Read the Honest John Review

  • Land Rover Discovery (2017 on)
    Exceptional comfort and practicality makes this the best family SUV around, all rear seats fold down electrically, 2.0-litre SD4 diesel engine works surprisingly well.
  • Land Rover Discovery 4 (2009 - 2017)
    Imperious on and off-road, hugely practical, more desirable than the current Discovery, refined and high-quality interior.
