Common Problem

TL;DR
The 2020 Land Rover Discovery Sport has recurring issues with electronics, AC systems, locking mechanisms, and engine reliability. It is known for luxury features but also notorious for frequent maintenance needs.
Electronics and Infotainment System
One of the most common complaints about the Discovery Sport is related to its electronic systems. Owners have reported issues with faulty antennas affecting door locking and remote start functions. The infotainment system often glitches and is not user-friendly. Additionally, problems with USB ports and third-row seat motors have been noted.
AC and Cooling System Issues
The air conditioning system in the 2020 Discovery Sport can be problematic. Owners have experienced ongoing issues such as leaks and insufficient cooling even after service interventions. Coolant hose cracks are another issue that has been reported, which might require warranty coverage.
Locking Mechanism Faults
There are known issues with the locking mechanisms, particularly involving double locking where the wing mirrors fail to fold in, and the car alarms unnecessarily. This problem is often traced back to a faulty latch in one of the doors.
Engine and Mechanical Concerns
The Discovery Sport's engines, particularly the diesel variants, suffer from oil contamination due to fuel leakage during DPF regeneration. This requires more frequent oil changes than the manufacturer suggests. Additionally, mechanical failures in the 9-speed automatic transmission have been reported.
Comparison with Other Vehicles
While the Discovery Sport offers a luxurious ride and superior off-road capability compared to competitors like the Ford Escape or Toyota Rav4, it comes with a higher risk of maintenance issues. Buyers should weigh the benefits of its luxury features against the potential for frequent repairs and consider whether they can manage the associated costs and inconveniences.
