  • Available to be ordered now, deliveries to begin at the end of second quarter or start of third
  • Certain features such as 3D surround camera no longer come as standard

The 2022 Land Rover Discovery Sport local pricing and features details have been revealed for Australia.

Changes have also been made to the list of standard features and equipment the Discovery Sport comes with.

Matrix LED headlights and signature daytime running lights are now standard on R-Dynamic HSE.

However, the Clearsight interior rear-view mirror and 3D surround camera are now optional extras across the range.

Other scrapped options include the tow hitch receiver, suede-cloth steering-wheel loadspace partition net, secure tracker, garage door opener, locking wheel nuts, convenience pack, and premium upgrade interior pack.

The configurable dynamics and adaptive dynamics are no longer available as individual options either. They can now only be had as part of the dynamic handling pack.

Two new colours have also been added – Lantau Bronze and Ostuni Pearl White, which replaces Yulong White.

Engines, transmission and fuel economy

Powertrains for the Discovery Sport model range remain unchanged, with one petrol and one diesel motor available.

Both the petrol and diesel burner also come in two different states of tune. The petrol unit can be had in either P200 or P250 spec, and the diesel engine in D165 or D200.

The turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine produces 147kW and 320Nm in P200 guise, and 183kW/365Nm in P250. On the ADR combined cycle, both return an economy rating of 8.1L/100km.

The less powerful turbo-diesel D165 gets 120kW and 380Nm, while the D200 makes 150kW and 430Nm. Both examples have a fuel economy rating of 5.7L/100km on the combined cycle.

Petrol powered examples score a 67 litre fuel tank, while diesel examples get a slightly smaller 65 litre tank.

All Discovery Sport models send power to all four wheels through a nine-speed automatic transmission.

Dimensions and towing capacity

All of the Land Rover Discovery Sport variants share the same dimensions, measuring 4597mm long, 2069mm wide, and 1727mm tall. The wheelbase measures 2741mm.

For the petrol-powered examples, maximum braked towing capacity is rated at 2000 kilograms, while the diesel motors can pull slightly more at 2200 kilograms.

Warranty and servicing

Like all Land Rover products, the Discovery Sport comes with a five-year/unlimited-kilometre warranty and five years roadside assistance. Five-years servicing plans are also available to purchase.

Availability

WhichCar has confirmed the 2022 Land Rover Discovery Sport can be ordered now.

However, due to COVID-19 and the current semiconductor shortage, the Land Rover factory is currently closed.

This means the earliest we’ll see a 2022 Discovery Sport on Aussie roads is towards the end of the second quarter or the beginning of the third quarter of 2021.
