The future of the Land Rover Discovery family — the Discovery Vision concept — was unveiled before attendees at the 2014 New York Auto Show Wednesday.

The concept SUV’s design language will be echoed throughout the entire family that will begin entering showrooms in the coming years, though that’s only the beginning for the Discovery’s silver future.

Among the many driving enhancements on-board the concept include Remote Drive Control — allowing the driver to maneuver their Defender out of the bog without needing to be behind the wheel — Transparent Bonnet display for avoiding obstacles obscured by the height of the bonnet, Laser Terrain Scanning, and Smart Glass augmented reality system.

And they laughed at the Jaguar Mondeo. But seriously, they could have at least painted the windshield pillars something other than black or put some fake metal cladding over them to try to hide the Explorer lurking within.

  I love how Volvo underpins at least three other brand's models other than its own.

  @28-Cars-Later And eventually they won't use the D-platform (I think Volvo called it P) while is soldiers on elsewhere.

This might just be me, but I think it looks really cheap and ugly when a car's tires protrude beyond the edge of the wheel well. This concept car totally rubs me the wrong way.

  I agree, they should fill to the edge of the well, unless there is a fender skirt present.

Mike Beranek Shouldn't be an issue, a typical 3BR house in Toronto costs like 3 million Chuckiebucks.

Cprescott I have to laugh at speed limits. Apparently 95% of the people don't think it applies to them. Here in the states, there should be a fee paid at the time of registration renewal that will allow you to run 10 mph over the limit without a ticket (but you could be pulled over and have your belt checked, etc) Add $150 to the cost of registration and those who feel like they want to go commando, have the cost of speeding 10 over the limit to be no less than $500.
