In the dirt it prefers tyre pressures down to about 18psi and the suspension jacked up. The electronic air suspension is complex and not as durable as steel springs, but thee are over-ridden by advantages such as the flat cornering stance, the ability to raise the vehicle for off-road travel, the disregard it has for speed bumps and the cloud-like glide it gives to the ride.The steering ratio is high so needs more turns of the wheel - typical of 4WDs - but the weighting is close to perfect. Ride comfort and handling is, however, first rate. New model gets eight airbags, rear camera, front and rear park sensors, heated mirrors, bi-xenon headlights and electronic assistance including anti-trailer away, rollover stability, hill descent and hill holder, traction and stability control. Electronic air suspension allows for ground clearance from 185mm to 310mm and flattens body roll when on the bitumen. Bonus bits include the five-mode terrain assist mode that alters engine, transmission and braking to suit driver-selected road conditions. The engine is a clean-up version on the longstanding V6 that is also used in the Range Rover and Jaguar. The eight-speed automatic helps the 183kW/600Nm 3-litre bi-turbo V6 diesel to move the bulky 2.5-tonne body.

It offers a spacious seven seats, good fuel economy, lots of features, strong 3500kg tow rating plus awesome off-road ability. In relative terms, the $95,900 for the upmarket HSE version of the Disco 4 is good value. Pricing hits the mark with competitors all around the $100,000 point, though a diesel Mercedes sends it north of $120,000.
Every time I drive the Car I feel happy and emotionally satisfied personally. The plush ride and features have a price. The vehicle has so far been reliable and fewer issues reported worldwide compared to previous year models. In my opinion too far spaced although one can be done at 13000kms still far. Towbar is standard although the Tow hitch mount and ball is a paid accessory that's not good. So you need a roof rack or pod if you intend to carry much stuff. Luggage space with 7 seats up is minuscule at the rear. You definitely need side steps if you have the elderly or young kids. The tail gate is tight to latch close shut. Long distances though it's improved to 9ltr to 100kms. That is not pushing the car and driving normal. Something should be amiss.įuel economy in the city for frequent start stops and small journeys within 10kms only returns 13ltr of diesel to 100kms of distance. Better utilitarian and cheaper than the Range Rover. The gear knob popping up on start up is sensuous and has an upmarket feel.

The electronic modes work like a dream although haven't utilised all of them to full potential. However some of these depend on the dealerships tailored options and selective inclusion list and pricing negotiations.

Rear camera and sensors make ur driving easy and hassle free and safe. Eats up kilometres and road bumps with ease. Start up acceleration is not bad for a vehicle weighing 2.6 tonnes. Plush as it comes with the Air suspension. Turning radius is great too doesn't seem like a big car when turning or once you get used to driving it. Feels safe as a Cocoon, you sit in it and feel like the Emperor of the roads. 7 seats, Access height for Car parks and kids entry and exit, halogen lights at night are bright, Daytime DRL, mesmerising 11 speaker audio system and 8 speed automatic are all excellent features. Have owned the car for 6 months great till now. But this one so far has not shown a single electronic gremlin until now. I've had an old 2005 V8 petrol version before - horrendous reliability. My 2015 Discovery 3ltr TDV6 handles like a pro. Kids, wife, Dog sporting goods, groceries throw everything in and cruise along.
