Mahwah, NJ – Wednesday 14 June 2023: Discovery Sport is versatile by design and ready for family adventures, with up to seven seats. A dramatically refined new interior exudes modern luxury, within which clients can benefit from the latest Pivi Pro (2) infotainment system on an elegant single curved glass touchscreen, as well as all the practical storage, seat configurations and wellness-promoting technologies that make it a favorite among active, modern families.

Luxurious cabin quality comes from finely crafted, tactile materials. The interior feels bright, spacious, and airy with stadium-style seating for optimum visibility in all three rows. The optional panoramic glass roof further adds to the sense of space.

Discovery Sport has a refined interior that features a new gear shifter surrounded by a dark anodized aluminium trim finisher and an elegant three-spoke multi-function steering wheel which has buttons that can interact with Pivi Pro or activate a virtual voice assistant. Discovery Sport S and Dynamic SE models feature DuoLeather interiors with up to three color options. Clients who do not wish to opt for leather can choose Suedecloth paired with the luxuriously soft, non-leather Luxtec, made from recycled polyester microfiber.

Discovery Sport is a characterful, modern, compact SUV, with a versatile interior and intuitive technology – perfect for active family life.

Available with up to seven seats, the Discovery Sport’s versatile and spacious interior offers generous room and comfort, with up to 24 possible seat configurations (9). The second row of seats slides and reclines with a 40:20:40 split, while a load area of up to 63.35 cu/ft with the rear seats folded down accommodates spontaneous adventures. A powered tailgate makes loading and unloading hassle-free.

Every Discovery Sport now features a digital instrument cluster and steering wheel-mounted gearshift paddles as standard, while the redesigned and simplified center console boasts an elegant new floating 11.4-inch curved glass touchscreen. The latest Pivi Pro (2) infotainment set-up features permanently accessible sidebars, which provide shortcuts to key vehicle controls and functions, such as media, volume, climate, and navigation. This allows users to access 90 per cent of tasks within two taps from the home screen.

Convenience comes as standard with Amazon Alexa (7) voice AI and Wireless Apple CarPlay TM (7) making it easy to control major functions. Android Auto® (8) also features as standard for the ultimate connectivity. The redesigned center console liberates storage space and accommodates Wireless Device Charging offered as standard, giving Discovery Sport a spacious open front console storage area for superior everyday family practicality. In addition, two USB-C chargers are available in each row to keep everyone fully connected and charged, with 12V power in the second row and load space. Clients who opt for seven seats also benefit from third-row climate control and USB-C charging.

Discovery Sport now offers an extraordinary suite of technology features for the whole family thanks to the introduction of the latest Pivi Pro. The reductive new center console complements the refreshed exterior and liberates even more generous storage areas. Meanwhile, its range of power options, all-terrain capability technologies, and impressive flexibility with up to seven seats mean it is truly capable of taking just about everything family life can throw at it.

Discovery Sport features sophisticated interior air quality technologies available thanks to Cabin Air Purification Plus. With PM2.5 Filtration and CO2 Management, the system may promote wellbeing for the whole family by monitoring and controlling CO2 levels inside. The advanced system combines nanoe™ X technology to combat pathogens and help significantly reduce odors, bacteria, and allergens, while the Air Quality Index (AQI) app technology allows clients to monitor outside air quality at their location and their destination on screen.

Discovery Sport also offers a suite of camera technologies. Opportunity for greater driver reassurance comes courtesy of 3D surround cameras and ClearSight Ground View TM (6) which offer feeds viewed on the 11.4-inch touchscreen, and ClearSight Rear View Mirror TM (5) which is designed to provide an unobstructed view behind the vehicle, regardless of what is in the back of the vehicle.

The new Discovery Sport also features subtle exterior updates highlighting its distinctive Discovery DNA.

Discovery Sport S features full body-colored lower sills, a new contrasting Gloss Black grill with signature Discovery hexagon motif, Indus Silver skid plates, and Bright Atlas Discovery script on the bonnet.

Dynamic models are more assertive and purposeful, with a contrast roof and exterior accents – including Discovery script, grill, lower body sills, and lower bumpers – all featuring a distinctive Gloss Black finish. Gloss Black front claw detailing on the bumpers and wheel arches amplifies the purposeful stance, with the three-line signature of the front air intakes a clear Discovery design hallmark.

Bold new optional alloy wheel designs include a 21-inch finished in Gloss Black and 19-inch in a Gloss Black or Diamond Turned finish. Varesine Blue is added to the curated exterior paint palette.

 The P250 Ingenium gasoline engine in the seven-seat variant provides 0-60mph in 7.5 seconds.

The Discovery Sport is available to order priced from a base MSRP of $48,900 (3). in the US. Configure yours now at https://buildyour.landrover.com/lr/en_us/l550_k24/_/ipr/inspire/
