1994 Land Rover Discovery Review
Price Estimate: $4,857 - $7,838
Edmunds' Expert Review
by the Edmunds Experts
What’s new
Riding a short 100-inch wheelbase, the new Discovery is still able to seat up to seven if the optional rear jump seats are ordered. A raised roof over the rear compartment and a boxy, upright body with tall windows make the Discovery unmistakably Land Rover. The workhorse 3.9-liter V8 of 1960s GM origins sends its 182 horses to the permanent 4WD system through a choice of either a manual or automatic gearbox. Dual airbags and antilock brakes are standard on the Discovery.

1994 Land Rover Discovery 4dr SUV AWD
The first car I ever owned. I drove it everywhere, snow, mud, dirt and on road, it handled all of it with class. the maintance fees are steep buts its well worth it to have a reliable vechile that can do it all, I have every intention of buying from land rover again, before they were made by ford. After a roll over accident, it was tipped back over and driven home. Great vechile. I … recommend being ready for some pricey maintance and sometimes insurance.
Excellent Car

This car was the car that I learned to
drive in. With its great visibility due
to all the mirrors and dependable
steering, I can't imagine driving
anything else. After eight years,
repairs are getting pricey, but I find
that an acceptable trade-off when I
think of the times that certain
features have saved my life (especially
the small blind spots and excellent …
brakes!).
Good SUV

104000 miles and going strong.
Absolutely no mechanical problems,
other than routine maintenance. Take
care of this workhouse and it will
never let you down. As the Land Rover
mechanics told me, this car
was "overbuilt". Buying new Subaru
Baja, but will keep the Disco for
serious weather!
