Paris Motor Show 2016: Land Rover unveils new Discovery

Land Rover has unveiled its new Discovery at the Paris Motor Show. Although it may look similar to the outgoing model, the new Discovery is bigger and more efficient. It goes on sale in the UK in spring. Prices start at £43,495.

The familiar-looking seven-seater SUV boasts something called 'remote seat folding technology', which means the interior can be configured via your smartphone. No, we don't know why, either. At least the new model will be better on fuel economy and emissions. Lightweight aluminium construction means it's 480kg lighter than the outgoing model with CO2 emissions starting at 171g/km.

As well as the existing 3.0-litre V6, power will come from a 240PS version of the 2.0-litre Ingenium four-cylinder diesel. New Discovery also boasts an improved towing capacity of 3500kg, as well as a semi-autonomous advanced tow assist system to take the stress out of reversing with a trailer.

Inside, up to 2406 litres of luggage space will be available and the SUV will be equipped with nine USB ports, four 12-volt charging stations and an in-car 3G wi-fi hotspot.
