CarWale's Opinion

Good Things	Iconic Off-Roader with world-renowned capabilities Comes with modern hardware, features and customisation Not as expensive as we expected it to be	Space and comfort Off-road ability Great ride quality
Could be Better	Not the easiest car to manoeuvre in city Even though it’s not utilitarian, the cabin is noisy Ergonomics could have been better	Odd exterior design Too heavy Third-row not as good as old car

2017 Land Rover Discovery First Drive Review

By Sagar Bhanushali3 years ago

Although a brilliant family car, the previous-gen Land Rover Discovery (the LR4) was underwhelming to drive and felt utterly old-school. The fast-evolving competition didn’t do it any favours either and with the buying trends changing significantly all the time, Land Rover has had to add to the Disco’s arsenal, while retaining all its practical attributes and off-road ability.
