Powertrains

The updated 2024 Land Rover Discovery Sport range opens with the carryover P250 mild hybrid 2.0-litre turbo-four producing 184kW and 365Nm.

The five-seat vehicle claims 7.8 seconds from 0-100km/h, while the seven-seat model claims 8.1 seconds.

The new-for-Australia plug-in hybrid P300e employs a smaller 1.5-litre three-cylinder turbo engine paired to an electric motor, an eight-speed automatic transmission, and a 14.9kWh lithium-ion battery pack. It has a 227kW total system out, while 0-100km/h is achieved in a claimed 6.6 seconds.

Thanks to new battery chemistry, Land Rover claims the P300e can drive up to 61 kilometres in EV-only mode on the WLTP testing cycle.

What else is new?

The biggest updates are found inside, with the old 10-inch central infotainment unit replaced with Land Rover's prevalent Pivi Pro system, interfacing through a larger, floating 11.4-inch curved glass display.

The system supports over-the-air updates, with its latest iteration adopting permanent sidebar shortcuts and hotkey functions, which Land Rover says "allows users to access 90 per cent of tasks within two taps from the home screen".

The old physical HVAC stack has similarly been migrated into the Pivi Pro system, affording a minimal, clean dashboard fascia with open storage, space for smartphone charging and a more elegant, smaller gear shifter.

Elsewhere, piano black materials have been swapped for more durable anodised aluminium surfacing, with a new set of cupholders for the rear seats and a covered storage bin up front.

A digital instrument cluster and steering wheel shift paddles are now standard equipment on the new Discovery Sport.
