Can't believe that you would think that the natural competitors for this Discovery are the Volvo XC90 and the Audi Q7. Maybe in Europe and America where -SUV's- rarely venture off the bitumen roads this might be the case. I am in regional Australia and currently have a Discovery 4, which I use for a lot of offroad touring / camping / fishing trips, including plenty of very difficult terrain. I have many friends with the Discovery 4 and other Land Rover models (plus a few with rice burner 4WD's. We all use our vehicles for their offroad ability and camping / touring practicality. Believe me when I say that the Volvo and Audi that you mentioned would not even pop up on the radar when we are considering which vehicle to buy - they simply are a non-starter in this class of vehicle - unless the vehicle you are looking for is just something for the wife to pick up the kids from school and take them to soccer practice.

Well, I am a previous RR owner and lover of the brand - great cars - followed the new Disco today on the motorway - why are the reviews missing one BIG issue, the rear - wow its hideous!
One of the ugliest cars from the back I have seen in quite a while, well years frankly!
Shame they have just made it into a RR clone - identity lost and not a great exterior design, Shame!

But the bulbous back is horrible, seems too big and removes any kind of balance and elegance the overall design could have. And what about those 'off-road' tires? They look almost like slicks!

it was never the king (except in anglo fantasies, even the new ibiza has more equipment and before this gen, the discovery had a completely subpar onroad performance

I picked mine up on Saturday just gone and couldn't be happier. It is phenomenal. I liked my LR4 but this is something different. Best in class without a doubt.

I don't think what Land Rover is claiming what they are. Lexus gx 460 all the way it's way better and breaks down less and more importantly reliability.

I would black out the aft door roof support and give it the floating roof look, that leaning foreword look does not gel to the overall look.

The exterior reminds me of a bit of the discovery sport and the Range Rover sport and the inside reminds me of the Range Rover sport
