Land Rover has subtly updated the 2017 Land Rover Discovery Sport. New for the 2017 Discovery Sport is a Graphite Pack which comprises a Dark Atlas colour finish to the grille, bonnet script and side vents, a Corris Grey contrast roof and Narvik Black mirror caps. The Graphite Pack is available as an option on SE and SE Tech derivatives and includes a new 19-inch wheel option. The new 2017 Discovery Sport is also available in four new body colours: Silicon Silver, Farallon Black, Carpathian Grey and Aruba metallic finishes.
Interior updates include Jaguar Land Rover’s updated InControl Touch Pro infotainment system that provides a larger 10.2-inch touchscreen with a super-wide 21:9 format. The system delivers through a 60 GB Solid State Drive (SSD), which is around 100 per cent faster than a typical hard disc drive (HDD) and is the first automotive use of Intel’s high-performance Quad-Core computing and graphics processor.
New safety systems fitted to the 2017 Discovery Sport include a Driver Condition Monitor that alerts the driver via visual and audible warnings if it detects signs of drowsiness, an Intelligent Speed Limiter that helps drivers to keep to the speed limit, a Traffic Sign Recognition feature, and Lane Keep Assist, which uses the forward-facing camera on the vehicle to detect lane markings. The premium compact SUV is manufactured at Jaguar Land Rover’s Halewood plant in the UK and is on sale now with prices starting from £31,095.
The 2017 Land Rover Discovery Sport also features the world-first integration of Tile’s advanced tracking app, which is designed to make forgotten wallets and missing bags a thing of the past. The app uses Tile tags, tiny Bluetooth trackers that can be attached to important items and used to track their whereabouts using smartphone technology. Once the app is initiated using the central touchscreen, customers are alerted if specified items are not inside the vehicle and are even able to get on-screen directions to their last known location. The Tile smartphone app is compatible with both Android and Apple platforms and the number of items that can be tracked is limitless.
