The Gemini, from ₹1.26Cr ex-showroom Delhi, is where the Discovery range starts. Features you get even here: Level 1 ADAS, panoramic sunroof and 360 degree camera.

What do the Land Rover Discovery trim names mean?

A trim is a level of equipment, and Land Rover uses 3 names for them on the Discovery: in its own order they run Gemini, Dynamic HSE and Tempest. Between them the 3 variants cost ₹1.26Cr to ₹1.39Cr, ex-showroom Delhi.

What fuel does the Land Rover Discovery run on?

Every one of the 3 Discovery variants on sale is a diesel, from ₹1.26Cr for the Gemini Diesel Mild Hybrid AT, ex-showroom Delhi. It comes only as an automatic, so there is no manual variant to save on.

Where that range comes from

Every price in the table is ex-showroom, the figure before road tax, registration and the rest of it. Road tax is set by the state you register in rather than by the maker, so what you actually hand over moves with where you live.

The two ends of that range differ in two ways at once: the bottom is the cheapest variant in the state that taxes it least, and the top is the dearest variant in the state that taxes it most.

Hold the variant still and only the geography moves: the Gemini Diesel Mild Hybrid AT comes to ₹1,35,12,808 in Aizawl and ₹1,55,29,008 in Kochi, a difference of ₹20,16,200 on the identical car. Of the 25 states we can price it in, Mizoram and Arunachal Pradesh are level at the lowest, and Kerala comes out highest. You register where you live, so read that as a reason to check the quote you were given, not as somewhere cheaper to buy.

Comprehensive own-damage cover sits on top of all of it. That has been market-priced since 2007 and moves with the insurer and your no-claim bonus, so budget for it from real quotes rather than from any number here.

Why there is no overall score

Scores are our reading of published, independent evidence, not the manufacturer's, and we deliberately publish no single overall rating: a car can be excellent on safety and weak on resale, and one number would hide that. How we score, and how makers can respond.
