Overview

The 2019 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 3 trims, the Land Rover Discovery starts off at a base price of MSRP $52,300 and carries on to $68,500. 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 strikes the best balance of luxury and capability. Apart from adding loads of luxuries over the SE trim, the HSE brings in the suite of driving assist features that are optional on the base model as standard. Moreover, the Capability Plus package on HSE is a must-have for offroading enthusiasts. These make the Discovery HSE an unstoppable off-roader. Finally, if it’s brimmed with all the options, it is almost as good as the range-topping trim.
