NEW 2003 DISCOVERY ON SALE

The new Land Rover Discovery goes on sale in UK Land Rover dealerships from 1 June, featuring a new look, revised interiors and a number of significant technical enhancements designed to improve both its on- and off-road ability.

There are more than 700 changes to the latest Discovery. Improvements include a new Land Rover 'family face' inspired by the latest Range Rover, new rear tail lights, new front bumper and grille, and new interior trim colours. Brakes and suspension have both been improved, and a centre differential lock is now available to improve the Discovery's off-road ability. Refinement and build quality have also been enhanced.

Commenting on the new Discovery, the managing director of Land Rover UK, Mike Wright, said: "The Discovery is already the best-selling large 4x4 in the UK. It

has dominated that market since the original model was launched and we're confident that, with the latest round of improvements, customers will continue to be attracted to this practical and versatile vehicle."

Prices for the new Discovery are unchanged from the previous model, and begin at £21,995 for the TD5 E and rise to £34,490 for the V8 ES.

Specification enhancements include the addition of rear Park Distance Control as standard for ES models but it is also available as a £250 option on GS and XS versions.

The pricing of the S model remains at £24,495 but now includes new style alloy wheels, body coloured bumpers, front fog lights and headlamp power wash.
