2022 Land Rover Discovery R-Dynamic HSE

The Discovery is Land Rover's family-oriented SUV, the one you cross-shop with the Volvo XC90 and Audi Q7 if you want three rows and real off-road chops. On the road it feels composed and planted, with a calm, steady gait that suits long hauls, and the air suspension soaks up bumps without float. Inside, the cabin is genuinely spacious: the third row fits adults better than most rivals, and the seats are comfortable for a full day of driving. The split tailgate is a neat touch, and with the rear rows folded you get a flat, generous cargo floor that's easy to load. The R-Dynamic HSE adds the mild-hybrid 3.0L I6 over the R-Dynamic S's four-cylinder, plus upgraded leather and a Meridian sound system. Its 3.0L I6 hybrid makes 355 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque, routed through a eight-speed automatic to all-wheel drive, and returns 21 mpg combined. Only the HSE offers the available air suspension with adaptive dampers, which gives the Discovery a noticeably more settled ride over broken pavement.
