Land Rover Discovery S 2017 review: snapshot

2017 Land Rover Discovery (HSE spec shown).
EXPERT RATING

The S marks the entry point to the Land Rover Discovery range, and can be had with five or seven seats, and with any of the three available engines.

The S marks the entry point to the Land Rover Discovery range, and can be had with five or seven seats, and with any of the three available engines.

No matter which you pick, you’ll be driving all four wheels via a smooth, eight-speed automatic.

With pricing stretching from $65,960 to $84,671, depending on the engine, you might expect a more comprehensively equipped offering, but the S is fairly pared back, with 19-inch alloys, cloth seats, a leather-wrapped wheel with paddle-shifters and two-zone manual climate control the highlights of the standard features list. 

Safety is a strong suit, though, with AEB and Lane Departure Warning joining six airbags and a host of traction and braking aids to help secure a maximum five-star ANCAP safety rating.
