Packed with cutting-edge technology and performance enhancements, the Discovery 5 stands out as a testament to Land Rover’s commitment to innovation.

About The Discovery 5 And Its Features
One of the most striking features of the Land Rover Discovery 5 is its radical diet, shedding an impressive 480kg compared to its predecessor. This substantial weight loss is attributed to the extensive use of aluminium in its construction. While the car still maintains a robust kerbweight of well over 2,300kg, the reduction in weight contributes to improved fuel efficiency, handling, and overall performance.
The Discovery 5 engine options consist of a 3.0-litre mild-hybrid diesel unit, available in two states of tune: the D250 with 247bhp and the D300 with an impressive 296bhp. For petrol enthusiasts, the range includes the P360 variant, featuring a potent 3.0-litre straight-six engine that produces 355bhp. This diverse engine lineup ensures that every driver can find the perfect balance of performance and efficiency to suit their preferences.
Enhancing the Discovery 5’s capability on and off the road is the incorporation of electronically controlled air suspension and Land Rover’s renowned Terrain Response system. The air suspension provides a smooth and adaptable ride, adjusting to varying road conditions seamlessly. There vehicles have seriously impressive off road capabilities, incase you want to tackle some green lanes on the school run!
As for visual options, the Discovery 5 offers four distinct trim levels: S, Dynamic SE, Dynamic HSE, and the exclusive Metropolitan Edition. Each trim level comes with its unique set of features, allowing buyers to tailor their Discovery to their specific preferences and lifestyle.

The bodykit supplied by Urban Automotive was the most notable change. Hugely improving the road presence of this Discovery 5. We particularly like the front DRLs which are wired in – giving a very modern and clean aesthetic.
From front to back this Discovery has a really sleek, unique aesthetic. We offered a full body wrap to the customer but they decided to go with PPF. This way the original gloss paint finish is preserved and protected by the film. Although we love a wrap – you have to admit the black on black look suits the Discovery 5.
