I’ve had an LR3, an LR4 and now a new Defender - all 100% reliable. I wouldn’t own them if they weren’t reliable and excellent vehicles.
Really? I'm going to look at a 2023 LR Discovery Spot today
To be honest, in 2024 if you purchase virtually any modern vehicle and care for it properly and complete maintenance, essentially any vehicle runs well. Even if you get unlucky, every vehicle comes with manufacturer warranty to cover defects for a reason, so that customers can purchase with peace of mind
@@pamelasa Land Rover Discovery Sport is on the same platform as the Evoque. Wouldn't recommend those pieces of crap tbh.
If someone comments about LR reliability, tell us what model you own and why you find it unreliable. I’ve had LRs for many years and find them 100% reliable. If they weren’t excellent I wouldn’t buy them.
I think that most people that say that are haters. I have never had a problem with the press units
I bought this discovery 5 very like to drive very comfortable, but in China, many people dislike its appearance, I think it is very personalized！
Disco Sport owner, 2018 180 HP HSE.
No issues with it yet, towed horses and some heavy off road but always got where I was supposed to get.
I own 2020 discovery 5 since new. Looks exactly like this one, no issues. By far the ccolest jeep i have owned. Air suspension is savage.
When talking about competition or other models. The downside is they plummet like a rock in resale. Looking at a Sport S Model which has a lesser engine and not as fancy by maybe 4 things less that I can add later or go without - but otherwise is pretty much the same type SUV. Slightly lower hood and weird tail end but is massive. and in some ways the Sport variabt its actually as cool if not cooler looking than the Dynamic series. DYNAMIC JUST GIVES YOU ALL THE ELECTRONIC BELLS AND WHISTLES that you said weren't on here either? (The red dot / blue dot on the dual zone temp husge?) CANT REMEMBER now what you said those did but this looks tons better tgan the fugly 2022 model. Also you keep saying Q7 abd X7 for the Audi/BMW comparisons. I'll agree this is close to the Audi Q7 and it's just a fact here in Europe that Audi make the nicest leather interiors baring a Rolls or Bently etc. But the "X7" comment? Maw mate. You're crossing it up with the BMW X5. That's on par with the Audi Q7. The BMW X7 is massive and fully loaded you're well over $140K with a Dynamuc type package. So think that's the only correction you need to make unless you're reading a newer 2023 refresh sheet I've not seen that ballons this to an X7 size - If so then your Audi example is too small then. I'm narrowing my SUV midsized luxury AWD list ironically to all the Rovers; Audi Q7; BMW X5 and Mercedes GLE 4Matic. But Mercedes and Audi and Rover did a refresh in 2023. (Depebds on the midels) but I totally passed in the Benz at first as their midrange SUVs are made from C300 car parts. Plastic; a massive iPad screen Ala Tesla style that just looks outta place and blocks your views over the glovebox Front right Tyre when looking Right jn an LHS US model (is the reverse issue if in the UK looking left from a RHS model) but point is of all the updates Mercedes reworked the roof; hood/bonnet and headlights and lower valance and interior parts now come from the "S" and even "E" class sedans (the $150 estate ahd coupe old mam cars) but has real wood trim massive display and the steering wheel and center consoles is no longer cheap plastic. Brushed aluminum and different options. Then Rover esp the P90 OMG they've done a totally overhaul on that entire truck. But I choked on the price tag. Loaded out a 110 is pushing $180k!!! P90 are jn the 110K range and again they depreciate like a rock. Am looking at 4 Discovery's now on 3 different websites. All 2023 and range from HSE to Dynamic to Sport S midel and one has 9k miles on it the other 2 are in the 15k-20k miles yet tge prices run between $27500-$31,750! Whereas if I really wanted to get the Range ROVER body style I truly like... I'd go with the Sport (it's the largest most masculine of the Evoque/VELAR/sport SUV family. Don't know if they've added thrse screens here into the 2023 sport model or not. Maybe w024 has it. But then you're starting bSe is $74K. So I'm paying $50k more for basically the same vehicle? (Discovery at $30K 2023 and $85K for the loaded out Sport which is smaller than the one you're rest driving here? Doesn't make sense and yes they're definitely underrated. Anyway. Just pitching NY 2 pence in and if I get something this next week I'll let you know what we t with. What puts me off this model the most is the tuck and roll front and 2nd-row seats. Looks like a 63 Corvette seat :) Peace ✌️
Range Rover HSE and Range Rover sport SVU, no issues with either except one electronic on the sport, took 5 minutes to fix. Audi RS5, suspension collapsed after 3000 miles, Merc e220 lights fell out (no idea why) engine lights kept coming on, leaked seals.
What are you using to record this video because it was hard to see the interior
6k$ sony camera
@@SamCarLegion Obviously a good camera but you need to adjust the settings to increase the exposure when filming inside.
I just bought a 2017 HSE and couldn't be happier! Though it is 6 years older than the '23 year model in the video, the car really hasn't changed very much. Mine has the twin turbo diesel engine and is a torquey beast! Especially after I upgraded with a performance chip. My only complaint is no cupholders. No cup holders! Are cupholders not useful in the UK because we Americans really like to drink and drive! That may have come out wrong. 😁 Great review on a very underrated SUV!
I just bought a 2018 HSE and it has cup holders in the center console near the gear selector. You can slide the cup holder back under the armrest and use the space as additional storage.
@@cjmhall Thank you! I feel like an idiot but when we bought it the cup holders were slid forward and if you didn't know they were there it just appeared to be a cell phone holder. I actually found them shortly after I posted this watching another video. I felt like quite the dummy. 😄 Thanks again!
Nice omega ❤️
I agree. Oddly the Discovery has become the "forgotten model". I actually thought they discontinued the model. :)) Bad or lack of marketing in Canada.
I always liked the LR4 because it "stayed boxy" when every one was sloping the back end ...making their SUV's look like hatchbacks. Now recently companies are moving back to "boxy" shaped SUV's YEAH!! e.g. Toyota Land Cruiser and the others.....actually i think Toyota has a better rep than even Land Rover now for reliablity....don't know if LR has hanged this in recent years....they seem just to be a STATUS brand...for "posers"....
What good is a $120k CAD SUV if it's always in the shop??
They still break... They still brick with did electronics.
They are still the best driving SUV and insanely capable, making breaking up with them so difficult
The wife has a Range Rover Evoque and reliability has been good it has not been in the shop but I hate driving the car. The infotainment system is very slow, the handling is pretty bad although the ride is comfortable. It's slow because the engine is quite underpowered and throttle response is unpredictable let's say. The R dynamic package would have helped the handling but not acceleration. Fir a Range Rover to be good has to be fully loaded and therefore too expensive and definitely not worth the money for what you get.
Interesting
Have you got a diesel engine in your Evoque? I had one this week as a courtesy car and I didn’t like the way the throttle felt at slower speeds. I’ve felt it on other smaller diesels before. I think the petrol engine may feel a better in this regard.
He has ambient light?
Gotta love the comments section, people who only follow the crowd, because they can't think for themselves. Can't afford this vehicle so make themselves feel better by saying negative comments when really they don't have a clue.,😂😂🤡
Agreed
🤔 can you name another brand made by an Indian manufacturer which you would buy? Don’t be fooled by the advertising BS. They spend millions $ on it.
@@davidgirvan6007 It is a UK brand. Can you call Volvo a Chinese company?? I own a Volvo and consider them swedish!! Or are they not?
That’s correct. They are not! You can consider them Swedish if you wish but it doesn’t make it true. I’m sure the Chairman of Volvo cars, Mr Li Shufu is quite happy for people to assume the brand is Swedish also. And just like TATA Motors with JLR they’ll do their best to fool the masses. Regardless of this, Land Rover are probably the most unreliable mainstream car brand on the planet, so does it really matter!
@@davidgirvan6007 They were unreliable thats why it got sold.. They never had a good name for reliability.. ol British Engineering!!
Land Rovers: the most overhyped overpriced suv's ever.
Don't walk way.....run fast. You'll make it farther than any land rover ever made
Have you ever actually owned one?
Lexus takes that as Nr1
We have a 2020 Range Rover Evoque and it's been perfectly reliable mechanically. Infotainment system now is very slow to respond and sometimes freezes and takes awhile to even start up
@doggedlydetermined7022 strawman argument. I don't need to own one to know they are junk. 35 years of building and working on cars has taught me all I need to know to determine junk and land Rovers have one of the worst reputation.
You can put lipstick on a pig but it's till a Land Rover
@youtubesucks2001 Yours is an ignorant comment from a troll.
No V8? Not even worth a look.
V8 is a guzzler
Most brands don't really do V8 anymore because of emissions. Ofc the discovery wouldn't get it
It's not underrated. It's just UNRELIABLE.
You owned one?
@@SamCarLegion Not this one, an LR4 in 2013. Solid vehicle, when it worked.
The wife has a 2020 Range Rover Evoque and so far it's been perfectly reliable mechanically speaking anyway. The infotainment system is slow and sometimes you have to wait a minute or two for it to even come on after you start the car. Infotainment system has also Frozen a few times in cold conditions and very hot conditions.
@@TheAfricanGist You owned a LR4 in 2013… It’s 2023, 10 years on. Tech has changed and that unreliability argument is less relevant today. For the most part they have the same issues as any other car maker.
@@mcandrett we've all moved on. You should too. They aren't really know for reliability, are they?
Why would anyone purchase a vehicle that they would rarely get to enjoy. That thing is so unreliable it’s not worth the money Land Rover is asking.
Speaking from experience?
Who are these trolls who keep talking sh*t about vehicles they don’t know or own? LRs are NOT unreliable.
Which model do you own?? I have two - 2012 LR4 w/ 105k miles; and 2018 Disco w/ 52k miles. Both running great. One time in shop for LR4 at 65k miles for tailgate actuator ($300 to fix) and once for Disco with airbag light (fixed under warranty). Have lots of friends with LR's?? I think not. Haters gonna hate.
It's not that it's underrated. It's that Range Rover is, by far, objectively the worst reliable brand.
It’s bad owners that take them for service at cheap chop shops
That's why my Q7 is a much better buy!
you do realize Audi ranks one above RRover in poor reliability on the bottom of the chart.@@georgemitchellii4598
