It was the last stint for the first generation of the Discovery, and Land Rover improved the aged SUV in many areas, preparing it for the next generation.
The British carmaker didn't make that many changes over the years to the Discovery as it did in 1994, and on some markets, it even named it Discovery II, even though it was just a refresh that brought external and internal modifications.
Land Rover offered the Discovery in a three- or five-door configuration. The latter version was more suitable for families. The 1994 model featured bigger headlights with an angled upper inbound corner and two sets of taillights in the rear, but only one was functional. A set of side-steps was offered as an option to ease ingress and egress to the car.
The Discovery also received some upgrades on the interior in terms of safety. For specific markets, and as an option, the carmaker installed either driver or dual-airbag on the redesigned dashboard. The carmaker installed either textile or leather upholstery depending on the trim level. At the back, the split-folding rear bench increases the trunk area.
Under the hood, Land Rover dropped the older engines and adopted a new, 2.5-liter, direct-injection and turbocharged diesel. In addition, the carmaker offered the car with a 3.9-liter V8 gasoline unit. Both versions were mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox and a low-range transfer box.
