Land Rover Discovery
The Discovery is a luxury three-row SUV that blends on-road refine-
ment with off-road and towing prowess. We found that the 340-hp,
3.0-liter supercharged V6 engine produces plenty of power and the
eight-speed automatic transmission shifts smoothly, but this combo
returned a mere 17 mpg overall in our tests. A 254-hp, 3.0-liter tur-
bodiesel V6 is also available. The second row can fit three adults, but
it is too low for optimal comfort, and accessing the tight third-row
seat is a slow, awkward process. Though the optional air suspension
makes the ride mostly steady, the Disco is a bit lumbering in corners.
Controls can be confusing, but the front seats are very comfortable
and the quiet cabin is nicely furnished. The SVX is a special off-road
version with a 5.0-liter supercharged V8 engine.Overall Score 49

Kia Telluride
Kia’s all-new Telluride three-row midsized SUV offers seating
for up to eight people and is one of the best in the category. The
slick 291-hp, 3.8-liter V6 is paired with a smooth-shifting eight-speed
automatic transmission. This combination returned 21 mpg overall
in our tests. The Kia rides comfortably, soaking up most bumps well.
Handling is competent, but not sporty. The quiet interior is roomy
and comes with several well-thought out details, such as one-touch
fold/slide second-row seats. Front-wheel drive is standard and all-
wheel drive is available. Standard advanced safety systems include
forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking with pedes-
trian detection, and blind spot warning.Overall Score 90
