The mid-size Land Rover Discovery is a bit different than most luxury SUVs. The regal utility vehicle is wholly capable off-road, while still treating passengers in utmost comfort. Currently, a choice of two turbocharged engines are available, a four-cylinder and a six-cylinder hybrid.
The Discovery is one of the few vehicles in its segment that offers a third row of seats, allowing more passengers onboard.

2022 Land Rover Discovery Review: Unsung Hero
The Land Rover Discovery is the Rodney Dangerfield of the British brand’s lineup.
The Defender, Range Rover, and Range Rover Sport get the lion’s share of the attention. But the Disco takes a lot of the same core Land Rover attributes and repackages them in a family-friendly, practical package. The luxury mid-sized SUV scene is a crowded one, and newer, flashier competitors have forced the Disco into the background.
A recent round of updates has given us as good a reason as any to re-examine Land Rover’s middle child. With a peach of a powertrain, the Discovery is the dark horse of its segment, offering up a solid blend of style, luxury, tech, and utility.
Not a whole lot for 2022. The Disco saw some choice upgrades inside last year, including a new steering wheel and repositioned electronic gear selector. JLR improved its tech suite as well, with a larger touchscreen running Pivi Pro, more USB ports, and wireless phone mirroring.
Jeep Grand Cherokee vs Land Rover Discovery Comparison
Few brands hold reputations for off-road prowess like Jeep and Land Rover.
For decades, these two automakers have built hearty SUVs as at home on a cottage trail as they are in front of a swanky hotel. The Jeep Grand Cherokee and Land Rover Discovery both represent something of a sweet spot in their respective family lineups: big enough to haul five adults and their stuff, but not too large as to be unwieldy.
With a new generation of two-row Grand Cherokee upon us for 2022, and the Disco getting its own mild refresh last year, it was high time to pit these two titans against one another. Managing editor Mike Schlee and I spent a week with both to figure out which high-falutin’ high-rider is the one to have.
