The Land Rover Discovery Sport is smaller and less costly than the Discovery. It was first released in 2015 as the successor to the Freelander 2. While it was originally built on the same platform as the Range Rover Evoque, an updated platform was released in 2019 with a refresh that also included a plug-in hybrid powertrain. With the capability to go off-road and hold up to seven people, the Discovery Sport remains a versatile and practical option.
