The 2017 Discovery has dropped around 1,000 pounds thanks to a new aluminum-intensive architecture.

The new Discovery will do battle with the Audi Q7, BMW X5 and Mercedes-Benz GLE, among others.

The aggressive new front end looks an awful lot like some other newer Land Rover models, including the Discovery Sport and Range Rover Sport.

The Discovery's rear end is its most distinctive aspect thanks to its asymmetrical license-plate pocket and horizontal taillamps.

If you don't like this look, you can also pay extra for a more aggressive (if somewhat fussier) Dynamic Design Pack.
