2015 Land Rover Discovery Sport: Australian Details Revealed

Details on the recently-unveiled Land Rover Discovery Sport have been revealed for the Australian market, ahead of its local arrival next year.

The covers came off the all-new model last month, following a series of teasers and mini-reveals for the model destined to replace the Freelander 2.

The Sport is the first in what’s expected to be a range of Discovery-badged models, and will make its official debut at the Paris Motor Show.

Three engines will power the Discovery Sport in Australia, largely carried-over from the Freelander 2.

The sole petrol-powered option is a 2.0 litre four-cylinder unit producing 177kW and 340Nm, matched only with a nine-speed automatic and returning 8.2 l/100km.
