Overview

The 2017 Land Rover Discovery is a proud member of the midsize SUV segment, locking horns with cars like the Acura MDX, the Audi Q7, and the BMW X5. Spread across 4 trims, the Land Rover Discovery starts off at a base price of MSRP $49,990 and carries on to $73,950. Its 3.0L Supercharged V6 engine and 8-Speed Automatic transmission give the SUV 340 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque. With that, it manages a 0-60 of 6.6 seconds and boasts a towing capacity of 8,201 pounds. Moving to fuel economy, the Land Rover Discovery manages to get a combined EPA rating of 18 MPG, a poor number for the class, giving its rivals an edge. It also has a ground clearance of 11.1 inches. 

Buying Advice

The Land Rover Discovery HSE offers a great mix of features and off-road capability. It comes standard with notable features like memory function for driver's seats, a power liftgate, a Meridian Audio system, and the InControl Pro infotainment system with a 10-inch touchscreen. Moreover, the flexibility it offers with optional features and packages that let you further customize your vehicle is commendable as they bring it even closer to the top-end trim.
