Land Rover chose to launch the Discovery Sport before its brand-new Ingenium diesel engine became available (it debuted in the Jaguar XE) and so persists, for now, with the same 2.2-litre turbocharged four-cylinder diesel engine (in two states of tune) and the 2.0-litre petrol four-cylinder as both the Evoque and the Freelander. We’ll have a review of a Discovery Sport with the third row in the next few weeks. Our test Discovery Sport SD4 didn’t have this option, instead getting a full-sized alloy beneath the boot floor. While Land Rover has made a big deal of the Discovery Sport being a 5+2 it’s worth mentioning that the third-row seats are an extra cost option which add $1990 to the sticker price – no matter the variant. Drop the second-row seats, and you can do this from the boot via small buttons or from the second-row seats via levers, and space grows to an impressive 1698 litres. ![]() The key difference is the back-end of the car which features an all-new rear suspension set-up that’s not only allowed Land Rover to find enough room in the boot to fit a third-row of seats (for two people), but it’s also allowed for a squarer boot which offers 429 litres of storage. ![]() Borrowing heavily from the look of the Range Rover Evoque, the new Discovery Sport is, it’s fair to say, a stunner and, although it shares one or two of its oily bits with both the Range Rover Evoque and now-dead Freelander it’s essentially an all-new vehicle. In its place is the much-hyped 2015 Land Rover Discovery Sport.
