The new Disco will be available in both a five-passenger short-wheelbase version, as well as a seven-passenger long-wheelbase model.

American Woman Road & Travel (2003)
Whatever has transpired this third-generation Discovery is more a pleasure on the highway than it ever was. And in keeping with Land Rover's intention to maintain its position as king of the off-road the 2003 Discovery is probably as adept at the muddy and miry, rough and rocky, steep and oozy, as it ever was.

Auto Week (2003)
While an all-new Discovery still sits a few years off, for 2003 Land Rover has given the vehicle a bigger engine, revised the suspension, made minor updates on the interior and given its front end a treatment similar to the newly redesigned Range Rover.

Informative review including: Road Test, Prices, Rebates & Incentives, Engines, Standard Equipment, Optional Equipment, Specifications, Warranty Info and more.

Edmunds (2003)
Not only does the SUV accelerate far quicker (Land Rover says it can do 0 to 60 mph in 9.5 seconds, versus 11.2 seconds for the outgoing model), but it also doesn't have to be driven as hard during normal acceleration.

Epinions (2003)
See what fellow owners of the 2003 Land Rover Discovery think of their vehicles -- the good and the bad.

Milwaukee Journal Sentinel (2003)
The fuel economy, at 12 miles to the gallon in the city and 16 highway, is dismal. The truth, however, is that most Discovery buyers don't care.

New Car Test Drive (2003)
Land Rover Discovery's suspension articulation, four-wheel-drive, and extensive off-road technology must be experienced in extreme conditions to be truly appreciated.

The Car Connection (2003)
In a thumbnail, the ’03 Disco gets the former Range Rover powertrain, new front-end styling and interior improvements.

Epinions (2002)
See what fellow owners of the 2002 Land Rover Discovery think of their vehicles -- the good and the bad.

New Car Test Drive (2002)
It is the authentic 4x4 that can venture deep into the backcountry. Its suspension articulation, permanent four-wheel-drive system, and off-road technology must be experienced in extreme conditions to be truly appreciated. It also comes with retailers committed to customer satisfaction.

Yahoo Autos (2002)
The 2002 Discovery is a 4-door, up to 7-passenger luxury sport-utility, available in two trims, the Series II SD and the Series II SE.

The Series II sports a cornucopia of leading-edge technology that makes it one of the most sophisticated SUVs on the road.

New Car Test Drive (2001)
In 2001, the Discovery line features new model designations and more optional equipment.

The Car Connection (2001)
The Discovery’s tall stance and boxy shape might look to be ingredients in a recipe for a rollover, but to the contrary, the Disco is stable.

Epinions (2000)
See what owners of the 2000 Land Rover Discovery have to say about their vehicle -- the good and the bad.

Milwaukee Journal Sentinel (2000)
It still has such amenities as dual-zone climate control, full-time four-wheel drive, automatic transmission, antilock brakes with traction control, remote locking, alloy wheels, power seats, windows and mirrors, and a six-speaker stereo with a cassette player.

New Car Test Drive (2000)
The Land Rover Discovery is the Swiss Army knife of sport-utility vehicles. While a lot of people buy Land Rovers for their panache, few vehicles can match their off-road capability.
