This is the nicest, best equipped vehicle I have ever owned. Motor was very strong with a slight turbo lag that just took some time adjusting to. It was very picky on the premium fuel and would set a light nearly every other tank for emissions, no adverse performance, just annoying. The adaptive lighting was phenomenal. We drove this 4x4 5500 miles on a trip, did a little off roading and had it up to 110 on the Bonneville Salt Flats. Averaged 24.7 mpg with 4 adults and 1 child in a car seat, plus our luggage. The high altitude mountain roads are where it outperformed every other vehicle on the road. The Navigation was worse than my 2010 TomTom and constantly rebooted. That needs to be addressed. We bought this vehicle used with 9k miles on it and saved a ton. I would definitely own another if the price was right. Longevity remains to be seen, but I personally will not own a turbo vehicle past 100k miles.

The Worst Car I Have Ever Had

This car is the worst car I have ever had. The gas mileage is not even close to as advertised. I am constantly fueling this car up and when I asked the dealer to help me he said there was nothing they could do that the car just gets bad mileage. I am sure your gas mileage statistics must be fraudulent. Worse off, the electrical system is also very poor and they are frequent battery drains which caused me to have to get my car jumpstarted. I cannot believe I still have a year left on this lease as this is the worst piece of crap and completely unreliable. I would never get a Land Rover again. Buyers beware.

I bought this car new in 2016 and maintained at the dealership for the first 3 years since it was part of a service package. After that was done I did not wanted to buy another service package since it would be too much money. I drive this car off road in the desert here in the UAE some times and it performs great given it still have normal road tires and the 19" wheels. No mechanical issues at all only a small vibration noise on the round gear selector knob, and vapor lock when refueling that is annoying. Had to replace the battery at 3 years of usage. Fuel economy is great here on mostly highways drive. Kids love the glass roof specially at night with a full moon. Happy with the car! Update after almost 5 years of ownership, only issue was around 105000 km the turbo assembly had to be replaced as this is a common failure around this milage on this engine, its not a cheap replacement but after that car is still very good on and off road. Its clocking 125000km as I write this. Still recommend this car! Update 2022; It came the time to sell this car with 141000km since I got it new. It still is one of the best cars I have ever owned. Just like any other modern vehicle, you must keep a regular maintenance to have it worry free. Only big issue in 6 years of ownership was that turbo. Great family car.

The Land Rover discovery sport is a cut from a different cloth. Environmentally friendly, fast, powerful, elegant and relatively simple. The thing I love most is the comfort. It’s roomy and tons of space for driver and family. The back can seat 3 quite comfortably and there is enough cargo room for our basic needs. Also, this car comes equipt with all wheel drive and surprising 4x4 options- there are several settings when in 4-wheel drive. Remarkable.
