Pretoria, South Africa – 11 June 2025 – Land Rover’s Discovery Sport, the brand’s compact SUV designed for modern families with a taste for adventure, has received a comprehensive update. Building on its legacy of versatility, comfort, and go-anywhere capability, the refreshed line-up introduces a striking new Dynamic S model and two distinctive editions – the luxurious Discovery Sport Metropolitan and the heritage-inspired Discovery Sport Landmark. With enhanced technology, curated accessories, and thoughtful design upgrades, the Discovery Sport continues to be the benchmark in premium family mobility.
A Compact SUV with Big Personality
From school runs to weekend escapes, the Discovery Sport has long been a trusted companion for South African families. The latest update makes it even more compelling. Starting with the Dynamic S, the new range adopts a more assertive look thanks to gloss black detailing on the lower body panels, wheel arches, grille, and bumpers, underlining its confident, road-ready presence.
All variants now come standard with a digital instrument cluster, steering-wheel-mounted gearshift paddles, and an elegant 11.4-inch curved glass touchscreen running Land Rover’s intuitive Pivi Pro infotainment system. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are also included as standard, ensuring seamless connectivity for every journey.
Discovery Sport Metropolitan: Flagship Luxury, Everyday Versatility
Positioned at the top of the range, the new Metropolitan edition elevates the Discovery Sport with exclusive luxury and design details inspired by its larger Discovery sibling. Outside, Atlas Silver accents on the Discovery script and underbody shields, combined with Diamond Turned 20-inch alloys (optional in Gloss Black), mark it out as something special.
Inside, the Metropolitan surrounds occupants in Windsor Leather upholstery, complemented by 14-way electrically adjustable heated and cooled seats. A premium Meridian™ Surround Sound System, the cutting-edge ClearSight Rear View Mirror, and Cabin Air Purification Plus elevate the comfort and wellness experience for all passengers—whether you’re navigating morning traffic or heading out on a cross-country holiday.
Discovery Sport Landmark: Heritage-Inspired Practicality
Paying tribute to more than three decades of Discovery DNA, the Landmark edition blends historical references with everyday functionality. The signature mountain range logo – a nod to the original 1989 Discovery – appears on the treadplates and is projected onto the ground by puddle lights when unlocking the vehicle, creating a unique sense of occasion.
Practical touches abound, including a panoramic roof, slide-and-recline second-row seating, and Click & Go media holders for rear passengers. Roof rails and a Surround View Camera further underscore the Landmark’s family-first approach to convenience and confidence.
Curated Accessories for Every Adventure
Whether it’s beach getaways, snow holidays, long-distance road trips or biking weekends, Discovery Sport now offers a suite of curated accessory packs tailored to active lifestyles:
- Beach Days Pack: Includes a centre armrest cooler, sunshades, and a collapsible load area organiser.
- Road Trip Pack: Adds Click & Go media holders, cross bars, and a spacious roof box.
- Snow Days Pack: Features a Ski and Snowboard Carrier, cross bars, rubber floor mats, and a Snow Traction System.
- Biking Adventures Pack and For Dogs Pack: Continue to offer practical additions for cycling enthusiasts and four-legged family members.
These packs reflect Land Rover’s understanding that no two family adventures are the same – and that preparation can make all the difference.
Electrified Performance, No Compromise
Discovery Sport continues to offer a range of advanced powertrains, including plug-in electric hybrid (PHEV) and mild hybrid electric vehicle (MHEV) options. The PHEV variant offers an electric-only range of up to 61km (WLTP), ideal for the majority of daily commutes and school runs. Rapid DC charging gets you back on the road fast, achieving 0–80% in just 30 minutes.
For those who prefer traditional engines, Ingenium petrol and diesel options are still available, with MHEV technology ensuring smooth stop-start functionality and improved efficiency during urban driving.
Made for South African Families
With its blend of refined design, innovative features, and off-road DNA, the refreshed Discovery Sport offers a compelling choice for South African buyers seeking a vehicle that balances practicality with panache. Priced from R1,362,900, it remains an attainable entry into Land Rover’s luxury SUV portfolio—now with even more personality and purpose.
