2023 Land Rover Discovery Safety and Reliability

No Land Rover Discovery safety review has been published by the NHTSA, and the same goes for the IIHS. In the Euro NCAP test, the SUV attained the maximum five-star rating, though.

Land Rover has equipped the Discovery to a high level in terms of safety gear, and this applies to all models. The base Discovery comes with eight airbags including curtain airbags for front/rear occupants, along with the usuals like stability control and tire pressure monitoring.

Driver-assistance tech includes adaptive cruise control, emergency braking, blind-spot assist, a 3D surround-view camera system, a clear exit monitor, a driver-condition monitor, lane-keep assist, front/rear parking sensors, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, traffic-sign recognition with an adaptive speed limiter, and wade sensing. Hill descent control and gradient acceleration control are standard features as part of the Discovery's off-roading equipment list. Our tester also included the optional head-up display. The R-Dynamic HSE adds automatic high beams and adaptive cruise control.

The 2023 Discovery isn't a vehicle with the best reliability reputation in its class, although it's not in an absolutely dire situation either. J.D. Power hasn't yet published a rating for the new Land Rover Discovery, although the 2020 version did attain a score of 72 out of 100 for quality and reliability. This isn't as good as several other German SUVs. At the time of writing, the 2023 Discovery had not yet succumbed to any recalls. However, last year's model was recalled for an engine oil leak that may cause a fire and a malfunctioning seatbelt pre-tensioner.

The Discovery comes with four-year/50,000-mile limited and powertrain warranties, including 24-hour roadside assistance. A six-year corrosion perforation warranty is not limited by mileage.
