Land Rover Discovery is a Mid-size Luxury SUV manufactured by British automaker Land Rover as a sub-brand of Jaguar. The automobile was first produced in 1989 and is still being produced today. Throughout its three generations of history, Discovery has been built on a variety of platforms, and the newest version, the L462, is built on the JLR D7u platform. Designed by Gerry McGovern, it continues to represent the Land Rover brand while it is being assembled at production facilities in the UK and Slovakia. When we look at the design, although it does not look very different from the front, the rear is quite different from the new generation Land Rover models. Although it has received a lot of public criticism, the Land Rover design team has continued to use this layout, maintaining one of the Discovery's distinctive features for years.
