Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

Land Rover has given the Discovery a fairly thorough refresh for 2021 that includes two new turbocharged engines—a 296-hp four-cylinder and a 355-hp six-cylinder—as well as a new Pivi Pro infotainment system with an 11.4-inch display. A new grille, tweaked exterior lighting elements, and new wheel designs give the Disco a visual update, and a new R-Dynamic model—complete with glossy black exterior accents—joins the lineup. Land Rover has improved rear-seat comfort by adding additional padding to the second-row chairs. There's a new 12.3-inch digital gauge display and a full-color head-up display for the driver; a toggle-style gear selector is also new and all Discovery models now come standard with an adjustable air suspension.

PROS
Legitimate off-road capability,
stylish exterior,
modern technology comes standard.

CONS
Clumsy handling,
cargo space suffers with third row in use,
adults won't fit comfortably in the rearmost seats.

PROS
Unstoppable off-road,
superb motorway manners,
vast cabin space,
improved interior tech

CONS
Too damn big for the UK.
Perhaps a little over-endowed for most of us.
And now the Defender’s here, wouldn’t you sooner have that?

The 2022 BMW X4 crossover goes back for styling seconds: you’ll have to judge whether it’s worth the calories.

Pros
Willing turbocharged engines
Balanced handling
Scalding M performance
Excellent interior tech
Lots of available safety gear

Cons
Style not for everyone
So-so rear-seat human space
So-so cargo space
Mega M price tag

By: 
thecarconnection.com

Updated styling elements mark the 2022 model year for the X4. BMW has tweaked the grille, the bumpers, exterior lighting elements, and wheel designs this year and has reworked the X4's center console. The hot M40i model gains a 48-volt hybrid system and larger 12.3-inch infotainment and gauge displays are now standard.

Pros
Nicely balanced chassis,
powerful turbocharged engine options,
cool fastback exterior styling.

Cons
Snug rear seat space,
cargo room not as generous as X3's,
sober interior styling.
