Used 2020 Land Rover Discovery S for sale 

Tremendous muscle power and rugged terrain capabilities make the 2020 Land Rover Discovery a fun to drive SUV. Available in 4 different trims and 7 different package options to choose from, there is one Rover SUV for every kind of buyer in the market. Prices range from $52,300 to $67,200, and features activate as you walk up the trim levels.

Which trim should you choose?

Discovery as a sport is native to humans. Adventure under the wheels, windscreen swapping scenery like a screen made of dreams, the 2020 Discovery is a go-anywhere SUV. Available in both diesel and gasoline engine variants, the new Land Rover Discovery outshines its competitors with tremendous possibilities. Out of two engine options and 4 different trim levels available, we recommend you to get the HSE trim with the diesel engine. It provides the best fuel economy while addressing you with numerous luxury features. Although the gasoline trim adds a lot to the towing capacity of the SUV, diesel is economical for long usage.

“Money can buy you a boat and a truck to pull it”, but in Discovery’s case, the truck or so-called SUV is actually a boat. Well, at least it feels like one when turning through corners. Available only in all-wheel-drive option, the 2020 Land Rover Discovery sports a 3-liter V-6 engine mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission which feels perfect, to say the least.

The diesel engine under the hood of the 2020 Land Rover Discovery makes 254 hp (horsepower) at 3750 rpm and makes 443 lbs./ft. of torque at 1500 rpm. The gasoline V6 version, on the other hand, makes 340 hp (horsepower) at 6500 rpm and 332 lbs./ft. of torque at 3500 rpm.

How fast is it?

Diesel-powered engines are proven to be less productive and more efficient. 2020 Discovery proves the theory which can be experienced with a short stint behind the wheel of both the gasoline and the diesel mills and how much they affect the cars overall personality.

The diesel-powered engine lacks the push but definitely provides a better fuel economy. The gasoline-powered mill, however, makes the Rover Discovery a perfect SUV for trailering and carrying heavy loads.

The diesel-powered 2020 Land Rover Discovery goes from 0-60 miles per hour in 7.7 seconds while the gasoline-powered V6 makes the SUV push 0 to 60 miles per hour in 6.9 seconds. Pretty darn good for an SUV of such humongous proportion and capabilities. MIrroring Discovery’s acceleration with competitors in the market, the MDX SUV from Acura holds the podium with 0-60 miles per hour acceleration in 14.6 seconds. It's interesting to see that the MDX actually produces less horsepower but has good acceleration while Rover Discovery can carry heavy loads, run like a cheetah and still makes good 0-60 figures.

How well does it Ride and Handle?

Like we mentioned, the 2020 Rover Discovery is a road-legal boat when it comes to driving. The SUV marks its presence on the road by its appearance but is definitely designed in its gut to take off-road challenges like a pro. Electronically managed adaptive suspension mechanism with 19.5-inch wheels keeps the SUV relevant on any sort of terrain while blaming its unpleasant road ride on the same mechanics which acts as a boon on off-roading scenarios. The steering feels somewhat planted on straight stretches, although, turns can be a nightmare, especially when you are carrying loads.

The Discovery's tall stance might be intimidating but it does not give it much in the name of stability be it on road at high speeds or in serious off-road scenarios. You can also get an optional air suspension which definitely adds to the ride quality of Rover Discovery.

What's the stopping power like?

Once you put that pedal to the metal, you will be gliding on the road with its upright ride figure but Rover disappoints because of its shabby dancing on the road. Brakes of the 2020 Land Rover Discovery are designed to hold the machine in place even when the surfaces are not so friendly.

The off-road capabilities of the SUV are multiplied multiple times due to this and prove effective every time. Pedals feel smooth and firm while nose dives are minimal and so are bumps and drops.

 The 4900 lbs SUV, Land Rover Discovery comes with 14.2-inch brakes in the front and 13.8 inches in the rear which makes it stop in under 135 ft. Not best in class, competitors such as Cadillac XT6 and MDX Acura perform well in this segment and stops under 125 ft.

If you are not “I want my car to go buy some bread and eggs” kind of a person, the diesel-powered version of the 2020 Land Rover Discovery suits you the most. Not generalizing at all, long trips take a lot out of your pocket too and diesel seems to a smart choice.

The diesel-powered engine of the Land Rover makes 21 miles per gallon in city conditions while it makes 26 miles per gallon on the freeway. This makes the combined fuel economy to come down to about 23 miles per gallon.

The gasoline-powered system of the Rover Discovery, on the other hand, makes 16 miles per gallon in the city and 21 miles per gallon on the freeway. Gasoline version Rover has a combined fuel economy of 18 miles per gallon. Competitors perform much better in this segment are again way ahead on the track.

Land Rovers in the late '80s became the benchmark in luxury SUVs with its Range Rover platform.

Land Rover Discovery VS 2020 Cadillac XT6

Rovers are iconic in their styling and so is the 2020 Discovery. Comparing it with the XT6 Cadillac, the Rover Discovery outshines with more power-producing engines in the same price figure. Rovers are an amazing mix of practicality and luxury while being a perfect SUV for off-road. Because of this, the Rover lacks a lot of driving dynamics for the road which makes the XT6 stand in the first place. If you are in for a luxury SUV with amazing power, Rover is a great fit. Although, if you are looking for an SUV built for comfort and great driving dynamics, go for the XT6.

Land Rover Discovery VS 2020 Acura MDX

Another competitor in the segment is the 2020 Acura MDX. Hosting a V6 engine, the MDX is priced similar to the Rover but produces less power than the Rover Discovery. Luxury being the center point of Rover’s portfolio, it is built for off-road while MDX is a strict road SUV.

Built for off-road, designed for the ramp, the 2020 Land Rover Discovery is a perfect marriage between off-road capability and plush interior styling. Priced perfectly for the kind of value it provides, the Rover SUV is literally the most equipped SUV in the segment.
