For 2018, the Land Rover Discovery comes standard with frontal collision mitigation with automatic emergency braking. Additionally, the Td6 diesel engine is now available on all three trim levels.The Land Rover Discovery has a relatively simple lineup of three trim levels, and we recommend the midlevel HSE.

PROS

Above-average capabilities off-road
Interior is luxurious with excellent materials
Clever features in terms of utility and technology

Touchscreen interface can be slow and difficult to operate
