00:00 At the 2004 New York International Auto Show, Land Rover unveiled the replacement model
00:21 for the iconic Discovery II.
00:24 It is my pleasure and my privilege to introduce the all new Land Rover LR3.
00:40 Named LR3 for the North American market, this all new sport unit builds on the success of
00:45 the BMW engineered Range Rover by borrowing heavily from the flagship styling and all
00:50 terrain ability.
00:52 More sophisticated, more refined and more luxurious than the Disco II, the LR3 is also
00:58 more capable.
01:04 Gone are the days of underpowered V8s, thanks to a Jaguar sourced 4.4 liter engine producing
01:09 300 horsepower, packaged with a six speed automatic transmission.
01:14 Like the engine, the fully independent electronic air suspension is designed to offer solid
01:19 road performance and class leading off road ability.
01:26 Trail seekers will appreciate the new terrain response feature, which allows the driver
01:30 to dial in the appropriate terrain setting from five choices, calibrating electronic
01:35 controls and traction systems for optimum performance.
01:39 The LR3 can carry seven passengers to wilderness adventures with three rows of adult size seats.
01:44 To maximize cargo flexibility, the second two rows fold flat and the rear hatch features
01:49 a split tailgate like the Range Rover.
01:56 True to its heritage, the LR3 features a stepped roof to aid headroom and features abundant
02:01 glass with a sunroof and two moon roofs.
02:05 All riders benefit from interior advancements, including luxurious trims, effective climate
02:10 control system, DVD based navigation system, and comfortable seating.
02:15 The LR3 will advance the Land Rover product line and brand cachet when it goes on sale
02:19 in late 2004.
