The new, fourth generation of the Land Rover highly versatile seven-seater vehicle gains a new name - Land Rover Discovery 4 - to go with his powerful and highly efficient new TDV6 diesel engine, fresh identity more premium exterior and cabin. The leader of the kind of capability extends across even more dynamic, with improvements to both road and off-road driving, and Land Rover has added a set of easy to use new technologies and features.

Star billing in the Land Rover Discovery 4 goes to the very powerful and refined new LR-TDV6 3.0 twin-turbo diesel engine. This provides a 9 percent fuel economy improvement (EU combined cycle) and ten percent less CO2 emissions, while increasing power by 29% compared with every 2.7-liter engine. The torque is further increased to 36% of 600Nm - believes that the highest torque output of 6-cylinder production diesel passenger car engine in the world.

The power and torque can be reached throughout the rev range, to offer immediate throttle response effortless cruising and capacity.The results include a time of 0 to 60 mph in 9.0 seconds (0-100 km / h in 9.6 seconds), a 24 percent improvement over 2.7 liters.

Land Rover engineers have transformed the road trip and handling the new generation Land Rover Discovery 4, and even improved in the almost legendary off-road capability of its predecessor. The changes include new suspension components, management review, bigger brakes, improved traction control, and improvements to the award winning field ResponseTM system, which helps optimize the vehicle for almost any road or off the road driving situations.

The iconic exterior design has been updated, the most obvious, with smooth surfaces and easy on the front, including a new and more aerodynamic bumpers. The new sports help give new character vehicle lights, and include front and rear LED technology. The sophisticated new headlight High Beam Assist include, on or off as conditions require.

The interior is completely redesigned, with a hyphen and became the center console, new seats and a host of new user-friendly features. New features available for the Land Rover Discovery 4 includes a portable audio interface, DAB radio, a new chamber of five 'envelope' system, to facilitate parking and towing, and a new key system that offers Keyless entry and push button start. 

The new discovery is full of features designed to reduce fuel consumption and reduce CO2 emissions. The new LR-sequential TDV6 3.0 Turbo Diesel engine was designed from the outset to deliver class-leading fuel economy and better low-end torque. Parallel sequential turbocharging system of the 3.0-liter diesel uses the most, primary turbo most of the time. The lowest upper secondary turbo idle when power is not required, reducing pumping losses and therefore fuel consumption. A highly efficient, the third-generation common rail injection system with piezoelectric injectors and fuel metering, it also makes a substantial contribution to fuel economy.

The new engine has been optimized for low end torque and the economy, which activates the clutch lock ZF HP-28 automatic transmission at lower speeds. This policy reduces the hydraulic torque converter to improve fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.The more torque at low revs and orientation allows more economical cruising.

The discovery includes several other energy saving features as well. At rest, the idle speed of the V6, has been reduced from 750rpm to 710rpm, which means fuel savings without compromising refinement. An intelligent system intelligent power management features Regenerative load, so that wherever possible the alternator charges the battery when it is more economical to do so, as when the car is accelerating slide into place. Aerodynamic changes in the front, with the revised front wing below the chin and the new front wheel deflectors help reduce resistance below the increase of air flow.

The new air conditioner pump is driven through a clutch to deactivate the air conditioning when not in use, reducing parasitic losses and distribution of improvements in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. At the heart of the improvements made with the Land Rover Discovery 4 is an exceptional and highly efficient new diesel engine. The TDV6 turbodiesel sequential LR-3.0 is based on the current LR-TDV6 2.7 liter engine, but radically redesigned to offer substantially improved performance, reduced emissions and better fuel economy.

The 2.7 liters has won many admirers as one of the most refined diesel engines ever made. The new twin-turbocharged 3.0 LR-TDV6 has significant increases in power - up to 29 percent to 245PS - and even, to 36 percent of 600Nm. The ability to deliver maximum torque at just 2000rpm, with no throttle response, improves substantially the acclaimed Discovery and ability both on and off the road. The new 3.0-litre diesel can significantly out perform its rivals by delivering 500Nm in only 500 milliseconds from idle. From a driver's perspective, this means instant access to 83 percent of maximum torque.

But despite this extra performance, engine emissions were drastically reduced. When equipped with DPF, the new LR-TDV6 3.0 meets EU5 emission requirements (not to come into force until 2011) and a CO2 figure of 244g/km, which undermines the current 2.7-liter automatic ten per cent. Fuel economy is also improved by 9 percent, delivering 30.4mpg (9.3 l/100km) on the EU combined cycle.

The new 3.0-liter engine has been developed by a team of Jaguar Land Rover, with the base of features designed from the outset with the requirements of both brands in the mind. High levels of torque and low speed rapid response fits perfectly both Jaguar and Land Rover DNA. The version of Jaguar, the Gen III V6D AJ-S, was recently launched in the new Jaguar XF.

The LR-TDV6 engine has a sink deeper knowledge that his brother Jaguar, to ensure the efficiency of the lubrication system is not compromised when venturing off road. The oil recovery system of the turbochargers is improved by a similar reason, securing the oil does not accumulate in the turbochargers on end at the corners off the road conditions. 

The two cylinder heads with four valves per cylinder, made of aluminum and the cylinder block is made of compact graphite iron (CGI) as before. The greater the tensile strength of CGI can deliver a small block of about 80 mm shorter than the conventional gray cast iron equivalent. The new, water-cooled system of exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), important to reduce pumping losses and NOx emissions in a diesel engine is more efficient and consumes less energy than its predecessor, with the valves exhaust gas that allows the system to be located in the "hot face" of the engine exhaust manifold closer. These valves never cool while the engine is running, so there is no condensation of deposits of combustion occurs in engines with "cold side" the valves, so the EGR system always works at peak efficiency. Since the EGR cooling is so effective, the exhaust gases can bypass the system and return to the exhaust pipes, allowing faster warming of the engine starting and reduce emissions further.

EU 5 emission regulations have been achieved using conventional diesel oxidation catalysts and diesel particulate filters (DPF). Levels are reduced sufficiently at source NOx through combustion system design, the addition of the new common rail injection system and EGR system with the new bypass. As a result, specialized NOX aftertreatment of exhaust gases is not necessary, avoiding a possible cost and the need to resort to other precious metals in the exhaust system. 

A new brake system has been introduced larger, with new engines to meet the Land Rover Discovery 4 reinforced to improve braking performance and feel. This new system comes from the four-piston, opposed the execution-gauge system used in the Land Rover Range Rover Sport. It employs a 360mm ventilated front disc with a new cast iron twin-piston sliding gauge - which serves to reduce the size of your front brake, while preserving its rigidity, which in turn helps to achieve the pedal feels great. In the rear, single piston sliding caliber work in a ventilated 350mm disc, now made with aluminum to reduce vehicle weight.

Another step forward for the braking system is the new role of emergency brake light. When the vehicle is committed serious or emergency braking, the flash of brake lights, to reduce the risk of rear impact. 

The Land Rover Discovery has developed a design heritage 20 years and four generations of iconic, instantly recognizable vehicle. Land Rover Discovery 4 inherits the clean lines of the previous generation, but now subtly updated and more raw, more contemporary. Soft, using simple surfaces in the front, the vehicle that his new character, highlighted in search of sports headlights with new LED marker lamps configured in a single area, the company strengthened the profile of light on major units. New lights were also placed in the rear of the vehicle, which incorporates LED stop, tail and indicator of technology.

The new front bumper has a larger opening for the new engine cooling higher power products. Smart, the largest bumper car really improves aerodynamics to reduce drag, thanks to the innovative anti-resistance "lips" that help smooth the airflow around the front bumper to the front wheels.
