Land Rover Discovery Sport HSE (2015-2020)

Cannot believe the amount of faults with this vehicle, and known issues that were not fixed. Bruce Lyntons, just do not care about their customers one bit. On some faults, I left the car for up to a week, and they had not even fixed all the issues that they had listed to fix. So many bits coming loose, falling off, failing, breaking. ABSOLUTE LEMON. When the car was a month out of warranty, the electric hydraulic pump for rear diff failed, and at only 30,000kms......they want $1,800 to fix it, even though it was a known problem.
I will never sp...Read more

Just look somewhere else, yes it does look good, also pretty good for long trips.
1st month in, Right side exhaust rattling crazy, told Trivett (Landrover service) they said it was normal.
12 months in right side exhaust rattling out of control, told them to fix it this time instead of looking at it. Kind of got fixed wasn't that bad anymore. 18 months, reverse camera showed blue screen of death. Thank god warranty still covers it. 24 month Engine Stop Start doesn't work anymore (actually better this way). During this period, navigation has cr...Read more

I own a Landrover Discovery Sport 2017 which is now 17 mths old with a new engine replaced in Dec 18, 2 balance shaft replacements, numerous other replacements and an exhaust leak into the air intake for almost 12 months. Just diagnosed after in total being 5 months off the road on and off and yet no diagnosis until now. JLR fighting hard and showing next to no compassion. Think because they have repaired here there and everywhere under warranty they’ve done us a courtesy. They have supplied hire cars all under their warranty conditions. They h...Read more

So we've bought a 2018 Disco Sport TD4 110 HSE - picked it up on 9th August 18, and was back with the deal the very next day....the issue was audible knocking from front LH suspension when driving over uneven road surfaces and speed bumps. get the car back a week later on 16th, and 4 days later, more issues evident. The Deisel fuel filter warning light came on "full" - have done around 200km!!! - and this caused engine to lose power and become un-drivable. My wife also noticed rubbing sound from rear left & right wheel arches - upon inspec...Read more

We regularly use the DS for camping trips and long highway trips. It has been fantastic for towing our camper trailer and is achieving similar fuel consumption to our previous Audi A4 Avant.

The front seats are vary comfortable and the heating and cooling functions provide a very nice environment during the extreme weather that we experience in Canberra.

The infotainment system is easy to use and the sound system is very good.

The back seats are great for our kids as they can recline on long trips. The third row of seats also provides ...Read more

Unreliable. Don’t get the usage from the fuel as stipulated - average appt 8.8lt (LR market it at 5ltr combined). Issues since day 1! I bought the car brand new in January 2018. I received delivery of the vehicle with the incorrect colour wheels (the marketing brochure in Australia shows the black wheels with the upgraded black pack) apparently that’s not the case in the UK hence the delivery of the incorrect wheels. Dealership said they would spray paint mine black, I’d have to bring it back in though. 3 days after I drove out of the dealershi...Read more

We've had a roller coaster ride with our Discovery Sport. There were a significant number of faults from delivery ranging from electronics, battery, control units, wiper motor, rattles, display language, and probably some other stuff I can't remember, and I wanted to burn the thing after about 2-3 months of ownership, but the Dealer eventually got it sorted and we love our Disco Sport now. One of the risks of being an early adopter I guess (ours was in the first batch from the factory). It is generously optioned and handles beautifully. We have...Read more

I was over the moon to purchase my Disco Sport for my birthday this year. I loved the car till it had the dreaded gear box failure and stalled at the lights. This happened a few times, called Land Rover assistance was told not to drive as it was unsafe. This after only having the car for nearly a month!!! The car was towed away and I was given a loan vehicle.

Now I've been told it will take months to source the part. Why? Not sure as I haven't been given an answer. My case manager refuses to call back, the representative at the customer re...Read more

I purchased the TDV4HSE model in February 2016. I ordered it new from the factory with my own preferences on 19" wheels, colour and fittings, but had to wait 6 months for it.
It performs well and has lots of nice features, but without the air suspension and other features of the Discovery 3, 4 and 5 models, I decided it wasn't what I wanted and ordered the Discovery 5 as soon as it was released, sadly with another 7 month wait.
This Discovery Sport is a good runabout and is quite economical with its 4 cylinder diesel engine.
Sadly, the die...Read more
