Land Rover India is all set to launch its new Discovery SUV tomorrow. Based on information leaked online, prices for the Discovery are likely to start at Rs 68 lakh for the base, petrol-powered S trim, and go up to Rs 89 lakh for the top-spec HSE diesel variant.

The new Discovery will be sold in India with as many as three trim levels for each engine.

The India-bound Land Rover Discovery gets the 3.0-litre, V6 diesel engine that makes 258hp and 600Nm of peak torque and the 3.0-litre, V6 petrol mill that churns out 340hp and 450Nm of torque. Both engines power all four wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission.

The seven-seater gets a host of equipment, including the InControl infotainment system with a 10-inch display paired to a 6-speaker audio system, two sunroofs, parallel-park assist, a heads-up display, a 360-degree camera and the optional Terrain Response 2 system. The higher-spec HSE trim is expected with InControl TouchPro infotainment system, heated seats, up to nine USB ports, four 12V charging points, an in-car 3G Wi-Fi hotspot and a 17-speaker Meridian Audio system.

The Land Rover Discovery will rival the likes of the Mercedes-Benz GLE, the BMW X5 and Audi’s Q7.
