This model lacked the Terrain Response system. This model was unique in the range by having only five seats and only being available with the 2.7 litre diesel engine. In the UK and European markets, a coil-spring independent suspension system was offered on the base model. If the chassis of the vehicle contacts the ground when the suspension was at its 'off road' height, the system senses the reduction in load on the air springs and raises the vehicle an extra inch. When needed, the suspension mimics the action of a beam axle (as one wheel drops, the other rises). Land Rover developed 'cross-linked' air suspension. The vehicle can be raised to provide ground clearance when off-road, but lowered at high speeds to improve handling. Like the Range Rover 元22, this is an air suspension system, enabling ride-height adjustment by simply pumping up or deflating the air bags. The LR3 features full independent suspension (FIS). Land Rover claims IBF combines the virtues of monocoque and ladder-frame – though it makes for a heavy vehicle, compromising performance and agility. The engine bay and passenger compartment are built as a monocoque, then mated to a basic ladder-frame chassisfor the gearbox and suspension. Land Rover developed a body construction method for the Discovery 3, marketed as Integrated Body Frame (IBF). The LR3 name was chosen for North American markets due to negative quality associations with the Discovery name and (according to Land Rover) a preference in the American market for alpha-numeric model designations – the second generationFreelander was also re-designated for the North American market as the LR2. It retained the key features of the Discovery, such as the stepped roofline and steeply-raked windscreen. On 2 April 2004, Land Rover introduced the Discovery 3, marketed as the LR3 in North America. ![]() The current Discovery 4 is marketed in North America as the LR4. There have been four generations of the vehicle, the first of which was introduced in 1989. The Land Rover Discovery is a mid-size luxury SUV, from the British car maker Land Rover.
