Used Land Rover Discovery 3 FAQ's

Which is the most popular engine in the Land Rover Discovery 3?

Overwhelmingly, the 2.7-litre turbodiesel engine that makes 188bhp is the most popular with customers. It offers a 0-60mph time of 11 seconds, and has a reasonable fuel efficiency rating of around 30mpg, so it costs a lot less to run than the petrol.

Which are the most popular model variants?

Land Rover offered the Discovery 3 in several model variants, including S, GS, XS, SE and HSE. Many customers prefer the budget aspect of the base Discovery 3 and the S, but the SE and HSE provide more features, offering better value overall.

What optional extras should I look out for?

Customers should look out for the desirable panoramic sunroof, while the heated seats are valuable when driving in cooler months. There are also upgraded wheel designs for a unique look and Bluetooth connectivity.

Is the Land Rover Discovery 3 a good family car?

With the ability to hold either five or seven people, the Discovery 3 is a great option for families. It features supportive seating, a decent-sized boot and plenty of technology upgrades. It can also tackle some off-road terrain, so it's possible to have an adventure at the same time.

Is there a hybrid version of the Land Rover Discovery 3?

During the years of Discovery 3 production (2004-2009), Land Rover didn't make a hybrid model. However, newer Discovery models do have mild hybrid technology, making them more efficient and cleaner.

Is the Land Rover Discovery 3 available as an automatic?

There's the option of an automatic or a manual gearbox with the Discovery 3 lineup. However, the manual transmission is difficult to find, meaning that most used models are automatic.

Are all Land Rover Discovery 3 models four-wheel drive?

Because Land Rover designed the Discovery 3 with off-roading in mind, all models were equipped with four-wheel drive as standard. This added capability offers more traction and can provide better control when the terrain is slippery.
