The 2017 Land Rover Discovery 2.0 SD4 SE Auto (240 PS) is a large, premium 7?seat SUV powered by the 2.0?litre Ingenium bi?turbo diesel engine. It delivers strong torque, good towing ability, and respectable efficiency for its size. 1. Strong Performance for a 4?Cylinder Diesel The SD4's 240 PS bi?turbo Ingenium engine delivers: 500 Nm of torque Confident acceleration (0–62 mph in ~8.3s) Smooth power delivery thanks to the twin?turbo setup For a heavy 7?seat SUV, it feels surprisingly lively. Excellent 8?Speed Automatic Gearbox The ZF 8?speed auto is one of the best in the industry: Smooth shifts Intelligent gear selection Works brilliantly with the diesel torque It's a big part of why the Discovery feels refined on the road. 3. True 4WD Capability (Not Just for Show) Unlike many SUVs, the Discovery is a proper off?roader: Terrain Response system Low?range gearing (on most models) High ground clearance Strong traction in mud, snow, and towing situations It's one of the few luxury SUVs that can genuinely go anywhere. Huge Interior Space The Discovery is one of the roomiest SUVs on the market: Proper 7?seater (adults can fit in row 3) Massive boot (up to 2,500 litres with seats down) Wide cabin, lots of headroom Perfect for families, dogs, holidays, or towing gear. 5. Comfortable, Relaxed Ride Owners consistently praise: Soft, cushioned suspension Quiet motorway cruising Stable, planted feel It's built for long?distance comfort rather than sporty handling. Strong Towing Ability With 3,500 kg towing capacity, it's ideal for: Caravans Trailers Horseboxes The SD4 engine has enough torque to tow confidently. 7. Good Fuel Economy for Its Size Official: 38–44 mpg Real world: 30–34 mpg For a big 7?seat 4WD, that's actually respectable. SE Trim = Good Value The SE trim gives you: Leather Sat nav Parking sensors Climate control Good safety kit It avoids the expensive air suspension and tech-heavy extras that can be costly to repair later. 9. Modern, Clean Euro 6 Diesel ULEZ compliant Lower emissions than older TDV6 engines Better refinement This makes it a safer long?term buy in cities. The 2017 Discovery SD4 SE hits a sweet spot: big, comfortable, capable, powerful, and practical, without the higher running costs of the V6 models. It's one of the few SUVs that can tow, carry seven people, and still feel premium.
