1. Top off-road brand with a long history.
2. British royal designated cars
3. Non-load-bearing beam body: it can cope with the torsional stress caused by complex terrain (/yuni/reviews/show.php? nid=80)
5. Pneumatic suspension+chassis lifting: the best approach angle and departure angle among SUVs of the same class.
6.4.4L engine: sufficient power and torque to ensure excellent highway acceleration performance and high torque required for passing through complex terrain.
disadvantaged
1. British automobile products are not up to standard as a whole, and there are many minor faults.
2. It is found that there are many electronic control systems, and the stability is not conducive to off-road
3. The beam non-load-bearing car body is heavier than the load-bearing car body and has higher fuel consumption.
4. There are not many people in the market who can't repair niche imported models, there are few authorized repair outlets, and the purchase cycle of accessories is long.
5. The engine is expensive and requires high fuel quality, basically 97. (The importer in Beijing once organized a trip to go on road trip, Tibet, and specially rented two tankers to provide 97 # gasoline all the way. )
6. The price of spare parts is high, and the off-road cost (relative to cruisers and big cuts) is higher.
It is said that six cylinders of diesel will be imported next year. 3. Personally recommend TDV6, because the diesel engine is compression-ignition and has no electronic ignition system, so the overall durability is better.
================================
What is the maximum instantaneous fuel consumption? I personally drove 4.4 and found that the driving computer showed 55L/ 100 km, and the fuel consumption in Shanghai was between 18-22L/ 100 km.
What is the average fuel consumption of climbing a bad road slope? I haven't driven this road for a long time. I should use 2-3 gears, and the fuel consumption should be between 30-35/ 100 km.

How to make the most practical and durable waterproof modification with the best quality for Discovery 3, and how much is it?
I consulted an engineer from Land Rover. Recently, they used Discovery 3(/) in the G4 challenge. Britain has only modified the air intake, and nothing else has changed-its maximum wading depth can be close to 1 meter. Because there are many electrical control units in this car, the wiring harness and computer are distributed in every corner of the car body, and it will be finished as soon as it enters the water! Therefore, it is impossible to make any waterproof modification to the whole vehicle. Second, once the key control unit is flooded, the central module will immediately call the police, and the engine will automatically turn off when it is short of oil, and it can't be turned on if it wants to.
So running according to LZ's road doesn't mean that you can drive for a few years, but that your financial resources can support you to repair for a few years! Because no matter what happens to the car, it can always be repaired. If the maintenance price is greater than the actual market price of the used car, then the insurance company will ask you to scrap the car. Let's not say you drive like this for the time being. On the one hand, the original 2-year warranty will automatically expire because you modify it privately. On the other hand, if you drive abnormally, no insurance company will insure your car, which means that all the maintenance costs are out of your own pocket!
================================
The car with the best off-road performance should be a mechanical transmission control car without any electricity. The most common is the American Hummer! But this kind of car doesn't have any ride comfort (no air conditioning) and economy (their fuel cost is paid by the US government, so fuel consumption doesn't matter). For civilian use, if LZ pays attention to "Animal World" or "National Geographic" channels, managers in African national parks will know what cars are suitable for off-road.
In the low-end SUV, Jeep herdsman, Mitsubishi Petro and Toyota Land Cruiser all belong to your choice range, because they all adopt beam non-loaded body and three-way torque-sensing differential lock. Mitsubishi, the champion of the 10th Paris-Dakar Rally in a row, is especially recommended (it should be regarded as a typical event of "long-distance super bad road cross-country" mentioned by LZ). Off-road performance can be seen!
Among the high-end SUVs, only Land Rover Defender and Mercedes-Benz (G series) really have off-road capability. The former is not sold in China market, and the latter is just a modified car of G55AMG, with a price of182-2.2 million RMB!
================================
Long-term and long-term super bad road cross-country projects that may need to be revised:
1. Winch: Help you cross the river/cross the mud and snow.
2. High-brightness spotlights: provide long-distance lighting on deserted nights.
3. All-terrain tires: BF goodrich is recommended!
4. Air inlet lifting: increase the wading depth of vehicles.
5. Shock absorption modification: changing to harder and longer shock absorption can improve the ground clearance and passing capacity.
6. Chassis reinforcement: strengthen the body's ability to withstand the torsional stress of driving in complex terrain.
7. Anti-roll cage: protect the escape space when members roll.
The above is just my own experience, and it is inevitable that there are shortcomings for reference only. I hope the other prawns downstairs will correct me.

But is the diesel engine better or V8 4.4?
Answer: Diesel is definitely better, because the working principle of diesel engine (compression ignition) has inherent advantages over that of gasoline engine (ignition combustion) working in plateau with low oxygen content (/Yuan Di/Rentan/Shiyong/Gaoyuan.htm).
When will Discovery 3 be replaced?
Answer: Generally, European manufacturers make minor changes in 3-4 years and change platforms in 6-8 years (see Resources for details). Discovery 3 was released at new york Auto Show in April 2004 (/fw _ landrover/fw _ landrover _ 5.html)! And if LZ is determined to modify it, it is really so many meters. I suggest you go directly to the British headquarters to spend18 million to customize a Discovery 3!
