Land Rover Discovery Sport 2 (L550) Crossover (2019)
Product Gallery
Product Overview
Land Rover Discovery Sport 2 (chassis code L550) is a compact crossover in production from 2019. It is available with a range of inline-3 and inline-4 engines that displaced 1.5 to 2.0 liters.
Compared to the original Discovery Sport, the Mk2 uses the exact same chassis with a FWD platform. The engines have been updated but not fully replaced. The same troublesome ZF 9HP automatic transmission is used.
Those who drive offroad, for work or leisure, will appreciate the approach, departure, and breakover angles that the chassis offers. The official fuel economy rating is exceptionally rosy, though it may cast more doubts on the trustworthiness of the regulators and perhaps the owner's own sanity than it relates to reality.
Drivers who appreciate handling should keep in mind that the Land Rover Discovery Sport uses MacPherson front suspension, which doesn't provide the best cornering performance.

Reviewer score 57%LTP-certified figure of 39.6mpg, while CO2 emissions stand at 187g/km. There’s a hint of mid-range punch when you plant the throttle, but the rate at which this heavy SUV gathers pace is unequivocally relaxed. The Discovery Sport also handles very well indeed. Not in a sporty fashion, but with plenty of quiet confidence. On optional 21in wheels, the Discovery Sport has a tendency to sniff out ruts and bumps.

Pros
- Fantastically smooth and refined engine
- Comfortable to drive
Cons
- Lack of straight-line performance
- Cheap to run

Reviewer score 67%The Discovery Sport has undergone the unusual automotive equivalent of having a heart, lung and liver transplant – it now rides on an entirely new platform. The Ingenium diesel engine is still identifiable as such when moving off, but on the move it’s as subdued as a dozing dog. More relevant to most owners, whose Land Rover adventures occur more in the mind than off-road, are a new touchscreen interface, new digital or part-digital instruments and significantly more cabin storage space.

Pros
- Excellent off-road performance
- New infotainment system
Cons
- Expensive for what’s on offer

Reviewer score 66%All Discovery Sports equipped with automatic transmission are fitted with a kinetic energy-harvesting belt-driven starter-generator and storage battery as standard. The P200 doesn’t feel as brisk as its 9.0sec-to-62mph time suggests, overtaking hardly lightning fast. But the engine is smoothly subdued when revved, the nine-speed transmission shuffles its upper gears with aplomb.

Pros
- Impressive off-roading capability
- Comfortable to drive
- Excellent infotainment system
Cons
- Lacklustre handling

Reviewer score 77%The new Pivi Pro infotainment system is now standard fitment on all but the entry-level version of the Discovery Sport and Evoque. We’ve been behind the wheel of the second-from-top Discovery Sport R-Dynamic SE, which is priced from a cool £51,895 outright when equipped with the P300e drivetrain. It’s a well-rounded and stylishly rendered platform.

Pros
- Superb infotainment system
- Comfortable to drive
- Decent fuel economy
Cons
- No third row option
autocar[5]
Reviewer score 69%The Discovery Sport P300e R-Dynamic AWD is a much more different Sport than it appears on the outside. With its Evoque plug-in sibling, it is the first model to use the new Jaguar Land Rover 1.5-litre Ingenium turbo petrol three-cylinder engine. An electrified back axle powered by a 107bhp electric motor with its own lithium ion battery can propel the vehicle at up to 84mph.

Pros
- Powerful petrol engine
- Impressive range
Cons
- Not as practical as the Evoque
autocar[6]
Reviewer score 63%The Discovery Sport is the brand’s top priority as its number-one global seller, with 83,574 units sold in 2019. HSE trim has all the trappings that you would expect. Highlights include heated electric seats, 20in wheels, a powered tailgate, sat-nav and a 4G wi-fi hotspot.

Reviewer score 64%The Discovery Sport replaced the Freelander in the Land Rover range in 2014. Prices for the Discovery Sport start from around £32,000 for the entry-level model. The priciest Discovery Sport – the P300e plug-in hybrid version in R Dynamic HSE specification – comes to roughly £51,000.

Pros
- Excellent off-road capability
- Competitively priced
Cons
- No seven-seater option
- Alternatives offer more standard kit

Reviewer score 66%The new Land Rover Discovery Sport comes with a choice of three diesel and two petrol engines. All but the basic D150 - a 2.0-litre diesel with front-wheel drive and a manual gearbox - come with mild hybrid tech. The Trailer Assist system allows the driver to control the car's steering through one of the dials on the dashboard. It's several orders of magnitude better off road than any of its rivals.

Pros
- Great off-road performance
- Improved cabin tech
Cons
- Middling diesel engine
- No third screen for heating and ventilation settings

Reviewer score 71%At 483 litres, the XC60's boot is the smallest here, and that's true with the rear seats folded as well. The Volvo is also able to tow more than either of its rivals, to a maximum of 2,400kg. Despite a mild-hybrid boost, it'll also be more expensive to run than the X3, but it's luxurious and spacious inside.

Pros
- Excellent off-road capability
- Comfortable to drive
- Decent infotainment tech
Cons
- Lack of practicality
- More expensive to run than rivals

Reviewer score 73%The Discovery Sport P300e shares its basic powertrain with the Evoque. That means a 1.5-litre three-cylinder petrol engine driving the front wheels, and 107bhp electric motor on the rear axle, delivering four-wheel drive when required. There's 15kWh battery, too - enough, Land Rover claims, for the car to travel up to 38 miles on electric power alone.

Pros
- Powerful petrol engine
- Comfortable to drive
- Decent infotainment system
Cons
- Lack of third-row seats
autoexpress[11]
Reviewer score 64%First impressions are that it's an SUV families will appreciate. The build quality feels robust, there are lots of large storage cubbies and device-charging options in the cabin, plus there's plenty of space. The seats that flip up from the boot floor are small, though. The diesel engine, with a nine-speed automatic gearbox, lacks punch off the line.

Pros
- Powerful 4x4 tech
- Lots of storage space
Cons
- Diesel engine isn’t as good as rivals
- Lacks punch off the line

Reviewer score 68%The Discovery Sport P300e is a plug-in hybrid version of the Land Rover Discovery Sport. Running on its own battery system and featuring over the air updates, the new package is significantly quicker to operate with far less lag than its predecessor. Overall power is rated at 305bhp, with a 398lb ft slug of torque. Charging the 15kWh lithium-ion battery pack is relatively time efficient, too.

Pros
- Powerful plug-in hybrid
- Easy to drive
Cons
- Not the most fun to drive

Reviewer score 57%The Land Rover Discovery Sport's interior is mostly elegant and quite comfortable. Its second-row seat is seriously spacious, with plenty of room and firm cushions for all-day support. Cruise control with a speed limiter is standard, but adaptive cruise control is optional. The Discovery Sport doesn't come with much standard equipment.
