What is the 2005 Land Rover LR3 and who are its competitors? A replacement for the Discovery (as it will still be called in all other markets outside of North America), the Land Rover LR3 competes in the premium, midsized SUV segment. BMW, Mercedes and Lexus are key competitors. Gone are the Discovery’s solid axles, manual transfer case, pushrod engine and body-on-frame construction. What is so good about it? With increased power, improved throttle response, upgraded steering and braking, and an on-road ride and handling prowess that rivals the more expensive Range Rover, the 2005 Land Rover LR3 is improved in several significant areas, from it’s ability to travel well on road, handle off road course with typical Land Rover aplomb. Perhaps most of all, the LR3 interior design is a significant improvement over the previous Discovery.
