New Spyshots Reveal Next-Gen Land Rover Discovery 5
By: Theo Ford-Sagers
Date: 26.10.2015

Our spyshots reveal test mules of the Land Rover Discovery 5, which is due to be unveiled in 2016.

LRO’s eagle-eyed snappers have grabbed some shots of the 2017 Land Rover Discovery 5, still thoroughly under wraps. Here’s what we know…



1. The Discovery 5 will be made from aluminium

Using the PLA (‘Premium Lightweight Architecture) of the Range Rover and Range Rover Sport will enable Land Rover to extract up to half a tonne off the weight of the Discovery 4, whose 2.5-tonne steel bulk has been its Achilles heel for a while now. That should bring significant handling and economy advantages compared to the current model.



2. It’ll be Ingenium powered

One of the vehicles in our spyshots is powered by 3.0-litre diesel engine, and 3.0-litre petrol versions have also been spotted elsewhere. We know that the new Ingenium engine has been designed with larger displacements and cylinder counts in mind, so it’s possible that these are the new, 3.0 V6 Ingenium units that our sources have hinted at.

The other vehicle is a 2.0-litre diesel. Generating a maximum of 187bhp in the current Disco Sport, the 2.0-litre Ingenium diesel might feel puny in the larger Discovery 5… unless it was boosted by hybrid power. The PLA was engineered from the outset to accommodate full hybrid drive, which is available in the Range Rover and Range Rover Sport. Applying that engineering to the Discovery 5 would seem logical…



3. It’ll resemble the Discovery Vision concept

If you’ve come to love the Discovery 4’s brick-like road presence, you might not like what’s coming. The Disco 5 will be much closer to the Discovery Vision concept (unveiled in April last year) than its predecessor.

At first glance the development vehicles seem to have large, bulging hindquarters, but compare them against the silhouette of the Discovery Vision concept and you’ll see the resemblance. They share the shallow stepped roofline, curved clamshell bonnet (like the Disco Sport) and those vertical front bumper intakes. The concept’s pillarless doors and lack of B-pillar may be too much to ask for though…



4. It’ll be priced accordingly…

Industry experts have speculated that using the light-weight PLA architecture could add up to Ŗ7000 to the starting price of the Discovery 5. With the current vehicle available from Ŗ41,600 in the UK, this would give a starting from for the Discovery 5 of around Ŗ49,000.

The wraps should be off during 2016, with production expected to begin in early 2017. Make sure to keep an eye on LRO.com for the latest news on the future of the Land Rover Discovery…

A new Discovery in more ways than one: this is the all-new 2016 Land Rover Discovery, spied testing once again, this time during winter testing.

Under the wild black and white camouflage, it seems the iconic Discovery silhouette has undergone a significant change. The roofline appears dramatically lower (although there’s still a subtle step-up in height towards the stern), and the front more rounded, with a similar nose treatment to the smaller Discovery Sport. Seems the days of the high-rise, Lego-block Disco are gone. Shock and indeed horror, for many existing fans we're sure.

The new, more slim-line form is likely to be the result of a dramatic drop in kerb weight for the 2016 Disco compared with the outgoing model, aided by new, largely aluminium architecture. Ignore the sausage-shaped contours along the car’s flanks - that's camouflage subterfuge, disguising the body's actual surfacing below.

2016 Land Rover Discovery: the background

The Discovery turned 25 years old in 2014, a year in which it become a family of vehicles as Land Rover launched the Discovery Sport to create a two-model Disco line-up. The car spied here is the fifth-generation replacement for the full-size Discovery, as previewed by the Discovery Vision concept.

And whereas the entry-level Evoque is the most radical interpretation of the Range Rover family's design language, Land Rover’s design director and chief creative officer Gerry McGovern says the bigger Discovery will be more adventurous in its appearance than the smaller Discovery Sport.

The Discovery Sport effectively replaces the Freelander, as Land Rover aligns it brands so there are three families: Range Rover, Discovery, and Defender. 'One of them is about luxury: Range Rover,' says McGovern. 'Leisure, that’s Discovery, and that’s in the plural because at the moment we’ve only got one Discovery, but we’re doing more, starting with the Discovery Sport.

'And there’s dual purpose, our Defenders. We are going to do a new Defender, or Defenders, a whole new generation. We thought it’s about time as it’s 60 years since the original. And we’re not just going to talk about it either, we’re going to do it…'
What’s the difference between the ‘luxury’ Range Rovers and ‘leisure’ Discovery models then?

According to McGovern, the Discovery family will increase its ‘premium execution’, which will move the new models closer to the Range Rovers, but also serve to broaden their appeal. McGovern says the utilitarian Discovery 3 proved quite polarizing, but the mid-life facelift that turned it into Discovery 4 (with a posher Range Sport interior and no more black plastic body cladding) was much more popular with customers.

To differentiate Discos from RR, the former will be much more versatile, with seven seats, lots of stowage space for families, and practical touches, whereas the full-size Rangie will only ever seat five and the Range Sport, at best, remains a 5+2.

Yet while the full-size Disco is the next Discovery on the way, there are more Range Rovers coming too: ‘They are probably more radical than the Evoque was, or certainly not what you might expect from Range Rover,’ reveals McGovern. ‘One in particular looks fantastic…’

That’s expected to be a new model that’ll sit between the Evoque and Range Sport, and is set to be twinned with Jaguar’s first ever SUV, but McGovern admits there are other markets into which the RR brand can expand: ‘There’s more than one gap, so we are looking at other opportunities to grow, so watch this space…’
What about this new family of Defenders?

If the RR and Disco sit closely together, McGovern says the new line-up of Defenders will stretch out the Land Rover brand. ‘Discovery is getting closer to Range Rover,’ he says. ‘But the Defenders, when you see those coming, they’ll really bring clarity to the three-family scenario. They’re out there, a working tool, probably closest to the original Land Rover heartland, but still relevant.’

Land Rover DC100 concepts

And whereas McGovern worries a utilitarian look limits the appeal of the Range Rovers and Discos, it’s less of an issue for Land Rover’s third family (previewed by the DC100 concepts, above). ‘For the Defender it’s something else. There is that utilitarian look, but it’s inextricably linked to the original so you get over it. The Defender is about durability – you kick the hell out of them and they get up for more.’
Will there be more than one Defender?

There will be a number of different Defender models, to help Land Rover sell over 70k units a year, and to appeal to the Land Rover traditionalists who might perhaps be put off by the new Discos and RRs.

'We need the Defender to wash its wash in terms of investment,' admits McGovern. 'So there will be opportunities for different-sized vehicles: in the Middle East, for example, they want really big vehicles; in other markets the appetite is for small vehicles; and I’d argue you need the iconic three-door there as well.'

Not that the styling will be retro, as McGovern says the new models will bear no resemblance to the DC100 concepts: 'I think the Defender was good for it’s time, but I think we’ve got to be quite radical, and create if we create a vehicle that is special and does resonate with people, they will forget what they had before.'
Next you’ll be telling me Land Rover is looking at vehicles that aren’t SUVs?

Well… 'I’ve got an open mind about it,' reveals McGovern. 'Porsche and Bentley started with sports cars but now it’s saloons and SUV-type product, so why can’t we reverse that? You might argue that’s Jaguar territory, but Land Rover and Jaguar are such different brands I don’t think there’s any risk.

'I could see incredibly luxurious Range Rovers that are lower-slung, cruisers that are more on-road biased, but still have the ability through air suspension to get up and there and do the things they’ve always done. It’s a pity I can’t show you anything, it’d make it much easier to explain…'

The New, Land Rover Discovery 5 will join the Discovery Sport when it’s officially launched on 28 September 2016 preceding the Paris Motor Show. It’s thought the new model will cost roughly the same as the current model’s Ŗ50,000 entry price. - See more at: https://www.carwow.co.uk/news/land-rove ... isUHg.dpuf

Kurb jah, et uus disco nüüd selline. Kui oleks raha ja peaks valima, siis ostaks uue RR-i hoopis, kuna seal rohkem ruumi.
