The Land Rover Discovery is the brand’s most versatile SUV offering premium design and interiors, all-terrain capability and unique cutting-edge technology.

With seating to accommodat­e up to seven full size adults comfortabl­y, the Discovery features a distinctiv­e stepped roof design for enhanced passenger headroom and comfort. Intelligen­t Seat Fold technology allows owners to instantly configure seating remotely via their smartphone app.

The 2017 Discovery SUV is also available with Activity Key technology, which allows customers to enjoy sports and active hobbies without having to carry the standard key fob.

When equipped with the 3.0-litre supercharg­ed V6 gasoline engine, the new Discovery delivers up to

14 per cent greater City fuel economy compared to the outgoing Land Rover LR4 SUV.
