This update includes a refreshed design language, enhanced feature sets, and a simplified variant structure designed to appeal to both lifestyle-oriented and family-focused buyers. The 2025 Discovery Sport aims to retain its core identity as a versatile, premium midsize SUV while competing directly with segment rivals such as the BMW X3, Audi Q5, Mercedes-Benz GLC, and Volvo XC60.
