Thread: Disco vs RR Vogue

For me it was about practicality and space. A D4 makes for a better tourer.

Hands Down the Vogue wins.
If you haven't driven one then don't bother commenting.
Only reason we all buy a D4 is we can't afford the Vogue.

Welcome back sniegy. Haven't seen you on here for ages.

On a related matter, this is a bit like asking what's the difference between 1st / Business / and economy air tickets.

From someone who has never experienced anything but 'cattle class,' I feel somewhat envious of those who can afford the other.

If I could afford a RR Vogue I suspect I'd have one without a second thought to my D4.

I have a 2004 Vogue. Lovely car to drive but I think the D3/D4 might have more useful space.

I have a vogue, and service/repair many discos and l322s. There are many reasons i chose a l322 vogue over a d3/4...

Drive them back to back and do an honest appraisal of their maintenance and repair costs over a 2 year period and you'll soon get the picture 😎

Ron - welcome back , good to see you back on the forum.

Cheers Ean

Do you need another ear bashing Ranga?
The D4 is an excellent vehicle, no question. IMHO, the L322 TR Vogue, is simply better as a used option, other than for cargo space.

But I'm biased.

Features not in a SE or basic D3/4 but on Vogue with TR:
• dipping mirrors
• reversing cameras
• electric memory seats with lumber support and front arm rests (lower D4 models missed out on arm rests)
• memory side mirrors
• memory steering wheel position
• his and her keys that will put seat, side mirrors and steering wheel into his and her preferred position
• bumper sensors front and back
• min 11 speakers (povo pack) with 14 speakers on the Lux L322.
• blue tooth phone connection.
• v8 kw/nM.
• probably more comfy seats
• no timing belts
• heated front seats on povo pack, front & rear heated seats on lux Vogue and V8SC
• cooled front seats on Lux Vogue & V8SC
• rear AC controls
• rear vid screens on the Lux Vogue
• large centre info screen with TV (TV's not that impressive)
• power outlets for rear seat passengers
• rear suspension strut/spring is simpler on L322 (shock is outside air spring) which allows a single strut to be carried as spare for left and right side.
• suspension compressor on Vogue is inside vehicle and not under body like D3/4 and exposed to damage
• suspensions arms are cast steel rather than pressed sheet steel
• xenon headlights/LED tail light (D3 S & D4 lower spec missed out on Zenon head lights).

With a 2013 + D4 SD, HSE or 5.0 V8 the choice becomes harder compared to an early Vogue.
