Land Rover Discovery
Out and about offroad driving is a pleasure to those who enjoy the great outdoors and all the adventures it offers. And what better way to drive offroad than in the Land Rover Discovery?
Land Rover 4x4s are legendary for offroading superiority and brilliance. The new Land Rover Discovery sets the benchmark higher than ever, offering premium comfort, style, safety, and excellent on- and off-road ability.
The recent Land Rover Discovery has a new design and, with its ability to seat seven in comfort, the design maestros have created a very practical vehicle that looks good from all angles. The second and third row seats in the rear are spacious and are wonderfully comfortable to sit in. Three child restraints can be found in the rear, so Land Rover have angled this model for those who need to carry passengers of all ages. All rear seats in the Land Rover Discovery are quite simple to use, whether you are finding a suitable seating position for comfort, or whether you need the increased load space and have to fold the Land Rover Discovery's seats away. There's nothing worse than fighting with car seats to alter the car's carrying capacity, so it's good you wont' have to do this in the Land Rover Discovery.
Dynamically, the Land Rover Discovery is nothing short of excellent on the road. The Land Rover Discovery has a nimbleness better than many smaller soft-roaders - and that says a lot about the engineers who have kept the hefty weight (around 2 ½ tonnes) in total control.
Take the Land Rover Discovery off the tarmac and this machine finds traction wherever possible. The Land Rover Discovery has a long-travel independent suspension and an improved ability to push each wheel down into undulations, keeping the vehicle nice and level while gaining optimum "go-forward."
The Land Rover Discovery has some of the most advanced driving aids on offer. Features such as ABS, brake assist, dynamic stability control, active roll mitigation and electronic park brake ensure optimum control.
Electronic aids are abundant, and the Land Rover Discovery makes full use of the leading-edge Terrain Response System, which ties in many of the driving aids already mentioned to optimise them for five different terrain settings: normal, better known as tarmac roads; grass/gravel, like back country New Zealand roads, ruts and mud, or safari game trails in East Africa; rock crawl, for anywhere with boulders; and sand, like back tracks in the Middle East - the world's your oyster. With electronic traction and stability control, along with hill descent control, the Land Rover Discovery is second to none. This is arguably the most offroad-capable vehicle.
The Land Rover Discovery has three engine variants. The base model Land Rover Discovery S has a V6 turbodiesel engine, while the Land Rover Discovery SE comes with either the petrol V6 or the turbodiesel V6. And the luxury-packed Land Rover Discovery HSE is equipped with either the turbodiesel V6 or the grunty V8 petrol motor. All engines have loads of power that provide colossal torque in a refined manner - just what you'd expect.
Well equipped? Yes, all models of Land Rover Discovery are. Even the Land Rover Discovery S has leather seats, automatic climate control, 17" alloys, a six-speaker system and curtain airbags for each row of seats. But if you want a complete luxury trip, the Land Rover Discovery HSE packs in plenty of incredible features, not only the range mentioned for the S, but also an eight-way adjustable electric drivers' seat with memory, a six-way adjustable passenger seat, park distance control, a rain sensor, an 8-speaker audio system which has a remote control, an electro-chromic interior mirror? and that's just to name a few!
To drive a car that can evoke a sense of adventure is such a pleasure. And no matter where you want to go, the Land Rover Discovery can take you there.
