Land Rover Discovery for Sale in Kenya - 2021 Model
2021 Rover Discovery is Suitable for All Terrains

Discovery is a superb vehicle, yet it isn’t without competition. Its closest rival is from its family, namely the Land Rover Discovery Sport

Discovery Sport has refined off-roading capabilities and an upscale cabin with plenty of features. However, its rear seat and boot are cramped and commands less power on the road.

The BMW X5 is another competitor that has a nice interior, good on-roading handling, and slightly lower fuel consumption. 

Even so, the X5 is an urban SUV that’s not built for off-road use. It excels on city roads and highways but might prove a headache if you venture far from beaten paths.

Key Benefits of Land Rover Discovery 

Our focus here is solely on two models – the Land Rover Discovery L462 and the Land Rover Discovery 4/LR4. 

These models are trendy in the Kenyan market.

Land Rover Discovery L462

The Land Rover L462 has the kind of curves and soft contours that make it look more like a luxury car than an off-road beast. 

Just don’t let that fool you. 

It can handle extreme driving pressure providing unrivaled dynamic capability on all-weather and all-surface roads.  

Newer models feature the Terrain Response 2 System that monitors driving conditions and automatically selects the best driving mode for them.

These modes include general driving, grass, sand mud and ruts, gravel, and rock crawl.

Thanks to the air suspension that provides excellent wheel articulation, the car feels sure-footed, and drives are composed.

Acceleration is swift, with the car sprinting from zero to 100km/h in under 8.2 seconds.

It’s slightly slower (I mean tiny) than the Mercedes G Wagon, but it’s still a roadmaster.

Every section within the cabin is a carefully thought-out work of art.

Sumptuous leathers, wood, and metal finishes interweave seamlessly throughout the interior. All seven seats are well padded, comfortable, and provide enough room for seven adults to sit comfortably.

The first, second, and third-row seating are stadium-style, ensuring the occupants have an unobstructed view of the road ahead.

The middle seat on the second row can be folded for extra relaxation or need some space for working while being chauffeured.

Some models come with heat-resistant panoramic roofs that give the entire cabin a roomier feel and more natural light.

The Head-up Display is an optional feature that presents data such as vehicle speed, navigation directions, and gear position on the windscreen.

This data ensures the driver is aware of key information without taking their eyes off the road.

The vehicles are fitted with 8 – 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment systems that help connect occupants to the outside world

Depending on the model you choose, you can have access to the automatic access height feature.

With this feature, the car lowers itself as you exit or enter the car, ensuring you don’t lose your poise.

The can height resumes to normal as you drive. Awesome right.

The Land Rover L462 is available in four trims – S, SE, HSE, and HSE Luxury. Shared features include:

  • Number of Seats: 7
  • Drive Type: All Wheel Drive (AWD)
  • Maximum Power: 254HP (Diesel), 335HP (Petrol)

Land Rover Discovery 4/LR4

The Land Rover 4/LR4 is one of the few SUVs in the world that have resisted any attempts to turn it into a curvaceous vehicle.

Unlike the L462, this SUV stands defiantly upright with a well-proportioned boxy look.

This is the body style that most Kenyans associate with the Land Rover Discovery lineup.

Looks aside, the LR4 is in its element on city roads and highways and harsh terrain.

If you love venturing outside the city for adventurous rides around the country, the 4/LR4 is a challenging and capable companion.

It comes with a supercharged engine and plenty of horsepower for smooth acceleration from 0 -100km/h in roughly 7.5 seconds.

Further, Terrain Response, adjustable air suspension, high ground clearance, and wading depth ensures the SUV can tackle challenging terrains.

You can wade through shallow rivers, climb hills, trek through jungles, or drive through sandy spots without blinking an eye.

The interior is laden with modern and luxurious amenities for comfortable riding or driving.

It balances soft-touch materials, woods, and leathers which feel clean, practical, and lush.

Seating configuration is available in a five-seater or seven-seater configuration. 

The seats are upright, comfortable, and stadium-style giving all occupants unspoiled views.

For the driver, sitting erect offers a good driving position and a clear view of the road ahead, which is particularly useful during challenging off-road journeys.

The third row, if installed, may feel a little cramped for adults, but it’s perfect for small children.

Typical of modern SUVs, the Land Rover LR4 has a current infotainment system that keeps occupants relaxed, comfortable, and entertained.

The Discovery LR4 is available in three trims – standard, HSE, and HSE LUX

Land Rover Discovery for Sale in Nairobi Kenya – AWD 

Full-time all-wheel-drive is standard across all Land Rover Discovery SUVs. It’s useful for those who love challenging off-road driving.

The AWD system works hand in hand with Land Rover’s Terrain Response system for optimal performance. This system allows you to choose general, grass, gravel, sand, or mud/ruts to suit the surface you’re driving on. Newer models have Rock crawl surface settings.

The Land Rover L462 has an All-Terrain Progress Control (ATPC) feature that helps drivers maintain a steady speed while driving through challenging conditions.

ATPC works seamlessly with the Terrain Response system, the all-wheel-drive traction, and braking systems.

It functions at slow speeds of between 2kph – 30kph allowing the driver to concentrate on finding a suitable path and steering. ‘

Land Rover Discovery for Sale in Kenya – Fuel Consumption

Both Land Rover 4/LR4 and Land Rover L462 use either premium unleaded petrol engines or diesel engines. 

The SUVs consume Fuel Consumption: 7.2 – 10.9L/KM

Considering engine potency and horsepower produced, we can only say that “with plenty of power comes fuel thirst.”

The Toyota Fortuner has better fuel consumption, but it doesn’t offer the same on-road prowess.

Land Rover Discovery Review in Kenya – Engine Capacity

The Discovery SUVs are powered by 3.0-liter 2993 – 2995 cc V6 engines that can handle any road surface you can throw at them.

Most drivers say this is not a car that you drive; instead, you guide it, and it does everything else. Rides around the city are smooth, but if you want to feel its power, you have to hit the highway. 

Expect quiet cruises with minimal engine noise reaching the cabin.

Land Rover Discovery Interior Review 

Climbing aboard the Discovery and the first thing that hits you is how roomy and opulent it feels. 

The manufacturers did not hold back from perfect stitching to high-end finishes in leathers, wood, and metal.

Excellent build quality keeps outside noises where they belong – outside. 

Whether you’re cruising on the highway, rounding corners, or navigating hilly roads, the interior is tranquil.

Some of the salient features you’ll find here include

Comfort and Legroom

Land Rover L462 easily accommodates seven adults. They will enjoy plenty of head and legroom to stay comfortable even on long trips.

The Land Rover Discovery 4 for sale in Kenya, on the other hand, can handle five to seven passengers. 

Front and second-row occupants have lots of head and legroom, but adults sitting on the third-row may feel a little cramped. 

In both models, the full-size seats offer support for the shoulders, hips, and back while giving you a clear view of the road.

Child Seat

Despite being a beast on the road, the Discovery makes space for family drives. 

The Land Rover L462 has latch connectors on the first-row passenger seat and the second and third-row seats.

If you’re ferrying young children, you can secure their car seats or booster seats on every seat except the driver’s seat.

Land Rover LR4 provides latch connectors on its outboard second and third-row seats. 

The space on each seat is sufficient for hooking up a baby seat without hurting the person sitting on the next seat.

Boot Space 

Many SUVs in this category have painfully limited space that makes road-tripping or carrying goods a hassle.

Discovery offers some of the largest cargo spaces there are. You can stack seven or more full-size suitcases and still have room for more goods. 

The third-row seats can be folded to make space for bulkier items. If that’s not enough, you can go ahead and fold the second-row seats as well.

Discovery Exterior Review

As far as looks go, these two models are nothing alike.

The Discovery L462 pulls off a modern look with its curvaceous exterior with soft contours, stepped roofline, and 20-22-inch wheels.

In contrast, the Land Rover LR4 sports a more traditional look thanks to its upright boxy shape, sharp angles, and 19-20-inch wheels.

There many colors to choose from including white, black, orange, gold, grey, and silver.

Land Rover Discovery Reviews – What Past Buyers Are Saying

Overall, we think the Land Rover Discovery is a tricky car with exceptional capability and comfort. 

But don’t just take our word for it. Here is what our past buyers are saying about this car

Ronnie

“I switched from a sports car to the Discovery L462. Wow! This car has exceeded my expectations. The cabin is high-quality and a nice place to hang out in. The car is quiet, performance is good, and I get an excellent view all around.”

Mwinzila

“I bought my Disco 4 through BestCarsforSaleinKenya.co.ke and love it so far. Visibility is awesome, transmission smooth, zero road-noise, acceleration adequate, and rides are super comfortable. I use my car every single day.”

Josiah

“This machine hauls the wife and our two kids. I especially love the boot space because we can comfortably store all our luggage anytime we get away from the city. My kids enjoy hanging out in the back and even manage to nap peacefully. The car looks and feels tough. We’ve done some off-roading and look forward to more adventures soon.”

Fuad

“I bought this car because I could stand the sound of my other car on sand. It made my skin crawl. Literally, with this car, I can drive anywhere without worrying about sandy surfaces. I also bought it because I love the modern look with all the glass and stepped roof. Interior is to die for. Everything feels modern and luxurious.”

Marco

“My wife couldn’t stop talking about this car, so I ended up buying it. Now we fight over who will drive it. Haha. Awesome car, awesome interior, excellent handling, and great visibility. So far, we’ve done the Tsavo and Mara, and I’m planning on tackling some riskier roads. Assuming my wife doesn’t read this, of course.”

Common Questions We Get About the Discovery

With all the buzz this car creates, here are some of the questions we receive from potential buyers:

Is the Land Rover LR4 a Good Car?

Yes, the LR4 is a good car. It’s sturdy and boasts a high-quality build that’s comfortable for everyday use. 

It offers lots of storage space within the cabin and in the boot. Plus, it provides plenty of safety features.

What is the Difference Between Discovery L462 and Discovery 4/LR4? 

The main differences are in their styling and horsepower. 

The L462 is all curvy and modern looking, while the 4/LR4 feels traditional and authentic with its upright, boxy shape.

Further, the L462 engine delivers 340 horsepower while the 4/LR4 engine outputs 254 – 340 horsepower. L462 is the fastest of the two models.

Which Is Better: Discovery LR4 or Lexus GX?

The Lexus GX has a decent off-roading ability, an easy-to-use infotainment system, and a high-reliability rating.

However, its cabin materials aren’t as luxurious as the LR4, second and third-row seats aren’t spacious, while handling isn’t comfortable. The LR4 is the better SUV.

How Deep Can the Discovery Go in Water?

Officially it can handle 20 – 30 inches of water and works best with steadily flowing water. Some models have a wade sensing feature that detects immediate levels of water around the car.

However, it can’t detect the level of water that is further away, water that slopes quickly, or whose levels change rapidly.

Wading through floodwaters is exceedingly dangerous and shouldn’t be attempted even by expert drivers.

Should I Buy a Used Land Rover Discovery?

Land Rover Discovery are durable cars built for on-road and off-road use. A used Discovery still offers good value for money, primarily if it has been maintained well. 

Our team can help you identify local and foreign-used Discovery SUVs that are in excellent condition.

How Many Years Can the Discovery Last? 

With proper maintenance, the Discovery can last over 30 years of use which is pretty solid. 

In today’s ever-changing market, manufacturers are constantly updating vehicles, so during your 30-year span, newer models with newer features will come to be. 

If you don’t mind missing out on these, your Discovery will happily continue to serve you. 

How Safe is the Rover Discovery?

The Discovery is a safe SUV that’s equipped with several features, including driver-assist kits. It passed the safety tests carried out by EuroNCAP (European New Car Assessment Programme). 

Euro NCAP is a car safety performance assessment program based in Belgium.

What is the Resale Value of the Discovery?

The Discovery retains 69 – 72% of its value after the first three years. In the Kenyan market, well-maintained Discovery SUVs attract good resale value. 

Should you choose to dispose of your car or trade it in, you’ll get a good deal.

Where is the Discovery Manufactured?

The Discovery is primarily manufactured in England. Over the years, demand for this SUV grew tremendously, which saw the company expand into other countries. 

The  Rover Discovery is also manufactured at the Nitra Plant in Slovakia. 

How Much Mileage is Too High for a Used Discovery?

Anything below 150,000 KM counts as good mileage unless you’re going for a certified pre-owned Land Rover Discovery.  Yet, mileage is not the only thing to look for. 

You’ll want to look at the vehicle’s frame and body integrity, and age. We can help you identify a good used car that will last you a long time.
