Reviewers from autocar have found:

The new Pivi Pro infotainment system is now standard fitment on all but the entry-level version of the Discovery Sport and Evoque. We’ve been behind the wheel of the second-from-top Discovery Sport R-Dynamic SE, which is priced from a cool £51,895 outright when equipped with the P300e drivetrain. It’s a well-rounded and stylishly rendered platform.

Pros

Superb infotainment system
Comfortable to drive
Decent fuel economy

Cons

No third row option

Reviewers from autoexpress have found:

The latest Land Rover Discovery is the most capable yet. It manages to blend the unrivalled off-road ability and toughness of the company's previous 4x4s with a considerably better on-road driving experience and greater efficiency. The Disco is impressively refined, too, while its lighter weight and the addition of Land Rover's twin-turbo four-cylinder diesel engine have made the seven-seat SUV available to a wider group of buyers.

Pros

Excellent off-road capability
Comfortable to drive
Decent on-road performance

Cons

Pricey compared to the rest of the range

Reviewers from carmagazine have found:

The Discovery is an underrated car in this regard. It might not be a car these days to hose out after carrying pigs to market, but the Discovery is still a very useful vehicle. The 302bhp 3.0 V6 is classy: insistent yet unobtrusive. There's much less body roll and it rides sumptuously even on 21-inch alloys.

Pros

Sleek, classy interior
Great boot
Decent infotainment

Cons

Some niggles
Not the most practical

Reviewers from cnet have found:

Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are both standard, and an optional Wi-Fi hotspot can keep up to eight devices connected to the internet. Charging options are plentiful, with up to nine USB-C charging points across all three rows of seats. The interior has plenty of leather, shiny black trim and some very nice open-pore wood.

Pros

Comfortable interior
Good driver-assistance tech

Cons

Inaccurate infotainment tech
Lack of cargo space
