For the first time ever, the Land Rover name will be sold in the U.S. At least using the name. Introducing the 5th generation 2017 Land Rover Discovery, the car that can go anywhere but will still provide comfort.

The re-invention of the old Land Rover Discovery is a success. Its new aluminum chassis has caused it to lose weight drastically for a better drag. The manufacturer filled it full of technology it can get its hands on to give a better driving experience.

According to Kelly Blue Book, the company decides to retain its 340 HP, 6-cylinder, 3.0 V6 engine as its main power plant.  It is aptly paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission gear shift for easy driving. It has enough space to carry 7 people and accelerate from 0-60 mph in just 6.09 seconds. Because of its weight loss, fuel economy went up to 21 miles for every gallon in the highway. It can also easily arrange its seats and also carries usb ports for your mobile phones.

For a $2,000.00 additional cost, you can have a 240 HP, V4 engine instead. A little smaller but better for hauling. Fuel economy will go up to 26 miles per gallon and acceleration to 7.7 seconds from 0-60 mph.

The company claims that the Land Rover Discovery is the best family SUV. It is such a tough claim but with its spacious cabin, powerful engine that offers smooth travels, refined specifications and countless features; indeed, it will pass in this category. Not only that its super high tech. Its infotainment can control its onboard features. It even has remote access through phone apps and also manual side buttons can give you many options to manipulate your car settings. The all-new Land Rover Discovery is truly a sophisticated and tough car.
