Other than the Discovery's odd off-center rear license plate, it's got a sophisticated and substantial appearance that should find favor with shoppers in this segment. The sleek LED headlights feature signature LED daytime running lights. A sliding front sunroof and a fixed rear panoramic roof are standard, as are power-folding mirrors and LED taillights. On the base model, 20-inch alloy wheels are standard.
Our Lantau Bronze R-Dynamic came with front fog lights, a black exterior pack, and optional 21-inch, five-spoke gloss black wheels for $2,000 (20-inch alloys and a spare come standard). At the top of the range, the R-Dynamic HSE gets 22-inch wheels, premium headlights with auto high beam assist, and a power gesture tailgate.
The Land Rover Discovery's dimensions are similar to those of the BMW X5. But, while the Discovery is almost an inch longer, it's over four inches lower. The Discovery is 195.1 inches in length, 87.4 inches in width with the mirrors included, and is 74.3 inches tall. The wheelbase measures 115.1 inches, which is around seven inches longer than the wheelbase of the smaller Discovery Sport.
The Discovery has maximum approach/departure/ramp angles of 34/30/27.5 degrees, respectively. Along with a ride height of 11.14 inches and a wading depth of 35.43 inches, it's a legitimate off-roader.
The curb weight works out to 4,865 pounds for the four-cylinder models, which goes up to 5,160 lbs for the mild-hybrid variant.

Land Rover has provided Discovery shoppers with a generous color palette to choose from, but only one shade, Fuji White, is free of charge. The metallic palette consists of Lantau Bronze (our car), Santorini Black, Yulong White, Byron Blue, Eiger Grey, Portofino Blue, and Hakuba Silver. These metallics all cost $710. Premium metallics are more expensive at $1,550 each and include Carpathian Grey, Silicon Silver, Namib Orange, and Charente Grey. The R-Dynamic looks rather good in any of the grey shades with its black exterior details. On R-Dynamic models, such as our sampler, a black contrast roof is offered as a $1,000 option.
