路虎发现运动版是在2014年9月发布，2015年初上市的。发现运动版当然算不上一辆很老的车型，特别是最近两年该车已经进行了多项升级，因此当谍照记者最近拍到了其下一代车型时感到很吃惊。从曝光的照片上来看，新一代路虎发现神行的测试车与普通版车型并没有太大的差异，不过一些细节还是呈现出了其不一样的地方。首先，油箱盖的位置从原来的左侧变到了右侧，而且油箱盖的形状也变得更加的怪异。其次，排气管的布置也有了明显的差异，形成了单边双出的布局。而且在测试车后桥上方也出现了辅助的连接支架。从这些细节可以判断，这辆测试车的平台尺寸和悬挂结构都将有所变化。而且新车也不排除增加插电式混合动力系统的可能性。按照目前测试车的状态来看，新一代路虎发现神行将有望在2021年左右正式登场。在此之前，还应该会有小改款的车型出现，或许改款车将于2018年底发布，2019年初上市。2018款车型在美国起价37795美元（约合人民币24.94万元），该车只提供了2.0升四缸涡轮增压汽油引擎，有高低功率两种版本，分别是177千瓦/237马力和213千瓦/286马力。

Land Rover Caught Already Working On Next-Gen Discovery Sport

The Land Rover Discovery Sport was launched on the market in the first weeks of 2015, following a global premiere in September 2014. It’s definitely not an old model, especially given the number of improvements it received over the years, so we are quite surprised to see the British manufacturer is already working on its successor.

Before you say this is not a mule for the next generation model, take a closer look at some of the details. For example, the fuel cap is apparently going to be relocated, hence its weird shape and size on this prototype. Also, there’s something funny going on with the exhaust system, suggesting this is a very early mule of a new platform, still wearing the body of the current model.

At this point, it’s quite difficult to say what changes we will see on the next-gen Disco Sport, but we won’t rule out slightly increased dimensions and a redesigned suspension. Naturally, the new architecture will possibly bring some new powertrains and we won't be too surprised if the model receives some kind of electrification. According to preliminary details, we won’t see the new Disco Sport before the end of the decade, so most likely it will debut in 2021. But before that, we expect to see a slightly revised version of the current Discovery Sport, probably in the end of 2018 with sales starting in early 2019.

The 2018 model year has a starting price of $37,795 in the United States and is offered exclusively with a four-cylinder, 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline engine from the Ingenium family in two power stages – 237 horsepower (177 kilowatts) and 286 hp (213 kW).
