In July 2011 Land Rover presented the Discovery 4 for the 2012 model year.

The top-of-the-range engine has seen a power increase to 256 hp, up from 245 hp, while the 211 hp engine had its Co2 emissions reduced from 244 g/Km to 224 g/Km. The TDV6 engine has a lower fuel consumption, torque was raised to 520 Nm in the standard engine and 600 Nm with the higher powered STDV6. The 5.0l V8 engine is both EU5 and US ULEV2 compliant.

In 2012, the Discovery 4 features a new 8 speed gearbox, contributing to better economy and performance. It is available in EU5 compliant markets and uses the same style of rotary gear selector and paddles as the new Jaguar XJ. Special characteristic of the 8 speed gearbox is its ability to skip up to 6 gear ratios in one go.

Land Rover focused on performance and economy, implementing green features, called e_TERRAIN technologies. Those include the Diesel Particulate Filter, newly optimised engine calibration, a reduced slip torque converter, clutched air conditioning pump and improved aerodynamics.

Land Rover has imbued the Discovery with more stopping power to compliment the added pace. The brakes have been upgraded to 360 mm ventilated units at the front and 350 mm ventilated at the back, furthermore Land Rover has linked this to their under steer control system. Gradient Acceleration Control makes a debut, providing safety cover when hill descent is not engaged and works in both forwards and reverse. The new brakes are encased in new 19” wheels that come standard with the HSE or optional new 20” wheels.

In 2012 there are 3 more option packs available. The first is the Technology Pack which offers Premium Navigation, front and rear cameras and Land Rovers new ‘say what you see’ voice control system. Second, the HSE lux pack includes xenon adaptive headlights, Logic 7 Harmon Kardon, premium leather pack, full length satin black roof rails, sun roof and an electric steering column. Third, the Vision assist pack which offers automatic xenon headlights, surround view cameras and tow and hitch assist.
