The Brits enjoy an impressive history of off-road vehicle construction. A step up in size and comfort from the Defender 90 found you gazing at the Land Rover Discovery. Introduced to America in 1994, this compact four-door sport utility fused off-road tenacity with a thorough helping of inner luxury, and five or seven passenger seating. Adequate performance was provided by the 3.9-liter/182-horsepower V-8 connecting to a five-speed manual or four-speed ZF automatic and full-time four-wheel-drive; four-wheel discs with ABS were standard. Dual airbags, dual-temperature climate control, and central locking were part of the deal; Connolly leather remained an option.
