    2019 Discovery Td6 HSE Lux Farallon Black

    New day, new d5

    Sad to say after 18500 trouble free miles my Nov 68 plate discovery 5, which was great, has gone on its journey to a new home...whoever gets it will have a good car, although its been used on the farm, off road, towing, motorway, city work absolutely everything its designed for - but im not sad to see it go

    ...

    Im not sad because its been replaced by this, despite both being HSE Lux (last one black this is the premium grey), this has all the options (and the last had a lot) i could tick, ticked...i have to say, its awesome, love it more than the last - new features are ace its now effectively able to drive itself and i love having 360 cameras back...all in brilliant! There werent any build issues with the last, but i can help but feel this none solihull car is built better too Shocked dual view front screen got my mate and the HUD is now essential!

    It still doesnt have andriod or apple car play and i cant be bothered for an argument with the dealer, like the last time they didnt do it...what to do/what to say - i shouldnt have to pay

    Without doubt, the best Discovery ever owned and im close to saying the best land rover owned and ive owned all of them, some multiple times. I have to say, even if you are a d4 lover...get into one and try it for a bit - you wont go back. (I even sat in the 3rd row seats for a drive to see and they are all great)

    Good to hear, as I will, hopefully soon, go from a MY18 lux to a MY20 lux, with most of the options ticked as well!
    Very curious about the adaptive suspension (and a bit less about the difference TD6-SD6, although some extra torque is always nice!)
    I hope to have it in October...

    Engine was/is the same on both and to be fair the suspension is also the same, it does feel a little better handling wise

    Is the smartphone pack still not standard on a 2019?

    No, my 2017 has Incontrol Apps , Apple carplay and Android Auto. Then for example when i plug in my phone it asked if i wanted ICA or AA as the default.

    2019 Discovery SDV6 HSE Lux Carpathian Grey

    Great choice mse - same colour as mine which is due next week. I'm looking forward to the HUD/360 etc.

    What prompted you to change the previous one so quickly, lack of a particular option?

    Yeah, i thought until 2019 models it was dealer install only and they dont like doing it for free so i believe.


    Mine did it without asking when updating the software from the 4 tile to 3 tile system. But i had complained so much about their service etc i assumebthey thought it would keep me quiet

    Change for us happens every 6-9 months but miles - i do do a few!

    Im still surprised that car play wasnt on this, when the last one went in for a service i had the argument it should have had it and they tried to fob me off its chargeable on pre MY20 cars. Knowing this one was coming i left it but now this one doesnt have it, im back to square one. Im not going to pay for (nor can i really be bothered to take it to a dealer just for this) but i sense if i took it in again it would be another argument - they literally got all the service team to convince me it couldnt be done without paying for it and is only shipping with MY20 cars
