You can have an 8 speed on a 2012MY> ...I had it on my 2013MY and it is much better than the 6 speed. I also had a 2015MY which also had 8-speed but the drive, tech, fit and finish were a lot tighter overall.

Apologies if I’ve missed it, but I don’t think your original question re gears has been answered has it?

Stick = 6-speed
Rotary selector = 8-speed

Just seen that I’m too late! Rolling Eyes

In the UK the 8 speed was standard MY 2012 so possibly the car you are looking at was old stock registered in 2012

United Kingdom 

the MY12 will have the same 8 speed box as the MY14

the key noticeable differences between the 2 will be the headlights and rear lights, the addition of stop/start (the HDC switch on the centre console is now split into 2 halves for HDC/ECO0 and the option to have hi/lo range or just hi range (again switch on the centre console)

I`m addicted to Discovery now, there is no way I will be driving anything else for a while at least. The more I drive it, the more I fall in love with it.

I think the headlights became a bit pathetic from MY2014 onwards. The bi Xenon headlights in 2012 D4 are brill.
 D1 300Tdi - gone
D2 Td5 ES (Alive remapped...mmm) - sadly gone
D4 2012 SDV6 XS - Stolen
D4 2014 SDV6 HSE - Shiny
