The ‘2023.5’ Discovery range adds some features – and takes away others – for a higher price tag. It’s available to order now.
- 2023 Land Rover Discovery pricing and specifications
- Sliding front sunroof now standard, new leather trim option available
- Safe exit warning, Activity Key deleted across range
- Priced from $109,350 plus on-road costs, up $2745 to $3980
Pricing and specifications for the tweaked ‘MY23.5’ 2023 Land Rover Discovery large SUV range have been confirmed, with orders open now.
Branded ‘Model Year 2023.5’ (MY23.5), prices across the revised Discovery range have risen by between $2745 and $3980 – compounding two earlier rounds of price hikes to Land Rover’s large SUV contender for MY23, in late 2021 and early 2022.
Partially offsetting the price rises is sliding (opening) functionality for the front sunroof across the range – previously a $820 option on diesel models (or standard on petrols). The rear sunroof remains fixed.
The Caraway tan leather interior – $1950 extra on the R-Dynamic S and SE, or a no-cost option on the HSE – can now be had with a colour-matched dashboard and door cards, instead of the Ebony black finish previously offered.
Contrasting the newly-upgraded front sunroof is the removal of the wearable Activity Key, and the Clear Exit Monitor system, which notifies occupants if they’re about to open their door into traffic – both of which were previously standard on all models.
Like the MY23.5 Defender range, these features are no longer available, even as options. Drive has contacted Jaguar Land Rover Australia to confirm the reasoning behind the move – though it’s possible the items have been axed to minimise the use of semiconductor chips in the face of a global shortage.
The prices of various options have also increased; the front console fridge is up from $850 to $1240, Cabin Air Purification Plus is up from $470 to $627, and the Hot Climate Pack is down from $3155 to $3610.
However, the Cold Climate Pack has dropped from $2550 to $1130-$1550 (depending on model grade), while the inclusion of the sliding front sunroof as standard has cut the Family Pack from as much as $6531, to $2818 across the range.
No changes have been made to the structure of the range, which consists of five diesel and three petrol variants – six of which are equipped with an R-Dynamic exterior and interior styling pack.
P360 petrol models use a 3.0-litre turbocharged inline six-cylinder engine with 48-volt mild-hybrid assistance, developing 265kW and 500Nm. It’s capable of a 6.5-second 0-100km/h time, and claimed fuel use of 9.2 litres per 100km in combined driving.
Meanwhile, D300 diesels feature a 3.0-litre twin-turbo inline-six with similar 48-volt technology, offering 221kW/650Nm outputs good for a 6.8-second 0-100km/h time, and a 7.5L/100km combined fuel consumption claim.
All engines use eight-speed automatic transmissions and all-wheel drive, available with a low range setting for an additional $940 across the range.
