| Gearbox: | Manual | Automatic | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Engine: | 2.5 Diesel | 3.2 Petrol | |
| Diesel (Land Rover Discovery) 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 (Isuzu Rodeo) engines mostly are lighter, quieter, and offer better acceleration and responsiveness, especially in smaller vehicles.

Drive type | |||
| Wheel drive type: | 4x4 - Full time 4WD | Rear wheel drive (RWD) | |
|
Land Rover Discovery has 4x4: 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: | 440'000 km | 480'000 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: | 12 years | 13 years | |
| Engine spread: | Installed on at least 2 other car models, including Land Rover Range Rover, Land Rover Defender | 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: | no | yes | |
| 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. | |||
