Gearbox Type: 8-Speed Automatic
All Discovery models in India come standard with a smooth-shifting 8-speed automatic transmission. This is paired with a twin-speed transfer box (high/low range), which is a key differentiator from smaller luxury SUVs, providing the "low-range crawl" needed for serious off-roading.
Drive Type: Intelligent All-Wheel Drive (AWD)
The Discovery features an Intelligent AWD system that optimizes torque distribution between the front and rear axles. Combined with Terrain Response 2, the vehicle can automatically sense the surface—be it mud, sand, or rocks—and adjust the engine and transmission mapping accordingly.
