Recently, a client in Nairobi reached out to us through our car sourcing form on the Kenya car export page, specifically looking to import a 2018 Land Rover Discovery from the UK. They had their eyes on the HSE Luxury trim, which combines incredible off-road capabilities with the highest level of comfort and tech.
Here’s a look at how we managed to find the perfect match and get it safely delivered to Mombasa, ready for them to enjoy on Kenya’s roads.
Finding the Right Land Rover Discovery HSE Luxury: A Quick but Thorough Search
When the sourcing request came in, our team knew we had to be spot-on. Our client wanted a 2018 Land Rover Discovery 2.0 SD4 HSE Luxury, and we set out to find the exact model that met their expectations.

This particular Land Rover was fitted with the 2.0-litre SD4 diesel engine, delivering an impressive 240 PS. It’s the kind of SUV that can tackle tough terrain yet glide smoothly through Nairobi’s urban landscape. With an advanced 4WD system and Land Rover’s well-known Terrain Response, it’s built for the adventurous spirit—perfect for a weekend getaway to Naivasha or Tsavo.
