The Discovery Sport is claimed to handle gradients of up to 45 degrees.The Discovery Sport is no slouch on the road either, thanks to an excellent suspension system that utilizes aluminum components to reduce weight. Each mode precisely adjusts the Discovery Sport's 4-wheel drive and suspension settings, with near-instant terrain-directed updates to throttle response, gearbox, center coupling, braking and stability systems. Land Rover Terrain Response includes settings for General driving, Grass/Gravel/Snow, Mud and Ruts and Sand. The all-wheel drive system continuously varies torque between the front and rear wheels for great handling in all conditions, and the electronic Haldex center coupling is far more responsive than a traditional mechanical coupling.
The more powerful version will do the same feat in 6.3 seconds on its way to a top speed of 137.Full-time all-wheel drive is standard on the Discovery Sport and long-travel suspension lends itself to increased articulation (13.4 inches) in challenging terrain. Land Rover claims the base Discovery Sport will hit 60 mph from a standstill in 7.1 seconds with a top speed of 124 mph. Mated to a 9-speed automatic transmission, this combination is only available on the HSE trim. This setup is good for 286 horsepower and 295 lb-feet of torque. A more powerful version of that same 2.0L engine makes excellent use of a 48V mild hybrid electric motor and battery system. In 2015, Land Rover introduced the Discovery Sport, a premium compact SUV that builds on these traditions.The Discovery Sport is powered by a turbocharged 237-horsepower 2.0L engine making 250 lb-feet of torque. Land Rover built its reputation on superior off-road capabilities and over the decades has added incredible refinement and luxury to its vehicles.
