Only thought on that - with taxation and fuel costs is it a good idea to be buying previous generation technology regardless of the absolutely superb packaging it is in.

I absolutely think the Discovery is a great vehicle and wouldn't want to replace but the only thing that let's it down in my opinion (ignoring reliabililty all the time mine is ok!) is fuel economy.

Stop/Start, 700kg+ off the kerb weight and better engines to give a faster, smoother and far more economical vehicle would be the clincher.

Tech-wise it does everything I need and want - the rest is just titillation and novelty value

There's no ignoring the next gen could cost an owner almost thousands a year less to run*

*Grossly exaggerated assumptions apply

There's a lot of headroom from a £50K D4 to whatever the cost of a new D5 will be*

*Based upon a new RRS being over £80K
