2017 Land Rover Discovery | CarGurus Test Drive Review

The 2017 Land Rover Discovery luxury SUV offers real value despite its significant cost. With sedan handling and ride quality, room for 7 people and their cargo, and the ability to comfortably and safely get off-road, this new vehicle replaces the LR4 and returns the Discovery model to the U.S. market after a 13-year hiatus. Unibody construction with aluminum in the frame benefits handling and efficiency, leaving the new Discovery about 800 pounds lighter than the retired LR4.

One of the BEST presentations of this vehicle! Thank you for keeping it simple and straightforward!

Just got a subscription. This is by far the best review of this car! Great job.

[scotia]

The price for that car in the uk is £68k & only has a 3yr warranty. You guys are getting a great deal.

Best review of the discovery by far nice job

[ensatlantic]

Miuch better review than most. More in detail and with the background knowledge necessary to really give valuable info - like comparing to old model, etc.

[RichardSaling]

What is the average cost of ownership? Maintenance?

[WCisBetterThanReforged]

You didn't mention the Volvo XC90 in your competitors at the end. How does this rate against the Volvo?

[misms]

Do the Dicovery Sport test drive please.

[Alan_Mac]

Excellent review of an excellent vehicle

[tsmart]

If I only keep it for 1 year how much the value will go up for the one in this video

[jamiep]

Great Review. Always Interested how European Models do In Countries like the 🇺🇸

[thesoundofthesuburbs]

Consumer Reports weighed it in at just 300lbs less than its predecessor. Consumer Reports actually weighs the vehicles themselves to verify manufacturer claims.

[RogerBaileyOnCars]

really good review, nice natural presentation, agree with most you say, I did a review (amateur) of the Discovery 5 too, take a look ! ?

[andrewpalframan]

Why was the old Discovery called an LR4 in America?

[bfee]

Does it have ambient or ground lighting?

[neisenwoodtv]

Am I the only one that is noticing that giant headrest? That's all I can see when he's talking in the car...

[darrenphillips]

You never mentioned anything about the windscreen leaking, both passenger windows falling out.
Rear tailgate and rear light clusters filling with water, multiple ECU faults, steering wheel airbag exploding randomly, useless main dealer and the creme de le crème crankshaft made from toffee.
Worse car I’ve ever had.

[Icharis]

ive test driven this and have to disagree on alot of this... the truck feels like a huge lump on the road and the engine sounds like im back in a f150 from 1985

[blublum]

Gas prices < diesel. the mpg difference is dumb. Go with the gas. Apple carplay can be added. This guy some how reviews cars. "Journalist"

[John-hfig]

Such a shame now a ugly Discovery especially from the side and the back, from the side looks a bit like the old Vauxhall frontera. i preferred the boxy looks.
