- A follow up to my previous video comparing the Discovery 5 to my current Discovery 4 and the new Defender 110 I drove and filmed recently. Thanks for watching!
Not sure why so many dislikes on this vid. I found some good info here and the vid was very well made. Yeah a few moans about stuff like not realising the pan roof isn't an openable sunroof but so what?! Other than that someone who's thinking of shifting to a 5 from a 4 like myself this is good content. ;)
If you open the boot using the button on the boot lid or by the driver's knee the inner tail gate stays up. If you use the key fob it automatically lowers. It's a pretty good system once you realise it's there! I agree with you about the middle row seats, they're too low and I think the facelift has changed them. But I must say I find the front seats really comfy. I've got the 306 HP V6 and it overtakes like a dream, but most of the time it's just really relaxed and surprisingly economical too.
Good info - thanks. That’s the kind of thing you just don’t learn from the dealer sales folks anymore.
Thanks for this and your Defender comparison review. More useful than the usual guff 😁
Fantastic video!
That's not a sunroof, it's just a fixed panoramic glass, which is better in my opinion. I can't remember the last time I've opened my sunroof, to be honest, and it gave me problems with other cars in the past. In what car do you get the back seats upwards without removing the parcel shelf? And most importantly, why would you even want to do that? An X5 isn't a comparable vehicle if you need 7 seats, a Volvo XC90 maybe is but then you don't have 6 cylinder engines available. If you want 6 cylinder engines and you need 7 seats the Discovery is the first stop, the second stop would be in the X7/GLS segment, but those cost a lot more.
Very interesting review after seeing your Defender vid I was looking forward to this with interest, I have found myself in a similar situation and have decided to stick with the D4. What surprises me is the dealer, if I was in their position I would have done all I could to make sure you had the right car ready, the 3 Litre V6 engine (which is in my opinion is the right engine for this car), been attentive to your needs and made the experience more of a pleasure, not sure it would have made a great deal of difference to the outcome of your review but it would have helped. It would seem your are more likely to look elsewhere which is a shame as I suspect you have had many a happy mile in the Disco 4. I think I would consider the compromise and look at the Defender to be honest.
Cheers. I do keep thinking about the Defender. I’m really warming to the looks - maybe the 130?!
@@carkeyandclutch5362 Maybe a viable option, the more Defenders I see the more I like them. I personally think you will always come back to the Land Rover over other brands, many people have their own views on this. It doesn’t have the same feeling as the Disco or Defender but a RRS may be another option (over the X5)? Anyway good video appreciated the honest evaluation and real world feel to it, was very relevant to me.
Sorry you have not tried the proper model
I had SD4 of Discovery 5, i have now SDv6 (306ps) and it s a very différent car than the sd4. It s powerful, fast, takes less diesel than the sd4. Very silent car and drives on the snow like on a normal dry road. The family is safe in it. i agree the shape of back sits is too low, but fine for kids shorter body. Third row are perfect and helpful, better not with power, too long to manœuvre.i hesitated to go for thé new Defender but at the end the Defender is all less than a Discovery that can do as well and better in a real large car, Defender being more attractive and Discovery more anonymous, depending why you get the car for ? Objectively the Discovery has everything that the Defender has not on the practicality point of view and performance, so has a Discovery compared to a Range Rover !!
Thanks for the info and balance.
Why on earth would you want the seats to work when the load cover is in place?? Sorry, but I feel that video was a load of grumbles for grumbling sake. Everything was an issue, everything was a problem.
What’s the point in having a button at the rear to bring the seats up if you can’t do that with the load cover in place which a 5’10” tall person can’t reach from the rear of the car? Means you HAVE to go to the side doors, have to remove the cover and they you can press the button. So it’s not convenient at all - it’s poor packaging in a 70k vehicle.
Surely if the load cover is in place then people can't get to the back seats? So again, why would you leave it in place? There are a lot of things which it sounds like your dealer didn't go through with you. Such as the ability to move the middle row of seats forward; still leaves enough leg room but increases your rear load space. Or the fact that the model you were given was simply panoramic glass and didn't have a sun roof, however, the sun roof is an option. To be honest, my D5 has the sun roof and although it works very well, having suffered with the dreaded wet passenger footwell in my D4, I'd happily swap it for the panoramic version. I don't understand sun roofs in cars with climate control lol! Or the marked improvement in fuel economy. My D5 has the V6 engine as was fitted in the D4 and we get around 25% better fuel economy and a true 85 litre tank! I think you should try an extended test drive and perhaps from a better dealer!
I agree, this wasn’t a review. This was just some random dude with an iPhone wanting to grumble about a vehicle.
U r absolitly right mite .... done solde and getting rid of it this coming Friday ! Never Jaguare Land Rover again 😂🤪😬😱😖
