LAND ROVER DISCOVERY 4X4 REVIEW

For The Discovery is brilliant on- and off-road. The classy cabin has space for seven, plus superb versatility and excellent levels of refinement.

Against The big mirrors and bluff windscreen create a fair bit of wind noise. It's expensive to run, either privately or as a company car.

What Car? says

4 out of 5 stars

Blends workhorse ability, executive refinement and a versatile cabin. It has a great image, too.

Land Rover Discovery 4x4 3.0 SDV6 XS 5dr

With the likes of leather trim, sat-nav and cruise control among the standard kit, this is our favourite Disco - and our 2010 4x4 of the Year.

Buyer's notes

Target Price team says:

There's just one diesel engine in the Discovery range, so the trim is your only consideration. XS gives you all the equipment you could ever want, but most buyers will specify top-of-the-range HSE.

If you want to learn how to make the most of your Land Rover, you can enrol on one of the company's Experience Days. These involve on- and off-road tuition at one of eight centres throughout the UK and cater for all competence levels. You can even give gift vouchers for whole- or half-day courses, with the price depending on the car used in the experience: Range Rovers are dearer than 'normal' Land Rovers.
