Here is the new version of Land Rover Discovery 4. A Refined, torquey engines, well equipped, spacious interior car with the existing 2.7-litre V6 twin turbo diesel and new, more powerful 3.0-litre version. New features available for the Land Rover 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.
For me LR have missed the point here but making the Discovery a bit too like a luxury car, I would rather see at least an option for a ‘basic’ interior that I won’t mind getting my muddy boots on and letting the dog romp around in while I hook up the horse box (this is in my imagination I have neither a dog or a want to be hurled around the country side on a frankly scary animal!) but I am sure you get what I mean.
What is most striking about the Discovery is its supple ride. The combination of air-suspension and a 2.5 ton kerbweight allows the Land Rover to steamroller even the poorest road surfaces. The new, fourth generation of Land Rover’s supremely versatile seven-seat vehicle gains a new name – Land Rover 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.
The 2.7-litre has won many admirers as one of the most refined diesels ever made. The new, twin turbocharger LR-TDV6 3.0 boasts substantial increases in both power – up 29 percent to 245PS – and torque, up 36 percent to 600Nm. The ability to deliver maximum torque at just 2,000rpm, combined with unparalleled throttle response, substantially enhances the Discovery’s already acclaimed ability both on and off-road. A new common rail fuel-injection system delivers up to five injections on each cycle at a pressure of 2000bar. Each injector tip is perforated by seven holes through which finely atomised fuel is sprayed into the cylinders. The high-pressure injection increases power, improves economy and reduces both CO2 and particulate emissions. New, high-speed piezo injectors are designed to keep injection noise to a minimum.
