Land Rover announced that it is discontinuing the Discovery Sport at the end of this year, but fret not, fans of smaller, softened versions of off-road-y Land Rovers. We already know the company is preparing a new Defender Sport model to effectively take its place. Discovery Sport production is winding down this December, "in line with normal product lifecycles," as a Land Rover spokesperson told Autocar. "As part of this transition, there will be a managed sunset of manufacturing ahead of this date for certain markets." Positioned as a spiritual replacement for the old LR2, the Land Rover Discovery Sport dropped all the way back in 2014, which sounds like a lifetime ago, and is one of those cars that I feel like most people frankly forgot existed.
