More Expert Reviews on X3 M40i and Discovery

2017 Land Rover Discovery First Drive Review

By Sagar Bhanushali29 Nov 2017

Although a brilliant family car, the previous-gen Land Rover Discovery (the LR4) was underwhelming to drive and felt utterly old-school. The fast-evolving competition didn’t do it any favours either and with the buying trends changing significantly all the time, Land Rover has had to add to the Disco’s arsenal, while retaining all its practical attributes and off-road ability.
