Thread: Discovery 4 MY13 Released 5/9/12

What model did you go BenD4?

I went a HSE with:

Metallic Paint
Electric steering column
Rear electronic diff
Keyless entry
Front centre console cooler box
Premium Windsor leather
Extended leather pack (Windsor)
Veneer grand lacquer trim
Audio - Premium ICE
Vision assist
Black design pack with 20" alloys
LED Running Lights

Should be nice !

The 8spd would be great on the road. You could gear it very low so it can take off at the traffic lights like a scalded cat and embarrass other performance cars (yes I know I'm a hook but can't help it). It would bring fuel economy benifit as well as more often it would be in he right gear for the load point.

I'd love to see the 4.4tdv8 in the next disco 5. I guess I won't be holding my breath.

Got a call from the dealer yesterday after her received an email from Land Rover. Build is scheduled to begin 9th November with expected delivery end of January.

Spec. of the build

• 2012 Build MY13 Discovery 4 HSE
• Ebony Premium Leather
• Orkney Grey
• Vision Assist (auto high beam, surround camera, xenon adaptive headlights)
• Roof Rails, full length with cross bars
• Privacy Glass
• Tyre Pressure Monitor
• Keyless Entry
• Cooler Box
• Electric Steering Wheel Adjust
• Premium Carpet Mats (will get a set of rubber ones for weekends)
• Premium Ice Sound System
• Active Rear Diff

I was told last week that all Dealers were 3 weeks away from getting all pricing and specs.
So for the people that have ordered, are you yet to spec your Discovery?
Was also told that ordering needed to be in by the 22nd of October to secure first shipment due in late January.

Cheers Scott

I am expecting the dealer to call trying to sell me some more bit and pieces when all the documentation is available but I specked mine back in June and place the order stipulating it to be a MY13 build. Reason I went the MY13 build over the 12 was the car had to be build due to my options and it was only a month or two wait to get the MY13 opposed to the MY12.

Turns out the wait was three months but I have bought myself a toy to keep myself occupied until the D4 gets here.

Pretty fugly though. You should be able to get rid of it easily enough when the D4 gets here though.

What dealer BenD4?

cheers

Scott.

Surely there isn't that much of an advantage of 8 speeds over 6?
Never felt the need for more ratios in mine.
2 more gears more complex gearbox and potentially more to go wrong!
