If you’re looking for a new luxury SUV in the Edgewater area, you’ve come to the right place! At Land Rover Annapolis, we pride ourselves on a wide variety of top-quality new Land Rover vehicles to suit just about every budget and lifestyle. Two of the best models you can find right now are the Land Rover Defender and Land Rover Discovery, both refreshed for the 2023 model year with plenty of exciting specs and features to recommend them! What are the differences between the Land Rover Defender and Land Rover Discovery? The team at Land Rover Annapolis has all the details in the comparison guide below!
Price is often one of the first things that prospective drivers consider when shopping for a new SUV. Right off the bat, you’ll see that there are some key differences between the Land Rover Defender and Land Rover Discovery when it comes to cost. The Land Rover Defender is offered in two configurations–the two-door model (90), which starts at $53,500, and the four-door model (110) which starts at $52,300. By contrast, the larger Discovery starts at $58,400. However, before you let that turn you away from the Discovery, be aware that the higher price tag also comes with more seating for up to seven passengers! And as you’d expect from a top luxury brand like Land Rover, both models come well-equipped with advanced amenities and tech such as Apple CarPlay®.
You’ll find that both the Land Rover Defender and Discovery come with powerful engine options under the hood, making for a smooth and safe ride around Crofton and beyond. Both models can tow up to 8,000 pounds of cargo, and both come with off-road capabilities if you’re interested in taking your SUV off the beaten path. Both SUVs also come with multiple engine options and the same base-level specs–however, the Defender comes with an additional V8 engine option that you won’t find on the Discovery. Here are all the details:
Interior space is usually another area of importance to prospective SUV drivers, particularly those looking for a family-friendly vehicle. Fortunately, no matter if you choose the Land Rover Defender or Discovery, you’ll enjoy plenty of space inside the cabin! Only the Land Rover Discovery comes with three standard rows of seats, but the Defender 110 can be configured to add an extra row at the cost of some cargo space. If you’re looking to maximize both your passenger and cargo volume, you’ll want to go with the Discovery! Here are the interior dimensions for all three available models:
