Easily the BEST Land Rover Discovery Sport review I've seen yet. I don't know why all these other reviewers do a 5 minute video that doesn't even scratch the surface. Buying a car (particularly a family car) is such a huge investment. Thank you so much. I know this the car I want to get now.

That's a very good review and you're English is exceptional. Thanks for the review!

I've watched over a dozen Discovery Sport review videos in the past couple of months but yours was a great and balanced review. I also learned some new information. I agree with you Thomas that the compact SUV market is quite crowded, but Land Rover seem to have settled on a balance between on/off capability and styling/materials in relation to pricing. The Discovery Sport may not please some people but your informative review, and very excellent presentation I might add, is enjoyable to watch. My HSE is on order and is scheduled to arrive to USA in July.

jonatecu01 love to hear that, thanks m8! And have a lot of fun with your new car!

This is an excellent review - really enjoyed it and learned quite a bit. In fact, we just bought a pre-owned '17 Disco Sport HSE last night - it came with the Climate Comfort Package, Driver Assist Plus Package and the Wheel Lock Pack. It's for our 2nd home in Nevada (USA)...we live most of the year in Virginia (USA). Bought it at Land Rover Henderson...has 41.6K miles on it. This is my 5th Land Rover - I've also had a Disco 1, LR3, LR4 and currently have an Evoque for our home in Virginia. BOTTOM LINE - loving the Disco Sport - the features, ride, technology is all perfect for us as we're only going to be putting 100-150 miles on it a month.

Forced Adventure great that you are with us with a lot of reviews!

I think Land Rover have been very clever with the market positioning of the Discovery. Firstly it is now a stand-alone brand designed to be separate and distinct from Range Rover. Discovery is to be practical, adaptable, rugged, an off-roader that is good on-road. Range Rover is to be refined, plush and sophisticated, an on-reader that is good off-road. Discovery is now more distinct from the X3, Q5 and XC60, not so premium but tougher. My wife went shopping for an Evoque three years ago and came back with a Freelander for just that reason. Terrific review and would like to see you cover the Range River Sport one day.

The new ingenium engine is now in the Discovery sport. It's now in the number one spot in comparisons to the BMW X3 and Merc GLC according to both "Autocar" and "What car" motor magazines.

totally agree with Thomas, this thing should be marketed as Freelander successor instead of damaging the Discovery tag.The dealer should include a river/stream in the test route and let it do some wading and it would be more enjoyable. it would be nice to see some announcement of actual fuel consumptions at the end of the review for thirsty offroaders in future. wondering how many hours the Autogefuhl team spend on every car review, not to mention the back-of-the house team members. Thomas must have been spending hours busy climbing in & out the car to study thoroughly before the cameramen come in! btw, he got a pair of nice loose-fit pants there LOL! everytime i click on an AUtogefuhl video, i know what im expecting & i know what i'll get. keyword: consistency. Well done to the Autogefuhl Team ! Autogefuhl ~ quality assured ! it worth every second of the 38 minutes video.

Calvin So So great to hear that, those comments keep us going!! Indeed there is so much involved with every video and its just so great when you guys appreciate that. Hehe yeah these are some adventure trousers blocking wind and actually very comfortable for outdoor stuff :) About the Freelander, yeah I would probably have kept it that way indeed. Fuel consumption was about 9-10 litres for the 2.2 Diesel however there was also offroad included. I know the old petrol engine used some 12-13 litres / 100 km but now with the new ZF 9 speed that might have been improved. Looking forward to the new Ingenium Diesel how that one will perform. Will test that one in the Jaguar XE in a couple of days and will tell you guys

Loved the review thanks a lot for helping......

Hello Thomas. Nice locale for a car review! Looks like fun. I like the exterior styling of this car except for the "D I S C O V E R Y" badging (too much). As for the interior I find it underwhelming. I would take one of the competitor's models in spite of a higher price point. Seeing the engine bay so dirty was hard to take ;) You were right on with the leather seats looking several years old. Thanks for the great detailed review. Ciao ciao.

Thanks Thomas - awesome reviews as ever. Have you ever done any reviews outside of Europe, say Australia? You have quite the following here... I am in the market for mid size suv and with these enhancements I think the Disco sport looks like the winner. Will post if I take the plunge. Keep up the great reviews.

@autogefuehl

8 жыл бұрын

hey Brian! Not that frequently, sometimes on the motor shows like in Beijing, once in Nepal, no Australia yet :)

It seems to confuse many reviews that JLR have two models, the Evoque and Disco-Sport, in the same luxury, mid-size category. Presumably, JLR figure that people looking for sealed road dynamics (i.e. BMW X3 end of spectrum) will compare performance against the Evoque. However buyers looking for unsealed road and track (off-road) performance will compare the Discovery Sport rather than Evoque and, for example, the BMW X3 would not be considered at all for such buyers. This makes a reviewer's job more difficult when comparing the JLR offerings to the Audi/Merc/Volvo/BMW same-class SUVs.

and were do you keep the emergency weel?

Whenever I get in a modern Range Rover the first thing I notice is how uncomfortable it is on ordinary roads. The sideways roll is very noticeable. Is this less of an issue with air suspension that you mentioned others in the range have, or is this sideways roll a nature of the beast with the higher centre of gravity? Excellent video. I like your methodical style.

Wishwader I have not experienced much of the sideways roll nor the break diving in the Evoque 2013. I'd say it is rather stiff, and I mean it even without the magnetic suspention turned on. This is called the Adaptive Dynamic Suspension , and it stiffens the car even more. Maybe the LR Discovery Sport has it more, but as the author mentioned - it has way softer suspension than the Evoque's. And that must be truth, as other reviewers say it too. Thomas calls it - more comfort in there than in Evouqe. But I'd call it - more roll. So you see, get a proper Range Rover , with magnetic stiffers, and you are fine with sideways rolling.

Thanks again for this detailed review! Agree the beige seats look bad already :( So does the center console design with mate plastic, I also find the tail lights too big I was disappointed when i discovered it at Paris show

I saw reviews of customers that are not quite happy with the electrics and error messages that keep appearing. Another thing is the consumption. I am interested in the automatic 2.0 TD4 150 and I am not trusting the brochure's consumption rating of 5,3 l/100km. Can you convince me otherwise?

***** Yes, I just watched it. With a new face, it is a Journey. As you have seen, the quality is lacking (typical of a cheap American vehicle). The only bright spot of the vehicle is the 213mm infotainment system. This is used across the Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep line-up and is very clean and thought out well. If I were running the show at FCA, I'd push all of the "supposed" SUV's to Dodge and keep Jeep true to real SUV's.

Woah, interior looked super old, like 2005 Discovery!

Good review ! - the car has nice exterior although JLR appear to be reducing the differentiator between the Range Rover and Land Rover brands by using the design language from the Evoque on this car. What surprises me is how ordinary the interior design is - the centre console carrying the climate controls and media screen looks 5 years old already and seems to have neither the style of a Range Rover or the functional/tough look you would expect from a Land Rover product. All the reviews I have read and watched including yours say the car is OK but recommend customers wait for the new engines - not really what you would expect of a new model ! Overall, it gives the impression of car that was designed on a (tight) budget. Styling is derivative, interior is dull and the engines are old - personally, I don't see anything that would compel me too consider the car other than the brand itself.

I was thinking the same, it's way off. Ford may have incorporated early discovery concept designs to the Explorer when they owned Land Rover and I think in an attempt to keep an originality land rover came up with this. The explorer looks more like a Land Rover vehicle than it does a ford. This on the other hand...

The old 2.2 Ford engines are good but avoid the 2.0 JLR engines like The Plague. As with most JLR engines, they have an inherent design fault. This one is wrt the DPF position. It is too far from the engine. Continued short journeys causes the filter to clog and the engine will destroy itself. I owned an XF, 2.7 and it happened to mine even though I drove 40-100 miles every day. Shocking design with absolutely NO accountability. JLR will just laugh at you. 👎👎

Why are all still buying Landrovers... knowing, this car is so unreliable.. check KZread for Disovery SP Problems.. it's a shame.

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!
