Spotted by the intrepid paparazzi at
CarPix undergoing testing, this partially camouflaged Disco Sport sports a few
telltale signs that JLR has some revisions in the works.
For one, the fuel cap has moved. For another, the
single exhausts on each side of the current model have been replaced by twin tips
on the left side. And the very fact that it's out testing tells us there has to
be something going on.
It could be a new
version of the existing model. (That new cap could well be a charging port.) It
could be an early prototype for its replacement. It could be preparing for a
new Evoque, the current model (sized similar to the Discovery Sport) having
been on the market for over six and a half years already. Or it could be
something else entirely that's simply wearing the current model's bodywork.
Whatever it is, Land Rover is clearly not asleep at
the wheel – especially as the market for SUVs continues to grow at a faster
pace than just about any other segment in the industry.
