Used Land Rover Discovery cars for sale

The Land Rover Discovery arrived in 1989 as a more family-friendly alternative to the rugged 90 and 110 (later renamed the Defender), while undercutting the plush Range Rover in terms of price. It's a formula that the popular SUV has stuck to throughout its five generations, each one proving to be a hit with family buyers. Over time, the Land Rover Discovery (or 'Disco' as it's commonly known) has grown in size, providing improved comfort and versatility while gaining impressive technology. It's always retained excellent off-road ability, though, giving the Discovery the edge over more road-biased alternatives like the BMW X5. In later generations, this has included clever Terrain Response systems, which use electronics to tweak things like the throttle response and traction control, allowing the Discovery to maintain progress in tricky conditions. With its offset rear number plate, the latest Discovery 5 is probably the most controversial of the bunch - yet, budget allowing, we reckon it's one of the most desirable choices. You can save cash by looking for a Discovery 4, which is still modern enough to provide a degree of reliability, while the older Discovery 3 still looks surprisingly fresh today. Discovery 1 and Discovery 2 models are still excellent off road and could be good choices for buyers looking for a useable 4x4 workhorse.
