Product Overview

Land Rover Discovery 3 (chassis code L319) is a mid-size SUV in production from 2004 to 2009. It was available with a range of V6 and V8 engines that displaced 2.7 to 4.4 liters.
Designed as a more affordable alternative to the Range Rover, the Discovery 3 has manual option with the diesel engine. This combo makes a lot more sense for an offroad vehicle. To this end, Land Rover also gave the Discovery 3 a rather utilitarian yet classic exterior styling; the car's interior is well finished.
Part of why the Discovery 3 was loved by many suburban dwellers is the fact that it uses double-wishbone suspensions all around, giving the SUV a level of refinement that was rare in its price point at the time that it was sold.
