We decided to throw caution to the wind regarding the potential reliability issues with the Disco and dive in with a great deal on a 2018 leftover lease. Love the Diesel!! Excellent drivetrain, shared with the big dog Range Rover. Smooth, powerful and quiet. Overall 25 MPG in mixed driving of this 5000lb tank, I can’t imagine needing anything more... Beautiful interior, obviously lots of space, excellent LED headlights. Super comfortable seats and commanding seating position. 0 issues at this point....nit picking includes the less than bright interior lights, and having to use an exterior EZ pass due to the heated windshield. I even like the in control app, which in our experience, does what it’s supposed to do!

JUL2022 Update: Back to loving my 2018 LR Discovery. LR USA acknowledged and corrected all concerns Spring 2020. Has most recently issued a windshield recall to correct systemic windshield/sealant issues. SUV remains a comfortable, versatile and mechanically reliable ride. JAN2020 Update: Change of heart - predominantly regarding Land Rover failure to honor vehicle warranty in a reasonable timeframe. My 2018 Discovery HSE LUX experienced a failed front windshield seal (per LR maintenance tech) in early DEC 2019 that allowed significant rain water intrusion into the cabin - soaking the headliner, filling the center console with water, and soaking the passenger side floor board from behind the glove compartment (to be clear - all windows were closed). Upon start up - the HUDS malfunctioned due to electrical system shorting from the water intrusion behind the dashboard (per the LR maintenance tech). My LR dealer acknowledged this problem as not unique to my vehicle - and fixed the windshield seal. However - I (and my LR dealer) have been fighting LR UK for six weeks now trying to get them to release replacement HUDS components for my SUV's repair. In meantime - I found my passenger rear seat heating to be non operative. Fighting similar parts battle with LR to repair seat heat. For the record - the Voice Navigation system has never worked and is the absolute worst of any vehicle I have ever owned. Repeated trips to dealer have yet to correct this Vox Navigation software deficiency, nor have they brought me any closer to correcting the other stated warranty issues. I have recently submitted a Lemon complaint to LR USA Customer Relations as a result. Awaiting their review and feedback. NOV2018 Original: Wife and I went on a Land Rover off road excursion at the Biltmore Estate the winter prior to making the purchase. Enjoyable and informative morning driving through the snow covered trails! Worth the time if you're new to the LR Brand. When we were ready to move into a new SUV - the LR dealer actually allowed us to test drive our new Discovery over a long weekend before making the decision to buy. Beautiful design and color combo right off of the show room floor - an Eye Catcher. Fell in love! Has been a great road trip and weekend getaway SUV - Fun to drive - Comfortable and roomy. Very cool HUD - Handles well - Quiet on the road. Plenty of power - Surprisingly smooth transmission. Functional - Has accommodated 7 adults, Carried my bikes, and towed my 6500 lb boat all with equal ease. Take time to learn the infotainment system - you won't be disappointed. Overall very pleased with our purchase!

Landrover Discovery 5 Meltdown

I purchased a 2017 Discovery Diesel in November 2017. I've had it at the dealership for multiple reasons since owning it. I also had the leaking windshield and it took months for them to get another windshield. After that was replaced I sill had condensation forming in the vehicle. The dealership took it back, removed the carpeting and "let it dry out". Now I have what appears to be a place that has melted on the rear spoiler just to the left of the LED light in the spoiler. The dealership said I or someone / something must have done it. I've shown it to a dozen folks and no one can figure it out. I don't know exactly when it happened as I don't always notice that spoiler. All I know is it happened between Jan 18th - march 03 2019. I wish I could figure out how it happen / what happened. Spoiler is said to be $1500 and then it has to be painted.

So initially the infotainment was horrible but the latest update made it at least average. The car rides great. It handles snow with no problem. Recently during a big rain it started leaking down the front center light area. I have never had a new car leak from a rain. Very disappointing Update after 1.5 yrs. overall love the Disco. Some first model year quality issues - Infotainment much better but several times a year you have to go to the dealer for an update. Windshield leaked during a rainstorm but the dealer quickly fixed it. This is the best vehicle I have owned. Even with the issues Live It!

The car looks and drives like a dream. The great majority of my cars were German, this particular car drives better than what I had but the reliability is questionable. The car had being in the shop now 3 times with only 16K miles. Biggest issue had being with the Turbo Management system, it had gone to Restrictive Drive 4 times and check engine light is now in the dashboard. Disappointing experience after I had spend $60K in an SUV. My expectation for the brand was much higher than what they are delivering. I'm hopping that I can get the issues resolved as I love the how the car drives.
