Are the Discovery and the Discovery Sport the same car?
1 Answers
The Discovery and the Discovery Sport are not the same car. The differences between the Discovery and the Discovery Sport are as follows: Differences in the four-wheel drive system: The four-wheel drive systems of the Discovery Sport and the Discovery are different. The Discovery Sport, which shares the same platform, continues the difference in the rear axle RDU unit structure. Simply put, the Discovery model can actively distribute power between the left and right rear wheels, while the RDU of the Discovery Sport does not have this capability. Therefore, theoretically, the Discovery model has stronger off-road capabilities. (Some domestic versions can also be equipped with this more powerful four-wheel drive system as an option.) Differences in configuration: Although the differences between the Discovery and the Discovery Sport are not significant, there are still some differences in configuration, with the imported versions of the same model having higher configurations. Despite having a wheelbase of only 2741mm, the Discovery Sport still offers a third row with two seats. At the same time, the second-row seats can move forward and backward by 160mm, making it easier for passengers to access the third row. The third-row seats in the HSE Luxury imported version are optional, while they are standard in the domestic version.
