Land Rover Discovery 4 Commercial road tests and consumer car reviews

Land Rover Discovery 4 Commercial Commercial van XS 2009

I now have an XS Commercial Discovery 4 with premium sat-nav etc and bluetooth. The only gripes I have with it are the fuel economy (32mpg) and the fact that the dashboard dials light up before the headlamps come on. Other than this it is absolutely brilliant and a vast improvement on the D3.

Tony, Is there an option to get seats in the rear? - Ralph from Suffolk

Hi Tony, Just discovered (no pun intended) I can obtain one of these ’Discovery commercial’ through my company. At present running a Vito sport dualiner but would like more car based vehicle than van based, notice the back doesn’t come with seats, is there anything to stop you from adding rear seats as a retro fit? Any Garages you would recommend? Look forward to your answers, Thanks - Peter Johnson from Buckinghamshire

Hi, found this site......http://www.scotseats.co.uk - Craig Marshall from Fife and Kinross Shires

Update: Fuel economy now improving to between 32 & 39mpg depending on terrain. Difficult to fit seats. The van conversion involves the fitment of a steel structure in the rear with mounting points all over the place. Also the slots for rear airbags and seatbelts are all covered over. The tax situation is also a problem, fit rear seats and take it for an MOT in three years time and get into a lot of very hot water! - Tony L from England

How did you get one of these I did not think that they had started building these yet. I have been told that I can not get an XS spec anymore and can only spec up a base spec. Should be here soon - William Carr from England

Land Rover Discovery 4 Commercial 2009

I recently bought a Discovery 4 SE and sold my Merc Benz ML320. This is the best 4x4 I have owned (Prado, pajero, Landcruiser100, had them all.) The only thing I don’t get the consumption advertised. I get 12L/100 combined, but then who wants to drive at 120 KMPH? Well done Landrover, off-road is amazing. Colin, South Africa
