The all-new 2023 Land Rover Discovery will arrive with a mid-cycle facelift. First spy photos are already here, and a new model will be fully presented at some point in 2021 before going on sale later in the year. The Discovery is a popular vehicle, but Land Rover is eager to give it another makeover. A new model, like the previous one, will receive mid-cycle updates.
According to the spy photographs, the new model hasn’t changed all that much. All of the changes are minor, with the front fascia bearing the brunt of them. The cabin will also be improved, and Land Rover claims that the all-new Discovery will be greener than ever before. As you probably know, Defender and Discovery models are sharing the platform. However, that is about to change, so the new Discovery could arrive with some sort of hybrid powertrain.
2023 Defender Spy Photos
The forthcoming 2023 Land Rover Discovery will receive a mid-cycle makeover. Some things appear familiar in light of the most recent spy pictures. The spied prototype comes with a small amount of camouflage, so the majority of the modifications are evident at first sight. The most significant improvements will be made to the front section. To begin, a new set of LED headlights is now available.
As a result, this SUV now has a more distinct appearance and personality. The style on the sides is really appealing, and the prototype is outfitted with the same black wheels as the previous generation. The rear part will receive small tweaks, such as slightly reshaped taillights and a bolder bumper, which will be barely noticeable.
Interior Changes
The cabin of the new 2023 Land Rover Discovery will mostly remain intact. The interior arrangement is the same, and even the cabin design is the same. The Discovery SUV is available in two-row and three-row configurations, with the third row reserved for higher trim levels such as Landmark and HSE Luxury. The lower trim levels all have a five-seat layout. The Discovery model has 10.1 cubic feet of cargo space, which isn’t much.
Folding the seats, on the other hand, will give up to 83.7 cubic feet of room. The entry-level Discovery SE specification has dual-zone temperature control, 12-way power-adjustable front seats, a sunroof, and a leather interior. A 10-inch infotainment display is standard once again, but the manufacturer will deliver new infotainment. Moreover, Discovery SUV will also provide new safety aids.
Discovery SUV Delivers Great Off-Road Ability
The standard 3.0-liter V6 gasoline engine with 340 horsepower will remain available in the 2023 Land Rover Discovery. A 3.0-liter V6 diesel engine with 254 horsepower and 443 lb-ft of torque is available as an option. Diesel is unquestionably a better alternative for improved fuel economy and hauling capability. Land Rover continues to offer an eight-speed automatic gearbox.
The previous Discovery model had an 8,200-pound towing capability. Land Rover, on the other hand, offered cleaner engine alternatives. This certainly indicates some form of electricity, most likely a hybrid type. The most recent sources mention a plug-in hybrid model with a 48-volt system, however, this is not yet confirmed. Anyway, Defender and Discovery will ride on a new platform, so getting a hybrid powertrain is the most likely outcome.
2023 Land Rover Discovery Release Date, Price
According to what we know, the new 2023 Land Rover Discovery will be somewhat more expensive. The new model will now cost $52,500, with the top-tier HSE Luxury trim level costing over $70,000. The Discovery SUV will be on sale in the second half of 2021, competing with models like the Acura MDX and Volvo XC90.
