The Land Rover Discovery Wears A New Fancy Suit

In the news this week, we discuss Stellantis - the new automotive corporation formed by Fiat-Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) and Peugeot-Citroen (PSA). Now with over 14 car manufacturers under their umbrella, we discuss the future of their brands - and most importantly, the beloved Italian brand, Alfa Romeo. In Part 2, we discuss the new RM110k cheaper, localized Mercedes-Benz GLE 450 AMG, and the stunning new Genesis G70 Shooting Brake.

Meanwhile, our review takes a look at the newest version of the humble Land Rover Discovery. The 'Disco' is typically known for its squared-off shape, sturdy build and go-anywhere attitude, but the new one seems a bit too glitzy for our liking, despite being more capable than ever before. We find out what the new fancy suit is all about.
