Land Rover Discovery D350 35th Anniversary edition driven for 2025.

Discovery D350 – It’s been a while since I’ve driven the Land Rover Discovery, and I recently drove the 35^th Anniversary model.     It was a great reminder of just how good the Discovery is.

The 35^th Anniversary model is based on the Dynamic SE with technology, styling, towing and comfort upgrades.

With the relaunch of the Defender, the Discovery seems to have been pushed to the background a touch. It has however morphed into a premium 4WD SUV.

I like the latest design, it’s sleek with smooth lines and purposeful.

Inside its luxury and comfort all the way. The front seats are particularly supportive, and heating was appreciated on cold mornings.

Driver ergonomics are excellent with the only grumble being the steering wheel control buttons are a bit cumbersome.

The Discovery is powered by an inline six cylinder turbo diesel engine. This provides a combination of both powerful performance and economy. This drives all four wheels through an eight speed AT.

The key to the Discovery’s appeal is just how smooth and responsive it is to drive. While its quiet and comfortable around town, it excels on the open road.

Very few manufacturers sort their suspension as compliant as Land Rover. It seems to just soak up all the bumps and road irregularities without fuss.

Pricing for the 35^th Anniversary Discovery is from $132,090 plus the usual costs. The vehicle we had also had the capability pack for more 4WD activities that added another $5000.

Overall if you are in the market for a premium family based SUV then the Discovery should definitely be on your list.
