LANDROVER MONTHLY 153

DISCOVERY3 / 4

2004 to 2017

THEYLOOK identicalat

fi rst glance, but under the

skin the third andfourth-

generation Discoverys are

very different. Early D3s

suffered reliability issues,

causedby water ingress

into the electrics, but D4s

are pretty bulletproof.

No rust issues. Hugely

capacious andversatile

familycars, capable of

seating seven. They have

won countless awardsfor

best tow car and look as

stylish asever. Gaining in

popularity with enthusiasts

now Defenders aregetting

so expensive.

BUYER’S TIP:Great value

for money butparts can be

expensive. Values falling.

RANGEROVER
SPORT 2
2013 to present
ALTHOUGH THE RangeRover
Sport 2 is nowcascading
downto the secondhand
market, a new one may
prove a tempting purchase
for tho se considering buying
a secondhand RangeRover

4. It is £20k cheaper, and
   performance, handling and
   economy are all better than
   its big brother. Brilliant
   off-road, but unlikelyto
   see much mud. It hasa
   reputation for gr eat
   reliabilitytoo.

BUYER’S TIP:Not cheap.

DISCOVERYSPORT

2015 to present

WHILE ONpaper itreplaces

the Freelander 2, inreality

the Discovery Sport is avery

different beast altogether.

Like all LandRovers, it ’s built

to be best in classoff-road,

but its on-road handling is

astonishing,too. LRM's Dave

Phillipsgot the opportunity to

drive itfor hours onsolid ice,

in Iceland, and it never puta

tyre wrong. Is this the best-

ever winter car? Considering

all the newcutting-edge

technology, thisversatile mid-

size SUVrepresents excellent

value for money.

BUYER’S TIP:Plenty of

secondhand onesto choose

from now.

DISCOVERY

2017 topresent

THE FIFTH-GENERATION

Discovery doesn't get a

number after its name, but

there's no mistaking what

it is with itsstriking new

looks(which have ruffl ed a

few feathers). It is also more

capable, on- andoff-road,

than anyof its predecessors

as well as more economical

to run thanks inpart to the

new JLR Ingeniumseries of

engines. We have no doubt

that it willsoon be winninga

lot of awardsfor the best tow

car, just like its predecessors.

BUYER’S TIP:Still arguably

the most versatile Land

Rover.

VELAR

2017 topresent

THE LATEST additionto

the LandRover family is

yet another RangeRover.

Solihull spotted avery small

gap be tween theEvoque and

the Sport, and theVelar has

been designedto squeeze

into it. This probably isn't the

sort of car you would riskat

a weekend'spay and play

off-road course, but ifyou did

you might be surprisedat its

ability. There is a lotof tech

packaged into this luxury

vehicle – but it doesn't come

cheap.

BUYER’S TIP:This is

defi nitely oneto impress the

neighbours.
