The Land Rover Discovery 3, also known as the LR3 in North America, is a mid-size luxury SUV that was produced from 2004 to 2009. It was the third generation of the Discovery model, following the Discovery 1 and Discovery 2. The Discovery 3 was a significant departure from its predecessors, featuring a completely new platform, design, and technology. This new platform, based on the Ford Explorer, offered a more refined ride and improved handling. It also featured a more luxurious interior with higher quality materials and enhanced comfort features. The Discovery 3 was a popular choice for families and adventurers alike, offering a spacious cabin, a robust off-road capability, and a comfortable on-road driving experience. In terms of design, the Discovery 3 retained the signature boxy shape of its predecessors but incorporated a more modern and aerodynamic aesthetic. It featured a larger grille, slimmer headlights, and a more sculpted body. The interior was also modernized, with a more driver-focused dashboard, a larger center console, and a more ergonomic layout. The Discovery 3 was powered by a range of petrol and diesel engines, including a 4.0-liter V8 petrol engine, a 4.4-liter V8 diesel engine, and a 2.7-liter V6 diesel engine. All engines were mated to a six-speed automatic gearbox, and most models came with a full-time four-wheel drive system. The Discovery 3 also featured a variety of advanced safety features, including ABS, electronic stability control, and multiple airbags. Despite its popularity, the Discovery 3 was not without its flaws. Some owners reported issues with the engine, transmission, and suspension, and the vehicle's reliability was considered to be below average. Nevertheless, the Discovery 3 remained a capable and versatile SUV that appealed to a wide range of buyers. Its successor, the Land Rover Discovery 4, was launched in 2009, and it further refined the design, performance, and technology of the Discovery model.
