Joelle Taylor, Head of Discovery Strategy, Product and Services, said: “Discovery Sport’s compact dimensions belie its outstanding interior space and exceptional seven-seat versatility, making it the perfect companion for family adventures all-year-round, which we know come in all shapes and sizes.

Finely crafted, tactile materials create a luxurious cabin, while the interior is bright, spacious and airy with stadium-style seating for optimum visibility in all three rows.
Discovery Sport Metropolitan
The new flagship Discovery Sport Metropolitan emulates its bigger Discovery Metropolitan sibling with design cues that highlight the brand’s compelling blend of luxury and versatility.
On the outside, the Metropolitan edition is distinguished by Atlas Silver Discovery script on its bonnet and tailgate, and Indus Silver finished front and rear undershields. The front grille features a distinctive silver foil insert, while Metropolitan branded treadplates are revealed when the doors are open. It also has new 20‑inch Diamond Turned multi-spoke alloy wheels, optionally available with a Gloss Black finish.
Inside, the Metropolitan features Windsor Leather with 14-way electrically adjustable heated and cooled seats and a host of extra comfort and convenience features. These include a 650W 14-speaker (plus dual-channel subwoofer) Meridian Surround Sound System, ingenious Clearsight Rear View Mirror1 for enhanced rearward visibility – even with a car full of people and pets – and Cabin Air Purification Plus to create a travelling environment that’s a breath of fresh air.
Discovery Sport Landmark
The Landmark name celebrates Discovery’s rich history, earned across more than 35 years of adventure. The Discovery Sport Landmark is identified by the mountain range logo that was first seen on the original 1989 Discovery. For Discovery Sport this instantly recognisable logo appears on the aluminium treadplates, alongside Landmark script. At night, the familiar logo illuminates on the ground when unlocking the vehicle, with puddle lights projecting from the underside of the door mirrors.
The Landmark edition highlights the exceptional versatility of the Discovery Sport range, with slide and recline functionality for the second-row seats and a panoramic roof to create a light and airy cabin. Click & Go media holders keep the family in the second row entertained, while a Surround View Camera aids manoeuvring and roof rails maximise versatility.
Every Discovery Sport Landmark features a digital instrument cluster and steering wheel-mounted gearshift paddles as standard, while the centre console has an elegant floating 11.4-inch curved glass touchscreen.
The latest Pivi Pro 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 up to 90 percent of tasks within two taps from the home screen. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto also feature as standard for the ultimate connectivity and convenience.
Curated optional accessories for every adventure
Discovery Sport is a much loved-family member designed for clients to explore their world. An expanded selection of curated accessory packs help Discovery Sport owners make the most of every journey, from spontaneous days out to holidays and weekends away.
New packs for Beach Days, Road Trip and Snow Days join existing Biking Adventures and For Dogs packs, enabling families to tailor their Discovery Sport to suit the demands of their individual lifestyle pursuits.
The Beach Days pack is perfect for a run to the coast, with a centre armrest cooler for food and drink on the go and tailored sunshades helping keep the cabin cool when parked in the sun. A collapsible organiser for the load area keeps loose items tidied away after a busy day at the beach.
The Road Trip pack includes Click & Go media holders for rear seat occupants to keep them entertained. Cross bars and a roof box bring extra luggage capacity for long haul trips.
For Snow Days, Discovery Sport’s winter capability is realised. Up to four pairs of skis or two snowboards can be transported easily, using a Ski and Snowboard Carrier and Cross bars on the roof rails. Inside, rubber floor mats help protect the carpet from wet, snowy boots and shoes. To help get you to the piste with the minimum of fuss, the Snow Traction System provides extra grip and reassurance in slippery conditions.
Advanced and efficient powertrains
The all-wheel drive Discovery Sport continues to offer a range of efficient plug-in electric hybrid and Ingenium 4-cylinder petrol propulsion options, delivering responsive performance. For the electric hybrid, a NEDC range of up to 66km means up to 90 percent of average daily journeys are achievable in pure electric mode. And with DC rapid charging capability, a zero to 80 per cent charge is complete in as little as 30 minutes.
