2019 Land Rover Discovery

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2019 Discovery.

Body SUVTransmission Automatic (S8)

The 2019 Land Rover Discovery is an SUV powered by gasoline engines paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission, returning EPA-estimated fuel economy of 16 city, 21 highway, and 18 combined mpg while specifying 0W-20 or 5W-30 oil viscosity. In the broader reliability context spanning 1994 through 2026, this model year recorded 38 owner complaints — well below the peak of 56 seen in 1995 but above the single-complaint low of 2026 — with the electrical system emerging as the leading complaint area and four recalls issued. That complaint volume positions the 2019 Discovery in the middle of the nameplate's historical range, suggesting it carries moderate reported issues relative to earlier generations but more than the most recent model years.
