About the 2020 Land Rover Discovery

5th-generation Discovery (L462), fourth model year; last year before the 2021 refresh.

Land Rover positions the Discovery as its premium family SUV: a roomy, flexible vehicle for daily use, road trips, towing, and trips away from pavement. Its core appeal is that it does family-duty work like a luxury three-row SUV, but with more genuine trail ability than most rivals. Buyers choose it for upright visibility, configurable seating, a quiet upscale cabin, strong towing capability, and the confidence of full-time 4WD.

The 2020 Discovery is a premium family SUV with serious towing and off-road ability, offered with a supercharged gas V6 or a torque-rich diesel V6. The Landmark emphasizes seven-seat versatility and cold-weather comfort, while HSE adds features such as adaptive cruise control and a digital instrument display. HSE Luxury focuses on passenger comfort with heated front and rear seats, power-operated rear seating, and upgraded leather trim.

What changed, by category

Powertrain

The supercharged gas V6 and turbodiesel V6 carry over. The diesel models are organized as separately named SE Td6, HSE Td6, and HSE Luxury Td6 trims for 2020 rather than diesel versions under the gas-trim names.

Styling

The new Landmark special edition adds black exterior trim and a sport-styled body kit. Fog lights also become standard on HSE.

Safety

Blind-spot monitoring becomes standard on SE.

Tech

The Landmark adds built-in navigation and four-zone climate control. On SE, navigation changes from standard to optional equipment.

“Would love a place for women's handbag. Would love to have a booklet for every single thing the car can do that is written for a tech idiot. I still have issues with figuring out why my car makes ding ding alarm sound as I drive occasionally (and it's random. I've tried to figure out if it's during a certain thing is occurring) and I don't know how to make the driver control the temperature. Etc.”

“Landrover Discovery Sports is a great and fun to drive vehicle if someone don't mind fuel economy (19/20 city/highway).”
