I started my love affair with the LR3 15 yrs ago. Had a white then a black one. Then upgraded to the LR4 back in 2015 with a LUX fully loaded model i bought from the original owner in Malibu. I've driven it times Belize and back a couple times, getting ready for a trip to Baja from CO. No other lux SUV would survive these trips. My LR4 has 160k miles on it. Until about 150k all i did were oil.changes, brakes /tires and the recommended maintenance schedule. Now i just replaced the front control arms, water pump just went out and timing tensioners will be replaced in hopes of extending timing chain lifespan another 100k miles. My LR4 has been super good to me. Luckily my husband does the work so i dont feel the pain of repair costs. I will drive this car til the engine or transmission goes and based on my research that could be another 150k miles or more. Rock solid.

Solid, secure, cocoon environment for driver, passengers/family members. Great dependability albeit pricey to repair (annually or for brakes when needed) and you'll stop for gas more frequently. Goes over rough patches, through water, and across uncharted terrains with confidence. A stately, impressive machine.

6 Years, 151,000+ miles and still looking new

The LR4 is a great performer both on and off road. It's been is deep mud and on steep slopes. Of the hundreds of off-road adventures, it got stuck only once on a steep grade of deep gravel stone, which was to loose and deep to get traction. I've towed a 22-foot, ~6,000 pound boat thousands of miles without an issue (though mileage went down to 11 mpg on average). On normal highway travel, I've gotten as high as 22 mpg (flatland in the summer with no load or passengers). Otherwise, I usually get 19 mpg on the highway and 15.5 mpg city. Have $$$ ready as repairs after warranty are stupid costly. The bushings on the lower front control arms had to be replaced at ~90K miles (replaced both lower control arms myself and had re-aligned for ~$350). The water pump went out along with a plastic part under valve cover at ~135K miles ($1,100 at a non-dealer shop specializing in Land Rovers, dealership quoted $1,600). The stitching on the front seats broke on a seam and was re-sewn at ~145K miles ($225). The exterior finish looks impeccable. The interior, aside from the stitching, also looks impeccable. Changing the oil takes 15 minutes and brake jobs are also easy for DIYers. My twin daughters will be driving this vehicle in 3 years from now as the LR4 super safe. I was rear ended by a Toyota Camry...totaled that car and only $1,200 of replacement plastic on the LR4's rear bumper. There's a limited selection of tires for the 19" rims. Continental Terraincontact A/T are the best by far.

I have owned seven Hondas, a BMW, a Ford a Chevy and three Olds before I tried Land Rovers and Jags. Despite the scare tactics which seem to abound even on reputable review sites I have nothing but praise for my Land Rovers (Dicsovery2, LR3 and now a LR4) along with my Jaguars (an XJL and my current XJ VDP). Where does EPA get these MPG figures? My Hondas NEVER got the predicted MPGS always falling a few miles below the hopeful predictions, yet my LR4 (and LR3) get a full 2 MPG higher than those on the EPA sticker! Reliability in the first weeks through 2,600 miles has been perfect, not a single flaw. My previous new cars from other manufacturers never accomplished that.

Bought the LR4 LUX (new) over the BMW X-5 turbo and Volvo XC90 V8; Mercedes was +$12,000 for similar engine/options. An absolute pleasure to drive. Plenty of power for all 7,000 pounds. An absolute delight on the freeway. Excellent visibility from driver's seat. A few electrical/communication issues, but dealer has been there to support us all the way. 19,000 miles and counting.
