United Kingdom 2016 Discovery 4 3.0 TDV6 HSE Auto Bonatti GreyDiscovery 4

Pretty sure mine has the leather dash? I think all the HSE's I've had have had a leather dash (2011, 2014 and 2016), not sure what RSE is, it has the meridan sound system and not sure about mood lighting but i'd be shocked if those few things mean a £5k premium tbh!

United Kingdom 2016 Discovery 4 3.0 TDV6 Landmark LE Auto Santorini BlackDiscovery 4

RSE- Rear screen entertainment. Not standard on an HSE.

The extended leather package or whatever the official name is, is also not standard on the HSE. The HSE as standard, did not have the premium audio ( speakers on the rear pillars being the obvious visual clue).

Mood lighting consists of little lights set into the door cards and perhaps elsewhere.

The run out model Landmark is basically an HSE Luxury, with much more limited colour choices both interior and exterior and without the perforated leather steering wheel and the inability to add further specification as options.

Ah Ok, cheers, i'd be surprised if those few spec differences would add £5k from new though, let alone on a second hand valuation at 5 years old.

I think the biggest factor price wise will be between EU5 & EU6 engines, but 'specced up' run out models will always be in favour.

I had a hell of a job finding a replacement 2016 Landmark when my previous one was smashed up in March 2017. The D5 had been launched, some prospective buyers were looking at it and asking the dealer to find them a 2016 D4. After 5 days of solid searching, I ended up having to go up to Manchester to a non LR broker. I lost track of the times I phoned and was told the D4 I was enquiring about had been sold straightaway.

No question the 5 is a better car I'm sure, but could you wake up every day looking at the fugly Censored end?

Depends how you define 'better'.

The D4 is better in many ways than the D5:

Better shaped load space
Better middle seats
Better rear seats
Better visibility
Better materials that are more wear resistant
Better rear
Better looking in general

United Kingdom 2016 Discovery 4 3.0 SDV6 HSE Lux Auto Corris GreyDiscovery 4

The WBAC on my 2016 HSE Lux with 23k miles came in at £31,245.

I have been tracking this price for some months now and it keeps ticking up by £1k every few months at this point. Fairly sure the demand (and prices) are continuously increasing.

4. The very high loading height. My poor old collie would never be able to get up there now, not even with his ramp. He even now struggles with the Fatty and the load height there is around 4" lower.



Can I ask how high the load height actually is on a D5 please?

Thanks,

Well, I just had my 2016 D4 with 25K miles valued by WBAC at £33,530, quite a pleasant surprise.

I’ve not had an option to measure that in a while. I can tell you what it is in the Fatty...

Standard ‘low’ setting (there’s no “extra low” setting)) is between 31 1/2” and 32”. The last time I checked on a ‘5, the absolute ‘lowest possible’ height (using the button inside the boot as well), brought the back on the D5 down to a level where it could match the D4’s load height IN ITS STANDARD RUNNING HEIGHT.

England 2015 Discovery 4 3.0 SDV6 SE Tech Auto Montalcino RedDiscovery 4

Hi all had my D4 from new in 2015 .......... I have had some issues with it but all fixed under extended warranty..... mine has now clocked 74k ...... I have around another 2 years of extended warranty protection........ so my view was keep it - it is smooth quiet and powerful + I can get 40mpg on a run at around 67mph not bad! I think I will keep it as long as feasibly possible - as I tow a caravan. To me it looks very like the new defender LWB which is about 70k! .... one day an EV may tempt me - but battery life and towing are not compatible at the moment...but it will come. The D4 engine is complex and sensitive....but god knows what the Euro 6 engines are like....one of the garage mechanics told me that they run on knife-edge..... I think Jaguar Landrover are very slow in their EV approach. Hybrids do not interest me they are the worst of both worlds in terms of complexity and weight.

Dont personally think EV and towing will ever be bed fellows . Hydrogen will make it feasible.
Just been through the D4-D5 process and decided D4 was the way to go . I have many farming friends who went D5 after 4 and all regretted it ! even with the issues they had with 4s

I moved a couple of years ago from a 2012 HSE LR4 to a 4.4 v8 RRS 2016 Auto Bio and I am just about to swap back to the 2016 LR4.

That says it all for me.
