The Land Rover Discovery is a real do-it-all-in-style vehicle. It devours miles in easy-going, refined comfort and gobbles mountains like they were molehills.
Most models have air springs and independent suspension, which keep them smooth and forgiving over bumps, but sharp and controlled around corners. Permanent four-wheel drive gives good traction in all conditions and clever electronic off-road aids take the sweat out of negotiating the rough stuff.
Both engines - the Land Rover 4.4 V8 petrol and the Land Rover 2.7 V6 turbodiesel - need to be worked to get this heavy car moving at first, but they’re quiet and refined once you're up to speed.
The cabin is simply brilliant: classy design, roomy for seven (although cheaper versions have only five seats), versatile, great all-round visibility and decent kit. Boot space is limited with seven on board, but the third (and second) rows fold to create a huge load-carrying potential.
This third-generation Land Rover Discovery was launched in autumn 2004, and is a dramatic improvement on the previous version.
There are two engines, both based on Jaguar units. The Land Rover 4.4-litre V8 petrol and Land Rover 2.7-litre V6 turbodiesel are smooth, quiet and lively once up to speed, but they do like a drink. We’d go for the diesel, and one with the optional six-speed auto if possible.
The most basic versions are worth avoiding, as they go without air suspension, have a simplified version of the excellent Terrain Response off-road driving aids and make do with five seats. Seven-seaters will be easier and quicker to flog on later, and the air suspension and full five-mode Terrain Response are well worth having.
Land Rover S trim is decent value, but Land Rover SE brings leather seats and desirable goodies, while Land Rover HSE has all the gizmos and chrome-plated whistles.
