For The Land Rover Discovery is brilliant on- and off-road. Its classy cabin offers space for seven and superb versatility, plus you get lots of equipment as standard.

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.

Blends workhorse ability, executive refinement and a versatile cabin. The Land Rover Discovery has a great image, too.

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.
