Replacing the Freelander, the new car retains a compact footprint but offers a 7-seat option and a significant upgrade in style and finish over the predecessor car.
Powertrains at launch are based on the familiar 2.2 diesel sourced from Ford, but a new series of Land Rover's own new Ingenium engines will be added to the options later this year. In addition to a 6-speed manual, a 9-speed automatic is available. There are four specification grades on offer.
The importers expect to sell 350 units of the new Discovery Sport this year, out of a total of 2,000 units across the range of Discovery, Range Rover, and Defender models.
