Land Rover Tests Discovery Successor Prototype: Blending Defender Capability and Practicality
A prototype of a potential successor to the Land Rover Discovery has been spotted near the company's Gaydon development center. The vehicle, still camouflaged, hints at a new 4x4 model that could balance the Defender's capabilities with practicality.
The prototype features a slightly raked roof and a long hood, suggesting a hybridized four-cylinder or turbocharged inline-six engine. Its front is mostly flat with a sharp lip on the hood and prominent indents on the front fenders. The rear end mirrors the Defender, with a high, tight wall behind the rear tires for improved departure angle and reduced length.
Despite the ongoing cyberattack that has disrupted business for a month, Land Rover continues to test new vehicles. The prototype was seen alongside a current Discovery, indicating a similar size. Cybersecurity experts have attributed the delay in resolution to the complex nature of modern vehicle systems and the need for thorough investigation.
The new Land Rover prototype, potentially the Discovery's successor, promises a blend of Defender capability and practicality. Despite the ongoing cyberattack, Land Rover's testing continues, with the prototype's reveal expected after further camouflage removal.
