2021 Land Rover Discovery R-Dynamic Review: Off Road Luxury

- When deciding between something rugged and luxurious, you’re stuck with deciding one or the other. That’s where the 2021 Land Rover Discovery comes in and offers both.
Our loaner Land Rover Discovery was optioned with the Lantau Bronze which gave it a very classic look. You’ll also want to add the black roof option to help the bronze stand out even more. The premium LED headlights option adds adaptive lighting to help direct the light to where you're turning.
The air suspension starts low for easy entry and then raises up to tackle some tough terrain. In between, it absorbs any road imperfections like no other vehicle I’ve driven. It is extremely dialed in and doesn’t translate to the cabin for an incredibly smooth ride. The 21” wheel design adds the luxury touch with tall tires to handle the more rugged terrain.
Inside you’ll immediately see it's all about luxury. The 18-way adjustable seats makes it easy to find your driving sweet spot. The added heated option was a nice touch but I would definitely add the vented option for those hot Texas summers. The additional captain’s chair armrest was a huge surprise that made long drives really easy to get comfortable.
Under the hood, the 3.0L Inline-6 turbo engine produces 355 horsepower. Even with a mild hybrid system, the power delivery didn’t feel significant but was very linear. Off-roading low end power was plenty but did feel like it suffered at mid to high RPMs for highway passing.
We loved what Land Rover did with this 2021 Discovery. It has off road touches from the Defender, mixed with luxury from the Range Rover line. We definitely want this in our driveway.
It didn’t have wireless apple car play, but it does now. A recent over the air update to the infotainment system added this capability.
Thank you! Now I love it even more.
The king of SUV’s 🔥🔥🔥
I loved driving this thing!
I’ve got my eyes on a 23 model and that Bronze does look incredible!
Do it! It’s such a unique looking color and everyone was intrigued by it.
@@Revmatchmedia Placed an order today for 2024 model in Lantau Bronze with very similar spec. Can’t wait!
@@austinspitler32 Congrats! You're going to love that color!
@@Revmatchmedia I think you’re right! Really appreciate you taking the time to film and share this review! 🙏
Anyone know why the AJ300 in this model makes 355hp versus the 400hp it makes in the Defender?
No clue why but I definitely felt the difference.
@@Revmatchmedia thanks. I have to think it's just ecu tuning. Seems like they went for more fuel econ in the Discovery.
I’m sure it is. With it being bigger and more “civilized”, it’s an easier sell to consumers. Honestly, either one has been some of my favorite SUVs I’ve reviewed.
