In the 25 years since its launch, the Land Rover Discovery
has carved an enviable reputation for itself - from deserts, jungles and barren
peaks, where its unrivalled capability sees it through the harshest terrain, to
cities and country tracks worldwide, where its distinctive blend of spacious
design and innovative versatility have made it a global success, winning
numerous awards and clocking up impressive sales figures.
The Discovery is now on a journey of transformation and is
set to change the face of the next generation too. From 2015 onwards, the
Discovery nameplate will be borne by not just a single model but a distinct
range of vehicles that symbolize the essence of the premium, lifestyle-orientated
SUV in the leisure category.
The Discovery Concept, unveiled at
the 2014 New York International Auto Show, is a vision into the future of Land Rover's new family of
leisure vehicles. Though a full-size SUV, it looks remarkably compact. This has
been achieved through a combination of well-considered design elements such as
wrap-around headlamps and tail lamps and the short front and rear overhangs
serving to reduce the visual length.
