Seven-seat 4x4s aren’t exactly uncommon these day, but there’s only one Land Rover Discovery. Does it have the style, luxury and practicality to fend off rivals like the Audi Q7? Ivan Aistrop travels to the deserts of the USA to find out.

Yes the design is gorgeous, I see the terrain types have also been improved.

Remember when you used to see Land Rovers trekking through the Amazon and crossing rivers with water all the way up to the windows. When you could buy a base utility vehicle like a Land Rover or even a Jeep that just had vinyl seats and no carpet or tons of electronics that would get destroyed by water. Why don't manufacturers offer a bare bones SUV like that anymore? No new Land Rover could even think about doing something like the Camel Trophy unless they completely waterproofed all the electronics and stripped them to replace all the luxurious interiors. Manufacturers should offer a totally stripped version of their SUV's like the Jeep Wrangler that you can literally hose down the interior and not ruin anything like the old ones.

I keep going back and forth about how I feel about this car

Great Video and the Land Rover UK took 40, 000 orders for the New Model

[clivesinclair]

Like to see one of these equipped and take part in the G4 Challenge - like many old model Discos did. It may well be very 'capable' on a pre defined (by Land Rover) off road course - anyone who has been on the Land Rover experience days will know exactly what I mean.

Wonder how many times it has been back to the dealers with problems !

[arturo]

In the UK this Discovery is £10-15K overpriced and that is one reason why there are hardly any to be seen driving around. It is a lot more than the new X5 and I know which one I would rather own. Also, the design is a bit radical and not for everyone. The offset rear number plate looks strange and the driver's view is greatly restricted by the rear centre headrest - what a mad idea!

[zacharyfernandez]

Am I the one here who likes the new design?

[bruceburns]

The black inner linings for the wheel arches extend outside and are exposed for about looks like 40mm above the tire and from a distance it just looks like gap between the tire and the body making the car body look like it is riding to high and looks gawky  and similar to the Ford Everest which looks like it about to fall over if it goes around a corner .

I liked the acadia but wanted more performance

[rylama]

which version are you using if it's the top notch what about the simple version do they come with air suspension or can you add terrain response ? ?

[Alan_Mac]

Seems a very capable vehicle. The boating and horsey sets will buy this is spades.

[jesusserrano]

how would you mount a winch on it or a metal bumper it looks simple now the last disco stood diffrent from any other suv this just looks like every thing else

[therealbajan]

Just like when the new range rover and range rover sport came out, people were bitching about the design, mainly people who couldn't afford one.
The new ones outsold the old ones, therefore land-rover knew what they were doing by making them the way they did.
their is nothing wrong with the new range rover direction, people just enjoy bitching about everything and fear change or different.

[shakir]

Im just exited when Disco Sport come out. Not a big fan of the design of this car especially the back

[felix]

Does he think Utah is in the Midwestern US?

[onefastcyclist]

Land Rover - a tow truck driver's dream come true: Walter M. Takes one of these to Death Valley NP, turns down the dirt road to Race Track, uses the hydraulics to raise ground clearance and speeds on his way!  Until he happens on a shallow gully cut across the road during last winter's storm. When the low profile tires quickly compress, the diminished  suspension travel (from using the hydraulics to raise ground clearance) fully compress and in a mater of milliseconds, two tires and two rimes are destroyed, However, this is only the beginning of Walter's problems as the nearest town that has replacement parts is hundreds of miles away!

[qasimansari]

Still feel they changed it TOO much. I miss the square look.

struggling to understand whar relevance that hotel had to the review of a car....

[kingwillbisthebest]

Mate if any review is too glowing it becomes unbelievable. It just sounds like you've been paid by Landrover. It probably is a great car but the way you've laid it out, it sounds like it's the greatest cruiser, 4x4, luxury hauller and most sexy car ever built. Turn it up mate! Too much bullshit here.
