Thread: Discovery 5

That rear picture of the Disco5 doesn't make it look all that bad - still a bit square, ground clearance looks OK.......

Or they go round the side a long way,similar to the latest RR,but maybe further,which IMHO is fugly.

What about that rear glass though........much smaller and the lower bit is gone

that whole rear glass bit/surround looks,, funny,,
I just hope they dont copy the C pillar from everybody else. Its bad enough the Sport looking like a territory.

They've got a shroud on the back window to disguise the rear end shape. It will likely be the same/similar as the D5 Concept:

A little more info, I can see a big price difference now with all the new tech!

Anyone else doing the "do I wait / don't I wait" argument in their head (or with SWMBO)...on this?
My D4 lease is almost up, and I'm soooooo tempted to jump into a new one; the D5 is scheduled out late 2016 but here in 2017 IIRC, but I'd personally want to wait a bit to iron out those annoying gremlins.

I know new models generally improve on the old, but I'm also starting to look a little sideways at shape, space, driving position of the D5 spy pics.
I wonder what the new Defender will be like? (!!)

This was one of the reasons I bought last year.

The D5 will be out in Europe in late 16 but they are talking about 3rd quarter 17 here.

Add a year for the wait list to die down & pricing to become realistic i.e. some people are paying close to what I paid for my D4 for a Discovery Sport.

The they are also saying the D5 will be moving up market again similar to the difference between the D3 & D4 - so more expensive.

Then there is the Defender - this will not come out until 18 but they reckon it will be spectacular with many different models & body configurations.
They are saying that there will be existing D4 & future D5 owners that will prefer the new Defender.

So I would wait until there is more news on the Defender or D5 & if you don't like want you here buy a D4 which I am sure by then will have more included value.
