The 2016 Discovery Sport features a bold and progressive design. Offering seven-passenger seating in an optional "5+2" configuration, the 2016 Discovery Sport brings added versatility to the compact premium SUV market.

Delivering a refined combination of performance, efficiency and capability, the 2016 Discovery Sport features a 2.0L turbocharged engine producing 240 horsepower and 251 lb-ft of torque, which routes power to standard all-wheel drive through a nine-speed automatic transmission.

For 2016, the Discovery Sport receives several telematic enhancements. Land Rover InControl Remote & InControl Protect is standard on all Discovery Sport derivatives. In addition to allowing owners to check vehicle status, InControl Remote now allows owners to lock and unlock the doors, start the engine and activate the climate control remotely using a smartphone.

A dynamic, emotional design sets the Discovery Sport apart from luxury competitors, yet this model also offers greater versatility than other premium compact SUVs. High-quality materials and finishes typical of Land Rover also distinguish the driving experience.

With all-wheel-drive traction and long-travel suspension for excellent articulation, the Discovery Sport provides impressive all-terrain performance. The body has been designed to cope with challenging off-road terrain, with 8.3 inches of ground clearance and approach, departure and breakover angles of 25, 31 and 21 degrees, respectively.

Off-road driving, or driving in inclement weather, can often involve water along the way. That is why Land Rover positioned the vehicle's air intake high above the wheel arch to prevent water entry into the engine. A rigorous testing procedure ensured watertight sealing for all doors.
