The Land Rover Discovery Sport<\/a><\/strong> that was launched as the successor to the Land Rover Freelander 2 in 2014 has received a facelift. Here’s how the Land Rover Discovery Sport contrast with the pre-facelift brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Land Rover Discovery Sport boasts some bold modification inside-out and the organization says that it is a true Land Rover that embodies what the land rover Discovery family stands for. From the more superior and pronounced design on the exterior, to a plusher and more feature-packed cabin on the interior, the luxury C-SUV has developed in every sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Initiating with the exterior design, the face lifted Land Rover Discovery Sport’s front-end is motivated by that of the Land Rover Discovery. At the front, the most important change is the sleeker, full-LED headlamps with LED DRLs that double as dynamic turn signals. In addition to these more ultra-modern headlights, the modified C-SUV has a modern radiator grille, revised lower intake layout and a modified bumper. The fog lamps are much graceful and have been positioned in a subtle manner below the air inlets. Moving to the back, changes include a modified bumper and tweaked LED tail lamps that look sharper and more striking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interior, the modern dashboard and latest steering wheel have been lifted straight from the Discovery, and these elements, along with a fully reorganized centre console, makes the cabin look much more up market and sophisticated. There’s a latest, 10.25-inch Touch Pro HD touch screen infotainment system with Apple Car Play, Android Auto and 4G Wi-Fi hotspot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Latest equipment includes a 12.3-inch HD fully digital instrument cluster, wireless charger for smart phones, Clear Sight Ground View that provides a virtual 180-degree beneath the vehicle onto the touch screen, a smart modern view mirror that converts into a video screen at the flick of a switch to display the view from the rear camera and latest front seats with massage functionality as well. The second and third-row seats are also modern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Land Rover Discovery Sport has a 13% stiffer body for a more enjoyable and a safer drive. It packs 48-volt mild-hybrid automation, which was unavailable in the previous model. The mild-hybrid system empowers the engine to shut-off at speeds below 17 km\/h and provides a torque boost of 140 Nm. The ZF 9-speed automatic transmission has been modified and provides a 2% fuel economy improvement. Unlike the previous model, the latest model comes with the Terrain Response 2, the brand’s second generation Active Driveline System.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below are the mechanical configurations that have been announced for the face lifted brand, accessible in FWD or in AWD with Land Rover’s second generation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
