Land Rover Discovery 1999 vs Isuzu Trooper 1994
| Gearbox: | Automatic | Manual | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Engine: | 3.9 Petrol | 3.1 Diesel | |
| Petrol engines (Land Rover Discovery) are generally quieter, smoother, and better suited for short trips due to quicker warm-up times. Diesel (Isuzu Trooper) engines, on the other hand, offer superior fuel efficiency and torque, making them ideal for long-distance driving and heavy loads.

| Camshaft drive: | Timing chain | Timing belt | |
| Engine chain usually needs to be replaced less often than the timing belt, but the cost of replacing the chain is usually higher. Chain motors are considered to be more reliable, but noisier and more vibration generating. | |||
Performance | |||
| Power: | 185 HP | 125 HP | |
| Torque: | 340 NM | 275 NM | |
| Acceleration 0-100 km/h: | 12.8 seconds | n/a seconds | |
| Land Rover Discovery engine produces 60 HP more power than Isuzu Trooper, whereas torque is 65 NM more than Isuzu Trooper. | |||
Fuel consumption | |||
| Fuel consumption (l/100km): | 16.7 | 10.0 | |
|
The Isuzu Trooper is a better choice when it comes to fuel economy. Land Rover Discovery consumes 6.7 litres more fuel per 100 km than the Isuzu Trooper, which means that if you drive 15,000 km in a year, the Land Rover Discovery could require 1005 litres more fuel. | |||
| Fuel tank capacity: | 95 litres | 85 litres | |
| Full fuel tank distance: | 560 km in combined cycle | 850 km in combined cycle | |
| 720 km on highway | 1060 km on highway | ||
| Isuzu Trooper gets more mileage on one fuel tank. | |||

Drive type | |||
| Wheel drive type: | 4x4 - Full time 4WD | All wheel drive (AWD, 4x4) | |
Engines | |||
| Average engine lifespan: | 280'000 km | 560'000 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: | 8 years | 9 years | |
| Engine spread: | Used also on Land Rover Range Rover | Used only for this car | |
| 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 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: | 4.70 m | 4.55 m | |
| Width: | 1.88 m | 1.75 m | |
| Height: | 1.94 m | 1.85 m | |

Land Rover Discovery is larger. Land Rover Discovery is 16 cm longer than the Isuzu Trooper, 14 cm wider, while the height of Land Rover Discovery is 9 cm higher. | |||
| Trunk capacity: | 1290 litres | no data | |
| Trunk max capacity: with rear seats folded down |
1970 litres | no data | |
| Turning diameter: | 11.9 meters | 9.9 meters | |
| The turning circle of the Land Rover Discovery is 2 metres more than that of the Isuzu Trooper, which means Land Rover Discovery can be harder to manoeuvre in tight streets and parking spaces. | |||
