Why Lease a Land Rover Discovery?
The Discovery's case is simple and it has not changed in years: it is the best seven seater on sale if the back two seats actually have to hold adults. Not children on a short run, adults, for an hour, without complaint. Auto Express calls it "really the only car in its class that can accommodate two fully grown adults in the rear in relative comfort" and reckons it has more legroom back there than an Audi Q7 or a Volvo XC90. Autocar puts it more bluntly, calling the third row "head and shoulders more spacious than its rivals".
Add the stepped stadium seating so everyone can see out, a 3,500kg maximum towing limit and genuine off road ability, and you have a car that does a specific job better than anything else. If you tow, or you regularly carry seven people who are not all under twelve, it belongs on your list.
One Engine, and It Is the Right One
The UK range has narrowed to a single engine, the D350. It is a 3.0 litre straight six diesel with mild hybrid assistance, 350 HP and 700Nm of torque from 1,500rpm, driving all four wheels through an eight speed automatic. It will do 0 to 60mph in 5.9 seconds, which in a car this size and shape is faintly ridiculous, and more usefully it pulls a loaded trailer up a motorway slip road without any drama at all.
If you see a D250, D300, P300 or P360 Discovery quoted, that is an earlier car. Land Rover's pan-European pages still list some of them and they disagree with each other, so check the engine on the derivative you are offered rather than the one in the article you read.
Seats and Space
Seven seats as standard on every passenger Discovery. The third row is manually folded on Discovery S and electrically folded and heated on Discovery Tempest.
- 172 litres with all seven seats upright. Small, but more than most seven seaters leave you.
- 922 litres with the third row folded, which is how most people will use it most of the time.
- 1,997 litres with both rear rows folded.
Those are Land Rover's own "dry" figures, measured with solid blocks behind each row rather than filling the space to the roof, so they compare directly with how most manufacturers quote. Land Rover also publishes larger "wet" numbers, which is why you will sometimes see 2,391 litres for the same car.
One fair criticism: the second row splits 60/40 rather than the more flexible 40/20/40 some rivals offer, and What Car? notes its legroom is less generous than a Q7 or XC90. The third row is the Discovery's trump card, not the whole cabin. The Commercial versions remove the rear seats entirely and fit a bulkhead, giving 1,700 litres dry behind the partition and two seats.
Trims, and the Running Costs Question
Three passenger trims: Discovery S, Discovery Landmark and Discovery Tempest. Landmark is the newer of the two special editions and sits between the other two, with Tasman Blue paint exclusive to it, mountain badging through the cabin, 22 inch alloys, a sliding panoramic roof and a centre console fridge. Tempest sits at the top with Borasco Grey paint and a matte protective film fitted as standard. There are matching Commercial SE, Commercial Landmark and Commercial Tempest versions for businesses. Roof rails are standard across the 27MY range, and there is a new Driver Attention Monitor.
Now the part worth being honest about. There is no plug-in hybrid or electric Discovery, and CO2 emissions on the D350 are well over 200g/km. What Car? points out that puts a company car driver in the top benefit in kind band, so as a salary sacrifice or company car the Discovery is an expensive way to travel compared with an electric alternative. Those bands change each tax year, so get the current figures from your accountant. On a personal lease it matters far less, and real world economy of just over 30mpg from a car this big is reasonable. If the Discovery is going on a company, we would rather flag that now than let you find it on the P11D.

Land Rover Discovery Leasing FAQs
Yes. The full size Discovery is on sale as a 2027 model year car with six UK derivatives. A lot of headlines about "Discovery production ending" are actually about the smaller Discovery Sport. Land Rover has confirmed a next generation Discovery is in development but has announced no timing and there is nothing to order yet.
One engine, the D350. It is a 3.0 litre straight six mild hybrid diesel with 350 HP and 700Nm, driving all four wheels through an eight speed automatic. Earlier D250, D300, P300 and P360 Discoverys are no longer offered in the UK.
Yes, and it is the main reason to choose one. Reviewers consistently rate the third row as the best in the class for adults, with more legroom than an Audi Q7 or Volvo XC90 and stepped seating so everyone can see out.
172 litres with all seven seats upright, 922 litres with the third row folded and 1,997 litres with both rear rows down. Those are Land Rover's own figures measured with solid blocks rather than filling the space to the roof, so they compare directly with most manufacturers.
Up to 3,500kg, with 750kg unbraked. Combined with 700Nm of torque from low revs, that makes it one of the most capable tow cars you can lease.
No. The current Discovery is diesel only, with no plug-in hybrid or electric version. CO2 is well over 200g/km, which puts a company car driver in the top benefit in kind band. Those bands change each tax year, so take the current figures from your accountant.
Discovery S, Discovery Landmark and Discovery Tempest for passenger cars, plus Commercial SE, Commercial Landmark and Commercial Tempest with the rear seats removed and a bulkhead fitted. Older names like R-Dynamic SE and Metropolitan Edition are no longer offered.
LetsLease is a credit broker rather than the lender. We arrange the agreement and place it with a funder such as Lex Autolease, Novuna, Ayvens or Santander, and that funder owns the vehicle and holds the agreement with you. Because we work across several funders rather than one, we can compare how each prices the same car.
