Haha I laughed when he said don’t try this with a Lexus Nx when we was talking about approach and departure angles.

Tom's reviews are always great. To the point, cover the basics, and not trying too hard to impress with jargon.

True, most buyers won't "go" off-roading in this, but plenty of folks have vacation/lake homes etc. that have rough access roads and this is more than enough for those gravel and dirt roads.

superb

It is a nice car very nice live it

whoa, this has LESS ground clearance and LESS power than a Subaru Forester and costs almost twice the price.

My aunt and my mom are both getting one

I'm really torn between the Discovery, the MB GLC, Lincoln MKC, or the Lexus NX. Please help me choose between those 4 options. My top priority is quiet and luxurious ride. I hate road noise, wind noise, and harsh suspension.

Alex The Discovery sport and GLC are brand new. Expect to pay close to MSRP for it. The Lexus NX might be the best choice. watch?v=31Y128-jly0

Don't buy Lexus Nx or go for Rav 4 which is better than Nx.why pay 40 K for Toyota.

Land Rover has gone by the wayside ever since it was acquired by TATA Motors.

Jon Doe With the exception of Nissan, all of the automakers you mentioned have not exactly been known for their quality or even dependability. They've long been regarded as being below industry average (lookup JD Power vehicle dependability study 2015), especially Kia & Hyundai and also Land Rover but we'll leave that one for another day.. I am very glad that you seem to understand the laws of supply and demand and realize the Chinese businessmen are interested in maximizing profits. But I hope you also realize that they know China's people are continually rising from poverty and their country will soon have the largest economy in the world. And they have quite an appetite for Western autos (mainly luxury eg. daimler, buick, cadillac etc). So with that context its very understandable that investors such as Zhejiang Geely Holdings & TATA Motors are keen to move production towards the east to meet demand while maintaining that "Western feel". All these sales records for Land Rover are happening in China!! Tata has been praised for supposedly 'not interfering' in LJR's operations. TATA Motors is very smart and it recognizes it can bank on LR's legendary image with China's increasingly powerful population.. You say that they have "improved significantly"..can you show me any REAL rise in quality? Am I supposed to seriously consider buying this thing if it came between an Audi Q7, BMW X5, Lexus RX350 or Benz GLK 350? No..production and demand in China have only risen and Tata realizes this to a large degree. As for the XC90 it may be a big hit and rebound but we'll have to give it some time, though consider the fact that US sales for 2015 YTD are a mere 1,108!!!! Down from a high of 39,230 in 2004, and it's only been downhill from then. Sales for 2014 were 3,952. The bulk of sales are aimed at none other than China so we'll see if your precious SUV and its owners will stick to their promises of quality..

Jon Doe I'll try to break it down and answer these questions for you the best I can so you can be able to understand. 1. Poverty in China and sales in that country are very important for investors because a. the people will now have money to spend b. china has the largest population in the world c. they have a large appetite for luxury western cars. Thus Buicks and other American cars doing extremely well in China and not at home... There are no prejudices as such that you are implying when it comes to doing business..money is money as you say. Western culture is gaining much traction there as the middle class expands and they are only wanting to buy luxurious goods. They are not so much concerned about quality as someone in lets say germany would be, but the 'westernness' that comes with it..please understand this. 2. Is this video not a clear example? A luxury SUV that will run you about $45k for an average model and this is what you get? I'd very much opt for an Audi or BMW thank you very much.. As for the flagship of LJR the Range Rover & Jaguars, we'll have to see what they do with it for the next 5 years. Tata is very careful to not influence it as their reputation is not as favorable as LJR's. 3. The figures I gave you for the xc90 you are going crazy for were US sales. The economy has long rebounded since the crash and it was roaring the whole of 2014. World economy is not as healthy but the biggest auto markets (US, Eurozone, China) still have a demand, except for maybe the Eurozone. Therefore investors are keen to move to China..and US market is already saturated and brands are already established. It's not foolish to compare sales with 2004 because as I stated that the year was a peak for Volvo with the xc90..it has been downhill from there. Sales were almost 11,000 in 2011, and in 2014 they were 3,952. It is very sad.. 4. I hope you're looking at the same information as I..go to google and search JD Power vehicle dependability study 2015 then click images and hit the first image of a bar chart that comes up. Audi is certainly not below Ford in terms of dependability..and as for Lincoln..Ford realizes that this is its own separate line. Just as you would say Lexus and Toyota are very separate. They may use the same fundamental foundations for the cars..but they are intrinsically different. So I don't understand your reasoning for "Its the same car, so yeah..". Even the guys at Ford clearly state “Lincoln will still be a good value, but we want to be considered in the same mindset as a Lexus or Mercedes-Benz,” You can hardly say the same about Ford.. 5. Kia has what? Please tell me who or what gives you this type of information..Their sales may be up but they are definitely not on the same level as Japanese producers. This type of wishful thinking in consumers is exactly what their strategy is if you have paid attention to their clever marketing (Kia & Hyundai which is basically same investment group) I watched this video because I am a Land Rover fan and I enjoy everything about their brand. Is everybody who is a casual KZread user restricted from watching a car review video if they are not planning to purchase the vehicle? There is no strong sentiment towards owners..if Tata can build on the LJR name then so be it..I will remain a loyal fan. But I look at the matter as it is, not how a special interest group wants me to see it

It used to be owned by Ford so some of the older model years mights still use Ford parts.

It looks nice but for 50K I rather get a Grand Cherokee Overland which comes at least with a V6 and way more features and luxury

What a boring car
