2023 Land Rover Discovery
Overview
In a nation where SUVs rule, the 2023 Land Rover Discovery aspires to be king. With its high-end luxury finishes, this edition of the Land Rover Discovery targets the most discerning of buyers. Improving on previous incarnations of the Discovery, the 2023 edition boasts an all-new infotainment design. Overall, the Discovery's luxurious feel and off-road capabilities make an impressive argument against the competition.
The Perfect Ride for...
Families who desire a combination of luxury and ruggedness. Land Rover has built a legacy of highly capable overlanding vehicles. The 2023 Discovery embraces that birthright but bundles it with upscale styling and finishes designed to impress. For families, the 2023 Discovery seats seven, meaning no one gets left behind on your next adventure.
Drive and Handling
All models come equipped with a full-time, all-wheel drive transmission as standard. Buyers are given the option of either a 296-hp turbocharged 2.0-liter, four-cylinder engine or upgrading to a 355-hp turbocharged 3.0 liter, inline six with a 48-volt hybrid system. Opting for the larger engine makes the Discovery agile enough for city driving, while effortlessly delivering enough power to take any anxiety out of merging and passing on the highway. Equipped with the 355-hp inline six, Discovery is capable of going from 0 to 60 mph in 6.3 seconds.
Drivers will be surprised at how well the Land Rover Discovery transitions from on-road to off-road performance. The plush yet responsive on-road handling delivers a smooth ride. Conversely, the Land Rover Discovery's off-road capability precedes itself, delivering outstanding traction, wade depth, and approach angles. Still, the quality of ride is excellent, as expected from a luxury vehicle. For weekend warriors, the 2023 Land Rover Discovery is rated to tow up to 8,200 pounds.
Key Features
Infotainment
Improvements to the Discovery's infotainment system and connectivity are one of the more notable improvements for 2023. Every Discovery comes equipped with Land Rover's Pivi Pro infotainment system as standard. Featuring a sizable 11.4-inch touchscreen display, the system offers luxury-level features like an onboard Wi-Fi hotspot, and real-time weather and traffic updates. The menu has been simplified and offers up to nine USB ports throughout the cabin. Thanks to available tablet-holding accessories, the kiddies can enjoy rear-seat entertainment. The system comes standard with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability, as well as a wireless smartphone charging pad, full-color head-up display, and 12.3-inch digital gauge display.
Safety Features
The 2023 Discovery comes with a handful of driver-assistance features as standard, but for owners wanting to take things a bit further, there's an optional advanced tech upgrade. Land Rover's unique 360-degree exterior camera system not only offers an extended viewing range, but with the added bonus of showing what's going on in the area under Discovery's front end. That could be a welcome feature for off-road enthusiasts. Overall, Discovery's primary safety features include standard adaptive cruise control, available land-keeping assist, and standard automated emergency braking featuring pedestrian detection.
