![]() Over the next 90 days it was sent back for repair 5 more times. Within 30 days it was in the shop for repair. We bought a brand new 2018 car from Land Rover. The moral of the story for you is simple, don't buy a Land Rover product, this is our recommendation after driving them on/off for 20-years. Moral of our story will be to drive these for another 3 years, and trade them in for Ford, Toyota (Lexus) or Jeep. The Dealership has been super responsive and helpful while the work on a DFT (Dealer Facilitated Trade) for the Discovery (but no promises). But, once again I am sitting on two vehicles that have lost a significant amount of their value and I'm back and forth to the service facility. We have serious mixed emotions, the Land Rover products are awesome in the snow, off-road and as daily haulers. The Range Rover Sport is having the brake issues and software issues and has enjoyed about 8 days in the shop. So, after racking up 7,000 miles and 5 months, the Discovery has been in the shop 18 days, major brake issues (sticking), software issues, and AEB issues. After, NEVER having … any issues with Toyota or Lexus for 4-years, we made the decision to go back to Land Rover and give the company the benefit of the doubt and purchased a 2018 Discovery (new from dealer) and 2018 Range Rover Sport (new from dealer) and both in cash. We've owned Land Rover products for nearly 20 years, and 5 years ago we left for Toyota (we purchased a 4runner and a Lexus SUV) because the frustrations of owning a Land Rover were interrupting our life (the service manager and Land Rover and I used to joke, that I should park the cars at the dealership, because they spent more time in the shop than in my garage). Towing package (tow hitch plus other towing-related enhancements).In addition to the S R-Dynamic's features, you get: The top-level Discovery HSE R-Dynamic trim comes standard with the 355-hp engine and seven-seat configuration. You can also get the S R-Dynamic with the upgraded 355-hp turbocharged six-cylinder engine. The Discovery S R-Dynamic has a few stylistic differences compared to the base S but is otherwise similar for standard and optional features. Third-row seat for seven-passenger capacity.Head-up display (displays important information in your sight line onto the windshield).Adaptive cruise control (adjusts speed to maintain a constant distance between the vehicle and the car in front).Notable options on the Discovery S include: Parking sensors (alert you to obstacles that may not be visible in front of or behind the vehicle when parking).Automatic emergency braking (warns if a front impact is imminent and applies the brakes if you don't respond in time).Blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert (warns you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while in reverse).Lane keeping assist (steers the Discovery back into its lane if it begins to drift over the lane marker).Surround-view camera system (gives you a top-down view of the Discovery and its surroundings for tight parking situations). ![]() Standard technology and advanced driver aids include: The base Discovery S trim comes fairly well equipped. Here's our list: 1) The haptic touch climate panel requires too much of your attention to use while driving 2) The armrest snaps shut with the speed of a guillotine 3) It's shockingly difficult to operate the upper glovebox 4) There's also no quick release for moving the second row forward, so third-row passengers are almost entirely dependent on someone else to help them exit 5) The driver's seat sits up way too high, giving the Discovery an almost bus-like driving position 6) The second and third rows don't have enough legroom for a vehicle in this class and 7) The large rear headrests are huge obstructions for looking out the back of the vehicle. Land Rover really needs to hire some people from Toyota and Honda for the next Discovery in hopes of coming up with better controls and ergonomics. Front and side visibility is also quite good.īut. ![]() Also, the climate system is neat in that you can control fan temperature, fan speed and seat heating/ventilation with a single knob. How’s the interior? We'll start by saying that the new infotainment system is much easier to use than the Discovery's previous interface.
