The 2019 Land Rover Discovery SVX comes with a recalibrated 8-speed sport automatic transmission and has traded the rotary shift dial found in standard Discovery vehicles for a new Pistol Shifter design.
The new Discovery SVX will also give drivers the power to modify the powertrain dynamics to adapt to certain driving situations and basically breeze through the most challenging of terrains.
This is courtesy of the new Terrain Response System 2 technology along with the All-Terrain Progress Control, Adaptive Dynamics as well as the active center and electronic rear locking differentials.
For better off-road experience, the 2019 Land Rover Discovery SVX underwent some necessary adjustments. For starters, the forged aluminum wheels utilize 275/55/20 Goodyear Wrangler all-terrain tires.
