Discovery Sport FAQs

What is the Discovery Sport?

The Discovery Sport is a compact luxury SUV that seats five as standard, with an optional third row that increases capacity to seven. It is powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission and standard all-wheel drive. The current Discovery Sport is offered exclusively in the Landmark Edition, a trim that pays tribute to more than 35 years of Discovery heritage.

What's the difference between the Discovery Sport and Discovery?

The Discovery Sport and Discovery are both part of the Discovery lineup, but they differ in size and capability. The Discovery is a larger midsize SUV with standard three-row seating for seven, more cargo volume, and a higher towing capacity, along with an available six-cylinder engine. The Discovery Sport is the more compact of the two, with five seats standard and an optional third row, making it easier to maneuver and park while still offering Terrain Response off-road technology.

What's the difference between the Discovery Sport and Range Rover Sport?

The Discovery Sport and Range Rover Sport belong to different brand families and are built around different priorities. The Range Rover Sport is a larger, more powerful midsize SUV with a turbocharged six-cylinder engine, seating for five, and a higher towing capacity, with an emphasis on on-road performance and premium materials. The Discovery Sport is a more compact SUV with a four-cylinder engine, standard seating for five with an optional third row for seven, and a more accessible entry point.

What's the difference between the Discovery Sport and Range Rover Evoque?

The Discovery Sport and Range Rover Evoque are both compact SUVs, but they are built for different needs. The Range Rover Evoque seats five in a two-row layout with a lower, coupe-style roofline. The Discovery Sport has a taller, more traditional SUV shape and offers an optional third row that expands seating to seven, along with more cargo space than the Evoque.

What's the Discovery Sport Landmark trim?

Landmark is the exclusive trim for the current Discovery Sport, replacing the previous multi-trim lineup with a single, well-equipped configuration. It includes a gloss black contrast roof, unique 19-inch wheels, Shadow Aluminum interior trim, metal treadplates with Landmark branding, and a mountain-range logo that references the original 1989 Discovery. Standard features include leather seating, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, dual-zone climate control, and an 11.4-inch Pivi Pro touchscreen.

How many seats does the Discovery Sport have?

The Discovery Sport seats five passengers as standard. An optional third-row seating package increases total capacity to seven, making it one of the few vehicles in its size class to offer a third row.

Who is the Discovery Sport best suited for?

The Discovery Sport is best suited for drivers who want off-road capability and design in a compact footprint, along with the flexibility of occasional third-row seating. It fits urban and suburban driving, daily commuting, and small to mid-size families who don't need the full interior volume of the larger Discovery.
