The Discovery II is as versatile as they come. What's amazing is that while traversing the hills and roads of the backcountry, the Discovery II still kept those of us inside in the lap of luxury. The Discovery II's interior was inviting and plush. The folks at Land Rover have even raised the top of the windshield a bit to give a more commanding view of the road. Additionally, rear seat passengers have an excellent line of sight to view the world around them.
Comfort is king when it comes to the cabin.
The plush leather seats were very comfortable and supportive, even during long drives. Dual zone climate control kept the front driver and passenger comfortable, while the wood grain trim provided a tasteful luxury feel to the inside. If the Discovery II is a good indication of what the rest of the Land Rover line has to offer, it looks as if Ford scored another coup on the brand acquisition front. The prestige of the Land Rover brand should help Ford make significant in-roads in the real luxury SUV arena. The rest of the auto world should tip its hat to Ford's leadership for having the foresight to bring Land Rover into the Ford family.
