Fifth of the name, the next generation of Discovery will have a strong family resemblance to its predecessors. But its weight will be displayed in sharp decline.
Like its cousins ??Range Rover and Range Rover Sport, the next Discovery will follow a serious diet of aluminum. Without abandoning any of his traditional family vocation.
In its lighter version, the Discovery does not fall below 2.5 tonnes. Suffice to say it does not really play in the featherweight division. Without pretending to adopt the wasp waist of Caterham Super Seven, his successor will therefore not be difficult to do better in this area.
To achieve this, it will take the platform Range Rover Sport and Range, two models that have largely converted to aluminum. Depending on the version, the weight gain should thus be around 300 to 400 kg for the benefit of performance, agility and consumption. Sobriety to be pushed to the limit on the unique diesel hybrid variant, rechargeable mains.
To surf on the success of the Evoque, Range Rover will give him a long version, can accommodate seven passengers.
