Just finished a 3000 miles 12 state12 day road trip in our 2012 CPO LR4. I could not have asked for a better road car. From NC to the Maine North Maine Woods. 80 mph on the highway or the 150 miles that we did offroading through the woods. It was nothing short of awesome. 19 MPG overall. Great comfort, security. This our 3rd LR. 2016- now 70000 miles. Had to have the lower control arms replaced this summer. I understand this is a normal thing for these cars. Drove it over 5000 miles to Maine and to Kentucky. What a great vehicle. Each trip were around 2500 miles. The trip to Kentucky was towing a 6500 lb Airstream. Plenty of power in the Mountains. I could go between 3-6 gear and maintain 65.

Review based on HSE model. It's everything you think it is: very, very comfortable ride (my wife often says she doesn't want to get out of it when we reach our destination), roomy, seats 7, tows a good-sized boat, easy to park in the city, great on long (350 mile) rides, quiet, good sound system, good looking, reliable. The electronics, especially the nav system, is dated, and a little slow. The fuel mileage is awful (15 MPG average), especially if you drive above 80 MPH. (At 55, it's close to reasonable, at around 25 MPG). I leased the car for 3 years, and residual was better than the lease, so I bought if for 3 more years. The interior is a little drab by today's standards, but certainly still luxurious. 2 glove boxes, lots of storage. You don't get much more car with the Range Rover - but you do get less seating and storage (!). The air suspension is stupendous - just swallows bumps in roads. With 75,000 miles, i'm on 3rd set of brakes (city driving), second set of tires (Continentals came stock, were very good, Pirelli's on it now are great), 250th tank of gas (!). Contrary to what I'd heard, the car is very reliable: I replaced the air suspension compressor (under warranty), and a seat heater was improperly installed when we bought it; no other major repairs. If this car had been electric or a hybrid, I'd never, ever sell it!

LR4 LUX 3rd times the charm

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.

2016 LR is in its last model year (purchased landmark edition). Driven 5K miles so far. No issues. Looked at new Q7 and XC90, and Mercedes GLS. Didn't test drive X5. GLS was too expensive and felt like a boat. XC90 had a noisy engine and road noise and marginal 3rd row seat capacity. Q7 was nice but 3rd row was horrible and almost too much tech and we didn't care for styling. Visibility was good in XC90 and marginal in Q7. So why the LR4? Visibility and ride height are awesome, engine quite and transmission super smooth, acceleration surprisingly adequate, road noise and ride comfort superior. Though body roll exists, tires feel planted. 3rd row has great leg room and seat height comfort. 2nd row, though not adjustable, 3 adults can sit shoulder to shoulder and comfortable. Navigation input outdated, bit slow, but functions very well overall and I use it quite a bit. Enjoy having easy to use knobs and buttons. Meridian sound good but not superior. Auto high beams work very well. No climate control sync. What are the two most important safety factors based on IIHS website? Weight (5600 lbs) and SUV. This machine hauls the 4 kids, wife and gear in what I like to call "organic luxury".

I currently own a fully-loaded 2016 Lr4 "Black Pak," and could not be happier with the vehicle. I traded in my full size Supercharged v8 for it almost two years ago because that vehicle did not have enough cargo space. The roof slants downward, which limits what can and cannot be placed into the cargo hold, and the back seats do not fold completely flat, which means that anything that has to slide forward must be picked up and pulled to the front area of the vehicle. My Lr4 has fold-flat rear seats that open the cabin area up to a size large enough to accommodate two sleeping adults! The materials are tough and rugged and ready for heavy-duty use. I drive the LR4 for both around-town, as well as off-road, something you have to do at least once with the Lr4. As for issues, I have encountered a roof leak that happens in heavy rains, where the waters drips onto the driver's side floorboards. The dealership is aware of the problem and has a fix for it, but don't even think about trying to do it yourself as it's a major bit of work. The electronics are also a bit sluggish, and the sound system is good, but not great.

I bought a 2015 LR4 in March, and thought I would share some information with prospective buyers. Land Rover USA has admitted that their is a problem in the air conditioning system of the 2015 LR4s, a problem that causes a high pitched whistle to be emitted from the dashboard area whenever the air conditioner is on (as it often is if you live in texas). Land Rover says this is a "characteristic" of the 2015 LR4s, and have offered no fix for the problem. If you are considering purchasing an LR4, I would seriously reconsider, until Land Rover has a fix for this issue. Though the dealership has tried, they have been unable to fix the problem, and my car has spent over 40 days in the shop since I purchased it. Update: car was in shop 100 days in 2 years and I had to hire a lawyer in order to have car declared a lemon. I will never drive a Land Rover again, and I highly recommend no on else drive one either. LR was terrible to deal with, was not concerned about me as an owner.

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’ve owned a 2016 HSE LUX Heavy Duty package LR4 for over 2 years. Have had only one issue with it (upper control arm bushings) at 45k miles which was covered by CPO warranty. The Good: The interior is great, fit and finish is very well done. Stereo is really good for a stock system. The Ride (Air Suspension) best ride around for a large SUV/truck Off Road Capability is some of the best around PERIOD! Interior, the use of space, rear tail gate (great for sitting on), second and third row seats that fold flat! Best usable interior in an SUV. Stadium seating for rear rows, rear seats large enough for adults let along children. Rear Skylight, perfect for rear passengers and dog owners. Rear Heated seats and rear climate control including the third row. Fridge in center console (Heavy Duty Package only) Driver Ads, off road drivers settings Camera’s Ladder box frame LR accessories for your life style, also the available aftermarket support of parts/accessories. Performance, not slow (V6 Supercharged) for a large vehicle. 8 spd transmission with paddle shifters that allow you to select the gear you want. Best driving position, great visibility from the drivers seat (greenhouse), very few if any blind spots. Tow’s really well. The Bad This is not a soccer mom’s SUV, however people like to use them. I’m sure because of some of the advantages I outlined above, but LR4’s are never going to be a Ford Explorer/4Runner. A vehicle that weighs this much is going to have parts that wear, need to be attended to and can cost to repair if you don’t have a warranty or do the work yourself it can be more then what some are used to. But that’s shouldn’t scare people, just understand what your buying (a real off road people and gear hauler). It’s a shame that most people only write about a car when something is wrong, never when they are happy enjoying ownership, it’s just how things go! Gas Milage, not good I average 13-17mpg Nav Unit, not great, slow but it works. The Ugly The fact that TaTa changed the Disco so much, instead of building on its strong points. Not a fan of the new one. Interior is updates are super nice but that where the compliments ends. Conclusion: This is the best family car I’ve had, sure there are things I’m not stoked with, but the “good” far, FAR outweighs the bad! These are becoming hard to find clean with the right options/milage/etc. grab one if you can, look for one with a solid history/ownership.

Solid SUV with No Issues for 7 Years

When Ford bought Land Rover, they drove the brand into the ground. Tata saved Land Rover, Range Rover and Jaguar from being destroyed by Ford. The second year that Tata took over Land Rover they resurrected the 2012 LR4 and created a solid, well thought-out, well-engineered and PROBLEM-FREE SUV that has served my family well for 75,000+ miles. While many speak about all the problems their LR3 had, they are talking about the pre-Tata buy-out when Ford almost drove 3 brands into the ground. Tata-owned Land Rover has been absolutely solid in our experience.

Authentic SUV impervious to road and weather conditions providing secure, comfortable ride for both driver and payload of either 6 additional passengers with seats up or spacious cargo with seats down. The 2016 is our 5th successive LR purchase/lease in USA following my wife's early childhood addiction to the LR Defender acquired while traveling through Asia.

I bought my 2012 LR4 HSE used with over 75,000 miles on it, three years ago, and haven't had a single problem with it. Engine? Purrs like a kitten and moves the LR4 like a cheetah. Transmission? Air suspension? No problems. The CarFax showed that the water pump was replaced three times by the dealer, so I assumed the water pump issue was resolved for this car. It was, and I have not had a problem with anything else on this vehicle. I chose the 2012 model because it was among the last to have a V8, before Land Rover switched to smaller, more complex (and likely to fail) engines. I'm glad I did. The V8 is turbine-smooth, and it moves this heavy, sturdy vehicle like it weighs virtually nothing. The cockpit is beautiful and elegant to look at, instruments and controls are trouble-free, and the seating position is unbeatable. The outer design is timeless and it still looks new. We go to the snow occasionally and it is in its element. My suggestion for long and happy ownership is to find a non-dealer competent mechanic. These are not complex cars and the parts are inexpensive and easy to find. A dealer will take you to the cleaners every time with these older cars. I like the looks of the new Defender but given the reliability of the LR4, its comfort and solid build quality, I'll probably keep it forever.

I bought my LR4 in 2018 with approximately 75K on the clock. The prior owner had changed the water pump 3+ times presumably because it was not done correctly. I have changed the oil and filter regularly with my local mechanic, and that is almost all its needed since then. At 120K, a plastic coolant part under under the engine cover was starting to leak, so that was my first large item that was an actual repair ($1,500). The parts are not expensive (aside from the aforementioned coolant part) and as a non-turbo engine it has had no hiccups. I seem to get 23 mpg on the freeway at 75+mph. The V8 is turbine smooth. The interior still looks beautiful. Exterior styling is classic and still looks fresh. It is strong and feels safe traveling with my family. The times we have taken it into the snow it feels rock solid. In my opinion, as long as you stay away from the dealer, maintenance is neither expensive nor repairs frequent. When I read reviews where the cost of maintenance is high or problems are not fixed, it seems to be from owners who are going to the dealer, believing, incorrectly, that the dealer will do a better job because they are paying more. These naturally aspirated V8s are not complicated and most reliable, trustworthy mechanics can handle them. I have found it necessary to have the sunroof drains cleaned.

I am always hesitant to write or, for that matter, give to much credence to reviews as they are based, primarily, on a single encounter with something. Rarely, does any reviewer have the luxury of "testing" multiple models of anything to be able to give a fair review of the overall product. So here is my, singular in scope, review of my 2015 Land Rover LR4 HSE. First off, are you freaking kidding me!!! It's a Land Rover and deserves all the cache' associated with the name. My LR4 is built like a tank and sports similar gas mileage as it thirsts for nothing but premium grade fuel, and upkeep can be a bit pricey. So what! I knew that going in. It's huge and boxy, but I never lose it in any parking lot, as it stands out among the herd in its distinctive look and imposing height. The interior is plush, sophisticated, understated, roomy, and never fails to impress any who have the opportunity to enjoy its spaciousness, even in the third row seats. Fold the rear two seat rows down and the cargo capacity is phenomenal. I was able to put a 65" flat screen TV, in the box, lying flat in the back and still had room. From the driver's perspective, you ride high in the saddle with a panoramic view of the world outside. I have never experienced this in any other vehicle and it is most welcome whether navigating the insanity known as Chicago congestion or the wild country where roads no longer exist. Not sure what everyone else has experienced, but in my opinion the only conveyance more sure-footed off road, regardless of terrain, is a Mountain Goat. Is the navigation system slow and cumbersome? Yep! But, I usually know where I'm heading and have plotted my trip before leaving and.....can read a map if necessary! One feature I cannot speak highly enough of is the Meridian stereo system. I was lucky enough to get the top of the line and is CRANKS!. Everything from Mozart to The Ramones clean, undistorted and loud. I am truly sorry for those who have had a less than favorable experience with their Land Rover, but after all it is a machine and nothing is perfect every time. For me, I wanted a Land Rover since I was 10 years old and watched Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom seeing a Rhinoceros slam into the side of one and it drove away. Took me 45 more years to get one, but it was more than worth the wait and is everything I expected and then some!!!

Purchased a 2016 LR4 Landmark Edition - great package ! Equivalent to the HSE LUX but a big savings. My wife's car and see loves the space, visibility, and safety. Not as peppy as the old 8-cyl LR4 but will do. Could use a little more leg room and rear seats don't recline. Compared with previous model of Audi Q7, BMW X5, Mercedes, and even 2015 Range Rover Sport and she liked this better.

I got the LR4 October 2021 with 103k miles. I had the 100K mile services done and regular oil changes since. I have had 11k trouble free, reliable driving since I have owned the Truck. Smooth and quiet freeway driving. Zippy and quick on city streets. Composed and confident on winding mountain roads. I love driving it! I did my research before purchasing and the 2012 model year has the best reliability rating. October 2023 Update LR4 now at 122K miles! It has continued to run smooth with no issues. I have had only done oil changes every 5-6K miles to minimize timing chain issues. I did personally replace the MAP sensor at 121K as CEL turned on with code P0106. Although the sensor was faulty the LR4 had no noticeable change in driving performance. Joined multiple forums and have learned much on preventative maintenance and repairs for common issues. The LR4 is very user friendly for maintenance and repairs for handy individuals who are not mechanics. I love the LR4! I will keep it until I can no longer drive!

This is my 5th Land Rover and by far the best. I still have relatively low milage (under 30,000 miles) but the SUV is solid. Great interior space. Great visibility. Smooth ride. Classic and unique styling! Land Rover has come a long way in design, comfort, and technology. It is what it is (not meant to compete with BMW or Porsche in speed) but a fine vehicle for the performance purpose.

Don't risk it! 2016 Land Rover LR4 is my 4th Land Rover in 25 years. Other 3 were Disco's. They came with the usual Land Rover problems, but nothing too major. Bought this one used just like the others, and with less than 85k miles. Should have done my research and learned about the $25k dead cylinder issues that come with this engine. Land Rover dealership, and local Euro Tech mechanic won't do a cylinder job on the 3.0 SCV6. POS! Throw it away, And put a new engine in. Won't even mention the reoccuring air suspension issues. Oh, I just did. I've only owned this thing a year and a half. There, you've been warned.

We are a household right now with one and another soon-to-be teen driver. I have had a LR3 since 2006. In my mind as a mom it was known as "the mobile command center". With 5 seats in the back I could rescue kids at school from the school bus to become "the Cool Bus". Fast forward to high school. We were in the market for a used car in a house with two teen drivers. My husband looked up my 2006 LR3 in the Kelly Blue book to find out it was worth about $10-12,000. I thought "why are we lookig for a decent used car for under $20K when there was fantastic one sitting right in our driveway?" I had one incident right off the bat with my LR3 with the power steering going out on our first road trip. LR took care of it right away, including the towing. From then on out I had no problems with my car-I loved Land Rover. I came to the conclusion "why doesn't mom get a new car and let the teens drive my old tank of a car? " After building the LR4 online at the medium range with all the features we wanted, I tried out the same package at the Lux model range, only to go up $2000. I really didn't want the Lux for some reason but LOVE it and now have had it for 3 months. Reading the other reviews, I have a few concerns/complaints. The weird whistling noise that to me sounds like it is coming from the stereo system was very prevolent in the first few weeks seems to have disappeared (fingers crossed) because it's annoying. The navigation system is really clunky, this is hands down my biggest question of "what were they thinking?". If you are entering an address you need to start from the bottom of the menu. The keyboard is set-up in alphabetical order which is so counterintuative, who types like that??-NO ONE, LAND ROVER. And who in the world at LR said "yeah, this is great, let's go with it.". As you are typing in letters the keyboard/screen goes dark for a second or so before the next avilable group of letters is availble, which is so slow!! The last time I used it my daughter and I were instructed to get off at an exit, we were now facing a traffic circle. The Nav system was silent for awhile while we drove in circles, then it instructed us to turn right on a street number that was not even on that traffic circle, it was just silent. We were so frustrated that we pulled into a gas staion, turned off the car, restarted it and reentered our destination. In the mean time we pulled out our Iphones to to direct us and it sent us on a totally different and better direction than the LR nav system. We were lucky enough to have been in Europe this summer and staying at a hotel that had gorgeous BMW loner cars. There is no comparing the BMW nav system (which was all in German) to Land Rover's. BMW's was fast and sleek compared to Land Rover-I hate saying that because I really love my Land Rovers!! If we didn't have teen drivers I would still be driving my LR3-I loved it. I LOVE my LR4, I find myself feeling like a newly licsensed 16 year old driver looking for a reason to drive my new car. I am so lucky to drive a car like this and my dealership in Portland, Oregon, Rasmussen Land Rover have taken amazing care of me. They were an enormous part of why I bought a second Land Rover and why I will probably buy a third one day.

Worst car I have ever owned. Most expensive to own with out of pocket expenses ( on a lease), worst dealer support. I had the engine go at 19,000 miles. Left me stranded two hours from my house. Waited for ever for the right tow truck because the dial shifter won’t move if the car is dead. Took them a month to find out the engine was leaking oil onto the alternator. Eco Start worked for the first 5,000 miles than stop working. They fixed it when they fixed the engine and the car would randomly shut off when you stopped for a traffic light for example. They refused to pay for a rent a car until I went to corporate and because I was over 80 miles from my house they payed because it was trip abatement but told me they would of not payed otherwise. Dealer never returned my calls. I had to stalk them to get any updates. They treated me like pond scum. The dealer also told me to drive it the 80 plus miles home with the engine leaking once they fixed the alternator and put in a new battery I refused because they would of never paid for any additional repairs if something else would of happened. Tire light was always on when there was no tire issues. The car had low miles and was never driven off road and had two sets of breaks, two sets of tires, new struts, the parking break system failed because the parking break is in the center counsel under the cup holders and got moisture in it some how. That was 5 k. The dealer only paid for engine all the other items were considered normal wear. Thats after they have had the car for 3 days. I get the breaks and tires but struts on a car with 25,000 miles. Also, the car was sitting in my driveway and all the coolant spilled out of it. no warning, no light on. navigation, dont bother. worthless. usb ports are in the glove box, which if you are driving puts them on the opposite side of the car with no where to put your phone. Sirius Radio would drop out and random points and so would my cell phone I just thought it was a Sirius and a cell phone issue but I actually own a honda now and it never does that in the same areas with the same cell and Sirius. No apple car play , but when you play the music from your cell phone it would not move forward to next song Random interior plastic pieces would fall off. Valet key is like a barbie butter knife and try as you might you can’t ignore the horrible gas mileage. Ride was great. Everytime you turn on the car your heart drops because half the time there is a warning light. Even if it is door open you are still alarmed because you are so used to seeing warning lights on in this car. Also, you have to always think of wear to park it because of the height

Beautiful Inside, Engine is Garbage

We bought a 2016 LR 4 brand new. The inside is quite nice and comfortable. This SUV handles really beautifully. However at almost exactly 6 years, with a little more than 60,000 miles, the timing chain went and evidently it took the engine with it. Dealer wants $20,000 to fix it now after originally telling us it would be $6000. This should not happen to a car that was cared for that was only driven $10,000 miles a year. Of course it's out of warranty. And we are being offered no recourse. Garbage. High end trash.

"This is my second brand new LR4 in the last 3 months. The first had multiple mechanical issues and I was given a replacement. Now my most recent LR4 Lux was also in the shop after less than ONE WEEK! I have now seen suspension issues, transmission issues, fuel pump issues and engine issues all within two brand new 2015 trucks and in a period of three months. I love the design, the features and the ride but I could really just use a car that works."
Love it

4-year update: 187k miles now and it's still great. Does everything really well and haven't had any new issues, but do need do some fluid refreshes. Update: Another year has passed and I still love my LR4. It really is the perfect combination of rugged utility and luxury. There's nothing it lacks. In regards to servicing, I've got a coolant leak brewing and we'll see what that amounts to soon and I'll update again. I'm over 160k miles now and just got new tires. All good! I've waited through 1 year of ownership to write this review. I drove 500 miles to buy my 2015 LR4 HSE because it was a steal. Yes, 150k miles were on it, but a 1-owner, no accident, mint condition example for only $15k? C'mon! No matter what the brand, if a single owner is willing to drive a vehicle to 150k miles, you know it's been a good ride. Well, it has been for me, too! Truth - after the long drive back, I had a leak within the first week, but the part that was replaced was recommended for refresh every 75k miles, so that is acceptable. Was it expensive? Yes. But that's why you go into something knowing what your budget is and at $15k purchase-price, I've got lots of room to spend. Since then, it's been trouble-free and an absolute pleasure to drive, own, look at, talk about, and just sit in. I saw an LR3 at a car show back in 2006 and was in love ever since. But, I decided to own other fun rides along the way, like a Porsche 968 Cabriolet and an Audi A8, and had to be a dad in-between with minivans in the mix, sometimes my primary. I've owned a lot of vehicles. All of this to say, I love my LR4 as much as I thought I would. It's the right amount of everything. Yes, fueling it is not cheap, but use the ever-popular "compare it to Starbucks" math and I'll make my coffee at home and just drive and enjoy. Why is the infotainment picked on? 2015/2016 system is fine. And no one uses car mapping systems. Plenty of physical buttons to accomplish what you need and it's really not complicated to push "radio" or "phone" to listen to music. Also, I'm a sound snob and the Meridian system is a real joy. Oh, and the whistle thing with the AC and acceleration - yes - mine does it too, only when it's scorching hot and the AC is on full blast. So, I just don't turn it up full blast and I don't gun it. Normal weather, no issues. Speaking of gunning it, this is my first supercharged engine and I gotta say, I like it a lot. The power is always there when you need it, but it doesn't beg you to use it, which is good. I wish they hadn't killed the LR4, but I will enjoy mine for as many years as I can - at least, till I can find one of the new Defender's under $20k ;)

Leaked oil in first month

I bought a new Discovery in December 2014. In January, it started leaking oil. We took it back to LandRover and they needed 3 weeks to fix the engine, a major component of the engine had to be replaced. I really do not want the car back--it was obvious that it had significant defects when it left the factory. I asked LandRover to replace the car but so far they have refused and have not offered any other compensation for the fact that they sold me a defective car and all the hassle, grief and inconvenience associated with the whole mess. Obviously, if I had any idea this would happen, I would not have purchased a LandRover. Buyer beware.

The LR4 has a unique look that isn't looking dated after nearly a decade. The combination of luxury features and off-road capability is not something I was able to find in another vehicle. While it will never be a Jeep Wrangler off-road, the HD Package makes it quite capable. The interior is very spacious given the exterior footprint. Room for 7 people and/or lots of gear! With the Lux package the interior is amazing, filled with quality materials, and loaded with unique features that are competitive with new luxury offerings. My only complaint would be that the Land Rover app substitute for CarPlay/Android Auto feels very dated.

Was looking for a very specific Land Rover. Edmunds found my black LR4 with almond interior at my price point. Love my car!

Beautiful car....dealer did not did not disclose issues even after requesting some warning lights be checked. Buyer beware. Every service is over $1000....and that's 1/3 of the LR dealer price. Find yourself a good mechanic that knows the vehicle
My dad has the nice one

I’m like the 2013 LR4 and it sounds great when it starts up but I wish it had the twister thingy to get the driving mode on like the 2014 Land Rover.

Beautiful car... what else do you say about a Land Rover? Unexpected....cost of basic repairs...oil change $200..I honestly didn't think that was bad...but dealer wants $3000 for a brake job . Car doesn't need rotors but they force you into putting them on just because....I will NEVER deal with Land Rover of Virginia Beach. I worked at dealerships. It's illegal to perform unnecessary repairs on a vehicle. Shame on them
