Land Rover vehicles have firmly secured their status as one of the best SUVs in the world, and this is not only about off-road qualities, but also about the reliability of all components and assemblies. One of the brightest representatives of the company's model range is the Land Rover model, which first appeared in 1989 and is very popular among true off-road lovers.
Fall 2016 became a landmark for the model, as the management of Land Rover presented the 5th generation of Discovery, the appearance of which has nothing to do with the angular and cubic exterior of its predecessors.
Following the exterior, the engineers rethought the technical component of the car, which made it possible not only to reduce the total weight and reduce fuel consumption, but also to improve its dynamic characteristics.
Thus, the company is trying to "take away" part of the sales from its main competitors - Volvo XC90, Mercedes GLE-class and Audi Q7. It's too early to talk about the results, but the company has really done a tremendous job, presenting to the world public a completely rethought and perfectly balanced car.
Exterior of Land Rover Discovery 5
The exterior of the new Discovery 5 Land Rover 2017 is tailored to the corporate identity of the company's latest models, including the luxurious Range Rover, the budget Discovery Sport and the hugely popular Evoque. The car lost its angular shape and acquired a new streamlined design that made the car more modern and elegant.
The front of the SUV received a new LED headlight optics, a neat trapezoidal false radiator grille, as well as a massive front bumper with original air intakes and special plastic protection, reminiscent of the serious off-road capabilities of the model.
The profile of the new Discovery looks more dynamic and assertive, aided by the developed side relief, the long bonnet and the forward-tilted C-pillar.
Special attention should be paid to the collection of 12 types of light-alloy wheels R19-22, the design of which was created especially for this model.
The rear of the SUV captivates with the presence of a huge fifth door with a large glass area, new LED position lights, an asymmetric niche for a license plate and a powerful rear bumper. To the delight of fans of the first generations of Discovery, the novelty has retained the signature elevation in the rear of the roof, which has long become the hallmark of an SUV.
External dimensions of the car are:
- Length - 4970 mm;
- Width - 2073 mm (2200 mm including side mirrors);
- Height - 1846 mm;
- Wheelbase equal to 2923 mm.
The ground clearance in basic modifications is 220 mm, and in more advanced ones, with air suspension installed, it can vary between 160-284 mm.
Potential buyers are offered a wide range of body colors, represented by 17 variations, among which Namib Orange, Montalcino Red, Farallon Black and Aruba are especially impressive.
Land Rover Discovery 5 (2017) interior review
The interior design of the car, despite its laconicism, looks modern, noble and expensive. It is dominated by exclusively purebred finishing materials - genuine leather, wood and aluminum. The quality of fit of parts and interior elements is fully consistent with the class and status of the car and is able to withstand even the harshest criticism.
The front fascia of the SUV has a lot in common with the flagship Range Rover, which is more an advantage than a disadvantage. In front of the driver is a massive multifunctional steering wheel, as well as a laconic and well-read instrument panel, represented by two dial wells and an on-board computer LCD located between them.
