excellent review, thanks Zack.

I think it's great when luxury vehicle manufacturers start making quality vehicles at prices accessible to many more (Benz, Land Rover, Audi)...in the $40-50k range. Smart. Take more of the buying market. And still have above average off-road ability...even though this SUV will be spending 99% of it's time on city streets (if not 100%). Nice to have the ability to do light off-roading if needed (e.g. cottage, heavy snow storm).

Really good and thorough review....

I like his reviews

Love the UFO fly-by at 6mins 15 seconds. Star man bowie!?

Great review..!!

Where does the LPG conversion tank go? Polish minds want to know...

So happy to have discovered your channel, Señor Motormouth. I find your speed of speech perfect, which makes it easier to go through videos. Question to you or anyone know if Land Rover has fixed its reliability. It seems that they did. But would like feedback from owners. Thank you to whomever answer this question.

enjoyed the review. such spectacular views!! Merci

I've owned this car for the last 16.000 kms and can confirm most of the good stuff mentioned in this review. The downside which isn't mentioned is that the 2.0 later petrol engine with 240 bhp is yesterday‘s motor and no better than acceptable. I drive in Europe and over here the fuel consumption of this motor puts it in the category of "gas guzzler". Much worse than this is the "hole then jerk" you get after slowing down to go around a corner and then beginning to speed up. Not smooth. However the rest of the ride is great. Firm but sophisticated. Just right. Buy this car with one of the new diesel motors (and I hope there'll be a powerful one coming along) and I think you'll be very satisfied.

aw this was a great review i can't wait to buy mine

Looks nice for the price! Will it support Car Play or Android in the Car? Are these prices in CAN $? Finally, will reliability be improved?

how does it compare with ACURA MDX ?

Ah se eu tivesse dinheiro. Gosto de mais desse carro. Mas aqui no Brasil uma dessa é uma paulada😁

These look like great vehicles. But family wide we have owned 4 Discovery's and one Range Rover and all have spent almost as much time with dealers than on the rd. Electronics and gearbox problems have been most common with a few mechanical gremlins with brakes etc. Engines have all been pretty good with the diesel variants being the most trouble free. We have all but given up with land rover except one new Evoke that is a school run car and wont go off rd. We now run a Hyundai Santa-Fe which apart from a sticking door lock on the rear passenger side has been faultless, Not as good off rd obviously but that's less of a problem these days. Lets hope these new batch of cars are as reliable as their Toyota cousins and Land-rover trust them enough to put decent warranty's on them.

Yeah terrible quality.

It would have been nice to learn basic specs, like horsepower, torque, safety features, and whether it is 4-wheel drive. Unsure if it was an oversight on your part, or the specs have yet to be finalized. Lovely video as always!

Like other said it, you probably didn`t watch the whole video or just didn`t pay attention to it since few basic specs and specifically horsepower did mentioned along with awd system. If you like a full specs of the vehicle, official website is the place to start. Zack addressed the issue awhile ago as some viewers thought he wasn`t covering as much info as they expected. Check his previous videos if you like to find out why.

After the G class, this is the nicest SUV. Love the look of it

Simon Spall Yes, I decided not to wait for the new full size Disco so the alternative was a Range Rover Sport or the disco sport. As the price difference in Austria is roughly € 25.000 I decided to take a conscious step down and go for the new disco sport. As far as the materials inside are concerned it really is a step down too. As the date for handing over my Disco 4 nears I'm beginning to have my doubts. Not a good sign...

seems like a fair price.

It honestly really reminds me of the current gen Ford Explorer; except the interior is very linear and Land Rover.

i see this and still preferred My 6,000 pound LR3 is a lot bigger the 3 row seat fit a 6.3 feet guy . is a tall Big SUV and 4 me look very safari this look very city .

If you need more cargo space, go for the discovery. I got the discovery because often I have to drive my family to the airport and larger cargo space help. If you just use it for day to day driving then the evoque is lighter and faster.

Agreed- there's a pretty noticeable difference in cargo room in the two. The Discovery Sport can fit a lot more behind the second row of seats. The Evoque is a _little_ bit more stylish inside and fun to drive, but not by much. My Mom just went from an Evoque to the D Sport because of the cargo room and is very happy with it.

Here's my thought on the 2016, DIscovery HSE. I need to let it go. My first oil change 160 bucks at 10,000 my next at 20,000 over 500 dollars what? Why am I paying so much at oil change intervals for a new car is still under warranty. Must not be anything such as warranty service. No wonder I do not see many on the road. What was I thinking. Love the car, but no.

I have this car and honestly think that this particular model had a negative impact on Land Rover's reputation. Looks very nice a lot of space but full of the problem that never ends and very expensive to repair. I made a mistake not to look at the proper review, not KZread promotion. More disappointed when discovered that the majority of people have an issue with this model.

This is new Freelander.

The interior is clearly a weak point compared to the Audi Q5 and BMW X3. I can only imagine that this has been brushed over, with this being the official launch!

Niall - have you sat in one a HSE or HSE Lux? Way more better than the fugly and bare X3 seats and better than Q5 which does not offer perforated heated and cooled seats. Dont even compare this with Q3 which is smaller and has a crooked steering wheel to seat angle...have owned all three this being the latest... X3 is of course the best driver car, but leaves a lot to be desired in amenities for the price. The engine and transmission once you get used to is fun to manage.

I've test driven the HSE and whilst I'm not a big fan of the X3, the Q5 is heads and shoulders above the Land Rover. Just feels (and is) a more premium product.

Fancy Ford Edge.

no Low Range? no Discovery.... this is a better looking Freelander, dont' waste money and buy a Freelander

When you are paying in excess of $60,000+ who in their right mind would spend that amount on a 4x4, I can assure you I wouldnt

sorry, but I don't think that this is beautiful. they turned the LR4 into a big evoque.

Looks like a Toyota Fortuner!

wont touch anything with a land rover badge on. they look ok but you'll be spending a lot of your time in the mechanic's workshop. this brand is poor when it comes to reliability. they even breakdown as soon as you roll out the dealerships.

Unfortunately, I am seriously disappointed with this vehicle. The build quality is amazingly bad and looks very cheap. I've been driving this vehicle for three years now, I've bought it again and I'm constantly experiencing problems that in short are as follows: the interior panel knocks, rattles and creaks the entire interior, the panel is extremely badly clipped. Kofferaumverkleidung velvet handle suddenly in hands, front fender not properly engaged, error messages on the conveyor belt of the Lamdasonde - thereby unannounced loss of power - fire dangerous !!!, continues with water entering the rear lights right, the xenon flickers unmotivated and irregular, the Navi sets exactly if you need it, etc. etc. All in all, I could at the price of such a desolate, misconstructed, quite cheap and overpriced (58,000 euros!) Land Rover equal to three Dacia Duster with the luxury equipment to buy. I will certainly not repeat such a mistake!

Don't compare to Audi Q5, BMW X5, Volvo Boring, Ford/Jeep shite etc. None of those cars do off road. Land Rover does. This one does with aplomb. And they are 100% reliable......unlike U.S crap.
