Why Buy a Used Land Rover Discovery Sport from Vertu?
The used Land Rover Discovery Sport is one of Britain's most capable Land Rover SUV options - versatile, practical, and genuinely capable off the road. It seats up to seven, goes anywhere, and arrives with the kind of technology that makes long journeys feel short.
At Vertu, every used Land Rover Discovery Sport car we sell has been professionally prepared and checked. Our colleagues know every trim and powertrain in the range. Tell us how you use a car - school run, long motorway miles, weekend towing - and we'll point you straight to the right one.
Used Land Rover Discovery Sport Trims and Specifications
The current Discovery Sport range runs across three trims: Dynamic S, Landmark, and Metropolitan. All share the same 4,597mm body and 2,741mm wheelbase. The differences lie in equipment, finish, and available powertrains.
Dynamic S is a strong starting point. You get the Pivi Pro 11.4-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, heated front seats, Terrain Response 2, and automatic headlights as standard.
Landmark steps up with adaptive cruise control, a 3D surround camera, the Meridian� sound system (14 speakers, 650W), a black contrast roof, and a panoramic roof. It also adds a powered tailgate and an Interactive Driver Display.
Metropolitan is the range-topper. Expect Windsor leather upholstery, cooled front seats, a heated steering wheel, blind spot assist, rear traffic monitor, and a head-up display.
Searching for an older model? Pre-facelift Land Rover Discovery Sport models from 2015 and 2016 - including the Discovery Sport SE and the popular Discovery Sport HSE 2016 - appear regularly in our used stock and offer strong value alongside the current trim range.

Used Land Rover Discovery Sport Engines and Performance
The Discovery Sport offers two powertrain families: a mild hybrid diesel (MHEV) and a plug-in hybrid petrol (PHEV). The Land Rover Discovery Sport diesel variants use a seven-speed automatic gearbox and permanent all-wheel drive. So does the PHEV.
The D165 MHEV delivers 163HP and gets from 0-60 in 9.5 seconds. Real-world economy starts from 42.7mpg. The D200 MHEV steps things up to 204HP, reaching 0-60 in 8.1 seconds and returning from 41.7mpg. Both diesel MHEV variants are strong performers on Land Rover Discovery Sport mpg - from 41.7mpg on the WLTP cycle.
The P270e PHEV pairs a 1.5-litre three-cylinder petrol with a 105kW electric motor. Combined output reaches 269HP, with 0-60 in 7.0 seconds and a top speed of 118mph. WLTP electric range reaches up to 37.3 miles EAER on Dynamic S trim. CO₂ output starts from 33g/km on Dynamic S, rising to 35g/km on Landmark and Metropolitan.
For most daily commutes, the P270e runs on electricity alone. The petrol engine takes over on longer runs - no range anxiety, no compromise.

Used Discovery Sport stock at Vertu spans a wider range of engines and trim designations than the current new-car lineup. Pre-facelift and transitional models appear regularly and represent strong value. Common used-market variants include the D150 SE, D180 SE, D180 R-Dynamic, D200 Dynamic HSE, D200 R-Dynamic S, D200 Urban Edition, and the TD4 180 Landmark. The PHEV range is represented by older P270e Dynamic SE stock alongside the newer P300e Dynamic HSE and P300e Urban Edition. The higher-output P250 R-Dynamic HSE rounds out the petrol mild-hybrid options. All used Discovery Sports sold by Vertu are professionally prepared and checked before going on sale - engine generation doesn't affect that standard.
Practicality and Space
The Discovery Sport is a genuine 7-seater - 7 seats across a practical, well-packaged interior. The third row folds flat into the floor when not needed and deploys quickly when you need it. It comfortably seats children and works well for adults on shorter journeys. Second-row seats on Landmark and Metropolitan models slide and recline, so you can balance legroom between rows two and three.
Land Rover Discovery Sport boot space is 780 litres with all seats in use. Drop the rear rows and that opens to 1,574 litres - identical across all trims and powertrains.
Discovery Sport towing capacity varies by powertrain. The D165 MHEV tows up to 2,200kg braked. The D200 MHEV tows up to 2,500kg braked. The P270e PHEV tows up to 1,600kg braked.
With Land Rover Discovery Sport ground clearance of 172mm and 600mm of wading depth, the Discovery Sport goes where most family SUVs won't. Approach angle is 22.3� and departure angle is 28.3�.

Key Features and Technology
The Land Rover Discovery Sport interior is built around usability. Every surface and control has a clear purpose - and the technology backs that up.
Every Discovery Sport comes with Land Rover's Pivi Pro infotainment system. The 11.4-inch curved touchscreen is fast, clear, and immediately intuitive.
Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connect your phone without a cable. The Remote Online Pack adds a live data connection for real-time traffic and software updates over the air.
Landmark and Metropolitan models include the Meridian� sound system - 14 speakers, 650W, and the kind of output that fills a large SUV cabin properly.
Off the road, Terrain Response 2 adapts the drivetrain, throttle, and stability systems to suit the surface. The Auto mode reads conditions and selects the right profile automatically. All-terrain progress control and hill descent control come as standard across the range.
Inside, dual-zone climate control, wireless charging, and ambient lighting take care of themselves. USB-C ports serve every row.

Who Is the Used Land Rover Discovery Sport Best For?
The Discovery Sport rewards customers with high demands.
Active families get seven seats, a large boot, and genuine off-road ability for adventures that don't stop at the end of the tarmac. Caravan owners benefit from towing capability, tow assist, and the stability systems to handle the load. Eco-conscious commuters can rely on the P270e PHEV, which covers up to 37.3 miles on electric power alone - enough for most daily commutes without touching the petrol engine.

Used Land Rover Discovery Sport Colours
The Discovery Sport range covers a strong palette of exterior colours. Fuji White is the most popular choice - clean, versatile, and widely available on used stock. Santorini Black suits the contrast roof on Landmark and Metropolitan models, creating a two-tone effect that's become synonymous with the model. Carpathian Grey is a popular premium option - darker than silver, more distinctive than black. Varesine Blue and Ostuni Pearl White appear less frequently on used stock but are worth specifying if personalisation matters.

Used Land Rover Discovery Sport FAQs
What should I know about the Land Rover Discovery Sport's reliability?
The L550 Discovery Sport has been on sale since 2014. The 2019 facelift brought the Ingenium engine family with mild hybrid assistance on diesel variants and a fully re-engineered PHEV system. It's a well-proven powertrain combination. Land Rover Discovery Sport reliability has strengthened notably with this generation, and every used Discovery Sport sold by Vertu has been professionally prepared and checked before going on sale. Based on properly maintained examples, the current generation is one of the more dependable choices in the used premium SUV segment. Common Discovery Sport problems reported in older generations - such as infotainment lag and suspension wear - were substantially addressed with the 2019 facelift and MHEV updates.
What is the maximum towing capacity of the Land Rover Discovery Sport?
Towing capacity varies by powertrain. The D165 MHEV tows up to 2,200kg braked. The D200 MHEV steps that up to 2,500kg braked - enough for most caravans and twin-axle trailers. The P270e PHEV tows up to 1,600kg braked. Tow assist (where fitted) makes reversing with a trailer straightforward, with the steering wheel controlling trailer direction on screen.
How does Terrain Response help off-road in the Discovery Sport?
Terrain Response 2 adjusts the throttle response, gearbox behaviour, and stability control to suit the surface you're on. Select Grass/Gravel/Snow, Mud/Ruts, or Sand manually, or choose Auto to let the system read conditions itself. All-terrain progress control handles low-speed off-road crawling without any throttle input needed.
Can I buy a used Land Rover Discovery Sport on PCP finance?
Yes. Vertu offers Personal Contract Purchase on our used stock, including used Discovery Sports. Buying a Land Rover on PCP keeps monthly payments predictable and gives you options at the end of the term. Speak to your nearest Vertu Land Rover dealership for a personalised quote.
What is Land Rover Approved Used and does it cover the Discovery Sport?
Approved used Land Rover is Land Rover's own quality-assured used vehicle programme. Discovery Sport models that meet the eligibility criteria - typically up to a defined age and mileage - qualify for the programme. Each car passes a multi-point inspection and comes with a minimum 12-month warranty. Buying through Vertu adds a 14-day money-back guarantee and free home delivery up to 30 miles. Ask our colleagues to confirm which vehicles in our current stock are Approved Used certified.
Is the Land Rover Discovery Sport a 7-seater?
Yes. The Land Rover Discovery Sport 7 seater configuration is available across all three current trims - Dynamic S, Landmark, and Metropolitan.
The third row folds flat into the floor when not needed, opening up 1,574 litres of boot space. When deployed, it's well suited to children and shorter adult journeys. The second-row seats on Landmark and Metropolitan models slide and recline, so you can balance legroom between rows two and three to suit whoever's on board.
If versatile seating and a flexible interior are priorities - alongside the practicality of a genuine compact family car - the Discovery Sport delivers both without asking you to choose between passenger space and luggage room. Browse our Land Rover Discovery Sport 7 seater for sale stock online, or visit your nearest Vertu dealership to see one in person.
How do software updates work on the Discovery Sport infotainment?
Pivi Pro vehicles receive over-the-air (OTA) updates automatically via the built-in data connection. Updates install in the background and apply at a convenient time, so the system stays current without a workshop visit.
Are heated seats standard on the Land Rover Discovery Sport?
Heated front seats are standard across all three trims - Dynamic S, Landmark, and Metropolitan. The Metropolitan also adds cooled front seats and a heated steering wheel.
What are the running costs for a used Land Rover Discovery Sport?
Diesel MHEV variants return from 42.7mpg on the official WLTP cycle. The P270e PHEV returns up to 190.4mpg on the official WLTP cycle for those who charge regularly. Insurance groups vary by trim and model year - confirm with your insurer for the specific car. Annual VED (road tax) varies by the specific model year and emissions rating of the vehicle.
Does the Land Rover Discovery Sport have Apple CarPlay and Android Auto?
Yes. All current Discovery Sport trims include wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto through the Pivi Pro system as standard. Earlier models with InControl Touch Pro may require a software update or hardware retrofit - our colleagues can confirm compatibility for any specific car.
