The Discovery models are known to be the best in the Land Rover model range and are known to be the best off-roader not only in the UK but across the globe as well and when it comes to the best of the best there is nothing else but Land Rover Discovery 4 who rules on SUV department from past many years.
The automotive experts and people who use the Land Rover Discovery for their African safari trips in African jungles, consider the Discovery models as Swiss army knife in their vehicle fleet for jungle trips.
The Discovery engines are highly modifiable units and they are ultimate performers too. When it comes to comfort, the Discovery 4 is one of the most comfortable off-roading vehicle ever developed by JLR.
This legendary MPV and a 4×4 vehicle are proved to be the best family car in the UK as well. It can carry a full family of 7 people very easily and if they are all adults with their luggage to carry as well, there is no issue at all.
The Discovery 4 is full of the features and gadgets to assist the driver in multi-tasking while on the go. On the motorway cruise, it is comfortable to people carrier and thunders like a pro when goes on countryside roads.
Compare to the previous models in the UK market, the latest Discovery 4 model was introduced as one of the best developed and designed model at the same time.
Land Rover Discovery 4 is a powerful, ultra-efficient and rocking performer on all type of terrains. The engine family of Discovery 4 comprises four types of engines. There are four-cylinder engines offered for the first time on the Discovery 4, the Ingenium engines family in diesel variation.
Her Majesty the Queen inaugurated the engine manufacturing plant in Midlands a few years back under the management of TATA group of India. Now all the engines being used in Jaguar or Land Rover models are produced by JLR. Initially, the Discovery was using the same 2.7 litre engine which was being used in Jaguar XF saloon.
The petrol version is also available of four-cylinder engines. There are six-cylinder engines on both fuel types, SDV6 engines for petrol lovers and TDV6 engines for those who love to go on diesel. Each and every engine offered on the Discovery 4 is much capable and compete for the rivals in the market with hard handedly.
The rivals include Audi Q7, BMW X5 and Volvo XC90 in the UK market. Nissan Qashqai is far down in the list of competitors. JLR took the initiative to produce their own engines to get rid of the BMW and Ford engines on their models.
It has been improved for the Discovery models now to produce 252hp at just 4000rpm and 442 lb-ft of torque from only 2000rpm. It is the only engine comes with the ZF8HP transmission as standard. This eight-speed automatic gearbox is designed to handle the torque coming from the TDV6 engine.
On the motorway cruise, the Discovery 4 cannot compete to its counterpart Jaguar XF saloon with the same engine but when it comes to off-road, none of the vehicles in the world can beat the performance of this legend. Unbeatable power and matchless refinement deliver the utmost performance at ultimate efficiency. This legend is not born to be the motorway cruiser, it is born to work hard on the bad terrains thus, and the 0-62 miles per hour speed scale is not for this vehicle to be very honest. There might be some new scales to measure the performance and ability of this legendary 4×4.
