Land Rover Special Vehicle Operations Announces 2019 Discovery SVX - A 7-Seater Mountain Climbing SUV
Land Rover will introduce an even more capable hill climber next year with the new Discovery SVX edition.
Developed by the Jaguar Land Rover Group’s Special Vehicle Operations (SVO) division, the Discovery SVX joins other SVO specials like the Range Rover Sport SVR.
The new model will provide the ability to explore high terrain. Thanks to its higher ride, compared to the standard Discovery, the SVX will allow you to drive approach inclines and declines with more confidence (thanks to a new 4-air suspension system)
Showcasing in the SVX is a thumping 5.0-litre supercharged V8 pumping out 386kW of power, making it the only V8-powered version of the fifth-generation Discovery range.
The SVX features unique front and rear bumper treatments with protective skid plates, along with exposed ‘Rush Orange’ metal. There’s also an anti-glare bonnet finish and a rear-mounted winch system.
Huge 20-inch forged alloy wheels, which feature higher sidewalls to reduce contact pressure and improve performance on softer surfaces, also provide improved grip when driving through mud.
Tectonic Grey is the name of the matte exterior paint finish, contrasted with a Narvik Black Dynamic front grille, and silver roof rails. Two light pods mounted on the roof help to improve visibility in low-visibility situations.
The ultimate Discovery will reach Australia from the third quarter of 2018; pricing will be announced later this year.
