Buy a new Discovery now or wait for the new model

I don't usually buy new cars but was thinking of doing so now.

I want a vehicle that will make the caravan towing experience as pleasant as possible. 

I was thinking of a new Land Rover Discovery but am concerned that if I buy one now it will be superseded by a new model which the motoring press seem to think will be released in the next 6 to 12 months.

Does anyone have any inside knowledge as to when the new discovery will be available ?

My concern is that a new one would effect the value of the outgoing model and of course would be more 'modern' and fuel efficient etc.

Conversely the outgoing model is tried and tested and a new model may have teething problems.

The only thing I don't like about the present model (apart from the fuel efficiency) is that it doesn't have a powered tailgate and seems quite difficult to close without putting your hands on the bodywork , and getting your hands dirty and scratching. the
car.

I have looked at the new XC90 but discounted that and the new Q7 isn't in the showrooms yet

Oh the other thing I don't like is the cost of the Disco!!!
