Discovery 4

Anyone else heard about This?

I was trying to acquire a link to Discovery3 accessories to answer an ebay query, and there it was!! I know I've been a bit "out of the loop" in many respects lately, but FFS!      


I don't especially like the RRS look of it but they have upped the engine capacity to 3.0l with the sequential 'box, and a few other cosmetic tweaks too.

L-R, you SUCK!!

It's been known about for a long time!

That's why they have been doing good deals on the Disco 3.

I like.

Looks a lot smarter than the 3 which is starting to look a bit old to me.

I likey, likey. The interior a real step forward from the Dico3 and the new engine should be good too. Shame there isn't a SWB 3 door though.

As Autocar said, it's almost a 7 seat Range Rover now and prices have not increased that much. I guess that the move to make it more quality feeling is so as to differentiate it from the 7 seat Freelander that is supposed to be coming along at the same time as the LRX.

I also like the interior on the new RR sport too, but I do wish they did a "de-blinged" version.

The HSE as tested in the article is the equivalent to Helen's - at £3 & a good bit thousand more than her OTR price would have been.

That works out at roughly 8% on my calculator, so a not insignificant rise I'd say.

I think the new front end looks pretty awful.

I thought the Discovery 3 was the best looking Land/RangeRover, possibly the best looking 4x4.

I prefer the new front end. The old one looked like it was made of Lego.

Mmmm, perhaps, but the new one looks virtually identical to that found on "Ned the Dealer's" blinged RRS.

Not a good look for a 'serious' off-roader IMHO.
