innovative camouflaged Discovery Sport

option of a third row of rear seats

vehicle's design

plant to embark on final testing stages
Whitley, UK, 30th July 2014: Land Rover has
dropped the biggest hint yet towards the design of Discovery Sport,
with the debut of a new camouflage wrap confirming that the new
compact SUV will be available with 5+2 seating.
As if 'peeling back' the outer layer of the vehicle, the
camouflage reveals that the Discovery Sport will in fact have the
option of two seats in the third row, enhancing its versatility and
appeal as a compact, family SUV.
Prototype cars sporting the new camouflage design left Halewood,
UK, where the Discovery Sport will be manufactured, to embark on
final testing and development activity across several
continents.
"As you would expect from a Discovery, the versatile Discovery
Sport will feature optional 5+2 seating, offering spacious load
space and configurable seating, while still retaining a more
compact footprint than traditional 5-seat SUVs," said Gerry
McGovern, Design Director and Chief Creative Officer for Land
Rover.
Discovery Sport will go on sale alongside the existing Discovery in
2015.
