ALL-NEW DISCOVERY

2017

Ever since the first Land Rover vehicle was conceived in
1947, we have built vehicles that challenge what is possible.
These in turn have challenged their owners to explore
new territories and conquer difficult terrains. Our vehicles
epitomize the values of the designers and engineers who
have created them. Each one instilled with iconic British
design cues, delivering capability with composure. Which is
how we continue to break new ground, defy conventions and
encourage each other to go further. Land Rover truly enables
you to make more of your world, to go above and beyond.

INTRODUCTION

THE CONCEPT OF THE
ALL-NEW DISCOVERY

Ever since it first took to the streets, mud tracks and deserts
in 1989, the Land Rover Discovery has blazed its own trail.
From Alaska to Zambia, it has become synonymous with
capability and versatility, whether off-road or in the city.
The All-New Discovery takes those characteristics, together
with several innovations pioneered by Land Rover, to
uncharted territories.

The All-New Discovery is a quantum leap forward in SUV
Design. A radical and sharply focused approach to embodying
Land Rover’s vision of the most versatile and capable SUV.

The All-New Discovery combines the flexibility of a beautifully
crafted full-size seven seat* interior, packed full of ingenious
design details, with dramatic proportions, clean modern lines
and a dynamic silhouette.

So wherever you want to go, whoever and whatever you want
to take, the All-New Discovery is every vehicle you’ll ever need.

*Available as part of a package on SE and HSE and standard on HSE Luxury.

DESIGN

EXTERIOR

The vehicle’s exterior design is a re-imagining of Land Rover for the
next generation.

The All-New Discovery is beautifully proportioned for a full-size SUV, with
sleek, wrap-around headlights and tail lights combining with short front
and rear overhangs to reduce visual length. A pronounced windshield
angle, rising belt line and elegant, smoothly contoured shape, result in a
streamlined and dynamic form which combines aerodynamic efficiency with
exceptional space. The body-colored c-pillar, stepped roof and asymmetric
element on the rear license plate panel all refer to the rich lineage of
previous Land Rover model designs.

DESIGN

11

Clean flush elements, a dynamic rising waistline and wrap-around lights convey a strong sense
of modernity. Beautifully designed LED headlights have been developed to wrap-around the
side of the vehicle to enable the indicators to be more visible. LED headlights are standard on
the HSE and HSE Luxury and available as an option on the SE.

The All-New Discovery introduces a new level of refinement as demonstrated by its beautifully
crafted and sculpted surfaces. The distinctive roof and feature lines rising towards the rear
of the vehicle give it an assertive, recognizable stance that is enhanced by the front and
rear design.

Sophisticated and urbane, the All-New Discovery epitomizes the most compelling
in contemporary British design.

DESIGN

13

INTERIOR

The highly desirable interior is a re-imagining of classic Land Rover design elements
with the striking use of strong horizontal and vertical lines connecting through the
main dashboard beam. The use of materials such as premium leather, authentic
wood and metal trim, coupled with focused craftsmanship and precision, create an
air of cultured modern living.

The 8" or 10" infotainment Touchscreen* helps you connect to the outside world
and puts a wealth of entertainment and information at your fingertips. The astute
use of both seating design and storage space helps deliver exceptional capability
for you, your family and friends.

*Driving while distracted can result in loss of vehicle control. Do not operate, adjust or view the navigation
or multimedia systems under conditions that will affect your safety or the safety of others. Only use mobile
phones and other devices, even with voice commands, when it is safe to do so.

finished handcrafted wood veneers, Noble Chrome details, Brushed Aluminum
finishers and crafted stitching can be incorporated throughout the interior for
added luxury.

INTELLIGENT

SEAT FOLD

On HSE and HSE Luxury, with third row seats,
there's a choice of ways you can easily deploy
the seats with our Remote Intelligent Seat Fold:
from the Touchscreen
cargo area or via our innovative app from your
smartphone. Imagine standing in a grocery line,
using your smartphone app to reconfigure the
seats in your Discovery to accommodate your
shopping bags plus your children. Ready for you
when you return to your vehicle with the press
of a few buttons.

The powered seat folding mechanism uses an
intelligent control system which ensures the seats,
including the headrests, fold away seamlessly and
conveniently. The system understands when seats
are occupied or have heavy items on them and,
when folding, automatically adjusts their position
to prevent interference.

STORAGE

The All-New Discovery is brimming with thoughtful spaces in which to store
away items you need to keep in your vehicle. From the upper and lower glove
box to center armrest storage with an optional cooler compartment, you’ll find
space in places you simply wouldn’t expect.

The center armrest storage box lid can hinge back 180º to create a flat tray,
should second row passengers require more storage, while the door bins
can also accommodate one liter bottles in the front and half liter bottles in the
second row. Standard on HSE and HSE Luxury, a neatly integrated retractable
hook can be used to hang a small shopping bag in the front passenger footwell.

When third row seats* are selected, third row passengers benefit from individual
storage spaces including within the side panel. In fact, in every seat there’s more
than enough space for even the most demanding of families.

*Available as part of package on HSE and fitted as standard on HSE Luxury.

POWERED
INNER TAILGATE

The All-New Discovery features a powered inner tailgate, which when
deployed can provide a platform for use at social and sporting events
coupled with protection from the elements under the open tailgate.
This platform also allows for easier loading and acts as a retainer
when the cargo space is filled. Powered inner tailgate is standard
on the HSE and HSE Luxury, and available as an option on SE.

POWERED
GESTURE TAILGATE

Powered gesture tailgate allows you to operate the tailgate (both to
open and close) from outside the vehicle without needing to physically
touch the vehicle or the smart key.

Provided the smart key is detected, the tailgate may be operated by
foot movement underneath the rear corner of the vehicle.

Two sensors mounted under the corners of the tailgate allow curbside
operation, rather than needing to be immediately behind the vehicle.
And as the system is compatible with towing solutions, you can still
open and close the tailgate with the least amount of fuss.

Additionally, a button located inside the tailgate allows the tailgate to
be closed automatically.

CARGO CAPACITY

With a luggage-devouring 85* cu.ft. of space behind the first row of seats,
the All-New Discovery welcomes an active lifestyle. There’s a generous 45* cu.ft.
of space behind the second row of seats. Even when you utilize all seven seats you
can still fit up to three carry-on bags behind the available third row. When it comes
to carrying any load, having the option to fold all second and third row seats gives
you more options, making life that much easier.

DRIVING TECHNOLOGY

TESTING

Before any vehicle can carry the Land Rover badge, rigorous testing has been carried out to establish the highest levels of luxury, performance and capability.

SUSPENSION

You’re unlikely to push any Land Rover vehicle harder than
we have. To guarantee a breadth of dynamic capability,
both on and off-road, vehicles have been exposed to ten
years of the most extreme driving stresses in a fraction of
the time using our dynamic test rig.

OFF-ROAD

From the icy proving grounds of Arjeplog, Sweden, to
Dubai’s unforgiving desert sands, we ensure our legendary
all-terrain performance is innate in every vehicle. Prototypes
are developed across approximately 5,300 miles of the
most demanding off-road routes.

WIND SPEED

The All-New Discovery was developed in wind tunnels
and a suite of climatic chambers to recreate some of the
most challenging aerodynamic conditions it will face.
Only by pushing all systems to their limits do we develop
true reliability.

SEMI-ANECHOIC CHAMBER

In the ‘neutral sound’ of our semi-anechoic chamber we
precisely expose the cabin to a range of frequencies and
vibrations, making certain that the All-New Discovery
sounds refined at every speed and across every surface.

HOT AND COLD CLIMATE

In real world environments and our climate chambers,
we freeze vehicles to -40°F and bake them to 120°F.
Key functions and systems are then scrutinized to our
exacting standards. So even in the most remote locations,
comfort and peace of mind are never far away.

MONSOON

Using our monsoon simulator, we drench vehicles with
nearly 19,000 gallons of specially dyed water, while tilting
it by as much as 45°, checking for even the slightest leak
with UV lights. Ensuring each vehicle can endure the wettest
conditions and stay dry inside the cabin.
