Is the Land Rover Discovery 4 a good first car?
Aside from the large dimensions, the Discovery 4 should be fairly easy to drive. All Discoverys were fitted with automatic gearboxes and while driver assistance systems were not prevalent at the time, the Discovery 4 is fitted with hill start assist and Gradient Acceleration Control. Be sure to get a late model with a service history so that you have the peace of mind you need.

With three rows of seats and a flexible seating arrangement with flat-folding seats means that there's more than enough space for all and sundry. The leather upholstery is easy to clean and maintain and while there may only be 280-litres of boot space with the last row upright, this is easily expanded by dropping the third row.
Is there a Hybrid Land Rover Discovery 4?
There is no hybrid Land Rover Discovery 4. The smallest engine on offer was the early 2.7-litre V6 diesel engine but even this one was replaced with a 3.0-litre V6 turbodiesel. For the power hungry, there's always the 5.0-litre V8 petrol.
