Supplied Credit: CarExpertAutocar suggests the smaller SUV could be named ‘Defender Sport’, which would be consistent with the names of the smaller Range Rover Sport and Discovery Sport models, and that it could actually replace the current Discovery Sport first introduced back in 2014. Any naming decision would also be consistent with the latest ‘House of brands’ approach by JLR (formerly known as Jaguar Land Rover), in which model names including Defender and Discovery are ‘dialled up’ and treated as unique sub-brands within Land Rover. According to Autocar, the Defender Sport name was inadvertently added to Land Rover’s public website but visible only via internet search engines.
