In 2015, the award-winning Discovery gained a sibling in Discovery Sport which globally, became Land Rover’s best-seller. Together, Discovery and Discovery Sport became a family and have sold 1.7 million vehicles globally.

The critically acclaimed Discovery family continues to be a strong favourite with experts too with over 300 awards to its name. The current generation Discovery continues to add accolades to the trophy cabinet, most recently achieving top honours from The Sun, Auto Express, Carbuyer, 4x4 and Tow Car publications and the Association of Scottish Motoring Writers.
