The all-new 2017 Land Rover Discovery has been unveiled in Paris, bringing with it new aluminium-intensive architecture, new engines, and a raft of new technology.

With an emphasis on modern families, the Discovery retains its stadium-style three-row seating with room for seven adults. The Discovery design DNA has been drastically rethought, though details like the stepped roof and asymmetrical tailgate (now a one-piece unit) remain.

Australian buyers will be able to purchase the new Discovery from July 2017, with the range opening from $81,590 - with seven seats standard.

The use of an aluminium monocoque chassis beneath the Discovery has resulted in the new model being some 480kg lighter than the outgoing version, allowing a the introduction of a four-cylinder engine for the first time since the first generation car.
