Information on repair and maintenance of Land Rover Discovery cars electronically
The Land Rover Discovery Sport (production code L550) is a compact SUV developed and manufactured by the British automaker Land Rover. Its 7-seater model was presented in October 2014 at the Paris Motor Show. This vehicle is positioned slightly below the Land Rover Discovery in the market and also replaces the previous Land Rover Freelander. The design of the Discovery Sport is reminiscent of the Land Rover Discovery Vision Concept, which served as the prototype for the fifth generation of the Land Rover Discovery.
The car's design is based on the Land Rover Discovery Vision concept shown at the 2014 New York International Auto Show. Gerry McGovern was responsible for the design of the Discovery Sport. The British designer also designed the Range Rover Evoque. The car is a road SUV with optimized driving characteristics.
The car is built on the Land Rover LR-MS platform, a highly modified version of the Ford-EUCD platform. Land Rover belonged to the Ford group until March 2008, and is now part of the Indian manufacturer Tata Motors. A five- or seven-seat version is available.
In the first year of production, the Land Rover Discovery Sport was equipped with the same engines as the second generation Land Rover Freelander. These are the four-cylinder 2.0-litre Ford EcoBoost turbocharged petrol engine with 176 kW (240 hp) and the four-cylinder 2.2-litre Ford Duratorq turbocharged diesel engine with 110 kW (150 hp) and 140 kW ( 190 hp) respectively. The first engine is offered in the USA, the second in Europe.

From August 2015, Jaguar Land Rover's Ingenium engines will replace Ford engines. The Ingenium engine family are turbocharged four-cylinder engines. The engines are mounted transversely, creating additional interior space.
This model is equipped with a 9-speed ZF automatic transmission or a 6-speed Getrag manual transmission. Both options are also available for the Range Rover Evoque. The car doesn't have low-range gearing for off-road driving, but like the Land Rover Freelander it does have Terrain Response. The driver can select a driving program depending on the surface on which he is driving. In addition, a version without all-wheel drive is also available.
The steering knuckles, like the lower wishbones, were made from thin-walled hollow cast aluminum. Small spring domes on the rear axle allow the installation of a 5+2 seating system, in which the third row of seats can be recessed almost flush with the floor of the car.
Thanks to Adaptive Dynamics Chassis Control, Discovery Sport features MagneRideTM dampers, which allow the vehicle's damping to be individually adjusted. The damping fluid contains magnetic particles and is exposed to a magnetic field, causing the viscosity to decrease or increase. This way the damping can be adjusted stronger or softer as needed.
In May 2019, an updated version of the Land Rover Discovery Sport was introduced. As part of the restyling, this SUV was transferred to the PTA (Premium Transverse Architecture) platform developed by JLR. This platform is the result of the concern's own technological developments.
Its petrol engines are a 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine with 200, 249 or 290 PS options, and a hybrid that combines a 1.5-litre three-cylinder engine with an electric motor producing a total of 309 PS . Meanwhile, the diesel comes in the form of a 2.0-litre engine in 163bhp and 204bhp versions. Regular engines have a six-speed manual or nine-speed automatic transmission, while the hybrid has an eight-speed automatic transmission.
