The shape, layout and spirit of the Mk3 wasn't broken, so they didn't fix it. The greatest compliment ever paid to it was the fact that the subsequent Mk4 was basically the same car with a comprehensive suite of upgrades. With lots of influence from the then-new Range Rover, it was classier, more stylish and far more technologically sophisticated than its predecessor. When the Mk3 Discovery arrived, it was a monumental step forward from the Mk2. All three of these German options are stylish, luxurious models, but their running costs could easily eclipse even those of the Land Rover and none can challenge the Discovery for ability in rough terrain. The same is true of the Audi Q7 and Mercedes GL, as well as seven-seat versions of the second-generation BMW X5.
The Volvo XC90 is a fantastic car, but is more road-biased and its third row of seats is rather on the cramped side.
So advanced was the Mk3 model, that it essentially stayed in production for 14 years, with a modest 2009 facelift resulting in the Discovery 4. When it was released it was seen as a massive leap forward in comparison to the fairly utilitarian Mk1 and Mk2 models. Granted, the most recent Land Rover Discovery is bigger, more economical and more opulent, but the 2004 to 2009 model is still extremely capable and oozes upmarket appeal despite its age. There are seven seats, so you can take everyone along for the ride, and because it’s a Land Rover you can quite honestly take them anywhere. Because of this, though, on the inside you’ll find one of the most spacious interiors of any SUV. The sheer size of the Land Rover Discovery is imposing too tall for most garages and too long for many parking spaces. A used Land Rover ‘Discovery 3’ makes a great buy produced from 2004 to 2009, it continued to blaze a trail for the model with improved refinement and upmarket status, There’s no doubting the Discovery’s legendary SUV 4x4 status. The Land Rover Discovery has been the go-to car for families in need of something big, practical and capable on all terrains since the end of the 1980s.
