Land Rover has finally unveiled the all-new Discovery Sport, a premium compact SUV that is the first member of the new Discovery vehicle lineup.

While it may look a little small in pictures, the compact SUV actually provides seven-passenger seating in a “5+2” configuration. The 2015 Land Rover Discovery Sport will be offered with a range of 4-cylinder engines (worldwide) including a 240-hp turbocharged 2.0-liter engine in the United States. The engine will be mated to a 9-speed automatic transmission with standard all-wheel drive.

“The launch of Discovery Sport is a pivotal moment in the 66-year history of Land Rover,” said Phil Popham, Jaguar Land Rover Group Marketing Director. “Not only does it mark the introduction of the first new member of our expanding Discovery family, it also brings the versatility of 5+2 seating to the compact premium SUV market.”

The new 2015 Land Rover Discovery Sport was designed and engineered in the UK and will be produced at the company’s plant in Halewood, Liverpool. Sales will start in early 2015 alongside the existing 7-seater Land Rover LR4 in the United States. Prices will start at $37,995.

Personalization

The Land Rover Discovery Sport will offer a comprehensive range of personalization options, including:

  • Black Pack: a gloss-black grille, door mirror caps, front fender vents, hood and tailgate lettering and a choice of 19- or 20-inch alloy wheel designs
  • Contrast roof in Santorini Black or Corris Grey that extends to the base of the A-pillars
  • A range of seven distinctive alloy wheel designs – including the striking Aero Viper – is available with a selection of Silver or Gloss Black finish, depending on wheel design
  • Front and rear undershields, together with tubular stainless-steel side steps with a highly polished finish, underscore the vehicle’s all-terrain capability. Noble-silver painted door-mirror caps complement the look
  • A full panoramic roof with a dark tint and a special surface treatment for solar protection makes the cabin feel even more spacious. A power-retracting shade offers additional sun shielding
  • Available accessory luggage compartment rails create a highly configurable luggage area, and can be specified in conjunction with a Retention Kit featuring a telescopic crossbeam and retractable band to secure loose items

Also available as dealer accessories:

  • Headrest-mounted iPad® holders for rear-seat passengers feature quick-release for added security
  • A center armrest cooler/warmer box finished in premium leather provides convenient storage for food and drinks and maintains items at a desired temperature
  • A full range of rubber mats and liners help to protect carpets and the luggage compartment from mud and wear-and-tear under heavy use
  • A range of towing features, available as accessories, includes a detachable towing system and fixed-height tow bar
