These improvements can be combined with Discovery?s well-proven dynamic control systems of Active Cornering Enhancement (ACE) and Self Leveling Suspension (SLS). The ACE system minimizes roll through bends while the air-sprung SLS system retains a level stance under all load combinations. This combination, allied with wide track axles and revised suspension set-up gives the Discovery handling and passenger comfort unrivalled in its class. Four-channel ABS braking with Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) is fitted as standard.
In launching the new 2003 Discovery, Bob Dover, Land Rover managing director said, ?The changes made to the 2003 Discovery improve key aspects of the vehicle from its distinctive styling to its on- and off-road performance. The front end styling treatment provides an easily identified family resemblance to the new Range Rover while the new interior treatments complement its spacious packaging. With the chassis and powertrain improvements Land Rover has built on the Discovery?s well-known strengths in on-road handling and off-road capability to re-assert the model?s class-leading position in the 4x4 marketplace.?
Land Rover vehicles are offered through 142 Land Rover retailers in the U.S., including 102 exclusive Land Rover Centers, which look more like hunting lodges or ski chalets than traditional dealerships. Twelve of those retailers are located in the metropolitan New York, New Jersey and Connecticut area. Land Rover?s highly regarded retailers continue to score near the top of the industry in areas such as satisfaction with the sales and service process.
