Performance
-
ON-ROAD PERFORMANCE
Discovery has been designed to a deliver a confident, comfortable and engaging driving experience to make the miles go by virtually unnoticed. The sublime ride quality is heightened further by Electronic Power Assisted Steering, whilst Corner Brake Control helps to maintain stability when braking on corners by modulating the driver's generated brake pressure.
-
DYNAMIC STABILITY CONTROL
Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) monitors the vehicle’s dynamic behaviour and intervenes if it determines the vehicle is not responding to the driver’s inputs. It helps ensure Discovery delivers a connected, balanced and sure-footed drive. One that you will relish both on and off-road.
LIGHTWEIGHT SUSPENSION
Primarily constructed from lightweight aluminium components, the suspension concept is fully independent, with a wide-spaced double wishbone design at the front and an advanced multi-link layout at the rear.
EFFICIENT TECHNOLOGIES
Discovery enjoys greater efficiencies thanks to such innovations as intelligent Stop/Start technology, the advent of our Ingenium engine, use of lightweight materials and improved aerodynamics. Vehicles equipped with electronic air suspension also benefit from speed lowering where the vehicle automatically lowers to reduce drag when cruising.
Capability
ALL TERRAIN PROGRESS CONTROL
All Terrain Progress Control (ATPC) is a state-of-the-art optional system that enables drivers to set and maintain a steady speed in challenging conditions. Operating like a cruise control system, it functions between 2kph and 30kph, helping to maintain full concentration on steering and finding a path through obstacles.
WADE SENSING
With a class-leading wading depth of up to 900mm, the optional Wade Sensing feature can prove invaluable. Unique to Land Rover, sensors located in the door mirrors give the driver pictorial real-time information about the water’s depth in relation to the vehicle, as well as maximum wading capability via the Touchscreen.
TERRAIN RESPONSE 2
Our unique Terrain Response systems enable the driver to optimise the vehicle’s engine, gearbox, centre differential and chassis systems to match the demands of the terrain, by selecting one of the easily identifiable driving modes. The optional Terrain Response 2* system enhances this by monitoring driving conditions and automatically selecting the correct driving modes.
-
TWIN-SPEED TRANSFER GEARBOX
With additional set of lower gears, this system gives you precise speed and control in the most demanding of instances. The heart of the twin-speed transfer gearbox is the electronic centre differential that offers a 50:50 torque split between front and rear axles with the ability to pre-emptively lock the axles before slip commences.* *Available as a combined option on SD4 engines with air suspension and standard with TD6 and Si6 engines.
ELECTRONIC AIR SUSPENSION
A competent, composed drive is completed by the latest four-corner electronic air suspension system which provides exceptional wheel articulation and poise. Capable of taking on tough situations, this system keeps Discovery stable no matter how rough the terrain. For unprecedented ride quality, it switches heights seamlessly when necessary.
-
TOWING
With a towing capacity of up to 3,500kg*, Discovery’s capabilities are significantly higher than others. Available features include an electrically deployable tow bar, hitch and load assist and a nose load measurement system that helps take towing to a new level.
*Towing capacity varies by market. Please ensure you comply with relevant legislation in your country.
Driver Aids
-
LANE KEEP ASSIST WITH DRIVER CONDITION MONITOR
Lane Keep Assist detects when your vehicle is unintentionally drifting out of your lane, and gently steers you back. Driver Condition Monitor detects if you’re starting to feel drowsy and gives you an early warning when you need to take a break.
-
ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL WITH QUEUE ASSIST
When you’re cruising on the motorway or travelling in slow-moving traffic, this system will keep your vehicle a safe distance from the one in front should it slow or stop, without the need to use the pedals. When the vehicle speeds up again so does Discovery.
-
AUTONOMOUS EMERGENCY BRAKING
If a potential collision is detected between speeds of 5kph and 80kph, the Autonomous Emergency Braking system displays a forward collision warning, giving you time to take action. If a collision is still anticipated and you have taken no action, the system will apply the brakes to help reduce the severity of the possible impact.
-
PARK ASSIST – PARALLEL PARK, PARKING EXIT AND PERPENDICULAR PARK
This system makes parallel and perpendicular parking easier than ever by steering your vehicle into a suitable space. Just select the appropriate gear and control the vehicle’s speed, brake and accelerator pedals. Park Assist will also steer you out of a space, taking all of the stress out of parking through on-screen guidance.
BLIND SPOT ASSIST WITH REVERSE TRAFFIC DETECTION
If your vehicle detects another car in your blind spot when you begin to change lanes, Blind Spot Assist applies an appropriate amount of steering torque that helps to prevent the driver from steering into the approaching vehicle. Using the same technology, Reverse Traffic Detection warns you of vehicles, pedestrians or other hazards approaching from either side of your vehicle while reversing.
-
SURROUND CAMERA SYSTEM
Providing a 360° exterior view via the Touchscreen, this helps with various manoeuvres from parking by a kerb, to getting in and out of tight spaces and junctions with greater ease. You’ll feel more confident negotiating even the trickiest of spaces and situations.
Comfort and Convenience
-
ACTIVITY KEY
An optional extra for SE, HSE and HSE Luxury models, the Activity Key makes living life to the full even easier.

HEATED SEATS
You can look forward to a comfortable driving experience all year round with the option of heated seats across all three rows and heated and cooled front and second row seats. Dependent on your model selection, both the driver and passenger can set their preferred temperature independently via the Touchscreen.
POWERED GESTURE TAILGATE
Powered gesture tailgate allows you to operate the tailgate ‘hands-free’ outside the vehicle without needing to physically touch your vehicle or the smart key. When the smart key is detected, the feature can be operated by a kicking gesture underneath the vehicle using sensors located on either side of the tailgate. A powered inner tailgate is also available, which acts as a seating or loading platform, or an upright luggage retainer.
