Silent cabin, smoother driving, music system amazing.

My friend uses this one. amazing driving experience smooth driving. interior quality is next to fab. performance is like setting a gear on (D) and the car is ready to take off! The music system is amazing. I know the service as I own a Fortuner so there is no doubt after sales in Toyota and Lexus!

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.
