Have the exact color combo in a 2018 HSE Lux, and absolutely love it. The last row seats are "actual" seats, at 5'11" i can get in and sit very comfortably, they are heated as well so great for Canadian winters. Speaking of winters, this car has given my family tremendous confidence in ANY weather conditions. From minus 40 degrees in heavy blowing snow to plus 35 degrees in the middle of a hot summer, this car is super comfortable and safe. The heated windscreen and heated headlight washer a huge bonus in winter. The climate control 1st and second row seats, with massage in the 1st row make for a superb ride. No reliability issues either in 4 years worth of on road and off road driving. My only misgiving is I have the old "V6" lump, and I've driven the new in in-line 6 and what a difference, the inline is so smooth and balanced in comparison to the V which admittedly sounds and feels harsh and unrefined.

do you park the car in a covered garage at night in the winter? or hot summers ?

Something worth highlighting is that it's a brilliant tow car. I've an 11 year old Range Rover that has covered over 120,000 miles - much of which were covered pulling my daughter's horsebox to various competitions. I borrowed one of these for a weekend and it was fantastic - even more stable on the road than the RR. So boat owners and horsey people should look at it seriously.

Another great review - Thank you Paul!

Thanks Paul for the review!

Great video! Such a nice looking car, I indeed love the whole exterior including the scandalous rear..😍

We recenty updated from a Kluger to a 2018 Discovery HSE TD6 V6 Diesel and we absolutely love everything about this truck...an absolute joy to drive very economical, wish we made the switch sooner and look forward to many more family trips as well as one-way upgrading to the next generation Discovery Diesel/Hybrid...loke the Dynamic look or as it was once called the black pack which makes heads turn when you pull up. I've lost count with people asking me what is this vehicle when we go out as everyone is more accustomed to BMW and Mercedes or Audi and then the Discovery adds more spice to the mix...

Love this vehicle. Great review as usual, you always give realistic reviews of how the car will be used. Please do a BMW X7 next. I would love to see a comparison of Discovery 5, Landcruiser 300, X7, and GLS as 7 Seater vehicles. Which is more practical...

Recently test drove both Defender and Disco, one huge issue is all future delivery models WILL be dumbed down due to chip shortage. For example to drivers side digital screen will be gone into 2024, they are reverting back to the analog screen as previous models. Other options will be severely restricted. Maybe worthwhile focusing on this issue of Dealers displaying vehicles that we cannot buy. Also LR factories in slowdown, shutdown so god knows how this would effect parts supply, the electronics issue you mention in the video Paul will likely require a non-existent replacement, this bit of kit 'must' perform flawlessly as it controls just about everything, maybe they would replace whole vehicle which has been done. We walked away.....

You can and should turn that auto lowering into access height Off. You should really only use it when entering a low parking building (that’s really what it’s for) or putting heavy/large stuff in the back. If you have it hunker down into access height and back to normal each time you turn it off you put the airbag suspension through much more than normal wear and tear and they will fail prematurely requiring repairs sooner that should be necessary. Best to just leave it in normal height and only change height as and when actually needed (use access height to let granny in sure). The problem with rear door windows going all the way down is that the manufacturer has to make the window much smaller (less wide), make the door very square or put in a little quarter glass. That’s why most never do.

@offroadingfoz

The will automatically try and level itself but it’s not safe or advisable to turn off a car when in an off-road situation where not all wheels are stable. One great thing about land rovers is they have massive oil sumps so they can have oil in engine if parked on steep hills so when you turn the car off and on it’s always got oil in engine no matter the angle (within standard operating boundaries which I think is 45degrees). Perfect for those that park on steep driveways all the time.

Great review as usual, Paul. Are you able to get your hands on a Range Rover Sport to review. Like to see that.

Thank You LR for getting rid of the stupid rotary shift knob, that is one of the things I hate with my Evoque. Hopefully they fix the infotainment issues. This is on my list since I need a 7 seatser now, if only I can find one reasonably close and Not Black or White

What do you think about the older generation D'Max Blade model

my guess is that the hatch switch that toggles the functionality of the climate control panel for the use of the cubby space behind it is a little loose or the fitting is so as the car travels along the vibrations toggle it on and off hence the constant screen changing and lighting on and off

In terms of design, I believe it is an acquired taste. In terms of functionality, it is very functional and practical.

As well as the petrol engines being awesome, the diesels are too. Also, the facelift seemed to add slightly stiffer suspension which may make off-roading and going over sudden bumps a bit more jiggly and crashy but it improves the body control and allows you to enter corners with a bit more confidence

Problem is that the Ineos Grenadier is the Old Defender. The new Defender is the Defender for the 21st century. The old design is just too old and unsafe etc. The new Defender couldn’t be the Discovery as it doesn’t look like one - it looks like a Defender. The 5th Gen Discovery looks like a Discovery. LR have got it right. For people who like to complain - start up your own car company and do it better. It’s so annoying 2 years in to hear people Still complaining about what Land Rover called what and what each vehicle is & what they think LR should have done. Move on.

I prefer all the way down, in the unlikely event of a rollover you won’t have an arm flung out of the window and onto the edge of the glass. Yes, it’s toughened glass but that stuff still has sharp edges. This is an old fear of mine from ever since I did an advanced driving course back in the early 90’s and the instructor hammered it into my brain.

is there a model year coming for 2023? and is the 2021 & 2022 only a facelift?

I love this review. Can you review the Range Rover Velar?

I’m a massive LR/RR fan. On my 4th RR. I personally really miss the previous Discovery or LR3/LR4 as sold in the US. The rear end of this model looks abnormally narrow. As a RR owner, the small flat top layer is pretty useless when you lift it to get into the bigger storage space in console. Coins or whatever tend to fall in between seats or in the lower storage area when you lift it. The LR4 was a fantastic looking true LR and used/pre-owned ones are still in very high demand here in the US.

The strange design rear tailgate and offset number plate is a nod to the past when the spare tyre used to me mounted on the rear instead of underneath. I don’t like it personally but that’s why it’s like that.

I had Bell's palsy. The rear end reminded me ...

Tyres look like highway terrains....? However, these things are amazing vehicles. Throw some smaller wheels and all terrains and they'll go anywhere*. The rear end is awesome. It's their own signature look. Plus allows owners to flex its booty. (*locations where the general population would take it)
