The 2016 Land Rover LR4 receives a mixed rating of 45/100, with Throttle House appreciating its livability and cabin comfort while harboring serious reservations about its reliability. The vehicle excels in everyday drivability with a smooth ride, light responsive steering suitable for off-roading, and intuitive throttle mapping, plus it offers attractive styling as "the last great looking Discovery" with heated luxury features like rear seats and windscreen. However, major concerns plague the LR4: the previous engine suffered catastrophic timing chain failures requiring a complete engine replacement, the current model already has its check engine light on, fuel economy sits at a poor 13.7L per 100km, and at $30,000 CAD the value proposition is questionable given inevitable repair costs will exceed typical competitors like the Honda Pilot. This vehicle is best suited for enthusiasts who prioritize off-road capability and distinctive styling over reliability and running costs, and who can tolerate outdated technology and budget for significant maintenance.
