The latest Discovery is a lot more efficient than previous versions, not least due to the vast amount of weight that’s been shed. But it’s still a pretty thirsty car to run, and is beaten on fuel costs by the majority of its seven-seat SUV rivals.

However, it’s worth noting that reasonable service and repair costs and, more importantly, low depreciation help the Discovery to mitigate those expenses, especially if you go for the best-selling 2.0-litre diesel model. As a result, it's actually not too expensive a car to buy and own, when all is said and done.
