New Land Rover Discovery (USA)
Land Rover displayed publicly, and for the first
time in the U.S. the all-new Discovery in Venice, California ahead of its LA
Auto Show debut, alongside the brand's latest lifestyle gear for activities
like surfing, boating, cycling and fitness.
The new Discovery is based on Land Rover’s
lightweight aluminum construction, which helps it cut approximately 1,000 lbs
from the weight of the outgoing LR4. It still offers room for seven, thanks to
the (optional) third row of seats.
The engine range for the US includes two V6s, a
supercharged 3.0-litre petrol unit with 335hp and a 3.0-litre diesel with 254 hp
and 440 lb-ft of torque. Land Rover claims the new Discovert to offer up to 14
percent greater fuel economy for petrol-powered models.
Pricing will kick-off at US$ 49,900, with the new
Land Rover Discovery to also be present at the upcoming LA Auto Show.
