Cars With The Worst Safety Ratings

Lowest-Rated Luxury Compact SUV: Land Rover Discovery Sport

It may be a shock for you to see that there’s a Land Rover on our worst safety rating list. We all think of Land Rover as a fairly safe brand and a world leader in the area of SUVs. The British brand has always been reputable, but according to car experts, they say that they’ve been less than reliable over the last few years.

The Land Rover Discovery Sport is a great example of the decline of Land Rover’s standards. The Discovery Sport just cannot compete with other compact SUVs. Even though it has a turbo four cylinder engine, the performance is inconsistent and the transmission is known to be less than responsive. Experts even criticize this SUV’s claim to be ‘sporty’.

Finally, for almost $40,000, you may not be impressed by its safety and reliability scores which put it at the bottom of the league of luxury compact SUVs.
