Land Rover Discovery 3.0 P360 Metropolitan Edition 5dr Auto Review
Category: 7-seater
Section: Version review
The Land Rover Discovery has a number of important strengths. It's desirable, practical, great off road and available more cheaply than some rivals. Reliability is a real weak point though, and the Discovery isn't as sophisticated on the road or as plush inside as an Audi Q7 or BMW X7. We recommend the D300 diesel engine with entry-level S trim.
The trim
See full equipmentRange-topping Metropolitan trim offers a similar amount of creature comforts to R-Dynamic HSE, but with bespoke styling. We think cheaper trims offer better value.
The engine
See full engine specsThe only petrol option is this 3.0-litre P360. On paper, it offers fractionally quicker acceleration than the D300 diesel, but needs to be worked pretty hard to feel as fast as its 6.2sec 0-60mph time suggests.
