The all-new Discovery Sport for any terrain

-

The new Range Rover Discovery Sport combines 5+2 seating configurab­ility in a more compact footprint than traditiona­l five-seat SUVs. It is equipped with a suite of Land Rover innovation­s, including the next generation multi-link rear axle, advanced pedestrian airbag technology, an all-new touchscree­n infotainme­nt system and state-of-the-art high-strength steel and lightweigh­t aluminium bodyshell for outstandin­g performanc­e, safety and efficiency.

Discovery Sport has been designed to be as environmen­tally sustainabl­e as it is affordable to run: CO2 emissions as low as 119g/km are comparable to smaller and less versatile family hatchbacks, and buyers can opt for a range of powerful and efficient four-cylinder petrol or diesel engines, four- wheel drive, and advanced nine-speed automatic transmissi­on.

The Discovery Sport has a streamline­d design complement­ed by classleadi­ng usability. All-round visibility is excellent. Simple, clean surfaces and high-quality materials feature throughout.

The Discovery Sport’s body geometry has been optimized for even the harshest terrain, with excellent ground clearance, approach, departure and breakover angles, and an ability to wade through water to a class-leading depth of 600mm.

Land Rover’s Terrain Response system features on all four-wheel-drive derivative­s, allowing drivers to tailor Discovery Sport’s responses to the prevailing conditions. Up to five settings are available: General; Grass/Gravel/ Snow; Mud and Ruts; and Sand. Dynamic mode is optionally available and heightens on- road performanc­e and driver feedback.

The new Discovery Sport features cutting- edge technology such as an advanced new infotainme­nt system with 8- inch touchscree­n to a pedestrian airbag that minimizes the consequenc­es of a collision. Other available driver- assistance technologi­es include Autonomous Emergency Braking ( AEB), Electric Power- Assisted Steering ( EPAS), Park Assist, Automatic High- Beam Assist, Lane Departure Warning, Traffic Sign Recognitio­n, Trailer Stability Assist, Tow Assist & Tow Hitch Assist, Blind- Spot Monitor & Closing Vehicle Sensing, Reverse Traffic Detection, HD Surround Camera System, HDD satellite- navigation system, automatic headlamps, rain- sensitive wipers and parking sensors.
