ON-ROAD DYNAMICS Discovery has been designed to deliver a confident, comfortable and engaging driving experience to make the miles go by virtually unnoticed. With its wide-spaced double-wishbone design at the front and advanced multi-link layout at the rear, the suspension delivers more responsive handling without compromising Land Rover’s hallmark all-terrain capability. Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) monitors Discovery’s dynamic behaviour, and intervenes if the system determines that the vehicle is not responding according to the driver’s inputs.

The variable ratio system has been tuned by Land Rover engineers to provide ease of control, on or off-road, when driving in a straight line or when turning. Different gear ratios within the steering rack help to reduce steering sensitivity when driving straight, but compensate for less steering input when turning. Speed sensitive steering increases the weight and feel of the steering as your speed increases to give stability and a greater feel of confidence. It also assists you at lower speeds to aid manoeuvrability by lightening the feel of steering. This system is standard on all models.

The DSC system operates by reducing engine torque and/or applying the brakes on selected wheels to correct the vehicle’s cornering attitude and in addition can counteract understeer or oversteer conditions effectively. This system is standard on all models. Discovery’s sublime ride quality is heightened further by such features as Electronic Power Assisted Steering (EPAS), a variable ratio system and speed sensitive steering. Standard on all models, EPAS is integrated into driver and chassis systems, helping to reduce the engine load to aid efficiency and deliver a confident and intuitive drive.
