Land Rover Discovery (Series 4) 2009-2016

[Ferrer]

The new, fourth generation of Land Rover's supremely versatile seven-seat vehicle gains a new name – Discovery 4 – to go with its powerful and highly efficient new engines, fresh exterior identity and more premium cabin. The class-leading breadth of capability is extended even further with dynamic improvements for both road and off-road driving, and Land Rover has added a battery of user-friendly new technologies and features.

“The outgoing Discovery 3 has well over 100 international awards to its name. But we've found ways to improve virtually every aspect of the vehicle's design and engineering – some subtle, some major. New design signals comprehensive engineering change under the skin, and now gives us the Discovery 4," says Phil Popham, Land Rover managing director.

Speaking of overrated vehicles.

Speaking of overrated vehicles.

Absolutely not - it's just popular.

It IS a genuine off-roader
It IS a genuine luxury vehicle

I bet they sell a LOT in China / Russia as people can afford them.

Spoken like a true fanboy.

Spoken like a true fanboy.

he is right though.
This car used to sell more before the army of X5s and MLs invaded our roads, but I would definitely take this rather than those.
or the Range Rover.
Possibily the LR4/Discovery suffered also of the introduction of the Range Rover Sport.

Popularly overrated.

Well, this "fanboy" would only buy one if:

- He needed an off-roader / something practical for 7 people
- He had the money to purchase and run one
- He had the money to keep it in as close to showroom condition as possible, even if it had been used for serious off-roading.

And even then...only "maybe". - Depending on my requirements for an off-roader / 7-seat vehicle.

I do like the car (or whatever abbreviation everyone's using this week!), but I don't believe my appreciation for it is disproportionate to its' talents.

You gotta love those pictures of a Discovery in the wilderness. Not that any Discovery will ever see anything wilder than women raging over that last blouse 50% off regular price.

Apply that to 99.9% SUV's.

They show Porsche GT3s and 430 Scuderias on tracks and most of them will never see one.

And by the way, I happen to really like the way this car looks.

You could get the same result on a nice twisty mountain road, though.

Tracks don't have speed limits, cop or MPVs full of screaming kids coming from the other direction.

If you know the right roads you don't have to (mostly) worry about that either.

Ours. No blouse-raging women in sight.
