The Land Rover Discovery 3 is an all-new SUV making its international debut
at the New York International Auto Show on April 7. This outstanding new vehicle
offers class-leading breadth of capability, innovative user-friendly technology
and new levels of interior space.
'A true Land Rover, the Discovery 3 benefits from a clarity of purpose and
conviction evident from the clean design to the versatility and outstanding
driving experience. Like all new Land Rovers it will be best-in-class off-road,
but also great to drive on-road,' said Matthew Taylor, managing director, Land
Rover.
The new Discovery will be powered by a Jaguar-sourced 4.4L 224kW V8 petrol
engine, and a 2.7L 142kW TdV6 diesel engine which develops 440Nm of torque –
both of which have been specifically tailored to meet Land Rover requirements
particularly for off-road usage. Other features include a six-speed ‘intelligent
shifting’ automatic gearbox, full-time 4x4, fully independent electronic air
suspension and up to seven adult-sized seats.
Smart user-friendly technology includes Land Rover’s new and patented
Terrain Response : the driver selects one of five terrain settings via a
rotary switch, and the vehicle’s many electronic controls and traction systems
are then optimised to suit the needs of that particular selected surface. Other
new technology includes DVD navigation and adaptive headlights.
Deliveries of the Land Rover Discovery 3 will commence into the Australian
market in Q4 2004 .
