2012 Land Rover Discovery 4

New features for 2012 ensure the Discovery 4 remains crowned the world’s most capable all-purpose vehicle...

  • Winner of 36 awards since launch in 2009
  • CO2 emissions down from 244g/km to 224g/km on entry-level 3.0 LR-TDV6
  • Power increased from 245PS to 256PS on higher power diesel and CO2 down to 230g/km
  • New ZF 8HP70 automatic transmission comes with rotary gear shift selector and paddle shift
  • Entry-level audio and navigation systems now compatible with Bluetooth, DAB & USB/iPod
  • Premium Harmon Kardon LOGIC 7 now boasts 17 speakers and 825W of power
  • Rear Seat Entertainment now available via WhiteFireTM wireless technology
  • 'Say What You See' voice activation system

The outstanding 211PS 3.0 LR-TDV6 diesel remains the entry level choice for Land Rover Discovery 4 customers in European markets conforming to EU5 emissions regulations. For 2012, the engine has been further improved with a reduction in CO2 emissions from 244g/km to 224g/km thanks to a low-flow fuel injection system and a new, highly efficient, ZF 8HP70, 8-speed automatic transmission.

This new 8-speed transmission benefits the high powered 3.0 LR-SDV6 with an increase in power output from 245PS to 256PS and helps drive down CO2 emissions from 244g/km to 230g/km.

In conjunction with the new transmission, the Land Rover Discovery 4 is now equipped with the rotary gear shift selector and steering wheel-mounted paddle shift. All EU5 models are equipped with a diesel particulate filter (DPF), making them among the cleanest diesel engines on the market.

European markets and countries still conforming to EU4 regulations, will receive the existing 245PS version of the LR-SDV6 3.0, equipped with the ultra-refined 6-speed automatic transmission with command shift.

In addition to the driveline improvements, the Discovery 4’s design and equipment levels have been given a makeover too. There are two new alloy wheel designs, three new option packs and improved audio and navigation systems based on the latest MOST Gen 2.1 electrical architecture. The entry-level audio system has now been upgraded with a colour screen replacing the previous black and white unit and available with Bluetooth, DAB and USB/iPod connectivity. Also for the first time, the audio system is available with a non-navigation touch-screen.

The new GEN 2.1 provides enhancements to the Premium Harmon Kardon LOGIC 7 system with an astonishing 825W of power through a 17-speaker system whilst the new ‘Say What You See’ voice command on premium systems allows the driver to use spoken shortcut commands.
