2023 Land Rover Discovery vs. 2023 Range Rover Sport

If you’re shopping for a new SUV that can take you anywhere you want to go, comparing the 2023 Land Rover Discovery vs. Range Rover Sport will put you on the right path. Fresh off of a comprehensive redesign, the 2023 Range Rover Sport offers a new and improved powertrain lineup that the Land Rover Discovery can’t match! On the other hand, those who need a more affordable, family friendly SUV will prefer the new Discovery.

Land Rover Discovery vs. Range Rover Sport: Performance

Hoping to pull out all the stops on the highways near Fort Lee? The 2023 Land Rover Discovery doesn’t offer as much power as the 2023 Range Rover Sport:

• Land Rover Discovery: 296-hp i4 Gas engine or 355-hp i6 MHEV powertrain
• Range Rover Sport: 355-hp i6 MHEV powertrain, 395-hp i6 MHEV powertrain, 434-hp i6 PHEV powertrain, or 523-hp V8 Gas engine

The fastest Discovery models need 6.2 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph. When equipped with the range-topping V8, the Range Rover Sport can cover the same ground in just 4.3 seconds.

If fuel economy is more important to you than raw power, the Range Rover Sport is still a great choice. That’s because it’s offered with Land Rover’s all-new P440e plug-in hybrid powertrain, which gets great gas mileage and even lets you drive on electric power alone!

Really, the Range Rover Sport is the better all-around performer. However, since the Discovery offers more than enough power for daily driving and towing, it’s still a great choice for the driver who’s shopping on a budget.

Land Rover Discovery vs. Range Rover Sport: Interior

If you’re comparing the Land Rover Discovery vs. Range Rover Sport for model-year 2023, it’s essential to keep in mind that the redesigned Range Rover Sport no longer offers an optional third row! Buyers should choose the latest Discovery if they need room for up to seven, or if they want to maximize their available cargo space. The Discovery offers up to 45 cubic feet behind the second-row seats, while the Range Rover Sport offers 32 cubic feet when all the seats are upright.

However, the Range Rover Sport is undeniably more luxurious than the Land Rover Discovery. With a larger touchscreen, more sumptuous leather upholstery, and unique features like Amazon Alexa™, the Range Rover Sport is guaranteed to please when you’re out in Ridgewood or Jersey City.

With that said, you’ll enjoy standard features like a Meridian™ audio system, Wireless Apple CarPlay™, and Wireless Android Auto™ no matter which way you decide to go! If the Discovery’s lower starting price works better for your budget, it’s still a strong choice.
