All-New Discovery features a choice of intelligent,
permanent Land Rover 4 Wheel Drive (4WD) systems to
deliver unrivalled, all-weather and all-surface capability.
You can select from the following systems depending
on capability requirements:
SINGLE SPEED TRANSFER BOX*
This system has a single set of high range, road biased
gears with the intelligence to sense wheel slip and move
torque to the other axle to provide additional traction.
It normally delivers 42 percent drive to the front axle
with 58 percent drive biased to the rear axle. The centre
differential is reactive to wheel slip on one axle and can
change the amount of bias to add more torque and traction
to the other axle to support.
PERMANENT 4 WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEMS SUSPENSION
COIL SUSPENSION*
All-New Discovery has a fully independent coil sprung
suspension system that combines double wishbones
at the front with an advanced multi-link rear suspension
design to create an agile and responsive chassis.
Ride comfort and stability when heavily laden are
optimised through the use of additional secondary
springs incorporated within the rear suspension.
ELECTRONIC AIR SUSPENSION
A sure-footed, composed drive is completed by the latest
four-corner which provides exceptional wheel articulation
and poise.
Capable of taking on tough situations, this system is
designed to keep All-New Discovery stable no matter
how rough the terrain. For unprecedented ride quality,
it switches heights seamlessly when necessary.
Air suspension also allows for innovative new access
features to enhance versatility and ease of use.
Automatic Access Height is a feature which automatically
lowers the ride height by 40mm when the vehicle is parked.
Rear Height Adjust allows the use of switches in the
loadspace or on the key fob to lower the rear ride height.
Available as an option on Td6 S and standard on Td6 SE,
HSE, HSE Luxury and Si6 engines.
DRIVING TECHNOLOGY
TWIN-SPEED TRANSFER BOX
An additional set of lower gears can prove invaluable in
challenging conditions such as steep inclines or declines,
off-road driving or when towing. This system gives you
precise speed and control in such instances. The heart of
the twin-speed system is the electronic centre differential
that offers a 50:50 torque split between front and rear
axles with the ability to pre-emptively lock the axles
before slip commences. Available as an option on Td6 S
and standard on Td6 SE, HSE, HSE Luxury and Si6 engines.
ACTIVE REAR LOCKING DIFFERENTIAL
The active rear electronic differential – an option when the
vehicle has air suspension and twin-speed transfer box –
offers an additional benefit of controlling the slip between
the left and right wheels on the rear axle. This can be
especially useful in low grip conditions such as on wet grass
where the vehicle monitors the slip and torque between
front and rear axles and also from one wheel to another
on the rear axle to deliver effortless capability.
*Only available on TD6 S models.
Features and their availability may differ by vehicle specification and market.
