2019 Discovery Sport Interior

The Discovery Sport has the unique potential in this segment to offer seating for up to seven passengers - Land Rover calls this 5+2, as the third row entails two narrow seats that are, honestly, only really suitable for small children. Still, the cabin in generally spacious, with a sliding second row trying to mitigate ingress to the rear seats. Although not quite as luxurious as some of its cousins (the Evoque, for example), some effort has been made to up the luxury-ratio in the functionality versus comfort design style which Land Rover is known for. The dash is a little more streamlined, which less buttons, knobs, and dials to distract or clutter, and only those that are truly functional are within arms reach. For the driver, this translates to an ergonomic, comfortable position. A nifty added feature is the additional air vents to the third row when equipped as with 5+2 seating to ensure all passengers are kept comfy.

Seating and Interior Space

Space in the Disco Sport is ample - unless you choose to add the optional third row. In the seven-seater setup, there is much less room to go around; the third row is especially tight, and even the second row - although capable of housing three people across - is realistically better suited for only two. Sticking with the standard five-seater configuration is where the Disco stands out in the segment - second-row seating offers exceptional legroom, with seats that can recline and slide. The driver and front-passenger seats are also supremely comfortable, with all appointments in at least partial leather from the base model upwards. Top-end trims get Windsor leather and 12-way power adjustments. Soft-touch materials abound, but some hard plastics do make their way into the cabin, regardless. At entry-level, the SE offers ten-way powered front seats which can be heated optionally, together with the rear. Ventilation can be specified on higher-end trims only. Driver's visibility is good, and there is sufficient adjustment to achieve a decent seating position - ingress and egress are also easy for everyone, except the optional third-row passengers, who will have to be quite limber (and small) to hop in and out despite a sliding second row.

Interior Colors and Materials

The interior is quite extensively customizable, with partial leather, perforated leather, and full Windsor leather as you move up through the trim levels. Choices can be made between Ebony, Cirrus, Almond, Glacier, Vintage Tan, and Ivory, although the latter two options are exclusive to the HSE Luxury trim only. The center stack and side rails can also be specified in Satin, Glacier, Carmine Red or Dark Grey brushed aluminum, depending on various combinations available per trim level. For the most part, the cabin is beautifully appointed, although not as luxurious as some of the higher-specced Land Rover vehicles out there.

2019 Discovery Sport Trunk and Cargo Space

In terms of Cargo space, the Disco Sport does remarkably well - with 34.6 cubic feet behind the second row, and 62.8 cubes with the second row folded down, most rivals don't provide quite this much space. The Acura RDX gets close, with 31.1 cubes on offer, but both the Audi Q5 and Range Rover Evoque are at 25 and below. Naturally, these numbers are much less impressive when the third row of seating is optioned on. The cargo area can also be accessed by the optional hands-free power tailgate - which is standard on the top-end trims - to further enhance utility.

Small-item storage is average by comparison, with the basics of a glovebox, door pockets, center armrest console bin, and twin cupholders in the front and rear in place.

2019 Discovery Sport Infotainment and Features

Features

With most of the good stuff reserved for models higher up on the food chain, the entry-level model can seem a little sparse. While heated seats can be optioned on for the SE trim, only the top three models get access to the optional heating and ventilation package. Dual-zone climate control with second-row vents are standard across the lineup, while an auto-dimming rearview mirror is only fitted to the top-end trims. Ambient interior lighting is stock fitted, but is configurable on the HSE Luxury trim. All variants come equipped with cruise control and speed limiter, with the HSE, Landmark and HSE Luxury having access to adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, traffic sign recognition, and a driver condition monitor. A rearview camera and rear parking assist is, at least, included for all models, but advanced driver aids like surround-view camera, blind-spot monitoring and reverse traffic detection must be optioned on, with the former not available to the base model at all.

Infotainment

All models ship with an eight-inch touchscreen, ten-speaker Land Rover enhanced sound system, a single USB port up front and two in the back, as well as Bluetooth connectivity. A ten-inch infotainment screen can be optioned on for all models, as well as an enhanced ten-speaker Meridian sound system, which includes a subwoofer for deep bass and clear tones - this audio system comes standard on top-spec HSE Luxury trims. A premium 16-speaker Meridian surround sound system with a dual-channel woofer is also available, just not to the base model. SiriusXM and HD radio is standard for the HSE Luxury as well, and can be added on to the other trims. A basic navigation system is included on HSE and HSE Luxury trims, with the optional inclusion for the other models at cost. Wi-Fi hotspot capabilities can be had by means of package inclusion, while Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are no-cost add-ons for 2019.
