LAND ROVER Discovery · photos, packages and modifications

Compare the Land Rover Discovery 4 with an action hero and you will see similarities in the form of ruggedness that they both share. However, because of the Xenon headlights which are jewel-like along with Rover-style grille, as well as the alloy wheels that are quite huge, this car has the capability of looking smart in a dirty field, as well as when it is parked outside a five-star hotel. The panels have tight gaps, and since it has proportions that are angular and chunky, this car can actually look more beautiful than an Audi Q7.

This car has been made so that the stresses and problems of daily life can be melted away, especially when driving. This is made possible because of the precise steering along the smooth ride, which ensures that the car can be placed accurately and precisely on the road. You may not find it as much sporty as the BMW X5, especially because of the fact that when it is heavily cornered, the body may roll a bit, as well as the slight problem that the enormous weight of this vehicle cannot be easily disguised. However, it definitely has the capability to smooth over the different bumps which is achieved in a similar manner to that of a luxury saloon. The engine offer is extremely good, which consists of a 3.0 liter V6 Twin Turbodiesel, which is able to produce 252 bhp. This allows the Land Rover Discovery to travel 0-62 mph within 8.8 seconds.

You will definitely feel the accomplishment that comes with sitting in a huge car like the Land Rover. However, this does not mean that it is a superficial feeling. In fact, the features make the driver feel accomplished in owning this car. This is due to the safety features which include the Euro NCAP crash test rating that achieved this car a five-star rating, along with different standard airbags. There is electronic brake-force distribution, as well. The only downfall of this car is the fact that it has not gotten a huge rating on the reliability scale. However, in the Driver Power Survey of 2012, this car was able to achieve a 52nd rating, which is quite respectable. You need to remember, though that if something goes wrong with this car, you can expect huge repair bills which can heavily weigh down your pocket.

As far as the interior of the car is considered, it is definitely first-class made possible through the first-class cabin along with the raised seating position. The dashboard is quite excellent made from leather, soft-touch plastics, along with wood and chunky air vents. The drivers and passengers will have plenty of room. There is some technology attraction as well which includes the center console screen which has a dual-view. Other additional features of this car include the fact that it comes with five cameras that help you in tight spaces, whether it is in a car park or if you are stuck on a busy road. There are different models although the basic GS models are not recommended with the XS and HSE models completely right. This is because these models have CD changer, automatic lights, satellite navigation, parking sensors as well as leather seats. The car also has a layout of seven-seats which can be operated easily. In fact, even the rearmost seats can accommodate two adults. If the rearmost seats are folded, then this gives the car an ample of storage with a 2558 load area. There is split tailgate which makes loading heavy to handle items quite easy. You will also find four-wheel drive as well as Terrain Response along with a number of different modes quite excellent. The modes are snow, sand and deep mud that puts the sporty competitors such as Audi Q7 and BMW X5 on the downslide.
