2021 Land Rover Discovery Engine Performance: 2 Kinds of Power

The 2021 Land Rover Discovery has two available engines. The standard is the 2.0L P300 i4 gas engine. This powertrain puts out 296 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque for a maximum towing capacity of 6,614 pounds when properly equipped. That’s enough towing power to bring a small recreational boat to the lakes in Atchafalaya National Wildlife Refuge for some weekend fishing.

The other available engine is the 3.0L P360 i6 engine. This engine is a mild hybrid engine that offers 355 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque adding up to a maximum available towing capacity of 7,716 pounds. With that kind of power, you can bring along a lightweight camper to Bergeron’s On-Bayou Campground for a weekend of family bonding.

When it comes to fuel economy, the Discovery model’s MPG is impressive. The P300 motor has an EPA-estimated 19 city/22 highway MPG, while the P360 offers an EPA-estimated 18 city/24 highway MPG.1

2021 Land Rover Discovery Technology: Connectivity No Matter Where You Go

When you’re making the long drive for sightseeing along the Mississippi River, you’ll need some entertainment to keep you awake and alert. The 2021 Land Rover Discovery comes standard with Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay® integration and an 8-speaker sound system. However, there is an available Meridian™ Surround Sound System with 14 speakers.

The Discovery feels like it’s from the future with an available Head-Up Display, which will project key information straight onto the windshield. This means you can see the information without taking your eyes off the road for even the briefest second to check the speedometer.

2021 Land Rover Discovery Safety Features: Looking Out for What You Don’t See

Keeping you and your family safe on your vacation is going to be at the forefront of your mind. It’s a good thing that the Discovery has a suite of safety and driver-assistance features. Standard on the Discovery are:

  • 3D Surround Camera
  • Traffic Sign Recognition and Adaptive Speed Limiter
  • Emergency Braking
  • Lane Keep Assist

There’s also an available Adaptive Cruise Control feature, which keeps your SUV at a set distance from the vehicle in front of you. When the vehicle in front of you stops, the Discovery will bring you to a controlled halt. This is great if your road trip gets sidetracked by some unexpected road work and you’re in stop-and-go traffic for a while.
