The China-made Discovery Sport is the same inside-out as the U.K. variant, nothing is stretched or extra big in any other way. Lone engine is the Ford-sourced 2.0 turbo ‘EcoBoost’ with 240 horses. This engine is set to be replaced by a newly developed JLR engine in the near future, but when exactly is unclear. Earlier on we also saw photos of a Chery engine in a Freelander, but it seems that project hasn’t made much progress yet. The Discovery Sport is the successor of the Freelander 2.
