Teaser? What teaser? Land Rover has released the first official images of its new Discovery, which is due to make its world premiere at the end of September. And they reveal plenty.
Yes, rather than releasing an obscure close-up of a headlamp or an arty image of a side-mirror, the British automaker has decided to provide us with a full view of the fifth-generation SUV’s face. Refreshing in a world full of teaser shots, if you ask us.
The image shows that the new seven-seater Discovery has adopted the latest Land Rover family face, which means it shares basic styling cues with the likes of the Evoque, Discovery Sport and even the Range Rover.
And the brand promises that, despite the change in styling, the newcomer will be just as capable as its forebear.
“New Discovery redefines the large SUV. Land Rover’s design and engineering teams have revolutionised the Discovery DNA to create a highly desirable, extremely versatile and hugely capable premium SUV,” said Gerry McGovern, Land Rover’s Chief Design Officer.
Expect to learn more about the new Discovery on 28 September, ahead of the Paris Motor Show.
UPDATE:
The guys at CarScoops.com managed to get a hold of some leaked images from what looks like the Discovery’s brochure. From what we can see this is pretty much a Discovery Sport. Unlike previous generations, it’s also far of from its heritage but maybe change is good.
It’s still expected to be revealed at the Paris Motor Show as stated above.
