. It may not have looked all that different than the model that it replaced, but underneath its shapely sheet metal sat an all-new platform that it shared with the equally new Evoque. Four full years later and it’s due for another update, this time focused mainly on the interior.
Directly in front of the driver sits a fully digital gauge cluster. More interesting, though, is the curved-glass touchscreen mounted in the center of the dash atop a sleek, modern console. Measuring 11.4 inches, the infotainment system now runs Land Rover’s latest Pivi Pro 2 software, which we found to be a massive improvement over the old-tech system. Android Auto and wireless Apple CarPlay come standard, as does Amazon Alexa voice control. Wireless device charging in the console is also standard.

The 2024 Land Rover Discovery Sport starts at $50,075, including destination.
