Land Rover sells the 2019 Discovery in SE, HSE, and HSE Luxury trim. Base models cost about $53,000, while the most expensive editions start at just below $70,000.

In all models, the Discovery’s optional equipment earns its price tag, but its standard base equipment lacks a few features. Add a point for its clever infotainment system, and we arrive at a 6 for features. (Read more about how we rate cars.)

The least expensive Discovery SE has power features, power front seats, a power tailgate, 19-inch wheels, twin sunroofs, leather upholstery, two rows of seats, dual-zone climate control, keyless ignition, automatic high beams, and an 8.0-inch touchscreen for infotainment. LED headlights became standard this year. Full-speed automatic emergency braking, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and satellite radio all cost extra on the base model.

HSE editions—our choice in the lineup—add 20-inch wheels, a new wade-sensing system that measures water depth and compares it with the vehicle’s maximum wade rating, navigation, premium audio, and a 10-inch touchscreen for infotainment that can be equipped with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility for an additional $300. HSE Luxury versions get a low-range transfer case, an air suspension, three rows of seats with a power-fold third row, heated second-row seats, a finer grade of leather upholstery, three-zone climate control, and a 14-speaker audio system.

On non-Luxury editions, the third-row seat comes in a bundle with the off-road gear and air suspension, and we think it’s worth a couple of thousand dollars. For more extreme off-roading, the Discovery can add a locking rear differential and a drive-mode selector pre-programmed for snow, rocks, sand, and mud. We’d also take the tow-assist function that controls trailer hitching via a console-mounted knob.

Reasonably priced options that we think should be standard include blind-spot monitors and adaptive cruise control. Rear-seat entertainment’s a pass at more than $2,200; buy a pair of tablets instead. The head-up display, at $1,000, doesn’t seem worth it either.

While Jaguar owners get treated to one of the best warranties of all new cars—5 years or 60,000 miles, full coverage including maintenance—Land Rover’s warranty is average, at 4 years or 50,000 miles.
