Land Rover’s Discovery Vision Concept previews a family of not one but three new Discovery models to arrive over the next few years.

Revealed at this week’s New York Motor Show, the concept features some of the most advanced technology we’ve ever seen on a car, from gesture control to smart glass that displays information for all seven occupants. It’s wrapped in a striking new body which introduces design features that’ll appear on all three forthcoming Discovery models.

The current Disco is arguably the world's most capable all-rounder, but its chunky design was more of a hit in the design community than it was with punters. The stepped roof, clamshell bonnet, alpine lights and command driving position are all intact, but design boss Gerry McGovern and his team clearly couldn't resist importing some Range Rover cues. Jewel-like headlights use LEDs and lasers, and there are bespoke Pirellis wrapped around enormous 23in alloy wheels. The concept has rear-hinged ‘coach doors', opening onto a vast and vastly impressive interior. Gesture control has done away with conventional handles.

Inside, there are seven, endlessly configurable full-size seats, four of which have 10in hi-res screens set into them, and detachable luggage is integrated into the doors. A techy new water- and oil-repellent leather called Foglizzo H20w is used inside, and accessories include blankets and cushions trimmed in Harris tweed. In the concept, the third-row seats are differently trimmed to create a ‘personalised ambience'.

Love it, hope it keeps some of the styling features.

What do you think the third model will be?
