Makes reasonable sense, even though it adds thousands to the price. As well as electric leather seats (heated in the front), you get front and rear parking sensors, sat-nav, automatic lights and wipers, and LED headlights.

You might imagine a 2.0-litre diesel would struggle in a car as big and heavy as the Discovery, but this entry-level engine delivers surprisingly adequate performance. There is a pause between you pushing the accelerator and the car surging forward, but once in to its stride speed builds steadily enough.
