Land Rover has been launched the new version of The Land Rover Discovery 4. An upgrade version of its successor Land Rover Discovery 3.
As ever, the big Brit looks just as at home in a farmer’s field as it does outside a posh hotel Buyers get the choice of three trim levels – GS, XS and HSE. Externally there’s little to separate the models, although the entry-level 2.7-litre GS gets 18-inch alloys in place of the 19-inch items on other versions. There was always something endearing about older Land Rover Discovery models. On virtually any objective calculation, they were way off the pace but the way they managed to triumph over considerable adversity was almost Shackletonesque. The third row folds into the boot floor when not needed, leaving a useful 1,192 carrying capacity. Land Rover’s designers have been at work inside, with a revised dashboard, instruments, switchgear and steering wheel. All models come loaded with standard kit, including climate control, a heated windscreen and air suspension.
2011 Land Rover Discovery 4 only two engines are available – the existing 2.7-litre V6 twin turbo diesel and new, more powerful 3.0-litre version. The smaller unit is only available in the entry-level GS and is mated to a six-speed manual gearbox as standard, while all other versions get the larger powerplant and smooth shifting six-ratio automatic transmission. 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. A few of the features of the new Land Rover Discovery 4 include a surround camera system, gradient release, tow assist, high beam assist and Keyless Entry.
