Make light work of difficult loads with Discovery 3´s two-piece, asymmetric tailgate design. Both upper and lower tailgates are made from resilient lightweight aluminium. In fact, the lower tailgate is so strong that, when the vehicle is parked, it can support the weight of two adults and be used as a viewing platform.

Alternatively, the lower section can be used as a seat with the upper section providing a canopy. When fully open, the tailgate gives impressive access to the rear of the vehicle and comes into its own when loading large or heavy objects. The asymmetric portion of the lower tailgate offers a reduced reach-in distance when open and a lower load height when closed.

For a better view ahead on bends and a more effortless night-time drive, Discovery 3´s optional Adaptive Front Lighting varies the headlamp light cast ensuring the beams follow the curve of the road.

Every design feature on Discovery 3 is there for a reason. For instance, we´ve positioned its wing-mounted air-induction vent for optimum engine breathing whilst also being in the best possible position to maximise wading depth. But because just one vent is needed, we´ve added a vent on one side only.

A set of gleaming alloy wheels. Nothing highlights the character of a vehicle quite as effectively. An individual design is featured for each Discovery 3 model derivative, with an optional second style choice also available for those who like to add a touch of personalisation.

Choose from finishes featuring shimmering chrome particles, deep rich metallics, or bold solid colours. To help your exterior colour choice co-ordinate with Discovery 3´s interior trims, we recommend a number of combinations.
