Land Rover has revealed Australian pricing and details for its Discovery Sport five- and seven-seat SUV range, due in local showrooms from May.
Unveiled in September, the small Discovery Sport arrives as a stylish new replacement for the Freelander, while also signalling a new look for the wider Land Rover range.
The new Discovery Sport is a larger unit than its Freelander predecessor. With a 4590mm overall length it is 91mm longer, riding on an wheelbase that has been stretched 80mm.
In Australia, the Discovery Sport will kick off from $53,300 for the manual-equipped TD4 SE, topping out at $69,000 for the automatic SD4 HSE Luxury.

Suspension is by MacPherson struts at the front and a new multi-link arrangement with aluminium knuckles and links at the rear - a design which also improves rear space compared to the suspension towers of the previous arrangement.
The new design promises greater on-road comfort and agility, but Land Rover says its new Terrain Response system also promises off-road capabilities not far off those of its larger siblings.
