Land Rover The fifth generation Discovery will be released in 2017. The presentation of the car, according to the latest data, will take place at the 2016 Paris Motor Show this fall. Today it is known that the new product will remain the same familiar seven-seater car, but will be presented in a different design, partly distinguishing it from current generation. At the same time, the interior, according to insiders, will undergo many changes, similar to the “tweaks” to the appearance. It is also worth noting that the new product will be somewhat lighter than the previous version of Discovery.
The Discovery model was released more than two decades ago - back in 1989. Subsequently, the British automobile company, which was acquired by Indians from Tata Motors in 2008, released three more generations of its brainchild, which gained some popularity among car enthusiasts. The Discovery model also has many industry-specific awards, which, according to experts, is well deserved.
Exterior
As we said at the very beginning, Land Rover Discovery, that is, the fifth generation popular car, which many classify as an SUV, will receive a definitely different design. In principle, by looking at photographs taken secretly by spy photographers, one can discover many of what can be considered truly noteworthy changes.
For example, from the front of the car its bumper looks round, and many experts consider this an important feature of the new product. To the conversation about the changes made, which are considered significant, they also add a mention of narrowed headlights. On the rear of the car, in principle, there are similar changes, although not so striking at the first cursory glance.
In general, the fifth generation of the British SUV looks sportier, and this is not surprising, because it has much in common with such car models as the Land Rover Discovery Sport and Range Rover Sport. The first, by the way, served as a prototype for the creation of the fifth version of Discovery, while the second “shared” its riveted-welded design monocoque body, made of aluminum. Such an architecture, in fact, will allow the new product to be slightly lighter than its predecessor.
Land Rover Discovery interior
The stepped roof of the new Land Rover Discovery, as in previous versions of this car, will remain, which will allow engineers to place the same 7 seats. These almost optimal proportions, which, according to journalists, the representatives of the British company themselves say, if they change, it is only in order to improve their previous achieved value. At the same time, according to their own assumptions, they probably will not change dramatically in the next few decades.
Proper distribution of the weight of an SUV is one of the main tasks entrusted to engineers. And they managed it for the fifth time. The British do not report specific amendments made to vehicle, which they know quite well, but insiders talk about a whole set of modern engineering technologies involved in the production process.
One can only assume that the multimedia “filling” of the new product will be much better, although one should not think that it was “weak” the previous four times. But what will also be “strong” in the context of the release of LR5 is the fact that, according to sources close to the company, new Discovery will receive a laser scanning system to enable the ability to adjust the suspension and transmission, depending on the current situation on the road, in automatic mode.
However, if not this, then the next fact sounds somewhat fantastic: the hood is both “transparent” and capable of projecting an image of its “filling” onto the lid.
Technical characteristics of the updated SUV model
Range power plants, prepared by the British for the release of Land Rover Discovery, is not limited to petrol and diesel engines. Insiders also promise improved turbo engines that can work in conjunction with gasoline or heavy fuel.
We believe that the maximum value can be expected power at level 300 Horse power from the fifth generation Discovery it is quite possible. As they say, when we get there, we will definitely check the real facts and past assumptions.
Start of sales in Russia and the price of the new product
In Russia, Land Rover Discovery will appear following the presentation of the car in Paris in the fall of 2016 and its subsequent appearance on European markets for free sale in the winter. I think that here we can count on first half of 2017 easily.
The price of a model with a TDV6 engine (249 hp) will be 4 million 33 thousand rubles, the price of top versions with V6 engines is 340 hp. will amount to 6 million 346 thousand rubles. This version includes 21-inch wheels, leather, all-round view, music with 14 speakers, navigation, all sorts of the latest electronic assistants.
Look video with a new car:
The Rover Company is a company engaged in the production of cars from Great Britain. The brand was abolished eleven years ago; representatives of the Chinese company SAIC wanted to acquire it, but in the end Rover acquired it. Today Rovers are not produced, but we'll talk about brand Land Rover, which also comes from Britain. Auto company specialty all-terrain premium class, eight years ago it was acquired by the Indian concern Tata Motors, the brand is also part of the Jaguar Land Rover family. Interestingly, the Rover Company owned the marque for nineteen years from 1948 to 1967. Next year, the brand is expecting three new 2017 Rover vehicles, namely Range Rover Sport(HST), Land Rover Discovery 5 and Range Rover Evoque Convertible.
Land Rover history
The first to create the Land Rover car were Rover designer Maurice Wilkes and Spencer Wilkes, who is his brother, and he served as executive director. Used as a prototype for the model American car Willis. After the hostilities, Rover was able to obtain permission from the state to develop regular cars and began to be based at the new plant. The production had state status and developed tank and aircraft engines; with the help of the concern, it was decided to release an off-road model.
Wilkes was confident that this was an excellent temporary option until the country's leadership reduced restrictions on the metal. They decided to call the car Land Rover. In 1947, the first Center Steel was released, the body was green with airplane fuselages. The engine and gearbox were installed from a Rover passenger car, but they decided to abandon the car since its safety on the road was very questionable.
After completing twenty-five options, Land Rover was presented at the auto show in Amsterdam, Holland in 1948. The company was very surprised by the demand for the car, and this year the production volume of SUVs was equal to that of sedans, and a year later there were twice as many. Since 1950, the all-wheel drive system has been improved, a lever has appeared to change the gearbox, with a choice of full or rear wheel drive. There was also a choice of body styles and wheelbase lengths. By 1959, the concern had already produced two hundred and fifty thousand SUVs. In 1968, the company was acquired by the Leyland Motor concern, a year later it was called the British Leyland Motor Corporation, already twenty years later Land Rover began to belong to the Rover Group, although two years later it was bought by British Aerospace, in 1994 the company was acquired BMW concern, in the year two thousand and for eight years the brand belonged to Ford and this moment Owns a Land Rover Indian company Tata Motors.
Range Rover Sport 2017
Design of the new Range Rover Sport 2017
The front of the new Rover 2017 series car tells us that the car has a new radiator grille, which is designed in matte black tones. Two sides of the front bumper received space for fog lamps from the developers. led lights, which were slightly narrowed. The lighting technology at the front was also slightly narrowed, but such an innovation did not in any way affect the characteristics of the optics. In addition, the developers tinted the headlights, thereby giving the car a more aggressive image.
From the side you will notice the traditional top of the car; its black roofline is very even, just like in regular version auto. By the way, the model received many black shades, which should also become familiar. Inflated wheel arches, stamping on the lateral part of the body, updated rims, which in the main assembly will have a size of twenty-one inches. As an optional extra, it will be possible to purchase twenty-two inch wheels. Black exterior rear-view mirrors, powerful glazing, and a thin line of LED lights simply perfectly complete the car’s final image. At the rear, the body has a convenient tailgate, a large and stylish bumper, updated lighting equipment, and an extraordinary spoiler on top of the door. luggage compartment and again a very nice black edging.
If we talk about sizes, then the car:
- in height is one thousand seven hundred eighty millimeters;
- width one meter nine hundred eighty three millimeters;
- four thousand eight hundred and fifty millimeters long;
- clearance in cars is twenty centimeters;
- wheelbase two thousand nine hundred twenty-five millimeters.
At the moment, the car is already available on the market, but we must not forget that not all markets will have the opportunity to purchase it. For Russian drivers it is very good news, the country is on the list of those who can enjoy the luxurious crossover. The car will also appear in Chinese, North American car dealerships and the Middle East. Despite the fact that the model is British by nationality, it will not hit the European market. The price of the new Rover 2017 Range Rover Sport car will be one hundred and forty-nine thousand pounds sterling, which is two hundred thousand in dollars. Of course, these are just the initial configurations, the assemblies will be different and their cost should also be different.
New Land Rover Discovery 5
The main feature by which everyone is accustomed to distinguishing the model is, perhaps, the well-known stepped top; in this regard, the developers did not change anything. According to preliminary information, the car will lose its sharp angularity and replace it with soft, flowing lines, and the curves on the roof, which is traditional for cars, will go down slightly to the bottom. All in all appearance will resemble Sport, which has similar glazing and rear pillar, as well as pleasant headlights that perfectly highlight the lateral parts of the car and make it truly perfect in all aspects.
Appearance of the fifth generation Land Rover Discovery model
The car will receive the same system, which reconfigures the car’s parameters, depending on what kind of road surface, as an addition to the car, it should receive many absolutely innovative innovations in its technical equipment. Insiders are talking about a laser that will scan the area and also regulate the suspension, taking into account all the data obtained using the installation. This will help make the car operate even more efficiently. We also note the aluminum monocoque, which is traditionally equipped with the latest Rovers.
The car will receive a new line of engines that will make it even more powerful. Probably, the hybrid equipment of the new product with electric unit and a two-liter engine. Improved engines and smaller dimensions will help the car optimize fuel consumption, save energy reserves, as well as energy during fuel combustion.
Note that the concept car received a truly perfect system, in the form of a transparent hood, which reproduces the design of the entire road and in general environment, as well as the internal state of the car, which will make traveling in a car incredibly comfortable and bring a huge amount of benefit. There is no exact data yet on whether the main assembly or just an additional one will receive this function, but in general the likelihood of such an innovation is very high. This installation is truly capable of blowing up the market and, of course, becoming the company’s calling card; there is still very little information regarding when the concept will appear. We all expect it next year, the price is also difficult to determine yet, we can only make an assumption based on the data we have, but if the new Rover car The 2017 Discovery 5 series will receive all the most powerful technical equipment, but it certainly won’t come cheap.
New Range Rover Evoque Convertible 2017
Received the platform of the premium crossover Evoque and has the main difference from its companion platform in the soft folding roof, which is equipped electrically driven. The top goes down in eighteen seconds and goes up in twenty-one seconds, and this whole process is possible at a speed level of forty-eight kilometers per hour. We add that the luggage compartment capacity does not depend on the placement of the roof, and has a total volume of two hundred and fifty-one liters. The fact is that the soft top has an individual compartment, and when the roof in the convertible is raised, it is able to provide excellent insulation of noise and sound inside the cabin, just like in the version with a closed top.
Brand new Range Rover Evoque Convertible 2017
Regarding the dimensions, the car body is four thousand three hundred seventy millimeters in length, one thousand nine hundred eighty-five millimeters in width, one thousand six hundred nine millimeters in height, and the wheelbase is two thousand six hundred sixty millimeters. The vehicle's ground clearance measures twenty-one and a half centimeters, and the depth of the ford is no less than five hundred millimeters. Very good dimensions of the convertible, which contribute to comfortable placement inside.
The main assembly of the car is equipped the most powerful engine on gasoline, which is designed for two liters, with power characteristics two hundred and forty horsepower, and diesel engine for two liters in two variations of one hundred fifty and one hundred eighty horses. Regarding the transmission, all options have a nine-speed automatic transmission gears and of course with all-wheel drive system. The dynamic performance of the convertible is, however, inferior to its closed brother, and this is not surprising, since the reinforcements of the top and bottom pillars made the weight of the car by as much as three hundred kilograms more, and the dimensions of the convertible itself are almost two tons, or, to be more precise, one thousand nine hundred and sixty-seven kilograms. To accelerate to one hundred kilometers in a car with a diesel engine of one hundred and fifty horses, it takes as much as twelve seconds, with a motor of one hundred and eighty horses in 10.3 seconds. The most powerful gasoline unit with a force of two hundred and forty horsepower accelerates in eight and a half seconds. The basic equipment of the new product will cost fifty and a half thousand dollars, the car will be assembled in Britain, and the convertible will be sold in one hundred and seventy countries around the world.
This fall, they presented at the Paris Motor Show new Land Rover Discovery 2017. The prestigious SUV has received a number of significant changes compared to the previous version. There is a lot of new things in design, exterior, level of equipment, etc. Therefore, the British new product deserves special attention in anticipation of its imminent appearance on the roads of Europe and Russia.
What's new in appearance?
The 5th generation Land Rover Discovery will be released only in 2017, but from the photo future news we can already tell you about the exterior premium SUV. The car received a more streamlined and even rounded body. Now it looks more like the same Range Rover Sport. In addition, the new 2017 Discovery, judging by the photo, took a lot from the Vision Concept, which was first presented in 2014.
Naturally, something in the new SUV remains from its predecessor. The most striking detail is the stepped roof, which distinguishes this model from many others. Although there are much more differences between the two bodies. Just look at the photo of Land Rover Discovery of the past and new generation: 
- The new 2017 product has narrower optics and a radiator grille;
- Fog lights are no longer round, but are made in the form of straight horizontal lines;
- A spoiler has appeared, visually lengthening the roof and the car itself;
- The tailgate is now single-section, whereas previous model it consisted of two parts;
- The stampings above have disappeared wheel arches, but protective linings appeared along the entire perimeter of the body;
- Doors for rear passengers received a sharper shape, emphasizing the dynamic and sporty nature of the car.
Land Rover Discovery Sport
These are only the most noticeable and striking innovations in the appearance of the English SUV, which can be detected from the available photos. In fact, there are much more changes. The main thing is that they all made the new Land Rover Discovery even more attractive and intriguing.
Interior and functionality
The interior of the SUV is comfortable and functional. The 2nd and 3rd row of seats can be folded or adjusted not only using special switches in the luggage compartment. There is an opportunity and remote control via smartphone. Each chair also has heating, ventilation and massage functions.
“Disco” has really been radically updated. Gone are the old brutal box-like shapes that have always defined the image of Discovery for 30 years! The new (fifth) generation SUV is made in common with all the latest Land models Rover and Range Rover styling. So general that when viewed from the front and in profile, it is easy to confuse it with the younger Discovery Sport. Head optics, by the way, can be completely LED - but as an option.
The front part of the new Discovery differs much more from the Sport: firstly, there are horizontal lines of LED lights, and secondly, there is a branded stamping on the door for the license plate. Yes and characteristic feature The fifth generation has preserved any Discovery - we are talking, of course, about the asymmetrical tailgate. Finally, a slightly “humpbacked” roof with a large degree of glazing over the head of the second or third row will not go anywhere: in this the designers tried not to deviate from the canons - albeit by framing this issue a little differently.
However, with significant similarity new Discovery with the products of the Range Rover line - first of all, this is what we have in front of us: the 2014 Discovery Vision concept promised for production - with some edits to serial simplification and trends relevant for 2016.
What's in the cabin? Oddly enough (or strange?), the new “Disco” in its residential part is very reminiscent of the younger “Sport” - and has hardly retained the features familiar from the previous generation. Almost: on the steering wheel there are characteristic “triggers” for working with on-board computer and a cruise control system. The rest is new, unstained glorious history old
It has definitely become more convenient: the designers have provided a lot of niches and cavities, some of which may not be visible. For example, on the center console there is a deep niche hidden behind the climate control (similar to Cadillac cars and Chevrolet, but without electric drive), and the central tunnel has its own box (to the right of the transmission selectors and proprietary Terrain Response) - with the ability to place a substantial package of documents... or a stack of 10-inch diagonal tablets. For what? Decide for yourself.
Finally, the armrest between the front seats - it hides a fairly spacious refrigerator. And for a snack there are two whole glove compartments. A variety of “Plyushkins” will be appreciated.
But fans of gadgets will appreciate the range of connectivity options: Discovery offers 9 USB ports and 6 standard 12-volt outlets to suit every taste and color.
However, the decoration of the center console is not a niche for small items, but the new InControl Touch Pro multimedia complex located above, with, finally, excellent graphics and performance. It also creates a wonderful Wi-Fi “atmosphere” in the cabin, which will be appreciated by those same gadget lovers. By the way, if there are 7 seats in the cabin, the new Discovery can “power” up to 8 devices with the Internet.
Discovery also cannot complain about the lack of space: with a full three rows of seats, the 3rd row of “second class” is cramped and compressed. Of course, talk about spacious trunk at the same time, you don’t have to... But the third row is comfortable, light, there is Internet and a power outlet - what else do children need now?
However, the new generation Discovery cannot be called huge either: the overall length almost reached 5 meters:
- length - 4970 mm
- width - 2073 mm
- height - 1846 mm
- wheelbase - 2923 mm
Simply put, “Disco” has become a little longer (+141 mm), but narrower (-127 mm) and lower (-41 mm). For comparison, its closest competitors are Toyota Highlander(4865 mm length) and Ford Explorer(5019 mm).
Among other benefits of civilization, the new Discovery boasts not only the already familiar heated front seats: all three rows of seats are heated and electric. And the ability to do all this remotely - through an application on a smartphone. The chairs can be folded to create a completely flat platform with a total volume of 2500 liters! Folding only the third row we get 1231 liters of usable space, and with a maximum of people the load can be taken minimal: the standard remains only 258 liters. But he's hiding underground full size spare tire- a significant plus for those in the know.
Following the exterior, the tailgate has also been transformed: now it is solid, rather than the classically divided horizontally into two parts. However, in memory of the old days, the company's engineers have provided the opportunity to sit in the back: immediately behind the main door there is a small “seat” that folds down. Despite its apparent flimsiness, it can withstand up to 300 kg of static load - quite enough for “thinking for three”.
Exterior, interior, filling. About the latter separately: the new “Disco” received a fundamentally new aluminum platform. Yes, the integral frame is a thing of the past, giving way to new trends in “winged metal”. The platform is 85% aluminum and only the remaining 15 are made of cunning secret alloys and metal compounds. To put it simply, Discovery in this regard has finally turned from an SUV into a crossover - albeit with a mass smart electronics for all occasions. Plus spiritual closeness to " younger brother» Discovery Sport... and all representatives of the “older” Range Rovers.
What's the benefit of this? The most significant advantage is the reduction in vehicle weight by 480 kg! That with the generally structurally same suspension ( double levers for the front axle and an integral multi-link at the rear) is a clear plus. Let us also note that constructively does not mean in this case“old”: all elements were carefully reviewed, shortcomings were taken into account, details were made taking into account the above. And the air suspension did not stand aside: now it is capable of “squatting” by 40 mm in parking mode.
And, of course, the most obvious difference is the design. More precisely, what was said at the very beginning of the article “the absence of brutal box-shaped forms”: coefficient drag it now has only 0.33 - not a record, but also a rather pleasant indicator for this class of car.
Next, the engines underwent modification: the new generation Discovery has a range of power units diesel “turbo-fours” of the Ingenium family appeared with powers of 180 and 220 horsepower from a 2-liter displacement. True, on Russian market these modifications are unlikely to be introduced.
In Russia, the new Discovery will be presented exclusively with 3-liter V6s: diesel Td6 (249 hp, 600 Nm) and petrol Si6 (340 hp, 450 Nm). The dynamics of such modifications will be approximately 8.1 and 7.1 seconds to hundreds - respectively for each of the engines. The kit includes an exclusively ZF 8-band torque converter automatic transmission.
Is the new Discovery any worse off-road? According to the passport - definitely not: the standard 283 mm of ground clearance in the middle position of the suspension is stated. In addition to the fact that it is a full 43 mm higher than the previous generation, on off-road, if necessary, it can be “lifted” by another 75 mm. And also the maximum fordability has increased to 900 mm (it was “only” 700 mm). And also quite practical angles of approach, departure and ramp: 34, 30 and 27.5 degrees, respectively.
Cross-country ability is ensured not only by geometry, but also by a proprietary system all-wheel drive, based on a Torsen differential, which dynamically changes the traction between the axles at the required time. However, 100% of the traction is never transferred to one of the axles: from 62% in favor of the front axle to 78% in favor of the rear. Optionally, traditionally, a “transfer case” with a reduction row is available.
And besides mechanical interlocks the fifth generation of Discovery is literally crammed with electronic assistants: there is a proprietary Terrain Response 2 system with automatic mode, which determines the surface under the wheels and the ATPC (All-Terrain Progress Control) system like the current Evoque - off-road cruise control.
Of course, all kinds of systems are in place active safety– automatic lane keeping, self-parking, active cruise control and other gizmos that are commonly boasted of today in progressive automobile society. There are even six systems that make towing a trailer child's play.
Buyers will be given room for creativity. Conditional. The British could not ignore market trends, and therefore, in addition to the regular version, the new Discovery will be presented in several others. So, it will have a Dynamic package with more aggressive bumpers, different decor, contrasting colors (for example, a black roof with an orange body) and rims up to 22 inches in diameter.
There is also a Black Pack line - in which, believe it or not, everything external elements trims like grilles, mirrors and wheels will be black. Finally, the First Edition, limited to 2,400 units, rewards enthusiasts with exclusive interior trim, special badging and three exterior color options.
The start of sales of the new Discovery is scheduled for spring 2017. The standard package for Russia will include heating of everything, including Windshield and steering wheel - in addition, it will be possible to start heating the engine and interior remotely. In total, we will have four trim levels available – S, HS, HSE and HSE Luxury. Prices, of course, have not yet been announced.
