2005 Land Rover Discovery

Automobiles

In 2005 the Discovery 3 was the platform for the new Range Rover Sport, the first all-new model since the Freelander, which was based on the Discovery 3 rather than on the larger Range Rover. The Discovery 3 itself was lauded by the press for its Terrain Response off-road aid, better road manners and interior, and won a 4WD of the Year award in Australia; Jeremy Clarkson drove one up a Scottish mountain where no vehicle had previously gone.
