While the Discovery has led the Land Rover showroom from its debut in 1994, the Discovery Sport debuted in 2016 and was the most sought after model in 2019. It feels only fair to compare the new 2020 Land Rover Discovery Sport and the 2020 Discovery.
Both vehicles share similar designs in and out. Beginning with the outside both have two front grilles, but the Discovery’s bottom grille is covered by a bumper making it much less visible. You will also notice that as a whole, the Discovery’s exterior is constructed with a bigger wheelbase, length, width, and height than the Discovery Sport. Both vehicles are designed with 20-inch wheels, Premium LED headlights with signature DRL, back video cameras, and optional tow hitch assist. Front fog lights and a Panoramic roof are optional in the Discovery Sport while they are standard in the Discovery. The Discovery comes with back/front fog lights and 360° car parking aid while the Discovery Sport comes with standard rear fog lights and optional front fog lamps and 360° parking aid. Both vehicles are designed with 20-inch wheels, Premium LED headlamps with signature DRL, rear video cameras, and optional tow hitch assist. The inside is designed with 3rd row seating, warmed and ventilated seats, 10-inch touch Pro, multi-functioning steering wheel, storage spaces, and a lot more. The Discovery has the choice to include Four-Zone Climate control while the Discovery Sport has a Two-Zone heat/AC control setup.
When it pertains to power these two SUVs are a little different. The 2020 Land Rover Discovery is fitted with an 3.0L Supercharged V6 that makes 340 horsepower and 332lb-ft of torque, it is mated with an 8-speed automatic transmission. The 2020 Land Rover Discovery Sport is powered by 2.0L Turbo 4-cylinder engine that produces 286 horsepower and 295lb-ft of torque, it is mated with a 9-speed automatic transmission. Advanced towing assist is optional for both, yet the Discovery has a higher towing ability than the Discovery Sport. The Discovery can return up to a combined 18 miles per gallon while the Discovery Sport gets 21mpg combined, making it more fuel efficient than the Discovery. The Discovery Sport produces 145 miles per hour at top speed which is a little quicker than the Discovery at 130miles per hour. (Source: www.LandRoverusa.com)
