Revised 2024 Range Rover Discovery Sport bows with little exterior changes.


The Land Rover Discover Sport crossover SUV has been refreshed in it latest 2024 model year guise. Leading the bill of changes are bevy of tech upgrades plus a sleeker new cabin design to present them too.

Headlining the changes is a fully revised dashboard design that sees Land Rover favouring touchscreens and touch-controls over physical buttons. In fact, the dash now sports a similar 11.4-inch curved touchscreen setup as seen in the Range Rover L460.

Basically, the outgoing Discovery Sport’s haptic climate control panel in the lower dash has been removed, which also free up a new cavernous storage bin primed with a wireless smartphone charging pad too. All core functions are now hosted through the screens mentioned that run on JLR’s latest Pivi Pro interface.

Included in said interface are 'permanently accessible' sidebars that ensure access to commonly used functions – as well as media, navigation and volume settings – is still easy even when driving. JLR even touts that users can access "up to 90% of tasks within two taps from the home screen".

New too is the fully digital instrument display panel.


Amazon Alexa voice control, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity are standard-equipped now too "for the ultimate connectivity", says JLR. Also, the instrument display cluster is now digital across the entire Discovery Sport line-up.

Whilst on the revised cabin still, it’s also worth noting the addition of two new USB-C charging ports in the middle and front rows. Variants featuring 7-seats across three rows also benefit with separate climate control function for passengers seated in the third-row.

A series of new paint hues is perhaps the biggest exterior change to note in the 2024MY version.


Powertrain remains largely unchanged, though the P300e plug-in hybrid (PHEV) variant gets revised battery chemistry. JLR claims this boosts the electrified crossover’s real-world electric only driving range up to about 47 KM which, according to JLR, covers 90% of daily driving with the combustion engine off.

Additionally, this PHEV variant’s electrified setup also accepts DC fast-charging inputs now, thus allowing the 14.9 kWh battery pack with sub-30 minute 0-80% recharge times. Beyond this, it’s also worth noting all 4-cyl diesel and petrol options now feature a 48-volt mild-hybrid (MHEV) systems too.

Though JLR have begun taking orders for this refreshed Discovery Sport in its UK home market, it remains unclear as to when deliveries will commence. The automaker is reportedly hampered by the global chip shortage still, which has prompted it to focus on outputting its profitable products first.

Production of this refreshed Discovery Sport, as well as its mainstream siblings – Range Rover Evoque, Jaguar XE, XF and E-Pace – will scale up once JLR get “confidence of supply”. This also means output for these models will be limited over the next few months still.
