The Land Rover Discovery 4 (LR4) has evolved a distinct design heritage over 20 years and four generations of iconic, instantly recognizable vehicles. The 2010 LR4 inherits the clean lines of the previous generation, but now subtly updated and given a more premium compact car, more contemporary look. The LR4 is packed with easy-to-operate and useful features, not technology for technology’s sake. The aim throughout is to simplify the operation, to help make journeys more relaxing and stress-free. With its powerful and highly efficient new LR-V8 engine, LR4 is the most capable Land Rover versatile SUV ever. The Land Rover Discovery 4 model range lies within the price bracket of £31,995 – £47,695.
The iconic exterior design has been updated, most obviously with smoother and simpler surfaces at the front, including a new, more aerodynamic bumper. The sportier new lights help give the vehicle new character, and include LED technology front and rear. The sophisticated new front headlights include High Beam Assist, switching on or off, as conditions require.
The new interior not only has a much more premium look and feel, it’s also gained improvement to its functionality. The new console inclines towards the driver, the switchgear and controls fall more readily to hand, and new LED Interior Mood Lighting on HSE models helps make the cabin a more pleasant and more easily used space after dark. We’ve made the interior environment more premium too, with smoother surfaces, softer materials and close attention to critical details such as stitching.
Star billing on the Land Rover Discovery 4 goes to the highly efficient and refined new LR-TDV6 3.0 twin turbo diesel engine. This delivers a 9 percent fuel economy improvement (EU combined cycle) and ten percent less CO2 emissions, at the same time as increasing power by 29%, all compared with the existing 2.7-litre engine. Torque increases even more, up 36% to 600Nm – believed to be the highest torque output of any 6-cylinder, production diesel, passenger vehicle engine in the world.
