Land Rover teases 2015 Discovery Sport [+video]

Land Rover has dropped the biggest hint yet towards the design of its new Discovery Sport, with the debut of a new camouflage wrap confirming that the new compact SUV will be available with 5+2 seating. This new model will become the brand’s most important model, as it will compete in the highly successful compact SUV segment.

As if ‘peeling back’ the outer layer of the vehicle, the camouflage reveals that the Discovery Sport will in fact have the option of two seats in the third row, enhancing its versatility and appeal as a compact, family SUV.

“As you would expect from a Discovery, the versatile Discovery Sport will feature optional 5+2 seating, offering spacious load space and configurable seating, while still retaining a more compact footprint than traditional 5-seat SUVs,” said Gerry McGovern, Design Director and Chief Creative Officer for Land Rover.

Prototype vehicles sporting the new camouflage design left the Halewood plant in the UK to embark on the final testing and development activity across several continents.
