Used 2019 Land Rover Discovery Sport SUV Consumer Reviews
Great Car for the size, style, and performance
This is a beautiful car at a fair price for a Land Rover. It's a lot of car in a very small footprint! (the Evoque was way too small for us). The interior and finishes are great. The glass roof is awesome. The back seat is comfortable and spacious, and the seats recline which is great. The gas mileage is not "Like an8 cylinder" as one reviewer wrote. I know because I sold my GMC Denali 8 Cylinder before buying this one and my gas mileage is WAY better. It totally depends on how you drive. The greatest feature is the ECO mode which will automatically reduce all systems to lower gas and electricity usage. Very nice to just turn on and not think about it. It will lower your performance and the strength of your AC. It seems owners need to read their manuals because it explains this. I get about 27-29 mpg on the highway and may be 15-18 city driving. If you drive aggressively you mileage will drop dramatically. The car is surprisingly quick with the turbo. If you want full performance, AC, etc turn off the ECO mode - which I do when I want best acceleration, etc. There have been issues with the Auto start/stop gas saving feature and with some random electrical/computer stuff but all is under warranty. The transmission sometimes can be less smooth than others but it's negligible. I don't think I would buy a high mileage used Land Rover because of this. My biggest complaint is, it does not have the 'Activity Key' wristband for water-sports (locking your key fob in car and going swimming without fob). It is not an option to upgrade to - which is really stupid. (still looking for a solution to this, short-sighted for and 'adventure car') All things considered, all members of my family love this car.

One of my favorite cars to drive!
First time owning a Land Rover and couldn't be more pleased. Solid driving experience, nice luxury appointments. While the car has a small footprint, interior and cargo are very roomy, especially back seat. Highly recommend.

Sweet ride!
The HSE doesn’t have all the bells and whistles - I would have loved Apple CarPlay, for example - but the heated and cooled seats, heated steering wheel, and panoramic sunroof are all nice features. The infotainment system isn’t the most intuitive and the engine fan is REALLY LOUD, but it looks great, is fun to drive, and has a good amount of space for a 5-passenger SUV. Overall, very pleased with this vehicle. UPDATE: turbo lag is often frustrating - whether in regular or Eco mode.
Bad Turbo Lag
Own a Discovery Sport. I hate the turbo lag. It's very dangerous as when pulling into traffic or needed acceleration for lane changing. I've almost been killed many times. You push the peddle and and for a few seconds nothing happens and then a big jerk. My wife thinks I'm a bad driver but when the turbo engages it jerks.

Love this car!!
It is the most comfortable and has everything at your finger tips. Sport ride for an SUV and great gas mileage!! I get 20 around town. Transmission so much smoother than past models. I’m on my third Rover!! Every time I look at other brands they just don't measure up. Especially being fun to drive!!
