This Year's Model Updates:

For 2004, the Discovery gets new tubular roof rails, and a manually lockable center differential is now standard. The S trim gets an in-dash CD player as standard equipment, and the HSE's cabin is enhanced with burled wood trim on the center console. A new interior color scheme -- called Tundra, featuring light earth tones in leather -- has been added. Finally, Land Rover is offering a limited-edition G4 model this year: It's painted an eye-catching orange, and boasts a cabin with unique trim and upholstery.

Pros:
  • Superior off-road ability, classic SUV styling, quality interior materials, lots of head- and legroom.
Cons:
  • Hard to get in and out of, quirky interior design, limited hip- and shoulder room, not much cargo space, poor gas mileage, no side airbags or stability control.

  • A killer,last of the BMW Rovers! - 2004 Land Rover Discovery
    By -

    Excellent in the snow, sand (on Lake Michigan beaches) and rain. Poor gas mileage, but what are you expecting of a SUV that can pull a 2 ton sailboat, a 4 ton sailboat a short haul and jet two kids plus gear around town. Traded my first 2001 Disco SE7 for the 2004 HSE7 (4.6l v8) and it was a great trade! The LR3 is a DOG! Looks and feels and drives CHEAP! Buy a USED DISCOVERY II or II.5! By the way, the replacement parts are much cheaper too from your local import mechanic!

  • Best 4X4, not another SUV - 2004 Land Rover Discovery
    By -

    This is my 2nd Disco, the first which we still own was purchased in 1996. This is quite different from the 96 in that it has more comfort features, tighter turning radius, and more aggressive look. Ive had almost zero problems with it after buying it used with 25000 miles and now having over 70000 miles. If I had a complaint it could only be the fuel mileage and it would be a minor complaint. The rig tows my trailer with no problem, hauls up hills easily and I never realized how stout this rig is until I borrowed a friends Dodge pick up. The Disco is every bit as heavy duty as the pick up ans actually handles the trailer much better. If I located another with lower mileage Id buy it.

  • Serpentine Belt replaced 6x in 1st 6 mos - 2004 Land Rover Discovery
    By -

    I would not recommend this vehicle to anyone. I have had to take it to the dealer for servicing 8 times in less than 8 months. Six times to replace the serpentine belt and the other two times because the check engine light was on. Can you imagine what this piece of junk will require when its a couple of years old?

  • 2004 SE - 2004 Land Rover Discovery

    This is my third SUV and by far it is the best. I live in Coloarado so it is perfect for winter driving and off roading.

  • 2004 DISCO II SE - 2004 Land Rover Discovery
    By -

    I bought this vehicle because of its super cool looks! So far it has been trouble free and a real pleasure to drive. The all wheel drive makes it an excellent vehicle to operate on or off road and it sticks to wet roads with no problem. The sound system is the best Ive ever heard. Ive owned several SUVs and this is my favorite!

  • Love the Truck - 2004 Land Rover Discovery
    By -

    The best way for me to describe the vehicle is it is first and foremost a truck. Yes, It is definitely capable beyond most wanna-be 4 wheel drive vehicles. My wife and I purchased the Discovery because of its unbelievable off-road capabilites. We may never use all of its capabilities, but it does provide great comfort when travelling in erroneous conditions.

  • Bring out Disco Anniversary Edition! - 2004 Land Rover Discovery
    By -

    Love my 04 disco but know when looking into getting one you are also purchasing an on-going expense to maintain. The ride is great, the power is great and looks by far is the best thing about this truck! My hopes are that Land Rover comes to its senses and creates the Disco Anniversary addition...same body style with some of the great features of the LR3 / LR4. Will never get rid of my current Disco though...LOVE IT!

  • G4 Discovery - 2004 Land Rover Discovery
    By -

    I got one of the 2004 G4 Discoveries and I love it. So far its been a great ride...except for gas mileage.

  • Land Rover Discovery 2004 - 2004 Land Rover Discovery

    Great car, very glad I bought it. I wish they would improve the fuel economy and acceleration however. Will buy another one after this one.

  • The Best SUV out there!! - 2004 Land Rover Discovery
    By -

    The Land Rover Disco is absolutely the best vehicle I have ever owned. Its off-capability is unmatched. Seems to be a very reliable vehicle, no problems at all.
