Discovery I
The Discovery was introduced into the United Kingdom in 1989. The new model was based on the chassis and drivetrian of the more upmarket Range Rover, but with a lower price aimed at a larger market segment and intended to compete with Japanese offerings. This was the only Discovery generation with four-cylinders engines.
Production: 1989–1999
Discovery II
The Series II Discovery debuted in autumn 1998 and in the US in 1999. Land Rover promoted that the Discovery Series II had been modified with 720 'differences'.
Production 1999–2004
