New Land Rover Discovery prices and specs Interior storage includes a hidden cubby behind the air-con controls, a centre console bin that can accommodate four iPads and a flush-fitting ‘curry hook’ in the front passenger footwell, designed to keep shopping bags upright and secure. There are up to nine USB ports on board, along with four 12V charging points. It links up smartphone apps so they can be used through the main display, and incorporates a 4G WiFi hotspot for up to eight devices. The fascia is dominated by the new infotainment screen - which can be as large as 10 inches, if the InControl Touch Pro system is specified. However, Land Rover hopes to satisfy the needs of buyers who like to sit on the bootlid with the Powered Inner Tailgate, a 285mm section that flips out from under the floor and is capable of supporting up to 300kg. In a controversial move, the existing Discovery’s split tailgate has been dropped and replaced by a conventional one-piece hatchback. Folding down the third, fourth and fifth seats increases the Discovery’s load bay to an impressive 2,406 litres. Its boot capacity with the third row in place is 258 litres, but with only two rows in place there’s a useful 1,137 litres of storage. ![]() In the UK, the Discovery will be sold as a seven-seat model only. Land Rover Discovery cabin and practicality There's also Trailer Light Test, which ‘pulses’ trailer lights from within the vehicle, allowing the driver to check they’re working without help from another person. Land Rover is keen to keep the Discovery’s appeal as a towing vehicle, and it gets a couple of new tech features to help in this area.Īdvanced Tow Assist is a new feature Land Rover is banking on making the new Discovery one of the best tow cars on sale, and it uses semi-autonomous technology to split the task of manoeuvring trailers, horseboxes and caravans between car and driver.Īctivating the system means that the car will steer itself, automatically calculating where to go and how much steering lock is needed while the driver focuses solely on what’s hitched to the back, guiding the trailer directly through the dial on the centre console. This risks alienating existing long-term Discovery enthusiasts, who may consider the new car too upmarket for daily abuse like towing horseboxes and caravans. Gerry McGovern’s design team at Land Rover has given the new edition of the 26-year-old model a more sophisticated, softer-edged look that moves it away from the blunt styling that’s gone before and brings it into line with the Discovery Sport. New Land Rover Discovery design and dimensions Low depreciation is good news for car buyers, as it leads to improved rates on finance deals - particularly PCP agreements. Even the desirable Volvo XC90 only retains 54.9%. Crucially, though, it outstrips the competition by quite some margin - an Audi Q7, for example, would only retain about 46.6% of its initial purchase price after three years. That's a mild improvement on the previous model, which even towards the end of its life would retain over 56% of its value. The new Discovery is expected to retain 59% of its initial purchase price after three years and 36,000 miles. It also looks like the Discovery is shaping up to be a sound purchase down the line, as experts at industry body CAP are predicting the SUV to retain more of its purchase value than anything else in the class.
