Land Rover Discovery review: Pioneering seven-seat SUV still among the best in the business

The Land Rover Discovery is one of those cars that helped cement the idea of a seven-seat SUV as a sensible family vehicle.

When it first appeared with its fold-down jump seats in the boot  it was a rarity but now, 33 years later, there are a plethora of options from brands as diverse as Audi, Volvo, Skoda and Dacia, all cashing in on the demand it helped create for practical family transport that also hints at an exciting and active lifestyle.
