Camouflaged Discovery Sport uncovered with three rows of seats

Land Rover has dropped the biggest hint yet towards the design of Discovery Sport, with the debut of a new camouflage wrap confirming that the new compact SUV arrives as standard with 5+2 seating in the U.K.

As if 'peeling' the outer layer of the vehicle, the camouflage reveals that the Discovery Sport will have two seats in the third row, enhancing its versatility and appeal as a compact family SUV. Prototype cars sporting the new camouflage design left Halewood, U.K., where the Discovery Sport will be manufactured, to embark on final testing and development activity across several continents.

"As you would expect from a Discovery, the versatile Discovery Sport will feature 5+2 seating in the U.K., offering spacious load space and configurable seating, while still retaining a more compact footprint than traditional five-seat SUVs," said Gerry McGovern, Design Director and Chief Creative Officer for Land Rover.

The New Discovery Sport compact SUV complements the existing Discovery and will go on sale in 2015.
