Just as comfy as the front, with the added bonus of net above your head for maps, toys and copies of Land Rover. The door openings aren’t the largest, but the elevated seats a real Discovery strong point make travelling in the back no hardship. The boot mounted, foldaway, side facing seats are for kids or emergencies, but they often come in useful.
None other than Sir Terence Conran designed the Discovery interior in the late 1980 and it shows. That said, the seats are comfortable and the interior planned in a very user friendly manner. Touch 200Tdi dur dungs into life you’ll never forget its diesel. Once underway, though, a civilized conversation is quite possible at motorway speeds.
The discovery didn’t get anti roll bars until 1994, which is a real shame. Without them the Discovery feels wallowy and disconcerting if you try and rush it through bends and even roundabouts. Generally, though, the ride quality is good the Range Rover pedigree shows through. it can feel vogue, the steering is nicely weighted. The Tdi pulls well it feel like a rocket after the series III’s trusty 2.25 but you need to keep the turbo on song to make decent progress. This is a big, heavy car, and it feel it.
