RE: New Land Rover Discovery Sport images
Tuesday 29th July 2014
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.

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

So its still going to be just too small? Like my current Freelander, not quite big enough. The seats have to come down far too often.
Other than that, it looks OK. I bet they won't offer a petrol with decent performance in the UK, despite offering it elsewhere.
I'd be prepared to pay extra for one, if it pushed out something around or more than 260BHP.
I guess I am not their usual SUV buyer.
Be interested in the dimensions of this, not that interested in the +2 bit just how big the boot is. Ran a FL2 for a while, which was actually a better car than most gave it credit for. Quite interested in this FL3/Disc Sport.
Just didn't think the boot was big enough in the ZfL2 and that alone would stop me buying one of these. Although they did have more rear leg room than the then RRS, aka the inverse Tardis.
