With its trademark alpine windows and utilitarian styling, there's no mistaking the Land Rover Discovery for something else. Though completely redesigned last year (85 percent of its parts were new), the overall look is similar to the previous model. Fresh styling and a wider stance give the Series II a more confident look. The interior was redesigned for improved outward visibility, increased roominess and easier operation.The Series II is 4 inches wider, 6 inches longer in length and 1 inch shorter in height than the previous Discovery (though it maintains its ground clearance). Cargo capacity is greater than before. Range Rover-style door handles are easy to open and the full-size spare tire is mounted low on the rear door for improved visibility. Two new paint hues, Alveston Red and Kent Green, and more color combinations are available for 2000.
