TRANSMISSION AND ENGINES 8-SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

The transmission is tuned to select torque converter lock-up as early as possible to reduce slip and energy loss. Transmission Idle Control disengages 70 percent of the drive when the vehicle is stationary and the engine is idling in Drive, significantly reducing fuel consumption in urban conditions. In cold conditions, the transmission selects a lower gear to promote fast warm up and get the engine up to its efficient operating temperature as soon as possible.

The petrol and diesel engines in All-New Discovery are paired with the advanced electronically controlled 8-speed Automatic Transmission, which has been tuned by Land Rover engineers to combine silky- smooth shifting with exceptionally rapid response. With eight closely spaced ratios, gear changes are almost imperceptible, with each shift completed in just 200 milliseconds. Controls include steering wheel-mounted paddle shift as standard, enabling the driver to take control of gear shifting manually. The optimised lightweight 8-speed Automatic Transmission is the perfect partner to the torque-rich petrol and diesel engines, and contributes to their notable fuel efficiency.
