SAFETY
5* EURO NCAP RATING
PASSENGER SEAT BELT CHECK SYSTEM
As with every Land Rover, safety was a key priority in the development of Discovery Sport, resulting in a first-in-class pedestrian airbag, Autonomous Emergency Braking, and a stateof-the-art bodyshell featuring both ultra-high-strength steel and lightweight aluminium. Discovery Sport has been awarded the maximum five star safety rating from Euro NCAP*. In all variants, including 5 + 2 seat models, all seating positions are assessed to ensure a high standard of occupant protection. Discovery Sport also has a comprehensive occupant safety package including driver and passenger airbags, driver knee airbag, and side curtain and thorax airbags.
PEDESTRIAN PROTECTION SYSTEM** Discovery Sport features a state-of-the-art Pedestrian Airbag System. Designed and tested to the most rigorous standards including advanced virtual and real-world situations, it protects pedestrians from impact with the base of the windscreen by using an airbag mounted within a cover found at the trailing edge of the bonnet panel.

DRIVER VISIBILITY
The system uses advanced pressure-tube sensors, located in the bumper, to detect impact.
The shape of the deployed airbag offers enhanced protection to a pedestrian in the event of an impact.
The airbag deployment has been designed to ensure that the effect on the driver’s vision is minimised.
