At Land Rover Birmingham, we're often asked about the differences between the Discovery and Discovery Sport models. While both offer refined design and impressive capability, there are some key distinctions between these two versatile SUVs. Our dealership in Irondale, AL, is here to help Birmingham area drivers find the ideal SUV for their needs and lifestyle.
Size and Passenger/Cargo Space
One of the most noticeable differences between the new Discovery and new Discovery Sport is their size. The Discovery is a larger vehicle, measuring 195.1 inches in length compared to the Discovery Sport's 181 inches. This translates to a roomier interior in the Discovery, which provides seating for up to seven passengers, while the Discovery Sport seats five. The Discovery also offers more maximum cargo capacity at 70.5 cubic feet compared to 60 cubic feet in the Discovery Sport.
Engine Power
The Discovery comes equipped with a more powerful engine. It features a robust 2.0-liter V6 producing 296 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. In comparison, the Discovery Sport's 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine outputs 246 horsepower and 269 pound-feet of torque. While both provide smooth, capable performance, the Discovery offers a bit more muscle for towing and hauling.
Design and Technology
When it comes to styling, the Discovery presents a bold, commanding presence with its distinctive front grille and elegantly sculpted body lines. The Discovery Sport shares a similar front fascia but features a more compact profile. Inside, both SUVs offer premium materials and advanced technology, including the intuitive Pivi Pro infotainment system. However, the Discovery comes with wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto smartphone integration, while the Discovery Sport requires a wired connection.
