Explore the most affordable land rover discovery-2.0t version. Although it may seem a bit trite, the release of this brand-new model has indeed brought benefits to consumers. Compared with the entry-level model of the previous generation, it upgraded the power system from 3.0V6 supercharged to 2.0T turbocharged, and the price also dropped from 798,000 yuan to 688,000 yuan, saving 110,000 yuan. As the most popular discovery model on the market at present, this 2.0T discovery is undoubtedly a cost-effective leap.
Appearance, this 2.0T discovery continues the design of the old model, and the retention of all LED headlights highlights sincerity. Although the tail design continues the asymmetrical style, Land Rover’s tail nameplate has been updated as a substitute for Si6, while the hidden exhaust shows a low-key elegance. In terms of interior, although it is similar to the discovery of Shenxing, the upgrade of instrument panel is the highlight. The 10.2-inch large screen is matched with InControl in-vehicle system, which provides an intuitive display of four-wheel drive power distribution and suspension information.
However, for off-road enthusiasts, the off-road configuration found in the entry version is a little regrettable, and the differential lock function is cancelled, especially the lack of rock mode and low-speed four-wheel drive, which reduces the extreme off-road performance. However, the standard air suspension still provides some comfort for drivers, which can make up for the lack of dynamic performance and improve the ability to get out of trouble. Nevertheless, for users who are less than 1.65 meters tall, it may be inconvenient to rise to the highest level.
On the road, the discovery with 2.0T engine is excellent, with strong power and ride comfort exceeding that of hard-core off-road vehicles, but the steering feel is fuzzy, which may not meet the needs of urban driving. Despite the attraction of falling prices, consumers need to weigh the lost off-road configuration, such as 40 horsepower and central speedometer locking. For consumers with limited budget but pursuing large SUVs of luxury brands, this entry-level version is a worthy choice. In view of the preferential strength of Jaguar Land Rover, if there is another discount of about 100,000 yuan, its cost performance will be even more amazing.
