Land Rover are introducing new technology features,
updated driver assistance systems, plus more powertrain and design options for
the 2018 Discovery in the States. Prices start from US$ 52,090 for the entry-level
SE model, which now gets Land Rover's InControl Touch Pro sat-nav system with
the larger 10" touchscreen as standard - as does the entire range.
Digital connectivity has also been enhanced thanks
to the introduction of 4G Wi-Fi, as you can now pair up to eight mobile devices
on the move inside your 2018 Discovery.
Other tech-related updates are the 12.3"
Interactive Driver Display TFT instrument cluster as standard on HSE and HSE
Luxury models, and the second-generation Head-Up Display, available as an
option on the previously-mentioned versions.
The 2018MY Discovery gains a
new Bryon Blue colorway. Furthermore, while vehicles with Dynamic and Black
Packs were previously limited to Corris Grey or Narvik Black contrast roofs,
2018 owners can now opt for a body-colored roof for either of these packs at no
extra cost.
Moving on to powertrain options, while previously
exclusive to HSE and HSE luxury models, the Td6 diesel unit is now also
available on the entry-level SE. We're talking about a 3.0-liter turbodiesel,
with 254 HP and 600 Nm of torque, paired to a ZF 8-speed automatic
transmission.
As for the SUV's advanced safety and convenience
tech, 2018MY cars now feature the automaker's Emergency Braking system with
pedestrian detection as standard - previously available only as a standalone
option. Meanwhile, systems such as the optional Advanced Tow Assist or the
seven passenger seating options with Seat Fold carry over from the 2017 model
year.
