New Land Rover Discovery Sport images

The Range Rover Sport has seven seats so the Discovery Sport will too!



Somebody is very busy at the Land Rover design department. The cars actually share more of a family resemblance than ever but the camouflage being used really is very creative. There was the, er, vivid Sport SV-R and the kind of 'is it an optical illusion?' look seen on the prototype Sport, now we have the Discovery Sport.

Could be a squeeze back there

Described by Land Rover as 'peeling back' the outer layer of the vehicle, it reveals the most significant current talking point of the the Disco Sport: seven seats. It's officially 5+2 which isn't surprising when you see the proximity of the rear chairs to both the bootlid and middle row. This all in a more compact footprint than traditional five-seat SUV, apparently. Let's hope they're travelling light.

And there's little more to know about the Discovery Sport for now. No additional aircraft carrier or sci-fi technology. The prototypes are now undergoing final testing before sales commence in 2015. The Sport joins the existing Discovery range so Land Rover will offer two Discovery models and two Range Rovers with seven seats. Spoilt for choice!
