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.
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.
Also new are three exhilarating exterior body colours, Nara Bronze, Ipanema Sand and Bali Blue, which join the distinctive, new Discovery 4 line-up.
New Discovery 4. Always original with its distinctive profile, key design features become even more integrated and premium.
There are body coloured painted door mirrors, as well as a new Oberon finish for door handles. And new jewel-like rear lamps, new front fenders and the option of new 19 inch or 20 inch lightweight alloy wheels.
Tough luxury. The sumptuous, more tactile all-new premium interior for new Discovery 4 provides increased levels of craftsmanship and comfort.
Meticulous attention to design and detail, such as the seats, that is without compromise.
Materials are more premium, creating a superior ambience of quality and prestige.
Fine touches, such as double stitching on the facia, are straight forward expressions
of the vehicle’s prestige.
The Terrain Response® control is easier to reach in its new, more prominent position at the base of the centre console.
Door casings have also been redesigned for added practicality.
And then there are those small, practical details that just get better and better: stowage space around the centre console is extra generous; the useful door pockets are improved and, for HSE models, benefit from their own dedicated lighting.
There is a new centre console with an integrated, flowing design. There is a new In-Car
Entertainment system: a new, optional full-colour, Infotainment Touch-screen and new more comfortable, more supportive seats both front and rear. Ergonomics are
improved too.
Driver information is accessed more intuitively and is presented in a clearer, more immediate format. Menus and graphics are upgraded, while functionality is increased.
Make light work of difficult loads with new Discovery 4’s two-piece, asymmetric tailgate design. Both upper and lower tailgates are made from resilient lightweight aluminium.
In fact, the lower tailgate is so strong that, when the vehicle is parked, it can support the weight of two adults and be used as a viewing platform.
Alternatively, the lower section can be used as a seat with the upper section providing a canopy. When fully open, the tailgate gives impressive access to the rear of the vehicle and comes into its own when loading large, bulky or heavy objects.
The asymmetric portion of the lower tailgate offers a reduced reach-in distance when
open and a lower load height when closed.
Proper grown-up seating. As many as seven adults can travel in complete comfort and enjoy a full-sized, forward facing seat, generous legroom and wide-opening doors for easy access.
The flexible, versatile seating layout offers multiple configurations to suit almost every conceivable use.
Even the rear most passengers can enjoy spectacular views from the glass alpine roofs which feature as part of the optional sunroof.
While the combined reflective properties of the glass panel and interior sunblinds keep everyone cool and the cabin light and airy.
Making the passenger experience sublime. Thanks to new Discovery 4’s bold, innovative design and upright side profile, there is more head and shoulder room than in competitor vehicles. Stadium seating ensures that all occupants share clear views of the surrounding landscape.
Further strides have also taken place with regards to refinement, including the reduction of noise intrusion and the inclusion of new, high-quality materials.
New Discovery 4 features the legendary Land Rover command driving position, which gives better visibility over the traffic ahead for spotting hazards and helps parking and off-road driving.
The command driving position brings a sense of control and reduces stress and fatigue as all key controls are close to hand and information is easy to read.
Making the driving experience effortless. The new, full-colour Infotainment Touch-screen, standard on high line derivatives, is located at the top of the new centre console.
This provides all audio and navigation controls and is easier to use and gives more intuitive access. It reduces the number of conventional controls required on the console and frees up space for an eye-catching analogue clock, which adds to the premium
ambience of the interior.
A choice of In-Car Entertainment options are available including harman/kardon®, premium LOGIC7® system incorporating premium ‘theatre-style’ audio quality.

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.
THE NEW LR-TDV6 3.0 ADVANCED SEQUENTIAL TURBO DIESEL ENGINE uses a sequential mode boosting system to increase the air density entering the engine’s cylinders, enabling a correspondingly greater amount of fuel to be injected for increased power output and economy.
This is a two turbocharger, two-stage system, which makes the engine more responsive as well as delivering class-leading torque and power. The primary stage, variable nozzle turbine operates over the entire rev range.
Unlike in most single boost systems, the primary stage provides maximum performance up to 2,500rpm. Above 2,500rpm the secondary stage, fixed geometry turbine switches into operation splitting the gas flow between the two turbochargers.
Engine upgrades benefit from the latest investment in e_TERRAIN TECHNOLOGIES,
specifically to reduce CO2 emissions and fuel consumption.
An Intelligent Power Management System includes Smart Regenerative Charging so the battery is charged when it is most economical to do so.
Idle speeds are reduced and a ‘metering mode’ added to the diesel fuel injection system, delivering fuel at the exact rate needed - no more; no less.
THE FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM on the new diesel engine achieves high standards of durability, combustion performance and refinement.
The ultra-precise machining of high-pressure injectors ensures a fine-quality spray of fuel into the combustion chambers and optimises combustion conditions both at cruising speed and during acceleration.
The engine uses a high-pressure, steel fuel rail. Fuel in the rail is detected by a high-pressure sensor which controls flow into the rail by adjusting an electromagnetic valve in the high-pressure fuel pumps’ outlet.
INCREASED SERVICE INTERVALS AND REDUCED COST OF OWNERSHIP are the result of the very latest design, engineering and manufacturing techniques, as well as the use of technologically advanced materials and components.
The new diesel engine offers optimum performance combined with premium refinement and significant reductions in Noise, Vibration and Harshness (NVH).
All engines have been developed to cope with the specific requirements of a Land Rover product: strength and durability when operating in dusty environments, on steep inclines and wading through rivers.
A new, cutting edge development is the introduction of optional Tow Assist, a next-generation reversing aid that predicts the rearward trajectory of both vehicle and trailer.
This helps the driver perform more accurate manoeuvres and is selected from the Touch-screen menu. Wide-view cameras on the vehicle give a clear field of vision; guidelines
are superimposed over the resulting image to highlight the suggested reversing path for vehicle and trailer.
Other towing aids are Tow Hitch Assist and Trailer Stability Assist**. The latter detects potentially dangerous trailer oscillations by monitoring vehicle behaviour such as a slight
swing in response to trailer movements.
It can initiate engine torque reduction and intervenes using the brakes to bring
vehicle and trailer back under control. Tow Hitch Assist helps hitching a trailer to the tow ball. Tow Assist and Tow Hitch Assist are features of the optional Surround Camera System and are operated via the Touch-screen in vehicles fitted with trailer electrics.
Tow Stability Assist features on all derivatives.
(**If towing for commercial gain, please refer to your dealership for information relating to digital tachograph installation.)
Dynamic performance on-road. New Discovery 4 features advanced technology that helps keep the driver connected with the road and provides an enhanced, more engaging and entertaining drive.
It makes getting behind the wheel and heading for the open road pure pleasure.
Four-corner electronic air suspension*** maintains a smooth, constant ride regardless of the distribution of passengers and size of load. Brakes are upgraded to handle the extra power and torque of the new engines.
New Discovery 4 also features Roll Stability Control, an advanced safety system which
intervenes to help maintain stability. For the keener driver, new variable ratio steering
features for greater manoeuvrability at low speed and improved driver confidence at
higher speeds.
Improvements to the suspension geometry include a new, stiffer front anti-roll bar. The result is outstanding, car-like handling that does not compromise extreme axle articulation and, consequently, the off-road ability of the vehicle.
(*** Fitted to many models as standard, please ask us for more information.)
Short front and rear overhangs. Exceptional ground clearance.
Increased performance and torque from the new LR-TDV6 3.0 Advanced Sequential Turbo Diesel engine makes major contributions to new Discovery 4’s superior off-road capability. And they help enable maximum manoeuvrability over some of the most difficult terrains.
Long-travel, all-independent suspension allows extreme wheel articulation. Ruts and rocks, for example, are conquered with ease.
Optional four-corner cross-linked air suspension provides class-leading car-like ride and handling, as well as a constant, level ride height, irrespective of the number of passengers or load distribution.
Ride height can also be raised by up to 125mm to clear tricky obstacles, or lowered by 50mm for easy access and loading.
Whatever the surface, new Discovery 4 takes it on with confidence.
The Terrain Response® dial, standard on derivatives with air suspension, gives access to over 60 years of Land Rover 4x4 expertise and state-of-the-art dynamic technology.
Enhanced with Land Rover’s latest e_TERRAIN TECHNOLOGIES, specifically to reduce CO2 emissions, Discovery 4’s Intelligent Power Management System, shared with the Range Rover and Range Rover Sport, compliments all Terrain performance with energy saving technology.
Cruising on tarmac, driving over grass, gravel or snow, taking on mud and ruts, crossing sand and crawling over rocks, Terrain Response® is your own off-road driving expert. Simply turn the new, more conveniently positioned dial and new Discovery 4’s engine, transmission, suspension, throttle and traction settings reconfigure for optimum driveability in all conditions.
New Discovery 4 takes this technology a further step forward and includes new Sand Launch Control and enhanced traction during Rock Crawl Pre-charge which is a function that applies a small amount of brake pressure to each brake calliper during low speeds to provide even more control during very low speed driving.
The new Sand Launch Control system helps prevent the wheels spinning when moving off from a standstill and the vehicle ‘digging in’. Once the vehicle reaches the appropriate speed the slip threshold is returned to its normal state.
