The R-Dynamic add, two-tone leather front seats, aluminum and meter exterior and an upgraded headlining. The base 2021 Land Rover Discovery S is equipped with 20-inch wheels, LED head and taillights, keyless entry and push-button start, panoramic roof, 12.3-inch digital instrument panel and 11.4-inch infotainment display, 14-way power leather seats and steering wheel, power folding rear seats, eight-speaker audio and more.

Behind the third row is dinky 9.1 cubic feet of cargo space, and with the third-row seats folded flat, the midsize SUV offers 45 cubic-feet to store equipment and luggage. The 2021 Discovery no longer has a five-seat option and is available only with seven-seat configuration that benefits from longer and more supportive cushions in the second row.

Other standard driver assistance tech includes forward collision alert with automatic emergency braking, blind spot warning, lane-keeping assistance, rear cross-traffic warning, door exit warning, driver monitoring and more, and adaptive cruise control, automatic high beams and head-up display are optional upgrades. It’s quiet, but it feels more like an old-school SUV than a crossover. Though capable on the trail, the Discovery feels big and truck-like on pavement. Known for its off-road capabilities, each Discovery is outfitted with adaptive dynamic suspension, Terrain Response and a new Wade Sensing mode that detects the depth when the vehicle is traversing water up to 35.4 inches. All models use an eight-speed automatic transmission, include trailer stability assistance and are equipped with four-wheel-drive. The top-of-the-line HSE R-Dynamic variant is found only with the mild hybrid engine. This bigger unit is capable of towing up to 8,200 pounds, behind only to the Dodge Durango and Land Rover’s own Defender among midsize SUVs. The newly introduced mid-range S R-Dynamic model uses the same engine and is optionally available with a 3.0-liter six-cylinder mild hybrid turbocharged engine with 355 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque. For a four-cylinder there’s plenty of brawn, and can tow up to 6,613 pounds.

The base Discovery S is equipped with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbocharged engine generating 296-horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. The refreshed Discovery is offered with three optimized trims-S, R-Dynamic S and R-Dynamic HSE-and two new engine options. It’s very different in feel and mission, however. Land Rover refers to the Discovery as a full-size SUV, and while big by European standards the Disco is actually about the same size as a Kia Telluride.

Where previous Discovery generations felt like a comfortable box on wheels, that role’s filled pretty well by the Defender now, leaving this car more free to brush shoulders with the Range Rover on luxury.Land Rover’s midsize Discovery SUV gets a major refresh for 2021, though most of the new pieces lie beneath the surface.

The Discovery does feel different, though – more luxurious, with its fully-trimmed interior, and subtler in style. We gave the Defender 5 stars in our review, after all. You might, and you’d be well within your rights to. Okay – so why wouldn’t I just buy a Defender?

It’s pillowy soft without wallowing, and just irons out imperfections as if they weren’t there – even on the massive alloys of our test car. Handling is tidy, albeit not quite as agile as the Defender, but it’s comfort where this car excels. Both engines are paired to the same eight-speed auto that does a nice job of slurring changes together, and keeps the revs to a minimum at motorway speeds – it’s only really wind noise you’ll need to contend with at a cruise.

The diesel makes far more sense, though, with that useful slug of low-end torque and a more relaxed demeanour at town speeds.
