Discovery Sport has been designed without compromise. Capable and adaptable it can get straight to work across a huge variety of vastly differing conditions and roles. Discovery Sport is ready for anything.
Discovery Sport features a strong, lightweight body structure which has been developed using advanced, weight-saving materials. The structure is based on a steel monocoque foundation which is derived from Land Rover’s compact SUV platform.
Discovery Sport has a chassis which has been specially developed by Land Rover engineers to deliver agile and refined on-road dynamics along with the brand’s legendary all-terrain capability. Lightweight aluminum chassis components are used extensively to improve suspension performance by increasing stiffness and reducing unsprung weight, while also reducing total vehicle weight. The chassis features a number of innovations, such as Electric Power Assisted Steering (EPAS), which help the vehicle achieve its unique dynamic character.
Discovery Sport has a fully independent suspension system with an advanced multi-link rear suspension design. This delivers enhanced dynamics and refinement together with a compact layout to provide increased interior space. The system has been specifically developed to enhance the Discovery Sport with unmatched capabilities. It offers reactive and agile handling, with superior ride quality and sophistication. Excellent wheel travel and articulation helps the vehicle achieve legendary Land Rover off-road performance.
The lightweight, compact 9-speed Automatic Transmission is specifically designed for transverse applications. It is one of the most efficient and technically advanced ever used in a production Land Rover vehicle.
Discovery Sport offers two types of engines:
Si4 237HP
Ingenium 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine with 237hp. Gas engine produces 251 lb-ft of torque and delivers outstanding fuel economy and driveability. For excellent acceleration and effortless overtaking,
maximum torque is available at 1,250rpm. The intelligent continuous variable valve lift (CVVL) system varies the extent to which the supply valves open, reducing engine pumping losses. This allows the engine to ‘breathe’ with maximum efficiency, optimizing power and torque.
Si4 286HP
Ingenium 2.0-liter 4-cylinder turbocharged gas engine with 286HP. It provides a maximum torque of 295 lb-ft at 1,500 rpm. The improved turbocharger has a high-flow compressor, the wheel delivers 26% more air, allowing a maximum power of 286HP. The twin-turbocharger has ceramic ball bearings which reduce friction and improve temporary response.
