2.7 TDV6 and the 180kW version of the SDV6 3.0, plus the powerful
5.0 V8 all equipped with the ultra-refined 6-speed automatic
transmission with command shift.
Discovery 4's design and equipment levels have been given a
makeover at 12MY. There are two new alloy wheel designs, two 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 standard with Bluetooth, and
available with 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.
Two new option packs
Two new option packs are available to customers for 2012 - the
Technology Pack and the Vision Assist Pack.
The Technology Pack includes Premium Navigation incorporating
4x4 off-road navigation, as well as 'Say What You See' voice
activation and Parking Aids for the front and rear with rear view
cameras.
The Vision Assist Pack has Xenon Adaptive Front Headlamps
including Cornering Lamps, Automatic Headlamps with High Beam
Assist and the Surround Camera System including Approach Lamps, Tow
Assist and Tow Hitch Assist.
Detail and design improvements for 2012
For 2012, crisp new steering column stalks with chrome bezels
provide clearer symbols and a new premium pebble-like design to the
smart key makes it both more attractive and easier to carry.
Externally a new 19" alloy wheel comes as standard on the HSE, the
11MY HSE wheel is applied to the SDV6 SE derivative whilst a Gloss
Black 20" 5 split-spoke wheel design and extended Satin Black roof
rails are available as customer options across the range.
Audio, Navigation and Rear Seat Entertainment move up to
another level
Discovery 4 audio systems have been rationalised and improved for
2012 and the electrical architecture upgraded to the latest MOST
Gen 2.1. A new, entry level 8-speaker system with colour display
replaces the previous system with black and white display. The
entry level system also has Bluetooth and USB/iPod connectivity.
The Hi-ICE Harman Kardon System has been upgraded from 9-speakers
to 11-speakers and the output boosted from 240W to a substantial
380W. The Premium Harman Kardon LOGIC 7 system has seen the most
dramatic improvement, from 14 to 17 speakers and an almost
unbelievable increase in output power from 480W to a staggering
825W.
The higher end touch-screen audio systems were previously
available only in conjunction with a navigation system but are now
available independently. Navigation is available in two levels -
Base and Premium, with the latter enhanced with voice activation.
Touch screens have been revised with a new, contemporary style and
a 'Virtual CD Autochanger' on models equipped with hard-disc
navigation allows storage of up to 10 albums in uncompressed format
on the same hard drive. 'Say What You See' voice activation gets
over the problem of memorising commands and prompts the driver by
displaying commands in a step-by-step format on the screen. Voice
commands can be run together as shortcuts and the system is
activated by the Push-to-Talk (PTT) button on the steering
wheel.
Rear Seat Entertainment (RSE) is now equipped with a single slot
DVD drive in the audio head unit so the disc can be conveniently
loaded from inside the cabin. This new system replaces the previous
six DVD Changer accessed through the luggage compartment. The rear
seat audio system is operated by new powerful wireless technology
called WhiteFireTM via cordless headphones, and can also be
controlled by remote control. The system supports connectivity with
games consoles and video playback of MP4 files stored on USB.
The phonebook capacity for the Discovery 4 has increased
significantly for 2012 from 700 entries to several thousand, whilst
the TFT Message Centre interface has been redesigned to display
audio, phone and navigational information.
Land Rover Homelink takes the hassle out of
homecoming
Returning home is just that little bit easier for owners with
remote opening gates or garage doors. The Homelink option is
packaged with High Beam Assist and can learn the frequencies of
most transmitters used to operate automated garage doors and gates.
The press of a button is all it takes to operate.
Deliveries will commence from November this year. Pricing will
be announced closer to launch.
