So I have stayed away for a few months as it felt a bit inappropriate to comment having moved to a different vehicle. But having sat in the D5 and given it a good look over I am as disappointed as I thought I would be. Opinions will differ of course. Some may be looking for a "British crossover". Or maybe they want to believe it is a less expensive RR. But as I consider many of you on this forum for whom the LR3/4 is truly and "adventure vehicle" I would hold on to your LR3/4 as long as possible. And if you have a 2013 or earlier all the better. The best word I can think of to describe the D5 is a "toy". A toy with a handful of new "cutsy" tech that may be "interesting" but not what would make me buy one and certainly not what I would want in an adventure vehicle. Sure, there may be marketing videos and such that will show professional drivers taking it on a carefully selected offroad track. But I would not want to take it overlanding or through areas like southern Utah or wherever. It just doesn't feel right. It feels out of place in those settings. To me anyway.
Many of you have already expressed the same reaction as I had so no need to continue to pile on.
Keep your LR3/4s and take care of them. There is no other vehicle quite like them and when they are gone none to replace them.
Hope y'all are doing well!
