Service and parts costs are expensive and V8 models thirsty so the frugal choice is the refined Td5 diesel. Insurance is above average, but depreciation is kept to a minimum, thanks to the Land Rover badge.

Discovery is a polluting model. With an average of 297 g/km CO2 across the line-up, its emissions are high for a large 4×4. However, it’s worth noting that the line up has a high number of diesel models, bringing the average down and giving buyers more choices of low-emission versions. Diesels typically produce less CO2 than petrol engines with similar power outputs.

The range is quite thirsty, averaging 26 mpg.

Previously noted for niggling faults it now enjoys better reliability thanks to advanced electronics but there are still reports of minor problems.
