It’s more about the ‘baby’ Discovery, even smaller than the Sport, competing with likes of Audi q3, BMWX1 etc.
Although I reckon it’s nearly time for a facelift on the current full fat 5!

This is supported by the new Defender now fitting in the Discovery 3/4 place!

With their low volume there wasn’t much (= any) money to be made in the ute market anyway....

““Discovery sits in that world of versatility. These are the current vehicles, [there is] more to come. For me two doesn’t make a family," McGovern said.
"With Defender coming it gives us an opportunity to maybe re-think what the world of Discovery can be in the future."”
God help us; Jerri now feels unconstrained, so it could conceivably get even worse from here. 2011 - 2015: 3 x FL2
2015 - 2017: 2 x D4
2017 to date: FFRR SDV8
2023 to date: 2 x FL2 as “second” cars 🙄
2021 to date: Hinckley built ‘14 Triumph Trophy 1200
2022 to date: Hinckley built ‘14 Triumph Trophy 1200 & sidecar!
(One of only two known to exist in the world!)

A small Discovery? A bit like a Discovery-cued Evoque then. Seems a bit redundant to add another small LR in competition with an existing small LR, but I'm sure they know what they're doing (he says, sarcastically).Visiting from rrsport.co.uk

2008 RRS TDV8
