Head to the summit with the 2019 Land Rover Discovery SVX

Whatever you throw at it, the Discovery SVX appears ready to handle it, and then some.

Cars are Andrew's jam, as is strawberry. After spending years as a regular ol' car fanatic, he started working his way through the echelons of the automotive industry, starting out as social-media director of a small European-focused garage outside of Chicago. From there, he moved to the editorial side, penning several written features in Total 911 Magazine before becoming a full-time auto writer, first for a local Chicago outlet and then for CNET Cars.

Under the hood is the aforementioned 5.0-liter supercharged V8.

It's meant to go off-road, and Land Rover made a bunch of modifications to the standard Discovery to boost its capabilities.

On the lighter side, the forged aluminum wheels are wrapped in 275/55/20 Goodyear Wrangler all-terrain tires.

Land Rover raised both the unibody chassis as well as its air suspension system, using revised suspension components to increase the car's breakover, departure and approach angles.

Its two-speed transfer case will help drivers traverse gnarly terrain, and it works in conjunction with a variety of other systems, including hill descent control and All-Terrain Progress Control.
