Land Rover has teased its upcoming 2015 Discovery Sport in a video, revealing through the camouflage wrap that the new compact SUV will be available with seating for up to seven people.

The camouflage wrap on this prototype has been printed to look like it is being peeled back, showing off the two small seats fitted at the back of the new Discovery Sport, further ‘enhancing its versatility and appeal as a compact, family SUV.’

According to Land Rover Design Director Gerry McGovern, “As you would expect from a Discovery, the versatile Discovery Sport will feature optional 5+2 seating, offering spacious load space and configurable seating, while still retaining a more compact footprint than traditional 5-seat SUVs.”

No spec details have been released, however it is rumoured the SUV will be offered with a variety of petrol and diesel four-cylinder engines. In addition, styling is said to be influenced by the Discovery Vision Concept which was unveiled at the 2014 New York Auto Show and packed some innovative features, like the ability to be piloted remotely via a smart-phone app and a heads-up display that projected the terrain below the vehicle on the hood of the car.

Land Rover announced that the 2015 Discovery Sport will go on sale alongside the existing Discovery in 2015.
