CarExpert's Take
Paul Maric
Founder
Paul Maric drove this car and these were their findings:
Hits
- Punchy six-cylinder engine, fun to drive
- Enough room to sit comfortably in all three rows
- Capable off the beaten track
Misses
- Can be thirsty despite the mild-hybrid drivetrain
- The design departure from Discovery of old may not appeal to some
- A number of options that you may need to wade through before purchasing
