The sharper, more practical and luxurious
and more efficient 2020 Land Rover Discovery Sport has been launched in India.
The facelifted compact luxury SUV’s prices start from INR 57.06 lakh*. The 2020
Land Rover Discovery Sport has a bolder exterior with new, LED headlamps and
tweaked LED tail lamps. Inside, the three-row version is more comfortable to
sit in, thanks to the second row 40:20:40 split-fold and slide functionality.
The possible number of seat combinations has increased to 24. Other new
elements include a more elegant centre console, more comfortable front seats,
10.25-inch Touch Pro infotainment system and a fully digital instrument
cluster.
With the mid-cycle refresh, Land Rover has
introduced ClearSight smart rearview mirror that displays the feed of a camera
mounted above the rear window in HD resolution and offers a wider (50-degree)
field of vision and wireless charging for mobile devices within the lower
centre console also in the Discovery Sport. The company offers both these
features in India market.
The 2020 Land Rover Discovery Sport is
4,600 mm long, 2,741 mm wide and 2,173 mm tall. It has a wheelbase of 1,724 mm.
There are two engine options in India: 2.0L P250 petrol and 2.0L D180 diesel.
The 2.0-litre P250 petrol engine is a new, electrified unit assisted by a
48-volt mild-hybrid system. An engine-mounted belt-integrated starter generator
saves energy in an under-floor 48V battery comprising 14 x 8 Ah Lithium-ion
pouch cells that can store up to 200 Wh of energy. At speeds below 17 km/h, the
engine shuts off on applying the brakes. The stored energy is used to assist
the engine under acceleration.
The 2.0-litre P250 petrol engine produces 250 PS at 5,500 rpm and 365 Nm of torque at 1,500-4,500 rpm. The 2.0L
D180 diesel engine, carried over from the old model, develops 180 PS at 4,000 rpm and 430 Nm of torque at 1,750-2,500 rpm. A 9-speed automatic
transmission and a 4WD system are standard.
The 2020 Land Rover Discovery Sport is
available in India in only the 7-seat version and inthe standard variant (in S
trim) and in the R-Dynamic variant (in SE trim). Expect more configurations to
arrive later this year, ones that will cost a few lakhs lesser.
