Here at Land Rover Birmingham we are well aware that the LR4 is the best-selling model offered by our all-terrain brand. Many people get caught up in the Range Rover luxury side of things and tend to forget the more humble side of the new Land Rover lineup. We hope that will soon change since the newest incarnation of the LR4 was just debuted at the Frankfurt Motor Show.
This rugged piece of machinery boasts three rows of seating and a very capable drivetrain which suggests that it is truly ready to handle any challenge put before it. While the official specs for the North American version have yet to be released, the European's 2014 LR4 will be powered by a 3.0-liter supercharged V6 engine. It will also feature a ZF eight-speed automatic transmission. Together, this powertrain will be able to deliver up to 335 horsepower and 332 lb.-ft. of torque.
The LR4 is known as the Land Rover Discovery across the pond, and we suspect that European drivers will flock to their local dealerships to get their hands on these new off-roaders as soon as they come to market.
John Edwards, Land Rover's global brand director, spoke about the 2014 LR4, saying, "The hugely popular Discovery continues to move from strength to strength and the direction of the new 3.0 S/C petrol engine to the 2014 range underpins our commitment to delivering power with sustainability. As one of the world's most stylish, capable and versatile SUVs, the Disovery is the perfect vehicle for people who enjoy living an active lifestyle to the full."1
