I really love looking at this vehicle; I find it aesthetically pleasing inside and out, and what makes it even more attractive, is its off road talent.
The rear bench is rated for 300kg, it would take 2 Nathan's and child and be fine.
Lol loving the red british telecom phone booth in the display
This killed me 😂
Nathan, how can you not know what the lowering "tailgate" is for? It's a classic disco feature that LR wanted to keep with the new Disco. Also, its rated for 300kg, so yes, you can easily sit on it at 280lbs.
The Land Rover Discovery LR4 was still the best looking Discovery
She's a sleek, gorgeous, and formidable machine.
Take it through the left lane of cliffhanger 2.0 and you'll see how impressive that terrain control system is!!!!
34 degrees approach with the suspension in offroad mode, 3o degrees departure and 27 degrees break over angles... you have to check Land Rover numbers in normal settings and off road settings , the car itselfs show the numbers in offroad pages in the infotainment system
Man, loving the show and the props to Rush. My dad and Neil are buds. I'm one lucky drummer. Hahaha.
Cant wait to pick one of these up used 5 years later for 20k!
+TFL you got all those angles wrong, those are with the standard suspension
Most of these vehicles will never have dirt touch those skid plates.
The rear drop-down platform-thingy is strong enough to hold 300kg. Land Rover include event seats made out of Leather and aluminium for that drop down part in their accessories lineup. I personally think it is useful as it prevents things from dropping out and also helps to protect the bumper from scratches from some clumsy film crew members who don't give a damn about your car when I am lugging equipment to a shoot. The rear of my former car was all scratched up inside because of IDIOTS who could not understand simple instructions such as 'I will unload/ load the vehicle'.
Old VS new! LR4 vs new disco!
Wow that was impressive, all those electronics are really making a difference. I'm a fan of the adjustable ride height, not a fan of the price haha
Muddyspartan Well most people end up leasing them for two or three years, so no one really pays $80,000
Great presentation by the way Nathan!
I think what it needs as a more subtle paint job, maybe that forest green they offer, some chunkier tires, and a few off-road add ons like a roof cage, maybe some auxiliary lights, and it'll look a whole lot better.
Lol, looks like a bubbly kia soul. I never doubted land rover would dominate anything you throw at them, its kinda the only thing they are good at anymore. Nathans off road reviews are my favorite on this channel, so much knowledge and entertainment and zingers everytime, haha.
And the number of people besides Nathan who will take it to do serious offroading: 0
For that money, I'd easily take this over the Cadillac Escalade. Maybe do a comparison of luxury 3 row crossovers/suv's (including diesel variants?
Just bought one in June, (LR Discovery) really like it, also own a 2016 Jeep Wrangler Sahara Unlimited, so "In my humble opinion" I'll say.. we have the best of both worlds. :)
Only 80k dollars. Lol you Americans are lucky with such low car prices. Seriously. Not fair.
I found pretty sad that all your videos are good, they are fun, even you have very nice number of followers but usually the videos doesn't have many views... I can't understand why :(. Keep the good work guys!I'm a subscriber from MX! :)
whats the most off road worthy tire available you ask? the michelin defender ltx which carries the highway/all-season rating. they are pretty good for an all-season but by no means an off road tire
Nice SUV. I'd never take it off-road though: high price tag plus high maintenance.
NijaBoiTellEm why bother getting and SUV then?
Kobi Jenkins Is this the only SUV that exist ha? The vast majority of buyers, at here in the United States, won't be taking this off-road.
NijaBoiTellEm This. Is a Myth....$100 Oil change every 10K miles. Land Rover warranty handles any issues and Provides loaners. Maintenance costs are not high.
The looks of the new Disco are polarizing for sure to certain people. I think some of them look awkward while others look amazing. The thing about this vehicle is that its looks vary greatly between packages. So depending on wheel and color choices you'll get a completely different looking Disco. This particular one isn't the best example. However, this thing is targeted toward a broader demographic and its going to be successful within it. LR is looking to grow the brand and bring it to a larger audience.. You can actually get this thing Starting At $49,990. And it'll be well equipped. There's a lot of things in the higher trim packages that are frivolous. But add lots of $$$ really fast.......but That appeals to a lot of folks. And people are quick To bemoan the $80K price tag...these things are largely leased. Not a lot of people will come close to actually spending $80k.
A lot of us....largely enthusiasts.....need to wait for the new Defender. That Will be a new and Redefining vehicle For Land Rover in the eyes of discerning off road fans.
That inner tailgate will hold up to 300kg which is around 660lb so I'm sure you'd be fine.
I love the RUSH shirts Nathan you make my day bud!
Cory Ernewein Agreed! Epic.
The lower part of the split tailgate can hold up to 400 kg, I think it’s fine to sit on it ;)
0ver 19.5" of suspension travel, more than a Ford Raptor! and 6" higher break over angle than a Jeep Rubicon. 35" water fording is better than both the Raptor and the Rubicon. Just saying...
EarthRover not 19.5 inches of travel...movement. meaning topout at off road height to bottomout at cocierge height. The usuable travel will probable be in the 10 inch range....tops, and thats including up and down travel. I would guess at normal height you would get 7 up 3 down, at off road height 6 up 0 down.
EarthRover It does Have awesome specs.
It's plastered all over the Internet "19.7" Suspension Travel" I looked at official LR press release and it says 19.7" of wheel articulation, so maybe that is different?
you are smoking drugs thinking this will get more articulation than a solid axle car. Breakover and wading depth with mean nothing when the hunk of junk breaks down on the side of the road due to that fancy suspension giving up. landroverhell.com/article/2323/
fording depth? thats what snorkels are for. Highly suspicious of the 'fording depth' on this thing - one bit of water in all those electrics festooned over the car and the thing will just shut down on you.
Keep reading your *statistics* while the rest of us are out there actually 4x4ing
So you post a URL /article from 11 years ago?
How about this one - www.toyotaproblems.com
Oh and as for electronics, there are no less electronics than in my 200 series Land Cruiser and they never fail.
Awesome review and Nathan, you are awesome brother! Next time you're in Moab, let's have a beer.
Guys, can you test the Kia sorento and??
Nathan a little upscale in the haberdashery is needed. At least a Tilley hat mate.
I've always been impressed with Land Rover, even the old models can almost compete with the Wranglers.
You have got to be kidding about that tail gate. It is there so that 2 people can sit on it, becouse owner of Disco 3/4 had it too. It may not look strong enough but neither did the same part on previous Discos
Video idea. Discovery vs grand Cherokee would be great to see.
Go and buy a bmw 5 series or a c class or Audi A5 put loads of options on them. With the money you have left over buy an old jeep or landrover fit lockers and lift them. For the same money you have a better street car and a better offroad car? Simple all this expensive cross over stuff is a waste of time
Adam Styles once you’ve bought a 7 seater with that much rear leg room, a better off reader and a luxury car you have spent more than 80k prove me wrong
80k!!! For that money I'll get the Range Rover Sport!
same!
Same
$80k id get the 2017-2018 raptor crew cab lol
Maddog8148 it'd kinda apples to oranges though.
roguedogx yeah but for the same price it's not apples to oranges. It's on the same playing field regardless I will pick Range Rover sport
Love it!
Its not competing with a wrangler,they are like chalk and cheese
That thing at rear must be to keep small things from falling on your feet when you open liftgate.
26 is just ok, i was in santafe which easily did 29-30 on hwy and it still was pretty fast. Truth is this diesel torque must be much more fun
Why are Nathan and Roman always surprised by the tires? Of course it's not going to have off road tires from the factory as the car is intended to be used on the roads for the most part.
OFF Road!? you are right about those low profile street tires which would and does get Very expensive on the rocky trails in Death Valley. As hydraulics provide clearance, available articulation goes down and on rough trails riding on the bump stops is both tiring and hard on the $80k investment. It's true most of these will NEVER go off road -- but Rover advertising leads those that do into trouble often enough to make off road toeing very profitable!
Those things are pretty nice but $80k! Holy shit
not to be a hater but all these awd and computer tech systems are cool but outrageously expensive to buy, maintain, and repair. "oh it notices traction and locks and unlocks to put the power to different wheels in real time" if you think about all the crap going on and all the expensive parts, you will run from these features. not to mention euro cars and all their cubbies and slidey/touch to open stuff, call me in 6-7 years when they all start breaking, nightmare
Please who generally buy these new aren't thinking 6-7 years down the road man... Get real they know the sweet spot.. Buy new, run till 60K miles (under warranty)... trade it in and get the next latest and greatest... All while enjoying a great clean car... Do they lose quite a bit on depreciation? Yes, but again they don't generally care....Its the people who buy them 2nd or 3rd hand who can't really afford them and then get hit with high potential repair costs... So you better learn how to fix stuff then. I had my full size supercharged RR form 45K to 95K miles.. yeah I put a battery in and fixed one wire to the air suspension... freakin easy.
Amazing comments,,from the how can it be british anymore which was answered. but here is something for the flag waving usa audience ,Chrysler is not American anymore neither,as for reliability remember the skoda jokes,not anymore since vw owned them, land rover jaguar has come along way,and at least a british 4x4 has some nice design ! how many American cars get the thumbs up for being good looking and well built ! its not going to happen is it..
darthgardner realistically modern American cars are atrocious, the Europeans and Japanese are innovating whilst keeping it reliable and quality
@tflcar please test some subarus up the hill. Crosstek and forester!
Test this when it has 12 inches of snow next time
You should show your Disco 1!!
Let's see the range rover discovery sport go up gold mine Hill!
I bet thats the new F150 diesel to come.
Cool review! Nathan you are brilliant! :)
Ford makes the best engines out there thats why Land Rover and Jaguar uses them in their vehicles. Can wait to see that 3L Diesel in the 2018 F150.
Ladies and gentleman, I present to you, the 2020 Bronco
The upper crust seem to like somewhere to put their sandwich.
Those angles are wrong Nathan.... when the suspension is on its highest setting it has 29.5 degrees of aproach.....27 degrees of departure angles And if the car hits something itll go up 60 mm more so it has at its maximun 34 cm of ground clearance and up to 34 degrees of approach
When are you guys going to take this up the “Gauntlet”?
This is around the same size/weight as the upcoming Ranger and Bronco ... that 3L v6 turbodiesel seems perfect for them. They'd get the kind of work and play done with it that people wouldn't dare in a $80k Land Rover.
I love the sound of a V6 diesel.
What is the difference between rangerover and land rover?
Beautiful vehicle. Sucks that it's so expensive but I can see why. I could see this being the next big over landing vehicle and may compete with the landcrusier. After all it is cheaper than a landcruiser with a diesel.
What's the name of the soundtrack in the beginning??
The comments section is better than this video.
That engine gonna be in the new f150?
Car does everything asked of it. Taste is purely subjective. It works, what more is there?
Great shirt, fair SUV
7:00 that shelf is to be sat on and it can take up to 300kg of weight on it....
For its reputation of being a "overland" vehicle ready for remote corners of the world, should have taken it up Truth or Dare.
Can't wait to see the ZR2 up Truth or Dare... we all know the Tacoma TRD Pro couldn't make a clean pass up it, maybe the ZR2 will?!
Always loved the off road ability of a Land Rover, just never liked the actual dependability of it not breaking down every 1,000 miles!!
jetdr I’ve done over 100k in my lr4, never skipped a beat. Never broken down and driven all over Australia, fully loaded. Absolutely fantastic vehicle, on and off road.
the back looks like a mitsubishi delica (Europeans and Japanese will know what i am talking about)
Lots of teen girls are looking at this crossover. What a girly car design.
Did a good job editing out the fluids pouring out
Land Rovers never had such a problem. The only reliability problem it had was with the electrics. That was over 20 years ago and only lasted a few years. As of now Land Rover makes some of the most reliable vehicles in the world. Don't believe it, go ahead and look it up. Or, did you really think Land Rover just ignored the problem and is still around just because people buy for the name? Next time, use the frontal lobe of your brain before typing.
Joe Fediaczko ouch.
Sorry, but Driver Power says more than 23% of Land/Range Rover owners have complained about reliability.
BewareTheIdes People buy land rovers for the name and status. My neighbor has an lr3? And I've seen that pos towed from his house dozens of times! I'm thinking and they say my dodge is unreliable? Smh
BewareTheIdes - Oh yes they do/did. I bought a 1999 used (25k miles) Discovery and new 2000 Freelander in 2000. The day I purchased my Freelander, my wife and I were headed home from the dealer and I was showing her how the back window rolled down and when I tried to put it up it wouldn't budge so we headed back to Land Rover and the service guy told us he would have to put us in a loaner. Three days later it was fixed and two weeks later I noticed a dime sized spot of transmission fluid on my garage floor. I took it back to LR and after checking it they told me that LR considers dime sized and smaller fluid leaks acceptable which infuriated me and made me laugh at the same time. I head out and continue to drive it for about a month and the leak got worse so I brought it back and this time they found a crack in the transmission housing. There were no transmissions in the states so they ordered one and 6 weeks later it was fixed. I won't go into a bunch of detail, but the Disco had $9,000+ of warranty work (trans & oil leaks to name a couple of the problems) done to it in the year I had it. I loved their service department & employees and was on a first name basis with most everyone, but those were the 2 worst vehicle experiences I have ever had. Maybe they are better now, but its unlikely I try them again.
THIS is the replacement for the gorgeous LR4?? It looks like a minivan! Christ almighty.
For that price I’d buy two four runners
Interesting that the angles are less than a Touareg and similar to a Forrester.
The Discovery Reason is not there any more. The old disco was a rugged safari version of a Range Rover and not a clone of the it. Then you have the price, yes can you get a base one with BLACK INTERIOR, for about 58, and that would be the best way to go, not 80 grand when you can jump into a Range Rover Sport for 70. Plus all that flimsy tech will fall apart in a few years and will not only be outdated, but not work. We need that old Rolex style dash
with a simple rugged looking nav system and radio and all the 4x4 goodies and done.
I would own it but I don't care for the looks compared to my LR3, the new look is more of a grocery getter and the old look says, take me off road, in my opinion. I am waiting for the new '18 SVX Disco. grocery getter with a winch.
95 JEEP CHEROKEE COUNTRY ....SAME FUN
Great technology, girlie looks.
It's not an AWD, it's a 4WD. You can't call that a test!
Nice, but the first time you have to service it or fix something on it, get ready to take out a mortgage.
In Europe we regard these as "Soft Roaders", more than capable for most buyers climbing that pesky kerb at the supermarket. Nobody is going to risk smashing those rims in a serious situation. These are for footballers wives and Kardashians. Sadly the LR fleet rate as the 3 worst reliable vehicles you can buy. Oh, and its not British its Indian!
Annnnd good luck finding an AT tire that will fit it. Land Rover invented the term "tire independant vehicle" to spin the fact that you couldnt put a better tire on there if you wanted.
It's a land rover discovery, it'd better do well or land rover will probably issue a redesign immediately.
This is a great car. It's just a shame it looks so boring. The Range Rover still looks great after 5 years so I don't know how the design team managed to make this so dull.
I'm buy this car
That lift will hold 600 pounds.
Great vid but for 80k, if I could afford it, I’d by a killer home audio system😂
Imagine what Jeep or Ford you could buy for 80K or GMC.
The new Land Rover car designer had completely ruined the brand
Michael S Yup thats why sales are up and they are making money. Damn him!
*258bhp
Can you even call that trail challenging? Lol. Where we live we call that child's play -- a place Land Cruisers scoff at.
On the miniature looks like a Ford Edge.
How expensive is that Range?
Take the 2008 pathfinder up gold mine hill
If I had 80K. Rubicon and 40K in upgrades.
WxGuy. *sigh** These are mostly leased vehicles. VERY Few people will even remotely sniff at spending $80K. Your suggestion is kind Of a ridiculous alternative. An $80 K Jeep would be real money spent.....overspent and a stupid investment. You should know that.
Nucl3ar Family I'm glad you caught on to the ridiculousness of my post...Kind of like the ridiculousness of this vehicle....... *sigh
Mini Ford Explorer
The front looks like a Chevy Bolt
G. Hazzi Yeah they ruined the rugged looks of the old Disco and made it look like the Evoque. You won't see these Discos taken through the jungles like the old ones were.
Expensive but it made stage 3 look easy. Still rather have a Range Rover Sport instead given the price.
That rear end is just gross!
