    That camouflage they used really did its job this time around.  Under wraps I wasn’t liking it as much, now with the details it’s practically a different vehicle.  Enjoy this way too long post. 

    Official US PR follows the images – plenty of customization options and all the new tech is talked about, 3D city models for the GPS, Autonomous Emergency Braking, up to six USB ports, etc… And as with every new Land Rover there is of course a Black Pack.

    Fraternal Twins: Jaguar XE & Land Rover Discovery Sport look to be the first JLR vehicles designed and built with Jaguar Land Rover’s Next-Generation Interface (NGI), now called InControl Touch Infotainment system.  With that system and the InControl app, we might actually see official Remote Start in a Land Rover.

    We got the first glimpses of it in the Jaguar XE Connected Car preview:

    And then some more of the hard buttons in the Discovery Sport interior teaser:
