Land Rover’s much anticipated new Discovery is now on sale in the UK – and it’s hit the ground running.
More than 4,000 UK orders have already been taken for the latest version of the iconic 4×4, and around 20,000 people worldwide have also put down deposits on one.
Prices for the new Discovery start from £43,495 for the 2.0 litre 4 cylinder version. But they can go much higher, a special ‘First Edition’ version, limited to an initial 600 UK buyers, costs £68,295.
The new model is up to 500kg lighter than the old, curvier, and packed with more technology.
Despite its civilised new look it’s actually better off road than its predecessor, however. It’ll also cost much less to run thanks to vastly improved fuel economy and CO2 emissions.
