“The info-tainment system is the biggest let down. It's very dated and sometimes even shuts down or restarts on its own. One time it was just off for several hours. Compared to other luxury brands, Land Rover significantly lags behind others. In this time, it seems integration with technology should excel in a luxury brand!”
2015 Land Rover LR4: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2015 Land Rover LR4 is a light-update year, led by new InControl Apps smartphone integration. Side steps also become standard, while the engine, transmission, and core off-road hardware carry over.
About the 2015 Land Rover LR4
Discovery 4 / LR4 generation, late-cycle year and second-to-last model year before the all-new 2017 Discovery replaced the LR4 in the U.S.
Land Rover positioned the LR4 as a rare blend of true trail capability and premium family usefulness. Its appeal was not flashy speed or sleek car-like manners; it was the upright cabin, available seating for seven adults, serious towing ability, height-adjustable air suspension, and Terrain Response system, all wrapped in a high-quality interior. Versus rivals, the LR4’s big differentiator was that it felt like a luxury SUV that was still engineered for real rough-road use.
The 2015 LR4 is a roomy, upright luxury SUV built around real off-road ability, with full-time four-wheel drive and height-adjustable air suspension. HSE adds a fold-flat third row, navigation, and xenon headlights, while HSE LUX focuses on a richer cabin with Windsor leather and added front-seat support.

“I still think you need to improve your search mode on the satellite radio. My wife's Mercedes allows her to scroll thru stations with a turn knob and flashes the Sirius station etc on the display rapidly---not the best out there at all currently but better than my last two Rovers.”
“I sought to cure/correct a problem with discomfort experienced while driving for extended periods. I was successful in this endeavor by selecting the Land Rover LR4”
