Super TestCar reviews - Land Rover - Discovery - TD5 5-dr wagonLand Rover modelsOverviewMore of a makeover than an all-new design, the '99 Disco is still a big improvement29 Mar 2001 By P TIBBLES LAND Rover's Discovery still rates as the 4WD most contenders would like to equal in terms of overall ability. In its latest guise, it looks the same although most of the panels are new, and gets an even more impressive suspension system that rates it among the best on-road performers as well as a virtually peerless off-roader. It is also longer, allowing a proper third-row seat installation. And there's an impressive all-new five-cylinder turbo-diesel.

A four-door followed six months later. The economical four-cylinder turbo-diesel four-door came in March 1992 and the cheaper two-door version arrived a year later. No powerhouse with just 2.5 litres, the Tdi at least offered strong torque. |
