Land Rover is nowadays presentation a ancestors of gently chiseled full-size 4×4s .Think of it the same as Solihull’s answer to the altering zeitgeist and after that stride in Land Rover’s greening of its range. The new Discovery gains a clean new diesel and can now maintain a 30mpg average. There’s also a new inner and an external face.

The big news under the bonnet of Discovery 4 is the arrival of the new Jaguar Land Rover 3.0-litre V6 diesel. It’s an evolution of the current 2.7 TDV6 (which continues for base-end versions) and is equipped with the very latest in common-rail technology and a particulate filter to trim emissions to 244g/km, meet EU5 exhuast limits not due in until 2011, and hit an average of 30.4mpg.

rue, but the Discovery 4 gobbles around 10% less fuel than before; remember these 4×4 behemoths weigh in at a sturdy 2.7 tones or so. That kerbweight hasn’t really been addressed in this facelift – lighter weight Land Rovers won’t arrive until the next generations of all-new models arrive in the next decade, utilizing lighter weight construction methods.
