2014 New York: Land Rover Discovery Vision Concept

Story and photos by John LeBlanc As part of a thorough renewal that’s already seen recent introductions of its Range Rover subbrand models, Tata Motors’ Land Rover brand is now turning to its Discovery range (sold in Canada as the compact LR2 and midszie LR4) with the world premiere of the Land Rover Discovery Vision Concept, a preview of what the next-generation LR4 (also sold, as the Discovery in other markets) or LR2 could look like. Land Rover is marketing the new seven-passenger Discovery Vision Concept as "a vision into the future of Land Rover's new family of leisure vehicles." And based on the number of high-tech gadgets onboard, that description is accurate. Keep in mind, though, that many of the Discovery Vision Concept conceptual ideas — like including Gesture Control, Remote Control Drive, laser headlights, Smart Glass, Laser Terrain Scanning and Transparent Bonnet —aren’t anywhere near production-ready.
