This S trim comes fitted with a weird semi-digital instrument cluster, and I say that because, strangely, even the speedo and the tacho are semi-digital.Įverything else about the cabin is largely familiar. The steering wheel is new for this Disco, but it’s the same style as the other cars from the brand. JLR has ditched its old rotary gear knob in favour of a traditional stick on this one – and to me that’s a welcome change. The automatic climate control and the Terrain Response system primarily continue with the traditional knobs, thankfully, although some buttons are touch-sensitive. The Discovery Sport now gets a larger 10.25-inch touchscreen head unit with the TouchPro system that we’ve experienced in other JLR cars as well. Moving on to the differences - they are primarily concentrated at the centre console, steering wheel and the instrument cluster. The slender touches of wood on the dash and the door pads add a sense of richness to the interior. The outline of the dash remains largely unchanged and it continues to use soft-touch materials at the top and on the upstanding surfaces. The cabin now feels noticeably more sumptuous and up-to-date. In the fully loaded R-Dynamic trim, these bits are replaced by gloss black panels, and that adds the overall sportiness of the car.Īfter nearly half a decade, JLR has finally given the Discovery Sport’s interior an update. Our test car was the base S trim with silver accents and alloy wheels. The headlights are now sleeker too and although the old DRLs had become a Discovery Sport signature, I quite like these reprofiled ones.Īround the back, the Discovery Sport continues with the same cues as the 2019 model, with the exception of the LED taillights. The bumper now sports a relatively uncluttered and elegant design with sleek fog lamps positioned below the air vents. And that, becomes noticeable especially at the front. The Discovery Sports’ exterior design has been redone, and it now looks akin to the larger Discovery.

So, how much of a difference have all the changes made to this new Discovery Sport? Let’s find out. But keeping in mind that the 2020 Discovery Sport is based on the new Premium Transverse Architecture (PTA) platform, and also gets noticeable updates to the exterior, interior and the features list, it is, we believe, safe to call it a new-generation model.

So many iterations of the Discovery Sport launched have over the years blurred the lines between mildly refreshed models and face-lifts.
DISCOVERY SUV 2020 UPDATE
So much so, that it has gotten an update every year since 2015. Ever since its debut nearly half a decade ago, the Discovery Sport has been in a constant state of evolution. I find JLR’s approach to the Discovery Sport quite fascinating. We take a closer look at all the changes and the corresponding outcome on Land Rover’s entry-level offering
