    Should have mentioned the insurance costs/ issues with obtaining insurance through regular companies

      I’ve had no problems getting insurance for my sport. I’m paying £150 a month as a 27 year old with 3 years no claims

      Fair enough! £1.8k a year for a £50kish car is still fairly high but land rovers are desirable

    Why, when nearly every car review I watch, bemoans the lack of physical climate control buttons, are car manufacturers constantly ‘updating’ their cars to remove them? Are they all trying to be Tesla? I suppose the reason will be costs.

      Let’s safe costs, but make it more difficult to use things we change often. That will make it safer

      Cost saving and appearance. They run a business, so at the end of the day they’re always going to prioritise money-saving and if they can implement that into a more modern design that appeals to buyers that’s what they’re going to do.

      The other thing to mention is car reviewers often don’t represent the average buyer. Once on the move I barely ever touch my climate control, as it’s on automatic to a temperature I like. Therefore, I’d much rather they be implemented into a touch screen saving space below, when I could do 100 journeys and not touch it while on the move.

      They likely designed and put them in production years ago…they can’t just revert it overnight – it’ll take time to get a new design to the forecourt. Plus they’ve spent the money on this design now; they’ll leave it until the next update/design refresh to get the money back from this design

      Unsafe and uneconomic regardless of cost.
      Tryusing with wet hands or gloves.
      I wont be buying one.

    Screens are cheap and easy, and horrible to use. Thankfully most are going back to a combination of buttons, where buttons are better and screens, when screens are needed.

    Good old British penny pinching on the interior there … I’ll come back in another 5 years

    The temperature can be changed by dragging the side temp up or down you don’t need to tap and tap. Makes it that much faster. Although still not better than physical controls

    Have Land Rover sorted the oil dilution issues they had on previous Discovery Sports. When I bought mine they stated servicing was 20k miles or 2 years. What they didn’t tell me was that the car requires interim oil changes every 8,000 miles, due to oil dilution. I was fortunate I had a service plan, without it each interim oil change would have costs almost £200.
    I owned the Discovery Sport for almost 5 years without a single fault, just general maintenance, replaced tyres, battery and brake pads.
    In my opinion the Disco Sport is a good all round car which is comfortable and contrary to many reports, extremely reliable.

    Honest review. Thanks for mentioning how unreliable JLR vehicles actually are. Consistently ranked at the bottom.

    Charging a premium price for an SUV and removing the most used physical controls is taking the piss, and looks cheap and botched. Time car designers listened to their customers and move back to physical controls. At least diesel still offered though a straight six would suit size and weight better.

    No JLR product should be heralded as a quality product. Until they can resolve their dreadful reliability issues. Top 5 most unreliable vehicles for the last 10+ years.

      As a family we have a 2023 Range Rover and a 2020 Velar, previous Discovery Sport and RR Sport in about eight years and 120.000 miles almost total reliability, my Daughters 2016 blew its 2L BMW 1 series via its timing chain and our Audi Q5 was total disaster in terms of electrical problems

      @alanwayte432  Well done Alan. Not only have you had reliable ones but you have kept them from being stolen and managed to insure them. Glad to here that you are part of the 45% of happy customers and not the 55% of breakdowns.

      Two of my colleagues have Discovery Sports with no issues whatsoever and previously one had two Freelanders again no issues and one other has an Evoque which is also very reliable.

    What is the difference tapping on that touchscreen to fiddling with a mobile phone ? 
    Both are distracting the drivers attention.

      Fiddling with your mobile while driving is illegal in a car for good reason – so should a touchscreen

    Buy it on a lease only and get rid of the thing at least 6 months before the manufacturer warranty lapses.

    Don’t touch a JLR car outside of warranty.

    Absence of physical climate controls is a deal breaker for me. I will hold on to what I have a little longer.

    Would it have sold as well if they didn’t drop the Freelander name?

    I know my 2014 Land Rover was full of error lights on dashboard and often in Land rover franchise for numerous mechanical problems.
    I expect Nothing has changed

    If I need to transport myself and luggage (150kg) but I need to use enough energy to also transport the means to do this to also move 2000kg+ then we are looking at a fundamental problem with heavy cars. No-one needs a lump like this on the roads – esp when the momentum can cause more problems when it’s out of control.

    People talking about bad reliability are stuck more than 5 years ago. It’s not like that anymore.., even my 2019 Sport Supercharged has no problems 110k km in and warranty having run out

    Great review, such a shame that JLR don’t sort out their reliability issues. It’s probably the single biggest thing that holds the brand back and as the years roll by, it never gets fixed. Criminal waste of an iconic brand in my opinion.

    Why you would buy a JLR product is beyond me, style of substance. Looking to buy a car that lasts at least 10 years and a SUV . Who would buy one expecting 10 years of reliable use ❓🤷🏻‍♂️
