Speaking about the launch, Rajan Amba, Managing Director, JLR India, said, “The new Discovery Sport is versatile by design and perfect for active families that like to hit the road cocooned in luxury. It is a characterful, modern, compact SUV with a versatile interior, breadth of capability as well as intuitive technology, that makes every journey for the family one of utmost comfort and safety."
The 2024 Land Rover Discovery Sport gets a nip and tuck to the exterior. This includes the grille, lower body sills and lower bumpers, all finished in gloss black. The gloss black detailing also extends to the wheel arches, as well as the three-line signature of the front air intakes, giving it a distinctive look. The SUV also gets new 19-inch diamond-turned finish alloy wheels, while Land Rover has added the new Varesine Blue colour option.
The cabin has seen more comprehensive updates on the 2024 Discovery Sport with the older screen replaced by a new 11.4-inch curved glass display for the infotainment system. The centre console has been redesigned for a more minimalist look, like on the Range Rover and Defender models. The unit gets the latest Pivi Pro infotainment system with shortcut keys to major controls and functions on the sidebars. Land Rover says this ensures access to 90 per cent of the tasks with two taps from the home screen.
