In the review, the new Land Rover Discovery 2017-2018 - photos and videos, price and equipment, specifications the latest, conditionally 5th generation of the British SUV Land Rover Discovery presented on the podium. The new Discovery can be safely considered revolutionary against the backdrop of Disco SUVs of past generations: radically new design bodies, a premium seven-seater saloon, a fantastic set of digital equipment, an aluminum platform and a body made of 85% winged metal, air suspension, a new generation Terrain Response system, diesel and gasoline engines, 8 automatic transmissions and, of course, all-wheel drive with a two-stage transfer case. Worldwide sales of the new Land Rover Discovery are scheduled for spring 2017 price from 50500 euros.

The body of the new Land Rover Discovery has lost the angularity of its predecessor and looks more like a dynamic and sports crossover, and not an SUV, but with the cross-country ability of the new product, as they say, order is complete. As evidence, data on geometric parameters body and the ability to overcome water obstacles of a British SUV: when off-road mode is activated with air suspension, ground clearance is 283 mm (with a conventional spring - 220 mm), approach angle - 34 degrees, departure angle - 30 degrees, elevation angle - 45 degrees, fording depth - 900 mm with air suspension and 850 mm with conventional springs.

External dimensions Land body The 2017-2018 Rover Discovery is an impressive 4970 mm long, 2073 mm (2200 mm including rear-view mirrors) wide, 1846 mm high and 2923 mm wheelbase.

The widespread use of aluminum in the design of the chassis and body made it possible to reduce the curb weight of the new generation Disco by 480 kg compared to , settling on figures of 2230 kg (petrol 3.0-liter V6 with compressor) and 2305 kg (3.0-liter diesel V6) . Well, the most light diesel Land Rover Discovery with a four-cylinder 180-horsepower TD4 engine - only 2099 kg.

For body painting, a wide palette of enamel colors is offered, consisting of 17 options: Fuji White and Yulong White, Loire Blue, Namib Orange, Silicon Silver and Indus Silver, Corris Gray and Scotia Grey, Waitomo Gray and Carpathian Grey, Aintree Green, Firenze Red, Kaikoura Stone, Montalcino Red, Farallon Black and Santorini Black, Aruba.
For the new SUV, a unique collection of 12 alloy options has been created. rims from R19 and R20 to huge R21 and R22. Spare wheel mounted at the rear under the car body, by the way, full-size for all versions.
Returning to the new streamlined body design of the new British SUV, we would like to draw the attention of our readers to the similar headlights and taillights. marker lights, a fast-moving cross-country vehicle with a stepped roof above the rear of the cabin, a characteristic tilt of the rear roof pillar and a large aft glazing area. Beautiful and unambiguously solid car.

Fully seven-seater saloon (option) of the novelty is luxurious, high-quality and functional. Representatives of the manufacturer's company assure that even adult passengers with a height of more than 180 cm can comfortably sit on the last third row. It's interesting that this procedure can be done not only with the button in the trunk or the button on the central pillar in the cabin, but also with the help of the central display and even remotely using the InControl Remote application pre-installed on the smartphone!!! The second row seats move 160 mm along the interior, providing an optimal supply of space in both the second and third rows.

The luggage compartment with a five-seat interior configuration allows you to place from 1231 to 2500 liters of cargo volume, with three rows of seats and a seven-seat interior, the trunk is slightly smaller. Behind the backs of the "gallery" the volume is only 258 liters, behind the backs of the second row - 1137 liters, and with only the driver and front passenger, you can count on 2406 liters.
The tailgate is single-leaf and rises up. The opening of the fifth door is 735 mm high and 1000 mm wide.

It is interesting that this is not all the chips cargo capabilities SUV. There are two glove boxes, a secret container for small things behind the climate control panel, a box in the underground of the trunk with a volume of 24.5 liters (seven-seat version) and 127.4 liters (five-seat version), an innovative lower tailgate with electric drive (Power Inner Tailgate) , able to hold a load (standard vertical position) or serve as a bench that can withstand a load of 300 kg. The tailgate is also, of course, electrically operated, you can open the trunk without hands, just wave your foot under the rear bumper.

The architecture, design and detailing of the steering wheel and instrument panel, front panel, center console and central tunnel delight with thoughtfulness and conciseness. All controls are placed conveniently and logically: exemplary steering wheel and dashboard, InControl Touch Pro multimedia with a 10-inch color touch screen, four-zone climate control, a stylish automatic transmission control knob that grows out of the panel when the engine starts, a convenient Terrain Response 2 chassis settings control knob with General driving modes (general), Grass-Gravel-Snow (grass-gravel-snow), Mud and Ruts (mud and ruts), Sand (sand), Rock Crawl (stones). The choice of settings can be assigned to the electronics or you can activate the required mode forcibly.
In the arsenal of new items, off-road cruise control All-Terrain Progress Control, electronic assistants that help get under way on slippery surface or on a slope, go down a hill and measure the depth of the ford, recognize road signs, as well as monitor the markings and objects in the blind spots of rear-view mirrors, and a host of other assistants.

All heated seats, even the third row, first and second row seats with ventilation (optional), driver and passenger seats with massage function (of course, for a surcharge) and electric drive. Options, by the way, the sea: adaptive LED headlights, a roof with a panoramic view with a sunroof, a Meridian audio system with 17 speakers, tablets for second-row passengers, Windsor leather trim, decorative inserts made of precious wood and aluminum.

Specifications Land Rover Discovery 2017-2018. Motor line The new generation of Discovery consists of diesel and gasoline engines, paired exclusively with 8 ZF automatic transmissions. Suspension is fully independent double wishbones at the front and multi-link Integral Link at the rear, power steering is electric, however, as is the parking brake. The British SUV is standardly equipped with all-wheel drive in two versions: a simple one with a single-stage transfer case and a more advanced one with a two-stage transfer case (forced rear differential lock as an option).

Diesel versions of the new Land Rover Discovery:

Four-cylinder 2.0-liter engines from the Ingenium family:

TD4 (180 hp 430 Nm) is content with just 6.0 liters of diesel fuel.
SD4 (240 hp 500 Nm) consumes 6.3 liters and accelerates to 100 mph in 8.3 seconds.

The six-cylinder 3.0-liter TDV6 (258 hp 600 Nm) accelerates the SUV from 0 to 100 km / h in just 8.1 seconds, the average fuel consumption is 7.2 liters.

The new generation Land Rover Discovery has one petrol version and is equipped with a 3.0-liter six-cylinder Si6 V6 engine with drive supercharger(340 hp 450 Nm). The motor provides the dynamics of acceleration from 0 to 100 km / h in 7.1 seconds, gasoline consumption in the combined driving mode is 10.9 liters per hundred.

Land Rover Discovery 2017-2018 video test

Fifth Generation Land Rover Discovery 2017-2018 model year became one of the main exhibits of the exhibition that started at the end of September Paris Motor Show. The British manufacturer presented to the public absolutely new car, which is fundamentally different from almost all positions. The 2017-2018 Land Rover Discovery SUV received a new aluminum platform, smoother body contours, an upgraded interior with three rows of seats, electronic systems assistance, a line of high-tech motors. Specifications, photos, equipment and prices of the "fifth" Discovery will be the focus of our attention during the current review.

The appearance of an aluminum load-bearing body structure can be considered one of the main achievements of the renovation that has taken place. If earlier the share of aluminum parts in the overall structure of the body was insignificant, now it reaches 85%. As a result, the power frame became 480 kg lighter. The mass of the car as a whole has also decreased - the lightest modification now weighs 2115 kg.

Moving on new platform affected overall dimensions Land Rover Discovery. The updated SUV has significantly increased in length (+141 mm), slightly less in width (+20 mm) and, conversely, lost a little in height (-41 mm). Taking into account these adjustments, the body acquired dimensions of 4970x2073x1846 mm. The length of the wheelbase has increased by 38 mm, amounting to 2913 mm.

The appearance of the Land Rover Discovery 5 2017-2018 exactly repeats the design of the Discovery Vision concept shown a couple of years ago. And this means a complete departure from the square shapes that were a trademark of previous generations. At new version of the car, all corners are smoothed, thanks to which the car looks more dynamic on the one hand, but less brutal and courageous on the other. Whether fans of the model will like the course taken by the manufacturer will become clear after the SUV goes on sale. However, already now we can say that in its new incarnation, Discovery looks very stylish and attractive, delighting with clean surfaces without any intricate details. This is if you do not take into account the roof inherited from the predecessor by inheritance with a characteristic step. The family features of the brand can be traced in almost all elements, just look at the front or rear optics. Family ties with and, as they say, are obvious.

To move away from standard solutions in the exterior, additional design lines will help. With the Black Design package, black will be added, and with the Dynamic Design package, the bumpers, radiator grille, rear-view mirrors will get a different design, the roof will receive a contrasting color. However, the basic palette of body enamels, which includes as many as 17 shades, and a set of rims with 12 pattern options already provide wide variability.

In the interior of the new Land Rover, everything is designed in a simple and understandable way, which does not go against the idea of premium. The center console, which has clear boundaries, has been relieved of a fair amount of buttons, the functionality of which is now implemented through the InControl Touch Pro multimedia complex with a 10-inch color display. Integration with any smartphones, Bluetooth, 3G with Wi-Fi access points, navigation, a lot of applications - all these features are implemented in the infotainment system. InControl Remote technologies are also supported - remote control of on-board functions (climate control, folding seats), InControl Secure - tracking a stolen car, InControl Protect - notification when a emergency situations(breakdown, accident). In addition to the main screen, part of the data is transmitted to a 5-inch display dashboard, nestled between two classic analog dials.

Configuration Salon Land Rover Discovery provides a full third row of seats with heating and mounts for children Isofix chairs. The step on the roof allows quite freely accommodate even tall passengers at the back. At the same time, the second row seats can move back and forth by 160 mm, freeing up an opening for access to the gallery or increasing the volume of the luggage compartment.

capacity cargo compartment the five- and seven-seat versions of Discovery are slightly different. In an SUV with a family seats with all the seats folded out, the useful volume of the trunk does not exceed 258 liters. Behind the backs of the second and first rows of seats with the rear seats you can fit 1137 and 2406 liters of luggage, respectively. The initially five-seater version of the model has slightly more available volumes - 1231 and 2500 liters. for storage small items there are additional compartments under the trunk floor and compartments in various parts of the cabin.

Among the advanced technological solutions available in the car's arsenal, there are a number of not so common or even unique ones. These include the opening / closing mechanism of the car using a waterproof Activity Key bracelet, as well as a parking assistant that can park longitudinally and perpendicularly, including a car with a trailer. Rarely where you can see a flap equipped with a drive in the rear of the trunk, which, with the fifth door open, goes down, forming a kind of bench that can withstand maximum load 300 kg.

Technique Land Rover Discovery 2017-2018 in a new body

Engine range new Discovery consists of four units:

Diesel 2.0 TD4 180 hp, 430 Nm;
Diesel 2.0 SD4 240 hp, 500 Nm;
Diesel 3.0 TD V6 249 hp, 600 Nm;
Petrol engine 3.0 Si6 V6 340 hp, 450 Nm.

The car will go on sale first with two V6 engines, and a pair of 2.0-liter diesel engines of the Ingenium family will join later, in 2018. Each engine is mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission ZF. Modification with a petrol "six" accelerates to 100 km / h in 7.1 seconds, with a diesel one a little slower - in 8.1 seconds. But the diesel saves fuel better - the consumption is 7.5 liters versus 11.5 liters for the gasoline unit. Even less "gluttonous" 2.0-liter engines, consuming 6.0 (180 hp) and 6.3 (240 hp) liters per 100 km.

All versions of the new Land Rover Discovery are equipped with permanent all-wheel drive with two transfer case options: one- and two-stage. In the first case, by default, the thrust is distributed between the axles in the proportion of 42/58, in the second - 50/50. If necessary, the ratio can be easily adjusted electronically. It is allowed to turn on the lower row (if any) on the go, if the speed does not exceed 60 km/h. Available as an option rear differential with forced blocking.

The Terrain Response 2 chassis control system includes five modes: General, Grass/Gravel/Snow, Mud and Ruts, Sand, Rocks. The choice of optimal settings is automatic or manual.

The basic suspension of the model is a front two-lever design and a rear multi-link. With this chassis configuration, the ground clearance is 220 mm, the maximum fording depth is 850 mm. These are excellent "off-road" indicators, however, in the case of the Land Rover Discovery, they are not the limit. The optional air suspension allows you to expand the potential, which has an increased base clearance of 283 mm and is able to change it in the range of 135 mm for certain needs. For example, off-road at speeds up to 50 km / h, the clearance increases by 75 mm, and in the speed range of 50-80 km / h - by 40 mm. The highest position of the body makes it possible to overcome water obstacles up to 900 (!) mm deep. When driving fast on the highway (over 105 km / h), the ground clearance, on the contrary, decreases by 13 mm. There are also modes for boarding / disembarking passengers (-40 mm) and loading / unloading luggage (-60 mm).

The body geometry of the Land Rover Discovery 5 also has a positive effect on cross-country ability. The ramp angle is 27.5 degrees, the approach and exit angles are 34 and 30 degrees, respectively.

Options and prices for Russia

The new generation of Land Rover Discovery will reach Russia in the spring of 2017. Detailed pricing and specifications will be available closer to the model's launch date. But it is already known that in the "base" Russian version SUV will have heated two front rows of seats, heated windshield and washer nozzles, remote start of interior heating. The production of new items will be established at a factory in the UK.

"Disco" really radically updated. Gone are the old brutal box shapes that have always defined the image of Discovery for 30 years! The SUV of the new (fifth) generation is made in common with all the latest Land Rover models and range rover style. So general that, when viewed from the front and profile, it is easy to confuse it with the younger Discovery Sport. Head optics, by the way, can be fully LED - but as an option.

The front part of the new Discovery differs much more from the Sport: for starters, these are the horizontal lines of LED lights, and secondly, the branded stamping on the door under the license plate. Yes and feature The fifth generation has retained any Discovery - we are talking, of course, about the asymmetric tailgate. Finally, in the end, a slightly “humpbacked” roof with a large degree of glazing over the head of the second or third row will not be done anywhere: in this, the designers tried not to deviate from the canons - albeit by arranging this issue a little differently.

However, despite the significant similarity of the new Discovery with the products of the Range Rover line, it is in front of us in the first place: the 2014 Discovery Vision concept promised for production, with some serial simplification edits and current trends for 2016.

What's in the cabin? Oddly enough (or strange?), But the new "Disco" in its residential part strongly resembles the younger "Sport" - and almost did not retain the features familiar from the previous generation. Almost: characteristic "triggers" remained on the steering wheel for working with on-board computer and cruise control system. And the rest - new, not stained 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 behind the “climate” setting, a deep niche was hidden (similar to Cadillac and Chevrolet cars, but without an electric drive), and the central tunnel has its own box (to the right of the transmission selectors and the proprietary Terrain Response) - with the ability to place a solid package documents ... or a pack of 10-inch tablets. For what? Decide for yourself.

Finally, the armrest between the front seats - it hides a fairly spacious refrigerator. And for a snack, two whole glove compartments. A variety of "Plushkin" will appreciate.

But fans of gadgets will appreciate the range of connectivity options: for every taste and color, Discovery offers 9 USB ports and 6 standard 12-volt sockets.

However, the decoration of the center console is not a niche for trifles, but the new InControl Touch Pro multimedia complex located above with, finally, great graphics and performance. And it also creates a wonderful “atmosphere” of Wi-Fi in the cabin, which will be appreciated by all the same admirers of gadgets. By the way, if there are 7 seats in the cabin, 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 cramped and narrowed 3rd row of the “second class”. Of course, there is no need to talk about a spacious trunk ... But the third row is comfortable, light, there is Internet and a power outlet - what else do children need now?

However, it is also impossible to call the new generation a huge Discovery: the overall length almost did not reach 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 long) 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 have both heating and electric drive. And the ability to do all this remotely - through the application on the smartphone. The chairs can be folded down to get a completely flat area with a total volume of 2500 liters! Having added only the third row, we get 1231 liters of usable space, and with a maximum of a person, you can take the minimum load: only 258 liters remain standard there. But hiding underground full size spare- a significant plus for those who are in the know.

The tailgate, following the exterior, has also changed: now it is solid, and not classically divided horizontally into two parts. However, in memory of the old days, the company's engineers provided the opportunity to sit in the back: right behind the main sash there is a small “seat” that leans down. Despite the apparent fragility, it is able to withstand up to 300 kg of static load - enough to "think for three."

Exterior, interior, stuffing. 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 - tricky secret alloys and metal compounds. And if it’s simpler, then Discovery in this regard has finally turned from an SUV into a crossover, albeit with a mass of smart electronics for all occasions. Plus spiritual closeness to " younger brother»Discovery Sport… and all representatives of the "senior" Range Rovers.

What is useful in this? The most significant plus is the reduction in vehicle weight by 480 kg! That with a generally structurally former suspension (double levers for the front axle and an integral multi-link at the rear) is a clear plus. We note, among other things, that constructively does not mean “old” in this case: all elements are carefully revised, shortcomings are taken into account, the details are made taking into account the above. And the air suspension did not stand aside: now it is able to “squat” by 40 mm in parking mode.

And, of course, the most obvious difference is the design. More precisely, the “absence of brutal box-shaped forms” said at the very beginning of the article: the coefficient drag it now has only 0.33 - not a record, but a rather pleasant indicator for this class of car.

Next, the motors were modified: Discovery has a new generation in the range power units diesel "turbo-fours" of the Ingenium family appeared with capacities of 180 and 220 forces from 2 liters of working volume. True, these modifications are unlikely to be presented on the Russian market.

In Russia, the new Discovery will be presented exclusively with 3-liter V6: diesel Td6 (249 hp, 600 Nm) and gasoline 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 motors. Included - exclusively 8-band torque converter "automatic" ZF.

Has the new Discovery gotten any worse off-road? According to the passport - definitely not: the standard 283 mm of ground clearance is declared in the middle position of the suspension. In addition to being a full 43 mm higher than the previous generation, off-road, if necessary, it can be “pulled up” by another 75 mm. And also grown up to 900 mm (it was "only" 700 mm) the maximum fording. And also - quite practical angles of entry, exit and ramp: 34, 30 and 27.5 degrees, respectively.

Permeability is provided not only by the geometry, but also by the proprietary all-wheel drive system based on the Torsen differential, which dynamically changes the traction between the axles at the required time. However, 100% of 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, according to tradition, a "razdatka" with a lower row is available.

And besides mechanical interlocks the fifth generation of Discovery is literally stuffed electronic assistants: there is a proprietary Terrain Response 2 system with automatic mode, which determines the coverage under the wheels and the ATPC (All-Terrain Progress Control) system, like the current Evoque - off-road cruise control.

In place, of course, and all kinds of systems active safety- automatic lane keeping, self-parking, active cruise control and other gizmos that are usually bragged about in progressive today automobile society. There are even as many as six systems that make trailer towing child's play.

Buyers will be given room for creativity. Conditional. The British could not ignore the market trends, and therefore, in addition to regular version the new Discovery will be featured 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, you won’t believe, everything external elements trims like grilles, mirrors and wheels will be black. Finally, the First Edition, limited to 2,400 copies, will reward enthusiasts with exclusive interior trim, special badges and three exterior color options.

The start of sales of the new Discovery is scheduled for spring 2017. The standard equipment for Russia will include heating of everything and everything, including the 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.

Photos of the new Land Rover Discovery 2017

The new Land Rover Discovery 5 has become a logical continuation of the Discovery line of models. The fifth generation of English SUVs, unlike its predecessors, is more focused on connoisseurs of comfort, family trips and travel than on extreme and off-road lovers. Land Rover engineers paid a lot of attention to the comfort of passengers, the spaciousness of the cabin and compartments for small items. Acustic systems, 4-zone climate control, heated all rows of seats, a 10-inch touch screen infotainment multimedia system - these are just a few of what is offered to customers in the updated version of Discovery 5.

Appearance

Externally, Discovery 5 has become more modern, stylish, sporty. This is no longer the aggressive and at the same time simple, brutal design SUV for driving on any roads. Now the car has become more family - for traveling with the whole family on any roads.

Dimensions

The new Land Rover is 4970mm long, 2220mm wide with mirrors and up to 1846mm high. On the one hand, the updated version is 141 mm longer than its predecessor, but at the same time, the width and height of the new Discover Sport 5 is almost the same as the previous model.

As for weight, the car has become lighter by almost 480 kg. This result was achieved by engineers through the use of a solid aluminum body structure - up to 83% aluminum, of which about 43% is recycled scrap metal. New model it is also environmentally friendly - it saves resources due to the recycling of metals and alloys.

The aluminum bodywork is made from extruded aluminum sheet, in the same way that Jaguar's high-end bodywork is made.

exterior design

Externally, the car looks like a huge Discovery Sport. Much-loved boxy variations in previous generations have been reimagined - the Land Rover Discovery 5 now has a more rounded, softer look, paying only a small tribute to the past in the form of an angular hood and a stepped roof. And, of course, the previous generation of cars is strongly reminiscent of a beveled at an angle rear pillar- the corporate identity of previous Land Rovers.

Interior

Inside, the updated Discovery 5 has become even more spacious and comfortable. At the same time, you can evaluate the level of finish and convenience inside the car even in the basic configuration.

Salon

The interior of the new Land Rover Discovery 5 has become much more spacious than its predecessor. This is especially noticeable on the 2nd and 3rd row of seats, where even tall people they will be able to drive comfortably and not think about how to fit their legs in the car.

The panoramic roof is the largest of any Land Rover model.

The cabin has plenty of storage space. According to Land Rover engineers, it was possible to offer up to 65% of free space. Up to 4 iPads can be easily placed under the center console, and 5 iPad Minis can fit in the center armrest

Comfort

The stepped roof provides additional space in the cabin for tall rear passengers. Of course, you should not count on luxurious comfort, but passengers on rear seats still enjoy the ride. According to research conducted by car company engineers, up to 95% of adults can comfortably accommodate even in the last row.

All three rows of seats are heated, but only the first two are climate controlled. However, heating of all seats is available only in some trim levels - in basic version"warm" seats are not provided. Both the second and third rows have ISOFIX child seat anchorages. The 2nd and 3rd rows can be folded both through the control via the touch panel on the back of the seats, and through the standard control buttons. There is another way to fold the seats - using mobile devices.

Trunk capacity ranges from 258 liters with the seats folded down to 2406 liters with the 2nd and 3rd rows folded down.

Multimedia and control

The center console features a new 10-inch touch screen. This is real multimedia system, which allows you to control the main functions of the car. You can also synchronize with smartphone applications through the screen. There is a built-in 4G Wi-Fi hotspot with the ability to connect up to 8 devices simultaneously. Up to 9 USB ports are provided for various devices– from flash drives and mobile phones to tablets, external hard drives and more. You can always recharge your tablet, smartphone or other mobile device, because the system has 4 outputs for fast charging.

The new Land Rover Discovery does not have a touchscreen display for climate control - the updated version of the car uses the same temperature control option as in the F-Type or Range Rover models.

Innovation and technology

Have you dreamed of controlling the position of the seats with your smartphone? In Discovery 5 you have such an opportunity. Thanks to Seat Fold technology, you can control the second and third row of seats not only with special panel on the backs, but also via smartphone or tablet. According to the company's engineer, this function is necessary for people shopping in the supermarket and thinking in advance how to fit luggage inside the car.

The improved Tow Assist system makes it easier to control the trailer while driving. This assistant is especially useful when driving. in reverse when the driver's view is limited.

The Trailer Light Test function will allow you to control the operation of brake lights and turn lights without the help of strangers - a test of the operation of the signals directly from the car interior. And with Trailer Stability Assist, you can forget about tipping over a loaded trailer, boat or boat, because the system detects trailer sway while driving and automatically reduces speed to regain control.

Discovery 5 is the first vehicle in the Land Rover lineup to feature electronic control height of the rear part of the body for hitching a trailer at an optimal level. Height adjustment is carried out both with a key fob and with a switch located in the trunk.

Suspension and drive

The 2017 Land Rover Discovery 5 features conventional air suspension. To facilitate the boarding of passengers in the car, the ground clearance can be reduced by 60 mm, and to increase the car's off-road patency, the clearance can be increased by 75 mm. Standard ground clearance is 283 mm - not a record for SUVs, but enough for most tasks.

IN standard conditions the drive has a 50:50 torque distribution, but when driving conditions change, the 2-speed transfer case with synchronizers provides a convenient and safe redistribution of torque between high and low torque ratios along the axles without stopping the car.

For safe driving in difficult conditions The updated version of Discovery 5 provides several systems and features. For example, Gradient Release Control provides a smooth release of the car from the brake after stopping on the descent or Wade Sensing - a kind of sonar that displays information on the display.

Security and management

Land Rover engineers have relied on semi-automatic. This means that the driver gets almost complete freedom behind the wheel of the new Land Rover Discovery 5. The only cases when the intelligent auto system switches control of the car to itself is the operation of the Park Assist (parking assistant when making maneuvers) or Blind Spot Assist, as well as emergency braking, including when pedestrians are detected on the vehicle's path. And, of course, the electronics will automatically limit the speed of movement. vehicle, unless you have previously disabled the Smart Speed Limiter.

IN standard equipment the buyer has access to traditional security systems - this is adaptive cruise control, and a blind spot monitoring system, and a road marking detection system, automatic lighting change and much more. test results Euro NCAP not yet, but they are unlikely to be inferior to the results of their predecessor.

Specifications

As for the engines installed in the new Land Rover, 3 options will be available to choose from:
