I presume the engine is identical in both.
Go for a newer 2 litre, not the older 2.2
The Jaaag is too 'new money'.

The Discovery seems to have generally better reviews that the Jag...best try both !

Better Nouveau Riche than Never Riche
If you are a farmer or live down a track in the middle of the Pennines get the Disco
If you may get the odd bit of snow, use the odd country lane get the Jag
The jag is smoother, less cumbersome and more stylish .....it's a much nicer drive and looks a lot less boxy
and I say that as a ture Alfisti
Disco - check its got the new infotainment system. I had a Range Rover Sport for a couple of months (courtesy car, 64 reg) and whilst the system sounded ace, it was archaic and shite in terms of useability. To the point where it was dangerously crap - slow and unresponsive, so bad it was distracting. The Disco Sport is a bit dull too, a bit school run and fleece. The F Pace is interesting IMO. There's a lot about too, and you wouldn't be getting a first gen model (no bad thing), if new, so less chance of faults etc. The F Pace looks a reet beast as well, with that big grill. Loads of good tech in them as well. Drive well.
Skodas? Seats? Yawn city, you only live once and both those make dull boring cars.
Off road - I've had quite a few 4x4s over the years, and unless you live in the sticks or Scotland, the off road ability is meaningless. Given that we hardly get any snow, and when we do, its only a couple of days, I wouldn't worry about it. I had a Nissan X trail, 2.5 petrol - really good off road, but rough as hell on road. Didn't last long.
Jeep Grand Cherokee - kept it 4 years. Unstoppable off road, like a barge on road, dull but comfortable, and laughably thirsty.
Since then, I'm on my 3rd BMW 4WD (all X6s), and tbh I can't fault them in any department. I like the XDrive system for its onroad drive, not bothered about what it's like off, as I don't need to do it. Latest one is the M50D, and its ludicrously fast, but I love it. Not particularly good in the recent snow, better than a standard car, but not as good as Landrovers or Jeeps. Besides, they all skid downhill no matter what.
So, all depends on what you need the car for and where you live really (in respec of off road ability), IMO.
Nice choice to have though
BMW 530d or 520d touring - if you want something big, fun with 4wd
