Land Rover Discovery trims
S
RRP from £47,405

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.

The Discovery is a seriously big car – it's at its best on the open road
The off-centre numberplate is a bit Marmite
There's plenty of room for three people in the middle row
The dash is well designed – but entry-level models look and feel a bit cheap
Clever electronics help the Discovery excel off road
It's worth upgrading to this InControl Touch Pro infotainment system – it's faster than the basic setup
There's loads of room in the front two rows, but it's less impressive in the back
There's some handy extra stowage in the centre console
All but entry-level models get two gloveboxes one above the other
With both rear sets of seats folded you get 2,406 litres of space – you'll never need hire a van again
For an extra £235, the stowage space under the central armrest can be cooled
Every model has a powered inner tailgate that drops over the bumper - giving you somewhere to sit when changing your wellies
Even passengers in the third row get a cubby hole and 12V socket
Even with all seven seats upright, there's room in the boot for a few bags of shopping
Drop the rearmost seats and there's enough room to take a family's luggage for a fortnight
Unlike most other seven-seat SUVs, the Discovery can take adults in its rearmost seats
The two rear seats are operated individually, giving great flexibility
The Discovery isn't huge fun to drive, but feels stable
The Discovery is most comfortable at high speeds
The view out the front is good, but less so out the back
