2018 Land Rover Discovery is a dirt-dancing queen

The Land Rover Discovery was all new for 2017 and is available with two or three rows of seating.

The Disco has the option of a 3.0-liter diesel engine, but our tester packs a 3.0-liter supercharged V6 with 340 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque.

Regardless of engine choice, you'll get an eight-speed automatic transmission, putting power down to all four wheels.

You'll need to jump up to the HSE Luxury trim to get a two-speed transfer case.

The Terrain Response 2 system with modes for Grass/Gravel/Snow, Mud/Ruts, Sand and Rock Crawl and an active locking rear differential are both optional.

The Discovery offers up strong acceleration with a quickness that belies its three-row SUV footprint.

There is a Sport mode for those who want a little bit more chutzpah.

The optional adaptive cruise control works great in the Discovery, bringing me to a complete stop behind a lead car in heavy traffic and pausing before taking off again.

All trims get a 10-inch display running Land Rover's InControl Touch Pro infotainment system. Unfortunately the system is slow to respond to inputs, and often refuses to heed inputs altogether.
