| Petrol engines (Isuzu Rodeo) are generally quieter, smoother, and better suited for short trips due to quicker warm-up times. Diesel (Land Rover Discovery) engines, on the other hand, offer superior fuel efficiency and torque, making them ideal for long-distance driving and heavy loads.

Drive type | |||
| Wheel drive type: | Rear wheel drive (RWD) | 4x4 - Full time 4WD | |
|
Land Rover Discovery 1990: All wheels are powered permanently, has a center differential. Full time 4WD can be used both on and off road. Transfer cases in most have two modes (low and high), which allows the use of low speed range in harsh conditions. | |||
Engines | |||
| Average engine lifespan: | 480'000 km | 440'000 km | |
| Engine resource depends largely on regular maintenance and the quality of the oils and fuels used, but under equal conditions the average life of a Isuzu Rodeo engine could be longer. | |||
| Engine production duration: | 13 years | 12 years | |
| Engine spread: | Used only for this car | Installed on at least 2 other car models, including Land Rover Range Rover, Land Rover Defender | |
| In general, the longer and for more car models an engine is produced, the better its serviceability and availability of spare parts. Land Rover Discovery might be a better choice in this respect. | |||
| Hydraulic tappets: | yes | no | |
| The Isuzu Rodeo engine has hydraulic tappets (lifters), providing quieter operation and no need for periodic adjustment, but they are more complex in design and can cause serious engine damage in case of failure. | |||
