The Land Rover Discovery arrived in North America for the 1994 model year with the aim of providing an off-road family vehicle. Designed with a spacious, airy cabin, the Discovery was powered by a 3.8-litre V8 engine. The second-generation Land Rover Discovery debuted in 1999, this time with a stronger chassis and an added third row of seating. Where the second generation was an evolution of the first, the third generation was all-new, dropping the Discovery name to become the Land Rover LR3. Powered by a 4.4-litre V8, the LR3 featured a host of new off-road technology, such as terrain selection settings and hill descent control.
Return to Discovery
The fourth generation was known as the LR4. This facelifted version of the LR3 was powered by a 5.0-litre V8 and featured improvements to the off-road systems, paired with new suspension and brakes to help on-road handling. The V8 was replaced with a supercharged V6 in 2014âbefore the fifth generation arrived in 2017 with an all-new aluminum construction, saving 1,000 lbs. of weight. Known as the Land Rover Discovery once again, the fifth generation was given smoother, more aerodynamic styling.
