How does the Discovery Sports size compare to Discovery’s such as 4?
I’ve been watching Undercover TV Show on Netflix and one of the main characters drives a Land Rover Discovery Sport while another main character drives a Range Rover (looks like a full size L405 variant). What I noticed is that the Discovery Sport looks very reasonably sized, larger than I expected in comparison. Assuming it is the replacement for the Freelander I expected it to be more compact in size.
Reading about the specs of the Discovery Sport I found out it’s 7 seater and shares some of the engines with the Discovery 5 which has me wondering how does it physically compare size wise to its larger brother? Particularly the Discovery 4 range which, having recently become an owner of, is much spacier inside than the old Discovery 1 and 2’s?
Looking at the external dimensions it seems to be fairly close sizewise to a Discovery 2:
Length x width x height x wheel base (mm)
Discovery Sport - 4,599 x 2,069 x 1,724 x 2,741
Discovery 2 - 4,630 x 1,885 x 1,928 x 2,745
Discovery 3/4 - 4,838 x 2,176 x 1,887 x 2,885
Boot space:
Discovery Sport - 981L min - 1,698L max
Discovery 2 - 1,147L (the extra vehicle height might assist here?)
Discovery 3/4 - 1,260L
I’ve Googled and read a bunch of reviews on the Discovery Sport but none have compared it with a Discovery 4 (or even 5) in terms of sizing. Anyone here owned an earlier Discovery 1, 2, 3 or 4 before their Discovery Sport and able to share their thoughts and opinions on the interior room between them?
