Starting to consider replacement of my 2010 LR4. Still in terrific condition and runs really well but very actively used by the family and closing on 70k miles. I'd typically replace with a 2014/15 LR4 but hear talk about a totally new full size discovery coming out soon - the LR5?

Any real facts on likely release date - some places talk about 2017, others say 2017 model years to come out soon in the UK. And what about the USA?

 

I'm sure the JLR is keeping this a big secret. Although, I did a little research. Visit the technical website for JLR.

https://topix.landrover.jlrext.com

You can view free info by signing up;i.e. like owners manuals.

When selecting model and year, the site already populates 2017 info for some vehicles but not for the LR4. My assumption is the site will soon show some technical info related to the New Discovery. The site is going to be down over the weekend for major update; which may bring some changes and new info

 

New Discovery on a test track 2 days ago

 

So now someone in the UK needs to run that plate number by MOT and see what it is registered as.

handles better than any Discovery I ever drove.
