Compact luxury with room to roam

Drive a Discovery Sport

The Discovery Sport is the smallest and least expensive SUV in the lineup, making it the compact way into a Land Rover rental. It's sized for city streets, with a high seating position and a quiet, smooth ride. Under the hood, a 246-hp turbo four pairs with standard all-wheel drive.

Turo is a car rental marketplace, so your Discovery Sport SUV rental comes from a local vehicle owner instead of a traditional rental company. You book the exact SUV you see in the listing — trim, color, and all. Then you choose pickup or delivery to fit your plans.

Discovery Sport specs

Horsepower

246 hp

Acceleration

0-60 mph in 7.3 sec

Weight

~4,035 lbs

Seats

5 (7 optional)

Turbocharged power with all-wheel-drive poise

The Discovery Sport pairs a 2.0L turbocharged inline-four with standard all-wheel drive, so you get steady power when the weather shifts. It makes 246 hp and 269 lb-ft of torque through a nine-speed automatic. That's plenty of punch for confident highway merges — and the all-wheel drive keeps you composed when rain rolls in.

Flexible seating and cargo

Five seats come standard, and an optional third row brings capacity to seven. That's rare for a compact SUV, though the third row works best for kids or short hops across town. Check the listing if you need all seven seats, since not every Discovery Sport has one.

Cargo space flexes with your plans, too. You get 26.6 cu ft behind the second row for weekend bags, groceries, or a cooler. Fold the rear seats and that grows to 63.3 cu ft — a smart setup when your passenger count and packing list keep changing.

Curved touchscreen tech

An 11.4-inch curved touchscreen runs the Discovery Sport's cabin tech. It supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus built-in navigation, so your maps and playlists show up without a cable.

Climate controls live on the touchscreen, too, which keeps the dash clean but takes a minute to learn. Here's the move: set the temperature before you pull away, then keep your eyes on the road. Pair your phone while you're still parked, and you'll be ready the moment you shift into drive.

Stand out with a Discovery Sport

The Discovery Sport shines on airport runs, weekend getaways, small-family outings, and city drives where you want British luxury in a manageable footprint. It can tow up to 4,409 lbs — enough for a small trailer. Compare sizes and styles across every SUV rental on Turo to find your fit.

Top Discovery Sport features

Landmark Edition styling

Three details set the Discovery Sport apart: Landmark Edition styling, British heritage, and a decade of refinement.

Every 2026 Discovery Sport is a Landmark Edition, so the sharpest look comes standard. You get a gloss black contrast roof and 19-inch wheels that give the compact frame a planted, polished stance.

Look closer and you'll spot a mountain-range logo, a detail first seen on the original 1989 Discovery. It's a subtle nod to the nameplate's roots that most people won't notice — but you will. Earlier model years may wear different trims, so check the listing for the exact Discovery Sport you're booking.

Built in England

The Discovery Sport goes through final assembly in England, and its nameplate dates back to 1989. That lineage shapes the design, pairing a confident stance with a cabin that feels tailored and timeless.

You get British design heritage in a size that's easier to park downtown and simpler to thread through busy streets. The Sport carries the Discovery name into a compact package built for everyday driving. It's a story you'll notice every time you walk back to the curb.

Refreshed for modern drivers

The Discovery Sport launched for model year 2015 and got a significant refresh for 2024. That update made the curved touchscreen standard, bringing the cabin tech up to speed with today's drivers.

On pavement, the ride stays quiet and smooth, so long highway stretches feel relaxed and you can talk with passengers at an easy volume. A decade of updates means you're driving a model that's had time to get the details right. That standard curved touchscreen is the proof, and you'll use it every time you adjust the climate.

Top tips and things to know before renting a Discovery Sport

Get to know your Discovery Sport

A few quick checks before you book make your Discovery Sport trip easier — seating, fuel, tech, and price.

Five seats come standard, and some Discovery Sport rentals add a third row for seven. Check the listing if you need every seat, since the third row is optional. If you want more space or a step up in luxury, compare it with a Land Rover Range Rover rental, the flagship.

Discovery Sport driving tips

The Discovery Sport runs on a 2.0L turbo four rated at 20 mpg combined, so plan gas stops on longer drives. A few more tips help you settle in fast:

Set the cabin temperature on the touchscreen before you pull away.
Pair your phone wirelessly while you're still parked.
Fold the rear seats when you're hauling bulky luggage.

How much does it cost to rent a Discovery Sport?

Discovery Sport rental prices vary by location, dates, trim, and year. Each local vehicle owner sets their own price, so compare listings near you to find the right fit.

Longer trips can lower your daily cost. Trip-length discounts apply automatically on three-day, weekly, and monthly trips. You can also get a 10% non-refundable discount when you book four or more days ahead. For a month or more behind the wheel, explore long-term car rental on Turo.

  1. * Any personal insurance you may have that covers damage to the host’s vehicle would kick in before your protection plan, except in limited situations for trips booked in Maryland, but this protects your own wallet. In the US, liability insurance is provided under a policy issued to Turo by Travelers Excess and Surplus Lines Company. Terms, conditions, and exclusions apply. The policy does not provide coverage for damage to a host’s vehicle.

  2. For questions or information about the third party liability insurance for trips in the US, consumers in Maryland and the licensed states listed here may contact Turo Insurance Agency at (415) 508-0283 or claims@turo.agency. For questions about how damage to a host’s vehicle is handled, visit the Turo Support site. When a trip is booked in the state of Washington, physical damage to the host’s vehicle is covered by insurance purchased by Turo, but the Turo insurance does not change the contractual responsibilities of hosts or guests with respect to physical damage to a host’s vehicle.
