Had my Disco ordered before they went on sale in the US, it came in a week after they were released here. HSE Si 6 in Frienze Red Metallic with the blackout package. The ride, comfort, handling and performance is excellent. Love it. I have had no problems with it. I have had it for almost two years now and the Dealer just upgraded the infotainment system like the new Velar to include Apple Car Play and Android something. It stills rides like new and what it can do off road is unreal. If you are looking for a great riding, great looking large SUV, there is nothing better. 11/22/19 I've had it for 2 1/2 years now and it has not been in the dealer for any warranty work. Its now the end of May 2020. Runs great, no warranty work at all. 45,000 and all I did was change oil, filters, brakes and tires. I use it to tow my 28' camper and have no problems. Still looks, runs and rides like new, I love it. Nov. 2020, 51,000 miles. Someone finally made AT tires for my SUV instead of the Goodyear's that came on it. TOYO Open Country AT3. Disco still runs great, looks great and no major service problems. 5/30/21 - 64,000 miles. Still no problems, no repairs and still runs and looks great. Just turned 70,000, (6/1/22) still no problems and no dealer visits for repairs. Still looks great, runs great and rides like new. Turned 79,000, December 1,2022. No dealer visits for repairs. Runs like new, Great ride, excellent performance. This by far is the best vehicle I have ever owned and I have owned all three of the big three. You have to drive it for a month to appreciate it, then you will not want anything else. It's now 5/31/23. Had my first service repair, a new water pump and super charger gasket, 84,414 miles. Still runs great and looks great. With the transmission and horsepower combination the Disco is a joy to drive and throw in the air suspension with the ability to raise and lower the car, and you have the perfect combination. December 1, 2023, Still looks and runs great, no service problems, no problems of any kind. 91,000 miles now and still a joy to drive. Looking forward to winter to having fun in the snow. The Disco was 6 years old in June and I plan on keeping it for a long time. It's June 1st, 2024. Everything I said above still holds true, got almost 95,000 on it now. It still looks and drives like new, and the best part (I got the pink slip daddy - thanks Beach Boys). Its now December 3, 2024, I've got 105,000 on it now, don't drive as much as I did. Had new plugs installed and had the engine decarboned. Runs great, getting 18 miles per gallon avg. Looks and runs great. Still looks new. Love it. It's now June 2025, 110,000 thousand miles on it now had a factory recall for a back door latch and a computer upgrade. Still looks and runs great.

Initial quality was terrible.. just terrible. Do not believe dealer did anything to prep or check vehicle before handing if off to us. List of issues so far, after 200 miles: 1. Found unexplained loose clamp in engine bay 2. Wire hanging loose below undercarriage. 3. Rear cargo battery compartment cover totally broken. Nothing holding it closed. Major safety issue in my opinion. 4. Check engine light coming on for no reason. 5. DEF fluid low warning, should have been full. 6. Air conditioner only works on passenger side. 6. Infotainment system / Navigation was totally totally useless on first trip. Since cleared up but don't trust it. 7. Car shuts off when shifted to Park whether you want it to or not. 8. Impossible to check DEF, Engine Oil, or brake fluid levels in engine bay. 9. Panels in rear cargo area are very cheaply made. The Land Rover Discovery is currently at the dealer being worked on. Just very disappointed in the car. Will not buy Land Rover again.

Love the car, everything works great, Im getting 22 mpg combine and 28 MPG on the freeway.After 4,500 miles there is no problem with the car, car drives like new and everything works great. Only complain I will have is the trunk space behind the 3rd row. Engine in very powerful and you can feel the power during acceleration. Overall Im very happy with this purchase and my kids love the 3rd row. Car feels very luxurious inside and navigation and all the technology works well. I testdrove Audi Q7 and it felt like a minivan, very low driving position and very small 3rd row. I testdrove Volvo xc90 and I loved the car but the small 2.0 engine concern me so in the end I choose the Discovery and I feel I make the right decision.

Poor technology and poor customer service

My problem with land rover started from the beginning. This is my first land rover discovery and I loved the look and ride. However, poor knowledge of salesman, poor service department support and poor management of the local dealership as well as corporate office is the worst I have experienced in luxury brands. As much as the car cost, you expect the best customer service from luxury brands which I have experienced with other luxury brands. However, Land Rover’s very slow responses from locan and corporate headquarters to their inability to address the problem quickly is making me very frustrated. It has been four months since I bought the car and I still have not able to use the activity key. They are still telling me it is a software issue that has to be addressed from the corporate. My problem is that why did you sell the car and made it sounds like that you only have to set it up to work. Back and forth between the dealership and the lack of knowledge of what is going on is absurd with the company of this size. I am still waiting and no apologies and they are just asking me to wait. What about the unreliability of their phone app. You will be lucky to have their app working once in may be 50 attempts. You constantly gets poor connectivity alert to just not working app. They still have not addressed the issue. I believe this is a false advertisement in their part that they are selling cars that they are advertising as if the activity key of land rover is working but in reality it is not. How long does it take to fix this kind of an issue? How about their service department? It might have been my local dealership but the difficulty of getting in touch with the service managers to lack of reponse from the general manger when you contact them just amazes me. this will be my last Land Rover. I wanted to experience Land Rover and I do like their car but bad customer service is big part of purchasing a car for me, and it is not worthy it in the future. December 2018. I had this car for about a year now and had more issues then any other cars. Beginning of December, this car had leak from the front windshield that soaked the top of the interior and water through the inside of the car. When I took the car in, they knew the problem saying that landrover had problem with the front windshield and problem with the sealing. I was stunned because I didn't receive any notice from dealership or company. They kept the car because I cannot drive that car with leaking and soaked interior. It is not January 16th 2019, car is still at the dealership and dealership continue to have problem getting the windshield from landrover. They cannot even locate the windshield. I have the loaner but missing my car that has my XM radio and data is getting old. I just cannot believe they cannot even locate the windshield and also have no idea when it will be done. No phone call from the manager to apologize or explain the situation. Never getting landrover again. They don't have organization, service and reliability that is required for the supposedly luxury SUVs. I finally got rid of the discovery. Trade in value was worst that I ever had with any other car. I knew it was bad but no dealers wants to give any money for this car. Excuses....hard to find the comparable value, there are not many cars to compare, nobody wants used landrover right now... I thought the one of the selling point of landrover was that there are not that many. At the end, I was completely dis-satisfied with the landrover quality of the car but also the service of the company and dealership. I am not getting landrover in the future. I changed my car to BMW X7. Love the car. Love the dealership and service.

Purchased the 2017 Discovery with high hopes. Within a month the air conditioner stopped working. It was in service for over 40 days of the 6 months I’ve owned it. They replaced the AC, did everything they could yet it would not blow cold air. When temps are above 100 degrees with a baby in the back seat, it gets very concerning. Land Rover has emailed me they are purchasing the car back after I opened up a formal case and it taking 30 days of review, but are now taking their sweet time getting back to me with details on the repurchase (it’s been 2 weeks). Car looks great, but us surpringly small inside, has a rough ride, and has the unfixable issue with AC. Dealership was very nice to deal with.
