I'm here for info on the new 2017 Discovery HSE Diesel.

 

Welcome and likely you will be teaching us about that new Disco

 

Welcome and congrats on the very new diesel Disco.

 

Oh I don't have one yet. I don't think they are even being built yet. I came here looking for info on the newest Disco with diesel option.

 

This could only be John M. How have you been?

 

You are amazing Mr. B. How did you know? Surprised to see me here?

 

When you know a guy with a specific nick name from a specific town, there was no way it wasn't you.
Yes, I'm very surprised to see you here.

Something in particular you are looking for on the 2017?

 

Seeking any pre-release info I can find. With production to begin mid 2017, I am surprised not to see a forum section yet for the LR5 with TD6 engine (if they call it that).

I have a 2016 Rubicon and planned to trade it in on the new model Rubicon with diesel in 2019 but Fiat keeps pushing out the diesel for NAS market.

So, I am venturing towards the dark side......Land Rover. It will absolutely see off-road. My 2016 Rubicon got trail pin stripping with less then 100 miles on it.

 

If I remember when I get to work, I'll look around on Topix and see what I can dig up.

 

I "heard" that with the TD6 mpg could be as high as 39 mpg. Is that NAS 3.0L TD6 a completely brand new engine for LR5? If so, I don't want the first year model.
