2023 Land Rover Discovery Model Review with Prices, Photos, & Specs

About the Land Rover Discovery

Now in its fifth generation, the Land Rover Discovery combines off-road prowess and performance with exceptional efficiency like no other SUV in its class. Its standard 2.0L P300 i4 engine provides the perfect blend of power, fuel economy, and refinement. Equipped to handle the challenges of everyday life, the Discovery includes multiple storage cubbies, nine USB ports throughout the cabin, four-zone climate control, and a powered gesture tailgate. You’ll have room for up to five or even seven passengers thanks to the third-row seating option of HSE models. While never compromising on its superior off-road capabilities, the Land Rover Discovery still lets you enjoy its more luxurious and civilized personality.

Proven Design & Capable Performance

Crafted with a rugged yet modern design, the Discovery still hints at its outstanding capabilities with an assertive side profile along with perfectly-proportioned character lines stretching along its flanks. Instantly recognizable as a Land Rover, the Discovery has plenty of muscle to match its commanding appearance. You’ll have access to 355 horsepower from its optional 3.0L P360 i4 MHEV engine paired with the Terrain Response 2 system. Designed to constantly monitor road surface conditions, this system is able to automatically choose driving modes to deliver the best possible performance based on the situation. Thanks to a maximum towing capacity of up to 8,200 pounds, the Land Rover Discovery allows you to bring even your largest toys along for the journey.
