Problem after problem. After at least 15 visits to the dealer my interior computer is still not working correctly. If it dose its slow, unresponsive and just down right antiquated. I feel like Im driving an outdated Iphone that is no longer supported. After 2 years Im trying to trade it in and the resale value is very low. Your better off spending your money on another option.

The car is beautiful and is a gorgeous burnt orange color. The inside still smells new. Great pickup when you're accelerating through traffic. So far, I love it!

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!

I just purchased a Land Rover Discovery and it is the best car yet! It drives smooth, has quick pickup, and is very spacious inside! I love the interior!

Huge Mistake

I traded my 2021 Atlas for a 2018 Discovery hse after seeing how cool my client’s new Discovery is. The leather, the several compartments and the tailgate guard that raises and lowers were what hooked me. A week after purchasing I noticed water droplets on the passenger side dash. Another week later during a heavy rain, I watched as water poured inside. I called Tom Wood Landrover three times and still haven’t spoken to a live person. Meanwhile, a mildew smell is now noticeable. Luckily, Carmax is giving me a full refund, but Im so disappointed that such a luxury suv that hits all the highend marks misses on such basic things! Im kicking myself for not keeping my Atlas.

THE PERFECT SUV WITH THE WRONG MEDIA SYSTEM

I leased the Discovery right when it came out, in 2017. The SE model came with a 6cylinder that I loved. The engine had great acceleration and power. The ride was soft and sturdy at the same time. What I loved most about the ride is that it wasn't too springy like a Buick or Tahoe. The chassis absorbs a ton of road vibration, and bumps but maintain a rigidity that makes it feel controlled. I almost bought the car at the end of the lease but instead bought a new Defender. I had zero issues with the car with the exception of the infotainment unit that would turn off every now and then (once a month). The blip would last maybe a few seconds and then it would just reboot itself. Not a game changer. I drove the car hard and often and had zero complaints or mechanical issues. The engine was very reliable and efficient for a car of this size. I would definitely recommend it. Love the Discovery but now I am a Defender owner!!!

Worst vehicle ever!! In 6 months I have made $10,000 worth of repairs and that does not include the new tires and brake pads. It has spent more time in the shop than on the road.
