Land Rover Discovery Overview

The Land Rover Discovery is the Swiss Army knife of sport-utility vehicles. While a lot of people buy Land Rovers for their panache, few vehicles can match their off-road capability.

Land Rover redesigned and re-engineered its Discovery for 1999 and dubbed it the Discovery Series II to indicate that it is the second-generation version. Discovery Series II has boosted Land Rover sales 30 percent. The re-engineered chassis and suspension made it easier to drive on the highway without sacrificing its legendary off-road capability. Refinements to the interior have reduced some of the quirkiness without losing that Land Rover charm. Redesigned styling makes it look more confident without losing its distinctive appearance. Land Rovers offer distinction, yet the price of a Discovery is lower than most people realize.

Land Rover's Discovery Series II remains the ultimate off-road utility vehicle.
