Overview & Reviews

Land Rover has made a number of updates to its 2003 Discovery. In terms of mechanical components, the company has installed a more powerful 4.6-liter V8 engine and has improved the steering, brakes and suspension. Styling is revised front and rear, including headlamps that mimic its bigger brother's, the Range Rover. New interior treatments grace the cabin, and a rear park distance control is now an option. Finally, Land Rover has dropped the "Series II" nomenclature, and it's now simply called "Discovery."

• Great off-road ability, unique exterior design, advanced handling features.

• Difficult entry and egress, quirky interior design, not much cargo space, poor gas mileage.

  Lets do it again - 2003 Land Rover Discovery
  By TAH - November 28 - 10:00 am

  Our 2003 Discovery is the second one weve leased. The 2003 is much quieter than the 2000 model we had before. My wife insisted on another although my blazer can carry more in the rear. They include the scheduled maintenance now.

  I Like It - 2003 Land Rover Discovery

  Fun vehicle to drive and comes standard with a boat load of features. Fuel consumption and per gallon price make me choose my other vehicle occasionally.

  Rather Be Walking - 2003 Land Rover Discovery
  By Rather Be Walking - September 30 - 10:00 am

  Bought my 2003 Disc.SE new and experienced problems ever since. Replaced electronic control units in both sunroofs, fixed the drivers side window and front sunroof as they were stuck open, cigarette lighter and heated seats stopped working after 2 months, and gas tank door fixed several times-it refuses to stay closed. Tail lights burn out continuously, back door bolts rusted since month 2 and bolts under hood corroding. Vehicle is very loud. Control panel layout is awkward at best. After sale service was so bad that I would never go back to that dealership. Take a very long test drive before purchasing this vehicle. Cant wait to get rid of mine.

  SUPER - 2003 Land Rover Discovery
  By c. hughes - September 4 - 10:00 am

  I THINK ITS A SUPER CAR WITH GREAT STYLE AND RELIABILITY. NOT YOUR COMMON BORING. I LIKE THE SAFETY FEATURES AND BEING ABLE TO DO ANYTHING I WANT TO DO OR GO ANYWHERE I WISH. SHOULD HAVE HIGHER RATING!

  Mirror Image SUV - 2003 Land Rover Discovery
  By samatnyc - July 23 - 10:00 am

  I love the truck, but for its oddity. We traded in a BMW 528i for it because we have kids that desperately need space (note to SUV haters: stop legislating huge car seats and I wouldnt need an SUV). The truck is solid, handles very well except for a rear axle hop under sudden acceleration. The controls are unique in that many are reversed. For entertainment, go try out the window and audio controls and see English ergonomics in action! The brake and accelerator pedals are close together-- youll get used to that. I find it charming, you may not. No matter how you feel when you buy it, youll have a different opinion by the end of the week.

  I love this Land Rover - 2003 Land Rover Discovery
  By chuck2003 - December 27 - 2:00 am

  Traded a Freelander for the Disco. Should have bought the Disco in the first place. Dont get me wrong, the Freelander is a great vehicle, but the Discovery has better build quality, more space, luxury features, and feels much more solid. And it almost begs to go off-road. We opted for the 7- passenger version (SE7).

  Love my dirt demon - 2003 Land Rover Discovery
  By Paul - October 14 - 10:50 am

  I am a little biased here, I used to be a sales manager for Land Rover so know that up front when reading this. I do love love love my disco. This is my 4th Rover (98 Disco, 2x 03 Freelanders (his in black and hers in Red), 03 Disco), and Ive never been disapointed. The thing about the Discovery is that you have to understand what it is before you buy it and be ok with what it is and what it isnt. What it is: - The ultimate off-road vehicle, go anywhere anytime for any reason. - IMO, tough. Ive never had a big problem with any of mine, but then again I do my service and repairs (most dont!) - Expensive What it isnt: - A Mercedes-Benz - Fuel efficient - For everyone

  Bad All Over - 2003 Land Rover Discovery
  By Bad over - October 14 - 10:00 am

  Nice 4wd, nice change for 2003. Car has humming noise, similar to gear noises around 50-70 MPH. People either seem to like it or think its ugly. Drinks gas like an gasoholic. why is it so hard to stick the key in the ignition? Bad dealers attitudes. I had better treatment at BMW, and infinity dealers.
