      Land Rover to launch 2017 Discovery in October

      The Land Rover Discovery will be one of the 10 Jaguar and Land Rover cars to be launched in India, this year. While the Discovery has traditionally been the utilitarian sibling of the Range Rover, things have taken a turn with this new third generation model. Gone are the boxy looks, it now gets a slightly rounded design in line with the Land Rover’s new design philosophy.

      The new Discovery is built around a new aluminium-infused platform. This has helped the Discovery shed weight, making it lighter than its predecessor, despite the bigger dimensions. Powering the Discovery would be the new Ingenium series of four-cylinder engines, with a six-cylinder unit thrown in for those looking for better performance. Needless to say, driving modes and a four-wheel drive system with crawl function, hill descent and hill hold will be standard.

      The Discovery will be imported as a completely built unit, with a price tag on the range of Rs 1 crore. The launch of the new Discovery will be followed by the Range Rover Velar. It will rival the likes of the Mercedes-Benz GLS, BMW X5, Volvo XC90 and the Audi Q7.
