The interior is exclusive and rewarding touch with its innovative design maximising all available space. While the truly flexible seating layout offers multiple configurations and up to seven full-size adult seats.
The view’s amazing up here. And it’s good for the passengers as it is for the driver. The interior of Discovery 4 offers both supreme luxury and class-leading flexibility by offering stadium seating and second and third rows of seats that can be folded independently of each other.
Make light work of difficult loads with 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.
Making the passenger experience sublime. Thanks to Discovery 4’s bold, innovative design and upright side profile, head and shoulder room are amongst the best in class. Stadium seating ensures that all occupants share clear views of the surrounding landscape. A priority is given to refinement, including the reduction of noise intrusion and the inclusion of high-quality materials.
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 can reduce stress and fatigue as all key controls are close to hand and information is easy to read.
Making the driving experience effortless. The full-colour Infotainment Touch-screen, standard on high line derivatives, is located at the top of the centre console.
This provides all audio and navigation controls and is easy to use and gives 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 a harman/kardon, premium LOGIC7 system incorporating premium ‘theatre-style audio quality.
Superb levels of power, economy and refinement for Discovery 4.
The 245hp LR-SDV6 3.0 Advanced Sequential Turbo Diesel engine used 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.
A 210hp version of the LR-TDV6 3.0 Diesel engine is also available for Discovery 4 Commercial models.
The LR-SDV6 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 corresponding greater amount of fuel to be injected for increased power output and economy. This is a two turbocharged, 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 2,500rmp.Above 5,500rpm 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 improve 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 Both The Diesel Engines achieve 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. Both engines use 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.
Competitive 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 diesel engines offer optimum performance and refinement combined with 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 environment, on steep inclines and wading through rivers.
Dynamic performance on-road. Discovery 4 features advanced technology that helps keep the driver connected with the road and provides an enhanced, more engaged 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.
Discovery 4 also features Roll Stability Control, an advanced safety system which intervenes to help maintain stability. For the keener driver variable ratio steering is fitted for both manoeuvrability at low – speed and driver confidence at higher –speeds. The result is outstanding , car – like handling. Importantly, there is no compromise in extreme axle articulation and, consequently, the off – road ability of the vehicle.
*Fitted to many models as standard, please see your Land Rover dealership for further details.
Short front and rear overhangs. Exceptional ground clearance. The power and torque from the LR-SDV6 3.0 Advanced Sequential Turbo Diesel engine. They all make contributions to Discovery 4’s superior off –road capability. And 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, 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, complements all-terrain performance with energy saving technology.
