2015 Land Rover Discovery Sport design leaked

A scale model photo of the 2015 Land Rover Discovery Sport has been leaked on the internet thereby previewing the design of the upcoming SUV that will replace the Freelander nomenclature in the British car maker’s international line-up. From the image, it is evident that the 2015 Land Rover Discovery Sport has maintained many of the design details of the Land Rover Discovery Vision Concept revealed earlier this year. The new car features the headlight similar to the Evoque and humungous sunroof has also been carried forward from the concept car as seen in the scale model pictures.

In terms of powertrain, the 2015 Land Rover Discovery Sport will feature the Freelander’s 2.2-litre diesel and later be offered in the all-new family of Ingenium four-cylinder diesel and petrol engine options. It is also rumoured that a range-topping SVR variant could be also in the works and it will likely use a V6 3.0-litre supercharged engine to endow the car with the required extra oomph. 

The 2015 Land Rover Discovery Sport has been rigorously tested all around the world as it has been positioned as a global car and it would be officially unveiled on September 3rd. The prototypes were exposed to harsh weather conditions with temperature ranging from a chilly 36 degrees Celsius to scorching 42 degrees Celsius. Also being a Land Rover the car is expected to handle off-road conditions without much effort and for this purpose the British marquee paid special attention in developing its off-road capabilities. It is expected that the 2015 Land Rover Discovery Sport will be launched in the UK market with prices starting at Rs 26 lakh.
