What 2025 Land Rover Discovery Sport owners say
Driver assistance
I am new to Land Rover Discovery Sport and a bit disappointed with the Blind Spot Warning functionality. There is very little warning compared to all other cars I have owned with this feature. There needs to be an option for audible warning when blind spot monitoring detects something and the turn signal is activated. Currently there is no audible warning. Also the system seems a bit slow. Feels like it should detect a blind spot object sooner. Finally, there needs to be blind spot warning indicators on the HUD. All of these are safety issue and improvement opportunities.
Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) and Lane Keep Assist systems turn off for no apparent reasons. This happened multiple times on this loaner vehicle and my own vehicle (same model). All the times I've seen this happen it was at night and clear out. So its not like radars or cameras are blocked by rain, snow, etc...This needs to be investigated since its happening on all of these models and radar/cameras are clear. Only common theme so far is that its happening when its dark out.
