CarAdvice 2010 Discovery 4 – Review and Test Drive
By Anthony Crawford
"Figures aside, driving the new Discover 4 3.0 diesel is an experience. The extra power and torque can easily be felt at any rev range with near instantaneous throttle response. The 3.0 TDV6 powered Disco 4 can easily take five adults around the city or off-road with little to no effort."
"The Discovery feels no different to yesterday’s adventures in the Range Rover Supercharged. It doesn’t seem to matter what they dish up in this off-road minefield, we might as well be driving down George Street in Sydney, as its no more challenging to these vehicles."
"But it’s the overall quietness and ride quality of the new Discovery 4, that impresses me most; this is more like a Range Rover than what we have previously been accustomed to in the Disco range, and it only gets better."
"I’m not saying the Disco 3 was in any way agricultural from inside the cabin, in fact, I always felt like I had a few dollars when driving one, but this new fit out, is simply without peer for a luxury vehicle, which has so far proven to be unstoppable."
