The Discovery hasn't been tested by either of the leading safety agencies here in the U.S., but Land Rover offers a full suite of driver-assistance features.

#2021 LAND ROVER DISCOVERY SAFETY RATING DRIVER#
When the system does detect something worth noting, the driver is warned of speed limits or a possible diversion ahead. This helps the driver to focus on driving rather than stay on the lookout for traffic signs. Traffic Sign Recognition: The 2021 Land Rover Discovery comes with a range of cameras and sensors that utilize "computer vision" to detect road signs and traffic signs and understand their implications.It will detect and warn the driver of any cross traffic while backing the car. Rear Traffic Monitor: The Rear Traffic Monitor employs a set of sensors installed at the back of the Discovery in order to check for "Cross-Traffic".This is an advanced form of cruise control where even less amount of driver input is required to keep the car in control. Adaptive Cruise Control: This system not only lets you cruise at a set speed on the highway but also adjusts the speed and position of the car with respect to other vehicles in front of you.For example, if you get sleepy or distracted on the interstate, the 2021 Land Rover Discovery will ring a sharp alarm to get you back into the required state of alertness. Driver Condition Monitor: This system deploys an array of sensors to detect what kind of conditions the driver is subjected to, and warns the occupants in the form of audio and visual aids.The system slams the brakes and makes sure the car gets under control in order to prevent a collision. When you're going fast, and there's something on the road that needs to be avoided, the Land Rover's High-Speed Emergency Braking system kicks in even before the driver's reflexes come into play. High-Speed Emergency Braking: During high-speed conditions, the driver often gets little to no time in taking corrective actions.


Some of these have been described in detail below: And we’d recommend that you too take a lead in India and keep in mind how safe the prospective car is for the passengers and pedestrians when you head out to purchase your next car.In addition, the 2021 Land Rover Discovery comes fitted with countless passive safety aids which help in cushioning impacts and keeping passengers safe. Furthermore, many other driver-assistance features are offered too. Results like these confirm the fact that while European cars are expensive, they tend to deliver on all fronts, be it comfort, luxury, performance or safety. However, it lunges ahead of the Q5 in scores for safety assist tech and pedestrian safety. The Discovery falls behind in categories of adult and child occupant safety. The result is pretty evident in the scores received in sub-categories. The only difference is that the German SUV features an active bonnet, which helps reduce injury to pedestrians, and doesn’t have Lane Assist System, which the English offering features. The standard safety equipment for the Discovery is the same as in the Audi Q5. Like the Audi Q5, the new model of the Land Rover Discovery scored a five-star safety rating. Euro NCAP reported that Audi’s PreSense City tech, which comes standard with the Q5 and helps in autonomous emergency braking, performed well to further minimize the impact. Other safety tech included ISOFIX anchorages, airbag cut-off switch for front passenger, and seat-belt reminder for all occupants. For the rear-seat child occupants, the model had side-head airbags, seat-belt pretensioner and loadlimiters. The standard safety equipment for the two adult occupants at the front included front, side-head, side-chest and side-pelvis airbags, and seat-belt pretensioner and loadlimiters. The new Audi Q5 has received a perfect five-star score in the Euro NCAP safety tests. This time around, it is the Euro NCAP facility that has put new models of the Audi Q5 and the Land Rover Discovery through crash tests. We recently reported how the Chevrolet Enjoy and the Ford Figo Aspire performed in crash tests conducted by the Global NCAP. Till then, we will have to make do with the crash test results that other laboratories share for cars that are also on sale in India. For the uninitiated, that facility will be christened the Bharat New Car Assessment Programme (Bharat NCAP). It will be a while before India gets its own facility to test cars for safety. The testing ground was the controlled premises of Euro NCAP
