Land-Rover Discovery-Sport Years to AvoidThe weakest years — and the one you should buy instead

Owners frequently report issues with the InControl Touch Pro infotainment system freezing, going blank, or lagging. Beyond infotainment, battery drain issues and various sensor-related warning lights are common, often leading to diagnostics and component replacement.

While improved, the Ingenium gasoline engine can still suffer from issues like oil consumption, timing chain tensioner wear, and turbocharger failures. Various engine sensor faults (e.g. O2, NOx, coolant level) can trigger 'Check Engine' lights and performance restrictions.
