With an overall Carivo score of 6.7/10, the 2025 Land Rover Discovery earns a Good rating among the suvs we've scored. Its strongest dimension is Safety at 8.5/10, while Reliability at 5.2/10 is where it trails the competition most noticeably. It's a capable but unexceptional suv — stronger alternatives exist if you're willing to shop the segment carefully.
Reliability and safety are the two dimensions that matter most for long-term ownership costs. We rate reliability at 5.2/10 — below the segment average in our scoring. Budget for potentially higher maintenance costs and check the recall record below before buying. Safety is a strength too — 8.5/10 by our scoring. As with any car, verify the official ratings for your specific trim at nhtsa.gov/ratings.
Performance at 6.9/10 is a genuine liability and a score that should factor heavily into any buying decision. The powertrain and chassis dynamics trail class rivals by a meaningful margin — don't overlook it. Technology comes in at 7.7/10 — functional and modern, with wireless connectivity and core ADAS features, though some competitors pack more standard tech at this price point.
Priced from $63,911–$86,130, 21 MPG, seating 7, the Land Rover Discovery sits in the premium tier of the suv category. The value score of 5.6/10 is a red flag — comparable alternatives offer meaningfully more for the same outlay. Shop the segment before deciding. At 1 year old, it's recent enough that the core feature set holds up well against current competition.
Bottom line: There's a case for the 2025 Land Rover Discovery, but it needs the right buyer. Its performance and value and reliability scores trail the class, and several higher-rated rivals sell for similar money — comparison-shop before committing.
