The New 2022 Land Rover Discovery Sport: Compact, Luxurious & Rugged

The newest Land Rover Discovery Sport is an upscale compact SUV that may be the smallest Land Rover model but it doesn't hold back when it comes to luxury and performance. At Land Rover Monterey in Seaside CA, we're happy to report that the 2022 Land Rover Discovery Sport also happens to be the most affordable Land Rover, which means you can get a lot of Land Rover elegance and automotive talent in one very attractive package.

Capability

Let's start the celebration of the new Discovery Sport's prowess with its turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder power plant. It drives you forward confidently with 246 horsepower along with 269 lb-ft of torque. Land Rover all-wheel drive comes standard and so does a nine-speed transmission. Its maximum towing is a hefty 4,409 pounds, which is the best towing number in the Discovery Sport's class.

Fuel Economy

The EPA has estimated that the new 2022 Land Rover Discovery Sport available at Land Rover Monterey can squeeze out 19 miles with every gallon you drive it in the city and up to 23 miles with every you mile you drive it out on the highway. When you're talking about a vehicle as capable off-road as the new Discovery Sport, that's impressive.

Interior

The cabin of the new Discovery Sport could be characterized as a combination of Land Rover luxury and appealing design. The interior is comprised of decidedly upscale materials with a craftsman-like fit and finish. Leather upholstery comes standard, so even at the base level, you're riding in premium comfort. There's plenty of legroom in the second row, a place you might not expect it. Maximum cargo area is a healthy 55.6 cubic feet.

Though the Land Rover Discovery Sport is classified as a compact SUV, it offers a third row for seating and brings the total number of potential occupants up to seven. Second-row seats can be split 40/20/40: They can also slide, recline and fold, providing you with lots of cargo-packing capability.

Driving

The driver's seat in the new 2022 Land Rover Discovery Sport is mounted high enough to make drivers in San Jose and Monterey, CA happy they bought an SUV: Especially one as upscale as the Land Rover Discovery Sport.

Off-Road

Once you're in the wilderness, the new Land Rover Discovery Sport is in its natural element. It's built to go crawling over big rocks and navigate through snow. The body lean can make driving off-road more comfortable and if you prefer, suspension can be tightened through the available adaptive suspension. All-Terrain Progress Control manages throttle and transmission while you focus on driving. It's like cruise control for the off-roader.

Infotainment

The Land Rover Pivi Pro infotainment system can do updates over the air and the system is friendly enough to be used by normal human beings. The 10-inch touchscreen is responsive and not difficult to figure out. Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration will give you safe, easy access to your smartphone apps.
