Specifications of Land Rover Discovery 4. Traction-Speed ​​And Weight Characteristics

The Land Rover Discovery 4 mid-size premium SUV is a deep restyling of the Discovery 3 predecessor, based on a shortened Range Rover platform. The angular contours of the body on the Discovery 4 are preserved, although the corners have become more rounded, a raised grille and a solid rather than segmented bumper have appeared. The design of the front lighting in the form of intersecting circles is retained, but the design is completely different: the intelligent High Beam Assist headlight switching system and LEDs (also in the taillights) have been introduced. The characteristic stepped roof is made entirely of glass. The design of the asymmetric double-leaf tailgate has also been retained. The Disco 4 load-bearing body retained the proprietary frame integrated into the power frame (Body-Frame).

The base for the Disco 4 remained a 2.7-liter 190-horsepower turbodiesel with a Common Rail system and a variable geometry turbine. It is complemented by a 3-liter TDV6 twin-turbo diesel with 245 hp. with improved efficiency by 9% and increased torque by 29% (up to a sensational 600 Nm). The gasoline 5-liter V8 engine has a power of 375 hp. An optimized 6-speed “automatic” with quick gear shifting is aggregated with all engines, and with a 2.7-liter turbodiesel, there is also a 6-speed manual gearbox.

The advanced Terran Response™ intelligent all-wheel drive system adjusts the stiffness of the suspension depending on road conditions and optimizes the operation of the power unit and the Torsen center differential lock, as well as the rear axle differential, for real road conditions. At the bottom of the console is a five-position round control selector.

The active dampers are equipped with DampTronic Valve Technology™, which maintains the body height and adapts to individual driving conditions (for ordinary roads, slippery grass / gravel / snow, mud, sand and large boulders).

The Disco 4 is equipped with a full array of safety assistance systems: EBA Emergency Brake Assist, ETC Traction Control, DSC Vehicle Stability Control, ARM Active Roll Mitigation, HDC Hill Descent with RSC Anti-Roll Assist and Trailer Assist.

Between the analog tachometer and the clock in the instrument cluster is a 5-inch TFT infotainment display. Night illumination of devices and some parts of the cabin is carried out by LEDs. The audio system received an interface for connecting portable devices, including MP3 players, i-Pods, as well as five digital cameras of all-round outdoor surveillance. Entering the car and starting the engine are carried out without the usual key. The three-row 7-seater saloon is made in an "amphitheater" (the rear rows are consistently higher than the front seats). The third row of seats fold down to create a flat load compartment floor.

The basic configuration of the "S" Discovery 4 includes: 18" alloy wheels, power mirrors, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, central locking and power windows, heated seats, climate control, an on-board computer, a CD / MP3 player.

An intermediate position is occupied by the new LR-SDV6 3.0 diesel engine with two turbochargers and a parallel-sequential turbocharging system. The system increases the pressure of the air supplied to the engine cylinders, allowing more fuel to be injected, achieving more power and delivering increased torque even at very low revs. In the Russian specification, this motor is set to 249 “forces”. Transmission - 8-speed, with Drive Select and paddle shifters for manual gear shifting.

Land Rover Discovery 4 has a fully independent suspension - on double wishbones front and rear, with stabilizers, while the basic version uses springs, in more expensive trim levels - pneumatics, which allows you to adjust the ride height.
