Land Rover Discovery (2017-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Enormously roomy and practical seven-seat cabin	Poor reputation for reliability
Tremendous to drive off road	Not as exciting to drive as a BMW X5
Comfortable to travel in	Less distinctive-looking than earlier generations

Quick Summary

The Land Rover Discovery (2017-present), the fifth generation, brought a new level of luxury and maintains its reputation as one of the world's best off-roaders. Equipped with a standard Terrain Response system, active four-wheel drive, low-ratio gearbox, ladder-frame chassis, and height-adjustable air suspension, it effortlessly tackles challenging terrains while offering a refined cabin experience.

Positioned between the Discovery Sport and the Defender, this family SUV balances exceptional off-road capability with upmarket family-friendliness. It boasts an enormously spacious seven-seat cabin, with comfortable third-row seating and a massive boot capacity of up to 2,391 litres. While early infotainment systems were a weak point, later models (post-2021 facelift) feature the improved Pivi Pro system. Running costs are typical for a premium SUV, with diesel engines offering better economy and value retention.

Best for: Families needing vast space and seven usable seats, those who frequently drive off-road or require serious towing capability, and buyers seeking a luxurious yet practical SUV.

Not ideal for: Buyers prioritising ultimate on-road driving excitement, those concerned about reliability reputation, or those looking for the lowest running costs in the SUV segment.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Discovery if: You need vast interior space, genuine seven-seat practicality, excellent off-road capability, or a comfortable and luxurious family SUV.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise ultimate reliability, a more engaging on-road driving experience, or desire a lower purchase and running cost.

Competitive Position: The Land Rover Discovery (2017-present) stands out in the premium SUV segment for its class-leading practicality and unparalleled off-road prowess, setting it apart from more on-road biased rivals like the Audi Q7 and Volvo XC90. While its reputation for reliability is a concern, its luxurious cabin, comfortable ride, and go-anywhere character make it a highly desirable and versatile choice for families and adventurers alike. The facelifted models, with their improved Pivi Pro infotainment, further enhance its appeal.
