It's the best off road SUV on the market and seats 7 full size adults.
I love the size and speed of my vehicle. I love how safe it feels and how heavy duty it is. I love that it seats 7 full size adults.

Love the camera system. It gives me every angle of my car including aerial view.
This car checks all the boxes when it comes to comfort and looks and It has all the most up-to-date safety features I was looking for. I like when you are stopped the engine turns off to conserve gasoline. Only complaint would be ovations glitches with the radio/navigation. Usually it just needs a software update. Overall - super happy with this vehicle.

Handles like a high performance sedan with the space of a SUV.
I have had it for 1-1/2 yrs and no issues at all. It is been the best vehicle I have owned. Fun to drive. There's plenty of pickup when getting on the highway or passing. The interior is comfortable for long trips. Plenty of interior space whether you use the third row seats or putting them down for storage space. The steering and handling is very precise and easy to navigate in tight spaces.

Black discovery Land Rover.
I love all the features it comes with especially all the technology. It is big and roomy with fitting about 8 passengers. It has a big trunk to fit all the these you need. It is luxurious, it is comfortable and I feel very safe. I think it is a great car for anyone to drive at any age because it is big and safe.

Massaging seats. I like to turn on the massaging seats after a stressful day.
The discovery is very reliable and quite comfortable, with the heated and cooled seats with massage, it also has very nice and smooth acceleration. I have not had any problems with the car. The cars gas mileage has been quite good. The control panel is a lot to learn.

Light duty trucks are great alternatives to less efficient full sized trucks.
I like there is a 3rd row seat option which is great for carpooling. Some of the construction of the vehicle however seems cheap or poorly made. I like the shape of the windshield and the height of the car, it is perfect for a short person.

It takes corners great. And has get up and go despite being a v6.
Has lots of electrical gremlins. The fast lights come on all the time even though nothing is wrong with the car. Plus the gas mileage is not that great. The ride is good through and I like the overall performance of the vehicle.. Also has good torque for towing, as well as good acceleration.

THAT IT HAS 3 ROWS WHICH IS DECEPTIVE AND THE SMOOTH DRIVING.
LOVE THE SMOOTH RIDE THE MOST AND HANDLING. THE 3 ROWS IS CONVENIENT ALONG WITH THE COMFORT. THERE IS NOTHING I DISLIKE, JUST THAT THERE ARE A FEW OTHER CAR I LIKE BETTER.

2018 Land Rover review. Likes and dislikes.
This car is nice for large families that want a long lasting vehicle. The only problem with this car for me is that the steering wheel is hard to adjust. Other than that though, the seats are heated and comfortable, the air conditioner is strong, the driving is smooth, and this car is durable,

I like the size and the feel of driving it down the road.
This car has everything you will need. It is so nice to drive. The seats are heated and cooled and you can also get a back massage! I can control everything on my app. I can start my car, move my seats, see where I drove and how fast I was driving. I like the size and the feel of driving it down the road.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Chris M.

Rides great but MPG is not great and the engine can overheat. The air suspension is also expensive to replace, and they wear out after about 5 years. So expect a 1400 expense at that point and that is if you go with bargain air cans. Around 3 thousand if you get official Land Rover parts. Overall it is a great vehicle though.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Chris M.

Requires more maintenance then some other vehicles. Can be expensive to get repaired due to being a foreign car. Air suspension wears out faster than coil suspension. Which also causes the tires to wear out faster.

Is The 2018 Land Rover Discovery A Good Car?

Yes it rides great on the road and the 4 wheel drive gets me through tough conditions. Plus it handles curves well due to the wide wheel base. Love the heated seats as well.
Chris M.

How Reliable Is The 2018 Land Rover Discovery?

For the most part yes but the air suspension only lasted around a year. Which cost a few thousand to replace. But that is the only major repair I have had to make so far.
Chris M.

Is The 2018 Land Rover Discovery A Good Value?

Around 45000 which is comparable to other suds in the same class. So I would say it is an average value. The resell value is pretty poor though as it depreciated quickly.
