In addition, most equipment can be added at extra cost to less expensive Discoveries. Land Rover offers the new Discovery at four increasingly lavish equipment levels, each available with any engine. (Power outputs and all other Land Rover Discovery specifications are available from the Cars Covered menu, under the main image on this page.) What key features do I get if I spend more?
You can have dual-range gearing with any Discovery Sd4 or Td6.Įvery Discovery uses an eight-speed auto gearbox from German maker ZF. That figure is a lot lower than its predecessor recorded in the superseded Discovery, in part because the new car is much lighter. The Td6 uses 7.2 litres/100km on the official test. You might notice the strength of the Td6 more with a significant load on board or when towing, however. While it offers more power on paper than the Sd4, performance feels about the same in general driving. This V6 is a revised version of the SDV6 from the previous generation. Indeed, a Discovery with the Sd4 engine gives little away to a Discovery fitted with the third engine available, the Td6. With an Sd4 engine, the new car performs much like the more powerful, SDV6, versions of the previous Discovery. With a Td4 engine, this much lighter new car will accelerate about as well as the less powerful of the previous Discoveries, the six-cylinder TDV6.
It makes about 30 per cent more power than the Td4.īoth four-cylinders are newly developed by Land Rover, using its latest Ingenium technology. The more powerful four-cylinder uses two turbochargers and is designated the Sd4.
This is the Td4 engine, and it is not available with dual-range gearing. The less costly of the fours is also the less powerful, relying on a single turbocharger. The 2.0-litre fours use less fuel than the V6, and there is little between them: both use less than 6.5 litres/100km on the official test (city and country combined), which is an extraordinarily good figure for such a big 4WD vehicle.Ĭhoosing your four-cylinder diesel therefore comes down to how much you want to spend, how hard you want your Discovery to go, and how far off the beaten track you want to get. What body styles are there?įive-door 4WD-style wagon only, with seating for five or (optionally) seven people.Įvery Discovery drives all four wheels at all times. At extra cost however, you can add Land Rover’s InControl Apps, a smartphone integration system which works in a broadly similar way.

That you cannot control smartphone apps from your touchscreen via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Even the third seat-row is an option costing thousands of dollars. How much you paid for your Discovery by the time you had added the features you wanted. You can also read our review of the Discovery that this car replaced in August 2017. This big four-wheel drive wagon is also very smooth and comfortable – it feels like a luxury car to ride in – and yet it remains extremely capable off-road, and can carry and tow heavy loads. The new-generation Land Rover Discovery can seat seven people in comfort but feels easier to handle, and more nimble, than its size and tall stance suggest.
