View dealThe Land Rover Discovery is a seven-seat, full-size SUV built to carry a family and tow something substantial behind it. It sits between the Defender and the Range Rover in Land Rover's line-up: less overtly rugged than the first, less ostentatious than the second, and roomier for people than either.
The choice here is simple. One body style, one engine - a 3-litre diesel with 345 bhp, an automatic gearbox and all-wheel drive - and three trims: S, Landmark Edition and Tempest.
It suits drivers who genuinely need three usable rows, a 3,500 kg braked towing limit and the ability to get down a rutted track without drama. If you only ever carry two people to the station, it's more car than you need.

Manufacturer data for the versions we currently offer. Last updated 5 October 2026.
The Discovery is Land Rover's practical flagship: a 4.96 m, seven-seat SUV on air suspension, sold in the UK only as a 345 bhp diesel with all-wheel drive. It's covered by a three-year, unlimited-mileage manufacturer warranty.
Reviewers consistently praise the same things - the comfort of the ride, the quietness at motorway speed, and third-row seats that adults can actually use, which is rare in this class. Road testers are equally consistent that it isn't the sharpest large SUV through corners, and that it feels its size in a multi-storey.
One number worth understanding early: the boot is 172 litres with all seven seats in place, rising to 1,997 litres with the rear rows folded. Seven people and a week's luggage don't fit together.
Because the Discovery is well equipped whichever trim you pick, and leasing keeps a large, high-value diesel SUV inside a fixed monthly cost for a set term. Every version gets air suspension, leather upholstery and a long list of driver assistance kit as standard.
That standard list includes adaptive cruise control, a 360-degree camera, front and rear parking sensors, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-keep assist, traffic sign recognition and autonomous emergency braking. Heated front seats, keyless entry and start, wireless phone charging, a hands-free tailgate, built-in navigation, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are also fitted throughout the range.
Practically, you get 5 doors, a 2.92 m wheelbase, roof rails rated to 80 kg and 3,500 kg of braked towing capacity. The turning circle is 12.4 m, so think about your driveway and your usual parking before you commit to a two-metre-wide car.
There's only one, so the decision is really whether diesel suits your driving. The Discovery is sold as a 3-litre diesel with 345 bhp, an automatic gearbox and all-wheel drive - no petrol, no hybrid, no plug.
A 3.0-litre six-cylinder with 700 Nm of torque, an 8-speed automatic and all-wheel drive. It covers 0-62 mph in 6.3 seconds, records 33.8-34.4 mpg and 215-219 g/km of CO2, and tows up to 3,500 kg braked. Nothing to charge, and an 89-litre tank for long runs.
| Diesel | |
|---|---|
| Boot | 172 litres |
| Power | 345 bhp |

Three trims, and the differences are mostly about roof, leather and cabin technology rather than how the car drives - every version has the same engine and the same 345 bhp.
The S rides on 21-inch "Style 7001" alloys with leather upholstery, a fixed panoramic glass roof, LED headlights with automatic high beam, dual-zone climate control, a 3D surround camera, a Meridian sound system and Pivi Pro connected navigation. A head-up display, heated steering wheel and detachable towbar are available as options.
The S is currently available from £936.90 a month.
Landmark Edition swaps to 22-inch "Style 5124" alloys and adds a sliding front sunroof with a fixed rear panoramic roof, a leather steering wheel and the Meridian surround sound system. It also brings matrix LED headlights, ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, three-zone climate control and ambient lighting.
The Landmark Edition is currently available from £1,002.26 a month. Against the S, that is currently £65.36/mo more expensive.
Tempest builds on the Landmark Edition with a full extended leather upgrade, a heated steering wheel and a head-up display, plus four-zone climate control. It keeps the 22-inch "Style 5124" wheels, and a detachable or retractable towbar and wi-fi hotspot remain on the options list.
The Tempest is currently available from £1,106.35 a month. Against the Landmark Edition, that is currently £104.09/mo more expensive.
If the Discovery isn't quite right, the Land Rover Defender is the more rugged sibling, while the INEOS Grenadier and Toyota Land Cruiser take a more utilitarian approach. The Audi Q7 is the road-biased seven-seater. More from the brand sits on our Land Rover leasing page.
