The pre-eminent Land Rover Disovery 4 was a cracker of an SUV. While it might have felt a little dated in its twightlight years, it certainly had the character, refinement and practicality to out-do many of its more sporting rivals.
There was a quiet classlessness to the fourth-generation Disco, which made it only more appealing.
It was easy to drive, had a luxurious edge to compliment its functional characteristics and, crucially, had solid on-road dynamics to match its unprecendent off-road ability.
