Disco 4 and Range Rover Sport Chassis

Grayo · Nov 23, 2012

Hi All,

This has probably been answered loads of time already but hopefully somebody can answer my question.

Is the Disco 4 built on the same chassis as a range rover sport. I was told it was but not 100% sure grateful for any help.

Thanks

Grayo

They are monocoque construction so not a chassis as such....

Turns out I was talking ****e, ignore me

It's the new (L405) range rover that is monocoque, the Disco 4 and RRS have a different setup ('integrated body frame' mounted on a ladder frame chassis). The other halfs uncle works for LR, I can ask the question if nobody else knows!

d3s and d4 have 2 chassis a lader chassis like a defender and a monocouque like a normal car. these are then bolted together. i dont know about the rangie but it does not have the same monocouque chassis as the d4 and d3 as youd be able to see a similarity between the door pillars and windscreen, roof

Thanks for the replys lads, still no definate answer yet thou. I can't see what difference the body shells would make as I would have thought each could be fitted.

As far as i have been told the sport and disco hold the same chassis and it's what is put on this that changes each vehicle.

Both Chassis are different in length.

In land rover word magazine. The article on bowler,Mr Bolwer does say both disco 4 and rr sport share same chassis.

same chassis different bodies dropped on top

Thanks for all the answers lads. This begs the question now if or more than likely when I choose to buy either a disco 2.7 or range rover 2.7, which one would you go for. I love the range rover and if I'm being honest that is the one I'll be going for but I also like the disco and having the option of 7 seats would be a great help. Price wise there's not a lot of difference the disco being slightly cheaper on comparison. So what would you go for Disco or RR. ???

Ps I also tow a large caravan.

Sorry, I appologise, just checked at work & they are indeed the same chassis

I'd go for the disco, more space for things, the option to carry 7 adults, plus I don't like the footballer image of the range rover, no real use apart from posing
