.

Absolutely going to tow with this.. `have a 1.2ton trailer fully loaded. so should be a breeze.
I'm sold.... I was debating on going the diesel route or not but now I'm sold
It's a phenomenal vehicle. Also highly underrated. I'd get one in a heartbeat.
I'm one of those that watch so far.. 🤣🤣🤣
When filling up at the pump in the uk the green pump is unleaded petrol and the black pump is diesel. I need to keep that in mind next time I fuel up in the states. Could cause a costly mistake.
It will require a double-take.
Can’t wait for mine next month. I have white seats and the black roof!
yes its the great car...but the imp ques is the reliability. I wonder how this new one will hold up after many years. the past history does not show well
I highly doubt people who buy this new will care about how long it lasts. They will just get another one.
Amazing car ❤❤❤👍👍👍
RE: your question on towing: Yes I am going to tow with it. I'm looking for a seven passenger vehicle of this type of that tows at least 5000 lbs but doesn't have a 8 cylinder gas guzzler.
I love the first one to give you a 👍
I need to become a best selling author so I can afford this this year lol. Or next. I'm in love with this truck. Bless the Brits and they're standards to out design Detroit. And I'm from Detroit lol.
It's a perfect vehicle. I mean it. It was very hard to let go of when they came for it. I am shocked at how good it is for the price.
@@RoadandTract Any of the Rover family vehicles I expect to be base $75k +. I would be too. I like the navy color too.
I like how the u turns are under bridges lol. All of them?
Pretty much. I call it a Texas U-turn. It saves a lot of time.
What is the secret compartment for that’s under the buttons for opening the rear?
So this DOES come with raised suspension for off roading then?
I know its warmer weather year round, but I noticed you didn't pay a toll to get because it's a freeway. How are the roads so nice? Is it just that weather isn't an issue? Because here in Michigan we can never get ours right. Trucks, snow, crap/temp fixing seems to just not work. How do you afford it?
Property tax. A $350k home is an easy $8500 tax bill. No income tax. We also have toll roads. Heat is an issue and so is groundswell and drought as the clay earth shifts all the time. Car registration is not insane like CA. But, for the love of God, everyone needs to stop moving to Texas!
So is this car reliable?
Reliability is a myth.
I thought it was only the RR Sport SVR
Hey how are you able to drive these cars I would like to be in that position I was thinking about car photography as a job until I graduate high school but I would like to do what your doing
You need to finish school. Only then will you discover what you need to do to be in this business. This type of work is earned. It's hard and it takes a lot of time and effort. Also, it doesn't pay at all.
This is a freakin awesome video...thank you Brian...I'm currently looking up prices on maybe a used one...
Aren't diesels horrible for the environment? Or did I miss an engineering update? lol
They are low carbon output and more energy dense than gasoline. It's funny that nobody complains about the health of airport workers when they spend all day around burning jet fuel.
Is this a crossover or body on frame?
"With a state-of-the-art aluminum unibody, the Discovery enjoys greater levels of performance, together with improved strength and sustainability. At up to 1,000 lbs lighter than the LR4 and utilizing the latest in materials and build technologies, the vehicle can readily take the heavy duty usage associated with off-road driving."
So, all of this love, driving, lunch getting lol. And my god the color. Did you get one for yourself? lol. I mean, come on man.
It's tempting.
@@RoadandTract If I had the money (writing books and working on it lol) I'd be getting one. If only a lease. Or lease to buy.
«no diesel on my hands”... should it be ?))
Americans are sloppy. Fuel pumps are no exception.
New Car Spin oh, I didn’t know that. Thank you for educating me regarding Americans))))))))
saw 6 land rovers up to 1:13:20
16 Range Rover/ Land Rover Total.
You should've gotten authentic tex mex. I wanted to see what that was like outside of stupid Guy Fieri DDD lol.
He gets around.
@@RoadandTract Every few days he seems to go to either Cali or Texas lol.
I knock all of Texas (partly) because it’s too barren of mountains that I need. More West obviously and because the weather. Just too hot. Other than that, it’s great. Food A, women A, lol. Roads B+. Job market for tech work, A? Lol.
Audi q7 Also has a third row...
So basically, the only thing it can't do is literally: fly. lmao. I mean lets be honest here man.
Well, it isn't a plane, so I won't knock it for not.
@@RoadandTract Fair lol. I trust you much more for cars which is saying much because I thought you were in Cal, not Texas. But I cna't take Doug lol. He rips pieces of technical driving art for no reason. He's not real. Good work.
