![]() ![]() Other electronic systems are intended to improve efficiency - the engines feature a 'Smart' alternator that only charges the battery when engine load is low, thus helping to reduce fuel consumption when the engine is working harder. The car gains some electronic systems from the Range Rover lineup, such as the optional 'Surround Camera System' - a series of cameras located in the headlamps, wing mirrors, and rear tailgate handle which can display their images on the centre console screen to improve visibility. The stated aim of the interior redesign was to lift the vehicle upmarket, with higher-spec models now aimed at the luxury and executive markets. The interior also has a new centre console, which includes redesigned and simplified switches and controls. The Discovery also has a new seat design and a wider range of available interior materials - some previously only seen in Range Rover models. The analogue temperature/fuel gauges of the previous model and the electronic information display are replaced by a single TFT screen capable of displaying information in a variety of modes and formats. ![]() The instrument cluster is updated with redesigned analogue speedometer and tachometer gauges for improved clarity. The Discovery 4 also features a redesigned interior (in keeping with the new styles introduced elsewhere in the LR range for 2010). The 3.0-litre Gen III model (only with automatic transmission) is also available in the GS trim level. The automatic transmission was an option on this model. Unlike the Discovery 3 base model, this was equipped with air suspension and the Terrain Response system. The 2.7-litre TDV6 engine was available in Europe on the basic 2.7 GS passenger and 2010 Commercial ranges. ![]() Other new electronic systems include Trailer Stability Assist which can adjust the throttle and brakes to prevent a dangerously swaying trailer. The system is also 'retuned' to account for the new engines and gearboxes with their different torque characteristics. The Terrain Response system remains but with two new features - the 'Sand' mode incorporates a new traction control mode to prevent loss of traction when starting off and stopping in soft sand, and the 'Rock Crawl' mode gains a feature that applies gentle brake pressure at low (less than walking pace) speeds to improve grip and stability on slick rock. The Discovery 4 retains its predecessor's fully independent air suspension with cross-linking when off-road and the twin-range transfer gearbox with an electronic infinitely-variable locking centre differential. As before, a similar locking rear differential is available. The Stability Control System now includes a programme that detects the onset of understeer and applies the brakes. Other technical changes include the fitting of the more powerful brakes from the Range Rover Sport and thicker anti-roll bars to improve on-road handling. It includes taller gearing to take advantage of the new engines' greater torque output and an updated lock-up system to further reduce fuel consumption. ft).Īn improved version of the ZF six-speed automatic/sequential gearbox is now fitted.The Gen III version of the V8 petrol engine (available in markets outside the UK such as North America, Russia, Australia, and some EU countries) is now a 5-litre unit with Direct Petrol Injectiondeveloping 385 bhp (287 kW) and 520 N ft) whilst reducing CO2 emissions by 10%.The new version features advanced twin-sequential turbochargers where a Variable geometry turbocharger is used at low engine speeds, with a second standard turbo is brought online at higher engine speeds. This system provides greater output than the older engine, with 241 bhp (180 kW) and 600 N The TDV6 Gen III is a 3.0-litre development of the 2.7-litre engine used in the D3. The D4 receives two engines fromJaguar Land Rover's 'Gen III' range. The majority of the changes are mechanical. ![]() Optional Daylight Running Lamps can be specified whilst LED lights feature prominently in both front and rear lamp units. Using the same Integrated Body Frame structure, the new Discovery has altered front and rear light units and a restyled front grille and bumper to adopt the same smoother, rounder style as also adapted for the 2010 Range Rover and Range Rover Sport. The Discovery 4 also retains the body-coloured wheel arches and bumpers as the late Discovery 3s (early D3s had black plastic trim). The Discovery 4 (called the LR4 in North America) is an updated version of the Discovery 3. The current Discovery 4 is marketed in North America as the LR4. There have been four generations of the vehicle, the first of which was introduced in 1989. The Land Rover Discovery is a mid-size luxury SUV, from the British car maker Land Rover. ![]()
