Land Rover built its reputation on superior off-road capabilities and over the decades has added incredible refinement and luxury to its vehicles. The Discovery Sport is powered by a 2.0L engine turbocharged making 246-horsepower and 269 lb-feet of torque. The all-alloy engine features direct injection and variable valve timing and is mated to a 9-speed automatic transmission.
Full-time all-wheel drive is standard on the Discovery Sport and long-travel suspension lends itself to increased articulation in challenging situations. The all-wheel drive system continuously varies torque between the front and rear wheels for great handling in all conditions, and the electronic Haldex center coupling is far more responsive than a traditional mechanical coupling. Land Rover Terrain Response includes settings for General driving, Grass/Gravel/Snow, Mud and Ruts and Sand. Each mode precisely adjusts the Discovery Sport's 4-wheel drive and suspension settings, with near-instant terrain-directed updates to throttle response, gearbox, center coupling, braking and stability systems. Hill-wise, the Discovery Sport can handle gradients of up to 45 degrees.
The Discovery Sport is a capable on-road performer as well, thanks to an excellent suspension system that utilizes aluminum components to reduce weight. Aluminum is also used in the hood, front fenders, roof and tailgate.
Three trims are offered: S, SE, S R-Dynamic and SE R-Dynamic. Standard equipment across the lineup includes full LED headlamps, leather seats, heated 8-way power front seats, leather steering wheel, power liftgate, auto-dimming interior and exterior mirrors, automatic dual-zone climate control, BOSE sound system with HD and Satellite radio, 6-speakers, 10-inch touchscreen, voice activated navigation system, cruise control, wireless phone charger, proximity keyless entry with push button start, Bluetooth connectivity, 3 USB ports and 2 12V power outlets.
The SE trim features 20-inch wheels, delay-off headlights and auto high beams, projector headlamps with auto-leveling, 3 driver seat memory, configurable 12.3-inch digital\analog gauge cluster, and active blind spot monitoring.
The S and SE R-Dynamic packages add blacked out exterior appearance, dark aluminum interior finishing, black headliner, sport pedals, paddle shifters, and red or white stitches throughout.
Safety systems on the Discovery Sport include hill descent control to keep a constant speed on steep inclines, roll stability control, dynamic stability control and traction control. Also, standard are driver and passenger front airbags, knee airbags, side curtain airbags and thorax airbags. Safety features across the lineup include front and rear parking sensors, active lane departure system, rear camera, forward collision mitigation, driver attention alert, and traffic sign information system with speed limiter.
There are many stand-alone options and packages to personalize this SUV. These are the packages available: Third Row, Dynamic Handling, Driver Assist, Blind Sport Assist, Convenience, Cold Climate, Hot Climate, Premium Upgrade Interior, Family, Premium Rear Seat Convenience, Basic Rear Seat Convenience, Premium Interior Protection & Storage, Basic Interior Protection & Storage, Wheel Protection, and Exterior Protection.
