Space remains generous in the Discovery's front two rows, but the third row is still tight for adults, and there's little cargo room in the way back when the rearmost row is occupied. Additional changes include the fitment of a new shift lever in place of the old rotary selector knob, touch-sensitive buttons for climate control, a redesigned steering wheel, and a standard digital instrument cluster. The system is more intuitive and responsive than the previous InCommand Touch system.

Inside, the Discovery's cabin gains JLR's slick new Pivi Pro infotainment system, which includes an 11.4-inch touchscreen, as well as an onboard Wi-Fi hotspot, over-the-air updates, and support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
The Discovery's priorities are made clear by its Terrain Response system of drive modes, which features one setting for road use and five for different types of off-road terrain. As before, the combination of minimal steering feel, noticeable body roll, and sizeable dimensions conspire to discourage spirited driving. The softly tuned chassis possesses little of the athleticism of Land Rover's more driver-focused models.
But this won't be confused with a sporty performance SUV. Land Rover makes air springs standard on the Discovery, as they bring both a smooth, stately ride over every grade of asphalt and an adjustable ride height for off-road use. While it takes a heavy right foot-or a prod of one of the shift paddles on the Disco's steering wheel-for the eight-speed to commit to lower gears, we expect an all-out run to 60 mph will take a few ticks more than six seconds. The standard eight-speed automatic transmission shifts intelligently to keep the engine pulling strong and in the heart of its powerband. At everyday speeds, the 3.0-liter six is subdued in character yet makes impressively light work of motivating the Discovery's 5500-plus pounds, thanks in part to its 369 pound-feet of torque being available from 1750 to 5000 rpm. The P360's six-cylinder is a detuned version of the engine used in the Jaguar F-Pace P400e. The P360 R-Dynamic S that we sampled starts at $63,250. Base prices range from $55,250 for the S to more than $70,250 for the HSE. A 355-hp turbo 3.0-liter inline-six that also features a 48-volt hybrid system is optional on the P360 R-Dynamic S and standard with the top-spec HSE trim. The base powertrain is now Jaguar/Land Rover's 295-hp turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four, which is standard on the entry-level P300 S and R-Dynamic S models. Both of the previous gas and diesel V-6 engines have been dropped. More substantive changes lie under the Disco's hood.
The latest version, on the other hand, still resembles a Ford Explorer from certain angle the unique offset rear license-plate mount remains its the most visually interesting detail. The overall effect still falls short of the upright ruggedness of the original Discovery and its LR3/ LR4 successors-old-school SUVs that made every trip to the mall feel like a Camel Trophy competition. The Discovery's mid-cycle facelift does little to enhance its rather sleepy design, despite it gaining new LED headlights, a revised front grille, and on the new R-Dynamic trim we drove, gloss-black exterior details.
