The Land Rover Discovery has been updated with some minor cosmetic tweaks, a new range of mild hybrid engines and a new Pivi Pro Infotainment. It’s four years since Land Rover replaced the Discovery 4 with the new Discovery (which isn’t the Discovery 5), in the process seemingly losing a lot of what made the […]

The Land Rover Discovery Landmark Edition arrives to celebrates 30 years since the Land Rover Discovery was launched in 1989.

Land Rover Discovery SVX goes the way of the Range Rover SV Coupe
The Land Rover Discovery SVX – a Discovery with a supercharged V8 – has been binned my Jaguar Land Rover and won’t now be built.

Why is a Land Rover Discovery towing a four foot chrome RHINO round London?
Land Rover’s Chief Designer, Gerry McGovern, has created a four foot long chrome rhinoceros complete with red horn to support the Tusk Rhino Trail.

New Land Rover Discovery Commercial – the Discovery turns in to a Posh VAN again
The Land Rover Discovery Commercial returns for the new generation, offering two seats with a big load area behind – and low BIK rates too.

Land Rover Discovery’s WONKY-looking tailgate FIXED
The new Land Rover Discovery is an able car, but tried too hard to reach in to its history with an off-set rear numberplate. But there is a fix. It’s a bit over a year since the Land Rover Discovery 5 arrived (although LR don’t call it that – it’s not even the LR5 across […]

The Land Rover Discovery SVX lands at Frankfurt as an SVX Concept for an extreme Discovery with 5.0 litre V8 and beefed-up off-road credentials. The new Land Rover Discovery may not have a reputation as Land Rover’s most able off-roader, but, Defender apart, the last few generations of the Discovery certainly did. That, no doubt […]
