The Land Rover Discovery presents itself as an embodiment of grace and competence. Its seamless combination of off-road capability and refined road manners has made it one of the most versatile vehicles on the market. The Discovery travels with an air of confidence, effortlessly navigating rough terrain with the aid of its advanced Terrain Response system. The Progress Control function takes the experience to new heights, functioning as off-road cruise control that allows the driver to focus solely on steering.
The 2021 model year refresh brought new six-cylinder engines, both in petrol and diesel, updated suspension, and refreshed interior features. This has only increased our admiration for this multi-talented vehicle. Regrettably, the need for seven seats means that a plug-in hybrid version is not possible. But despite a slow start, the Discovery’s popularity has skyrocketed as more and more people discover its unique blend of luxury, refinement, spaciousness, and unmatched off-road abilities.
Number 5. Ssangyong Rexton
The Ssangyong Rexton – it’s not just a pretty face, it’s a true 4×4. With the latest version, you get a package that can’t be beaten. Seven seats, sturdy ladder-frame construction, advanced 4-wheel drive with low range, electronic hill descent control, and a powerful 201bhp, 2.2-liter diesel engine. All at a price that’ll make your wallet smile, starting at just $30,000.
Now, it may not have the smoothest ride, but it sure handles well for its size. The steel-coil suspension and 20-degree clearance angles may not be top of the line, but it can tackle rough terrain with ease. So, if you’re looking for a big, cost-effective way to cross fields and tracks, take a closer look at the Rexton. It’s the off-roader that’ll keep your wallet and your family happy.
