The new Discovery 4 – the most capable Land Rover ever

New Discovery 4. Bold, flexible and more luxurious. Instantly recognisable as a Land Rover, it features a new progressive, more contemporary exterior. A fresh attitude that gives new Discovery 4 a more refined, more modern presence on-road and off-road.

“The outgoing Discovery 3 has well over 100 international awards to its name. But we've found ways to improve virtually every aspect of the vehicle's design and engineering – some subtle, some major. New design signals comprehensive engineering change under the skin, and now gives us the Discovery 4," says Phil Popham, managing director.

The new, fourth generation of Land Rover's supremely versatile seven-seat vehicle gains a new name – Discovery 4 – to go with its powerful and highly efficient new TDV6 diesel engine, fresh exterior identity and more premium cabin. The class-leading breadth of capability is extended even further with dynamic improvements for both road and off-road driving, and Land Rover has added a battery of user-friendly new technologies and features.

New Discovery 4 features striking new headlamp styling, incorporating the unique Land Rover
‘night-time’ signature, a new two bar lattice grille and a new re-profiled front bumper with
improved aerodynamics.

The sportier new lights help give the vehicle new character, and include LED technology front and rear. The sophisticated new front headlights include High Beam Assist, switching on or off, as conditions require.

"The changes and upgrades for Discovery 4 transform many aspects of the previous generation, at the same time as enhancing the flexibility and versatility for which Discovery is famous. It can carry huge loads in its spacious interior, climb mountains, cruise across continents, haul trailers of up to 3.5 tonnes, or transport seven family and friends in comfort. I can't think of a more versatile vehicle anywhere," says Phil Popham.

New levels of power, economy and refinement. A new engine for new Discovery 4,setting new standards for performance. The new LR-TDV6 3.0 Advanced Sequential Turbo Diesel Engine uses the latest materials and sequential turbochargers to optimise responsiveness by delivering increased torque at very low revs. This is one of the most technically advanced diesel engines in the world and uses unique, parallel sequential turbochargers for the first time in a V-engine. The high-technology 2.7 litre TDV6 Diesel provides smooth torque distribution, flexibility, refinement and economy thanks to the latest common rail technology and innovative materials.

Land Rover's engineers have also transformed the on-road ride and handling for the new generation Discovery 4, and even improved on the near-legendary off-road capabilities of its predecessor. The comprehensive changes include new suspension components, revised steering, larger brakes, improved traction control, and enhancements to the award winning Terrain ResponseTM system, which helps optimise the vehicle for virtually all on-road or off-road driving situations.

Twin-turbos – immensely efficient, highly responsive

A key feature of the new LR-TDV6 3.0 is the unique, parallel sequential turbocharger system, the first of its type to be fitted to a V-engine anywhere in the world. Delivering high torque throughout the entire engine-rev range, improved throttle response and low CO2 emissions, the twin-turbochargers work sequentially to provide unrivalled response and best-in-class torque at low engine speeds, while also packing a huge punch at higher speeds.

More control in the bends

A refinement to the understeer control system helps automatically slow the vehicle if taking a bend too fast, enhancing driver control.

The system operates according to steering inputs from the driver. In extreme cases, automatic braking intervenes to reduce the vehicle speed, with the braking pressure level applied according to the steering inputs. Automatic braking up to ‘emergency stop’ may be applied, if the inputs demand.

Updates for award-winning Terrain ResponseTM and Hill Descent Control

For Discovery 4, Land Rover's award-winning Terrain
ResponseTM system gains new features and refinements,
further extending the vehicle's all-terrain capability. Terrain
ResponseTM optimises the vehicle set-up for virtually all
on-road or off-road driving situations, with five different settings
to suit different terrains.

The interior is completely redesigned, with a transformed dash and centre console, new seats and an array of new, user friendly features.

"The new interior not only has a much more premium look
and feel, it's also gained improvement to its functionality.
The new console inclines towards the driver, the switchgear and controls fall more readily to hand, and new LED Interior Mood Lighting on HSE models helps make the cabin a more pleasant and more easily used space after dark. We've made the interior environment more premium too, with smoother surfaces, softer materials and close attention to critical details such as stitching," says Gerry McGovern, Design Director.

New features available for the Discovery 4 include a Portable Audio Interface, DAB radio, a new five-camera 'surround' system, for easier
parking and towing, and a new key system which offers Keyless Entry
and Push Button Start.

The centrepiece of driver information is the new instrument panel with its 5 inch Thin Film Transistor (TFT) display. It shows key vehicle information and can be personalised using a simple menu system controlled by the thumb controls on the steering wheel. Switches for other functions, including cruise control, remote audio and phone, are conveniently located below the thumb controls.

The new Portable Audio Interface allows connectivity to an array of personal audio storage devices, USB sticks and MP3 players, enabling the various devices’ functions to be accessed and controlled via the facia-mounted touch-screen system.

New seating is introduced for rows one and two, with a new, extended front seat cushion profile to improve support and seating comfort and, for the first time, the front seats feature height-adjustable head restraints in place of the traditional seat mounted grab handles. For convenience, the electric
seat memory controls are relocated to the door casing.

New Interior Mood Lighting adds the finishing touch to the interior, with the introduction of white LED’s to cast subtle halos around the metal-plated interior door handles and pockets. The fascia and centre console area, complete with soft-stitching, and switchgear highlighted in "Noble" finishers, also benefit from the interior mood lighting when vehicle lights are on.

Technology made simple

"The Discovery 4 is packed with easy-to-operate and useful features, not technology for technology's sake. The aim throughout is to simplify the operation, to help make journeys more relaxing and stress-free" Stuart Frith, Chief Programme Engineer

A new 5-inch Thin Film Transistor (TFT) driver information screen is also introduced with Discovery 4. Sitting within the re-designed instrument cluster, the message centre display ensures key information is communicated in a clean, simple and user-friendly manner.

Cutting edge user-friendly technologies

Outside the vehicle, convenient and relevant new systems enhance safety and security.

The new front headlights incorporate high beam assist technology. This can automatically switch on high beam headlights where external light levels are below the system’s threshold. Importantly, the system is also designed to detect preceding and approaching traffic, and in a split second will automatically switch back to low beam to avoid dazzling others.

The new remote entry key emits the signal required for passive entry into the vehicle. Push Button start of the vehicle. Sophisticated sensors recognise the presence of the key in the vehicle, confirm security credentials and then
accept the ‘start’ command.

No less than five digital cameras make up the new surround camera system, relaying to the touch-screen a near 360-degree view. The cameras function immediately the vehicle is started, and can be used
at speeds up to 11mph, with options for selecting and zooming in to assist with close quarter parking and with towing.
