ON-ROAD DYNAMICS
All-New Discovery has been designed to a deliver a
confident, comfortable and engaging driving experience
to make the miles go by virtually unnoticed.
With its wide-spaced double-wishbone design at the front
and advanced multi-link layout at the rear, the suspension
delivers more responsive handling without compromising
Land Rover’s hallmark all-terrain capability.
Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) monitors All-New
Discovery’s dynamic behaviour, and intervenes if the
system determines that the vehicle is not responding
according to the driver’s inputs.
The DSC system operates by reducing engine torque
and/or applying the brakes on selected wheels to correct
the vehicle’s cornering attitude and in addition can
counteract understeer or oversteer conditions effectively.
This system is standard on all models.
All-New Discovery’s sublime ride quality is heightened
further by such features as Electronic Power Assisted
Steering (EPAS), a variable ratio system and speed
sensitive steering. Standard on all models, EPAS is
integrated into driver and chassis systems, helping to
reduce the engine load to aid efficiency and deliver
a confident and intuitive drive.
The variable ratio system has been tuned by Land Rover
engineers to provide ease of control, on or off-road, when
driving in a straight line or when turning. Different gear
ratios within the steering rack help to reduce steering
sensitivity when driving straight, but compensate for less
steering input when turning.
Speed sensitive steering increases the weight and feel of
the steering as your speed increases to give stability and
a greater feel of confidence. It also assists you at lower
speeds to aid manoeuvrability by lightening the feel of
steering. This system is standard on all models.
