49.36 lakh (ex-showroom, India) A brand new engine in the discovery sport adds a whole lot of refinement.
Land Rover has steadily offered some sort of an update with each passing year since the Discovery Sport was launched. We got a chance to sample the turbocharged 2.0-litre petrol last year and that was entertaining too. But this time around, it is a new diesel motor that gets the Discovery Sport to these pages. Land Rover has chosen to bin the older 2.2-litre unit for a slightly smaller 2.0-litre motor. Apart from being lighter, this new all-aluminium unit is far more refined. In fact, it becomes evident from the minute you push the starter button. Noise and vibration levels are far less and the engine settles into a smooth idle. This new motor belongs to the ‘Ingenium’ series of engines, which, apart from being lighter, are also more efficient than the older ones.
