Aimed squarely at family buyers, the enhancements focus on bolder styling, higher standard specifications and greater personalisation options.

Joelle Taylor, Head of Discovery Strategy, Product and Services, highlighted the model's core strengths: "The Discovery Sport's compact size masks its generous interior space and practical seven-seat versatility, making it an ideal partner for family adventures year-round, whatever shape they take. Complementing this clever practicality, the Discovery Sport now presents a more dynamic, luxurious and individual character, amplified by our new Metropolitan and Landmark editions and additional accessory packs."

The Discovery Sport's adaptable interior remains a key feature, offering up to seven seats. The second-row slides and reclines, contributing to up to 24 possible seating configurations. Family cargo is accommodated by a flexible load area reaching up to 1 794 litres. Stadium-style seating enhances visibility for all passengers within the bright and airy cabin, finished with finely crafted, tactile materials.
