The Land Rover Discovery 3, also known as the LR3 in North America, is a mid-size luxury SUV produced by Land Rover from 2004 to 2009. This generation marked a significant departure from its predecessor, the Discovery 2, with a completely new platform, styling, and interior. Built on a modified version of the Ford Explorer platform, the Discovery 3 offered a more refined and luxurious experience compared to its rugged predecessor. It featured a contemporary design with a more modern aesthetic and a spacious, comfortable cabin with high-quality materials. The Discovery 3 retained the off-road capability that Land Rover is known for, offering a permanent four-wheel drive system, a low-range transfer case, and a Terrain Response system that allowed drivers to optimize the vehicle's settings for different driving conditions. Under the hood, the Discovery 3 was powered by a range of powerful V8 and V6 engines, including the 4.0-liter V8 petrol engine producing 275 hp, the 4.4-liter V8 diesel engine generating 190 hp, and the 2.7-liter V6 diesel engine delivering 190 hp. The Discovery 3 offered a variety of features, including a seven-seat configuration, a powerful sound system, advanced navigation, and a plethora of safety features. Despite its luxury appointments, the Discovery 3 remained a capable off-roader, with its ground clearance, approach and departure angles, and wading depth allowing it to tackle challenging terrains with ease. The Discovery 3 was a popular choice for families and adventurers alike, offering a blend of luxury, comfort, and off-road capability that proved to be a winning formula. However, it was replaced by the Discovery 4 in 2010, marking the end of an era for the Discovery 3.
