Isuzu Trooper 1994 vs Land Rover Discovery 1999
| Gearbox: | Manual | Automatic | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Engine: | 3.1 Diesel | 3.9 Petrol | |
| Diesel (Isuzu Trooper) engines typically outperform gasoline engines in terms of fuel efficiency and low-end torque. This makes them more economical and better suited for towing or long-distance travel. However, gasoline (Land Rover Discovery) engines mostly are lighter, quieter, and offer better acceleration and responsiveness, especially in smaller vehicles. For more information, see the article "Diesel or Petrol: Fuel Economy and Key Differences." | |||
| Camshaft drive: | Timing belt | Timing chain | |
| Timing belt usually needs to be replaced more often than the chain, but it is usually significantly cheaper. Timing belt motors are generally quieter and less vibrating than chain motors. | |||
Performance | |||
| Power: | 125 HP | 185 HP | |
| Torque: | 275 NM | 340 NM | |
| Acceleration 0-100 km/h: | n/a seconds | 12.8 seconds | |
| Isuzu Trooper engine produces 60 HP less power than Land Rover Discovery, whereas torque is 65 NM less than Land Rover Discovery. | |||
Fuel consumption | |||
| Fuel consumption (l/100km): | 10.0 | 16.7 | |
|
The Isuzu Trooper is a better choice when it comes to fuel economy. Isuzu Trooper consumes 6.7 litres less fuel per 100 km than the Land Rover Discovery, which means that by driving the Isuzu Trooper over 15,000 km in a year you can save 1005 litres of fuel. | |||
| Fuel tank capacity: | 85 litres | 95 litres | |
| Full fuel tank distance: | 850 km in combined cycle | 560 km in combined cycle | |
| 1060 km on highway | 720 km on highway | ||
| Isuzu Trooper gets more mileage on one fuel tank. | |||

Drive type | |||
| Wheel drive type: | All wheel drive (AWD, 4x4) | 4x4 - Full time 4WD | |
Engines | |||
| Average engine lifespan: | 560'000 km | 280'000 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 Trooper engine could be longer. | |||
| Engine production duration: | 9 years | 8 years | |
| Engine spread: | Used only for this car | Used also on Land Rover Range Rover | |
| 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: | no | yes | |
| The Land Rover Discovery 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. | |||
Dimensions | |||
| Length: | 4.55 m | 4.70 m | |
| Width: | 1.75 m | 1.88 m | |
| Height: | 1.85 m | 1.94 m | |
|
Isuzu Trooper is smaller. Isuzu Trooper is 16 cm shorter than the Land Rover Discovery, 14 cm narrower, while the height of Isuzu Trooper is 9 cm lower. | |||
| Trunk capacity: | no data | 1290 litres | |
| Trunk max capacity: with rear seats folded down |
no data | 1970 litres | |
| Turning diameter: | 9.9 meters | 11.9 meters | |
| The turning circle of the Isuzu Trooper is 2 metres less than that of the Land Rover Discovery, which means Isuzu Trooper can be easier to manoeuvre in tight streets and parking spaces. | |||
