2022 Land Rover Discovery Review

- Smooth on-road driving manners
- Above-average capabilities off-road
- Luxurious interior with excellent materials
- Strong towing capacity
- Some controls are distracting to use while driving
- Bus-like seating position won't be to everyone's liking
- Tight rear legroom in the second and third rows
- Ponderous handling around tight turns
- No changes to the 2022 Discovery
- Part of the fifth Discovery generation introduced for 2017
The 2022 Land Rover Discovery offers a unique blend of luxurious interior appointments, comfortable everyday road manners and genuine off-road capability in a midsize three-row SUV package. That third row positions the Discovery as the family option in Land Rover's lineup, sitting above the more rugged Defender and below the extra-luxurious Range Rover.
The big changes for the Discovery arrived with its refresh for 2021, with revised exterior styling, a new infotainment system with a larger touchscreen, redesigned second-row seats, and new drivetrain choices among the highlights. As such, the 2022 Land Rover Discovery soldiers on virtually unchanged. Overall the Discovery is a competitive pick for a midsize luxury SUV amongst rivals such as the Audi Q7, BMW X5, Genesis GV80, Mercedes-Benz GLE and Volvo XC90. Check out our test team's Expert Rating below to learn more about where it shines and where it comes up short.
What's it like to live with?
We spent a year and 20,000 miles with a 2017 Land Rover Discovery to learn everything we could about the venerable SUV's first real overhaul in more than a decade. Our long-term road test still holds up if you're in the market for a 2022 Discovery, so check out our test to find out what works — and what doesn't — on the midsize SUV.
Performance
Numerous aspects compound to make the Discovery feel bigger than it is, starting with the ponderous handling. The center of gravity feels quite high, so the Disco leans noticeably when you drive through tight turns.
You do get plenty of off-road capability with the Discovery, though. It has a maximum ground clearance of 11.1 inches, which is quite high for a three-row SUV, plus multiple traction modes and an available two-speed transfer case to help you make your way over rocks and ruts.

Interior
But ... there are a lot of buts. Land Rover really needs to hire some people from Toyota and Honda for the next Discovery in hopes of coming up with better controls and ergonomics. Here's our list: 1) The haptic touch climate panel requires too much of your attention to use while driving; 2) The armrest snaps shut with the speed of a guillotine; 3) It's shockingly difficult to operate the upper glovebox; 4) There's also no quick release for moving the second row forward, so third-row passengers are almost entirely dependent on someone else to help them exit; 5) The driver's seat sits up way too high, giving the Discovery an almost bus-like driving position; 6) The second and third rows don't have enough legroom for a vehicle in this class; and 7) the large rear headrests are huge obstructions for looking out the back of the vehicle.
Technology
Storage
If you plan on towing, know that the Discovery's limits are higher than most other midsize three-row luxury SUVs. Properly equipped, it's rated to tow up to 8,200 pounds.
Fuel Economy
Value
Land Rover's warranty coverage is unremarkable, with bumper-to-bumper and powertrain coverage lasting for four years/50,000 miles. The same goes for roadside assistance. Many rivals are more generous. Land Rover also does not offer complimentary maintenance.

Land Rover Discovery vs. the competition

2022 Land Rover Discovery

2022 Audi Q7
Land Rover Discovery vs. Audi Q7
The Audi Q7's base engine packs significantly less power than the Discovery's turbocharged 2.0-liter, but the optional turbocharged V6 is a hard charger and one of the best performers in its class. Both cars have tight third rows, but the Discovery has the upper hand when it comes to cargo room with 74.3 cubic feet available once all rows are folded.
Land Rover Discovery vs. Volvo XC90
Both the Discovery and the XC90 offer a pleasant ride on paved roads, but as you might expect, the Land Rover is the better off-roader. The base XC90 is front-wheel-drive, but AWD is an option. At the top of the range is an AWD plug-in hybrid variant that delivers impressive acceleration and good fuel economy for a three-row SUV. Speaking of third rows, the XC90's is slightly more cramped than the Discovery's, with 1.6-inch less legroom.
Land Rover Discovery vs. Genesis GV80
The Genesis GV80 has the advantage of being brand spanking new after making its debut for 2021. Its 300-hp turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder base engine is on par with the Discovery's turbo-four, but it gets better fuel economy. Both vehicles feature premium interiors loaded with tech, but the GV80 has the more impressive central touchscreen with its wide 14.5-inch layout. The GV80 comes standard with rear-wheel drive, with AWD an option.

Should I lease or buy a 2022 Land Rover Discovery?
Is it better to lease or buy a car? Ask most people and they'll probably tell you that car buying is the way to go. And from a financial perspective, it's true, provided you're willing to make higher monthly payments, pay off the loan in full and keep the car for a few years. Leasing, on the other hand, can be a less expensive option on a month-to-month basis. It's also good if you're someone who likes to drive a new car every three years or so.
