Land Rover Discovery Prices and Specifications

The Discovery S is the cheapest model in the range (although it’s not exactly low-cost…) and, from the inside, it feels it – the seats are fabric, not leather and you don’t get nice, glossy trim pieces. You also have to do without front and rear parking sensors – almost essential in a car this size. You do, however, get a powered tailgate, an eight-inch touchscreen (but with no sat-nav), automatic emergency braking, air-conditioning and 19-inch alloy wheels.

Even this basement-level spec for the Discovery features LED headlights, heated folding door mirrors and a heated windscreen. In addition, you get dual-zone climate control, keyless entry and 14-way electrically adjustable and heated front seats. There’s also R-Dynamic styling, a black exterior pack and darkened rear lights., plus darker interior trim.

Step up to R Dynamic SE and you’ll enjoy the benefits of headlight washers, front and rear panoramic roofs, automatic full beam and automatic headlight levelling. On top of all that there’s 21-inch dark grey alloy wheels and an electrically adjustable steering column. Comfort is taken care of by the 18-way adjustable front seats, and a 12-speaker 400W Meridian audio system takes care of the tunes.

You’re entering ‘all the bells and whistles’ territory now. For a start, Matrix LED headlights show the way ahead, and you can even open the tailgate merely by waving your foot beneath the rear bumper. The alloys are now 22 inches in diameter. Inside, the middle-row seats are heated and electrically adjustable, and the two rear seats can be raised and lowered electrically.
