ANALYSISHow safe is the 2022 Land Rover Discovery Sport?
The 2022 Land Rover Discovery Sport has not been crash-tested by NHTSA, leaving no star-rating data for this model year. This absence means that MotorCaliber's Safety Index, which incorporates crash-test performance, cannot be calculated. The vehicle's federal administrative footprint is light, with a single recall issued. This recall addresses seat belt pretensioners in a multi-model campaign. Owner complaints are minimal, with three reports spread across four distinct vehicle systems, indicating no dominant area of concern. The Light recall and complaint burden band suggests a lower administrative impact, but this metric does not replace the crucial insight derived from crash-test results.
