5 reasons to buy the 2019 Land Rover Discovery
1. Ready to off-road
If you're the type who likes to pack up for weekend camping trips and splash through muddy trails, you probably know Land Rovers are celebrated for their off-road capabilities. The 2019 Land Rover Discovery is no different. The 2019 Discovery comes standard with a 340-hp supercharged 3L V6 engine, which produces 332 lb-ft of torque. Or, you can opt for the available 254-hp 3L V6 turbodiesel that produces 443 lb-ft of torque. That power, combined with the standard four-wheel drive and off-road features including a Terrain Response Traction System and low-speed emergency braking, will leave you ready to hit even the most challenging trails.
2. Luxury touches
Although it's ready for the backcountry, the 2019 Land Rover Discovery is equally at home in the city for school drop-off or for taking your friends for a game of golf. All 2019 Discoveries come standard with leather seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, a panoramic sunroof, rain-sensing windshield wipers, and more. The HSE Luxury trim is a great choice for anyone looking for even more creature comforts, like massaging front seats. If you're in a cold climate, you'll appreciate that a heated steering wheel and front and rear heated seats are standard on this trim.
3. Smartphone integration and plenty of charging
Love having your music at the touch of your fingers? The 2019 Discovery comes with available Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration. You'll also have access to Bluetooth® connectivity and lots of USB ports, with up to nine charging stations spread throughout the interior cabin.
4. Standard driver assist features
If you're someone who loves having the latest technology on your side, you'll be relieved to know that the 2019 Land Rover Discovery comes with a host of standard driver-assist features. Forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking and low-speed emergency braking, driver attention monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and lane-keep assist are included on every 2019 Discovery. As a bonus, you also get automatic high-beam headlights and rain-sensing windshield wipers.
5. Plenty of space
Whether you're loading the kids up for a soccer game or your sailing gear to head to the yacht club, the 2019 Discovery has plenty of space. An available third row means the Discovery can seat up to seven, including adults or teens in the generous third row. When sticking with the standard five-passenger configuration, you'll have 34.6 cu-ft of cargo space to pack everything you need.
