2020 Land Rover Discovery Sport P250 R-Dynamic SE 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 9A)

My first Land Rover. Our previous family SUV was the Volvo XC90. The other car I drive is the Tesla Model 3. Much quieter and smoother ride than the Volvo in my opinion. The handling is amazingly good for such an SUV. I was initially worried about electronics problems that are known to exist for some LR models, but my R-Dynamic SE has been problem-free. A recent off-road trip was a …

Great Car for the size, style, and performance

2019 Land Rover Discovery Sport HSE 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 9A)

This is a beautiful car at a fair price for a Land Rover. It's a lot of car in a very small footprint! (the Evoque was way too small for us). The interior and finishes are great. The glass roof is awesome. The back seat is comfortable and spacious, and the seats recline which is great. The gas mileage is not "Like an8 cylinder" as one reviewer wrote. I know because I sold my GMC …

Love it!

2020 Land Rover Discovery Sport P250 S 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 9A)

I've never driven a Land Rover before, but after looking at a few other options such as the Jeep Grand Cherokee & Rav 4, the Land Rover seemed a better choice. The dealership was amazing. I was treated better than any dealership, and they didn't try to sell me a bunch of extra warranties I didn't want. I was sold on the car the minute I saw it. The bells and whistles are …

Big surprise

2020 Land Rover Discovery Sport P250 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 9A)

I was very sceptic about this car but when I compraed it with XC60, X3 and GLC Disco has got better interior quality, hanlong, diesel sound and ultra comfort. So on March 2020 I had my Disco. 30 000 km, one year and I feel so good with this car. The throttle lag disapeared, no faults and any disadvantages of using this car. One thing, very poor inetrrior light.
