The above snapshot reflects the 2014 model year’s essence, but the pace at which the “LAND-ROVER Discovery depreciation” occurs is a decisive factor for prospective customers. Over a vehicle’s first few years, mainstream SUVs typically lose 15–20 % of their value during the first year and an additional 10–12 % each subsequent year. In practice, a 2014 Discovery that stands at about 8 years old on the market is likely to carry a depreciation of roughly 40–45 % from its original MSRP.

Failing to consider depreciation can lead to under‑ or overestimating a vehicle’s worth – a common mistake when asked, “what is a 2014 LAND-ROVER Discovery worth?” The answer hinges on mileage, service history, optional equipment, and market conditions but generically it sits between 60–70 % of the new price after 8 years.

When buyers compare the 2014 Discovery to competitors, they often look at rivals such as the Range Rover Sport 2014, Ford Expedition, or the Nissan Armada. In a typical head‑to‑head comparison, the Discovery holds its own when the criterion is off‑road performance and family seating capacity. It cheeks up against the 2014 Range Rover Sport, which comes at a higher price point (often 10–15 % above Discovery) but offers more refined interior appointments and a more powerful engine option. The Discovery remains the cheaper alternative for buyers who desire the fourth-row and solid off‑road credibility without the luxury-of‑prestige price tag.

In newer markets, the discovery has become a door‑opener for the premium SUV segment, especially in Australia and New Zealand where off‑road heritage is prized. Consumers see the model as the “value‑priced luxury” and drive-by the same category of cars that includes models like the BMW X5 and Mercedes‑
