The Discovery Sport is the cheapest way into a Land Rover in the UAE — a five-plus-two family SUV with real ground clearance and a badge that costs far more further up the range. We have 7 used Discovery Sports listed.
How much does a used Land Rover Discovery Sport cost in the UAE?
A 2017 Land Rover Discovery Sport averaged AED 34,000 in our closed sales. Asking prices across our current listings run from AED 38000 for a late-2010s car up to AED 130000 for a recent one. A recent car costs about 47% less than a new Discovery Sport.
Which used Land Rover Discovery Sport year should you buy?
2020 or later if you can. The Discovery Sport arrived in 2015 and was heavily reworked for 2020: a new platform underneath, mild-hybrid assistance on the four-cylinder engine, a redesigned cabin and much improved electrical architecture. The 2015 to 2019 cars look almost identical outside and cost considerably less, which makes the earlier one a genuine budget option provided the service record is complete.
Is a used Land Rover Discovery Sport reliable?
The finding that surprises people: only 3% of the Land Rover Discovery Sports we inspect in the UAE show an electrical or electronics fault, against the 14% we would expect for SUVs of the same age and mileage here. That is the opposite of what the marque's reputation predicts, and it holds at a typical 133,000 km. What to look at instead is the suspension and the cooling system, both worked hard by heat and speed bumps.
Land Rover Discovery Sport or BMW X5?
The BMW X5 is the better road car and carries a strong body record at 44% previous panel repair against a 65% expectation for its class, but it costs more to buy and to service. The Audi Q7 is similar money with a third row, and the weaker mechanical record of the three: 35% show a fault against 24% expected for its own class. For the full Land Rover, the Range Rover HSE is the step up.
