The Land Rover Discovery Sport (internal code L550) is a compact luxury crossover SUV[4][5] produced by British automotive company Jaguar Land Rover since 2014, under their Land Rover marque,[6] and since 2017 their best-selling model.[7]
Introduced in late 2014,[8] it replaces the Freelander in a revised Land Rover range of vehicles, with Discovery joining Range Rover as a sub-brand.[9][8] Contrary to its predecessor, the slightly larger car is also available in a seven seat layout.
The pre-facelift Discovery Sport is based on the JLR D8/LR-MS platform, customised for off-road applications, and is powered by a range of four cylinder petrol and diesel engines.[8][10] It is the first Discovery introduced with a unibody structure.
Land Rover described the facelifted Discovery Sport as being based on the JLR PTA platform, a rebrand of the D8. It is also used by the Jaguar E-Pace and L551 version of Range Rover Evoque.
