Land Rover is paying special attention to the Discovery model on its 25th anniversary.

The single car model will soon become a family of cars serving different segments of the market.

More importantly, the design will see radical changes ushered in by the Discovery Vision Concept SUV revealed recently in New York.

The company said the first new Discovery would be in the market in 2015. One of the new technologies is the ability to maneuver the car at low speed while outside the car by use of a mobile phone or a similar control device.

The concept car previews dynamic new design language and an array of innovative versatility and capability features, while also showcasing pioneering technologies from Jaguar Land Rover’s advanced research division.

The Discovery Vision Concept alludes to its unique lineage with design elements such as the stepped roof.

More attention has been given to creating relevant versatility combined with attractive and smooth design.

This is a radical and sharply focused approach to embodying Land Rover’s vision of the ultimate SUV. The advanced interior is both spacious and versatile with a whole array of innovative features; this multi-lifestyle versatility is epitomized by highly reconfigurable seating. By folding the seats flat or sliding them forward or back, via the touchscreen menu, the vehicle can be converted from its standard seven-seat layout to a six-seat, five-seat or even a four-seat ‘limousine’ mode. Detachable, carry-away stroller-style luggage is seamlessly integrated into the vehicle doors, while accessories cleverly integrated into the seatbacks.

Discovery’s tailgate incorporates a powered, single-piece design; in conjunction with a deployable rear sill step and a folding bench seat in the loading area, it creates a flexible event platform with social seating for active lifestyles.

On its own, the sill step can also be fitted with a bike rack.

The theme of versatility continues with the materials used in the Discovery Vision Concept interior.

The cabin is finished in two innovative types of washable and water- and oil-repellent premium leather that can be cleaned in seconds.

One of the new innovations is the Remote Control Drive which enables the driver to maneuver the car at very low speed while not actually seated inside it.

Remote Control Drive has various useful applications both on- and off-road, from coupling a trailer, to external spotting during extreme off-roading.
