Land Rover has shelved plans for a 2WD Ingenium-powered Discovery Sport in the UK.
The company's new range of efficient diesel engines are now available to order for the Freelander replacement, although a 2WD 119g/km edition slated for launch will now not go on sale in the UK market.
A Land Rover spokesman told Fleet News: "Land Rover drivers really relish the 4WD capability of the Discovery Sport, and with emissions for this model now below 130g/km, there are no immediate plans to launch a 2WD model in this country."
The company's most economical 4WD ‘E-Capability’ 148bhp six-speed manual, five-seater SE model claims fuel economy of 57.7mpg combined and 129g/km CO2.

That's going to upset a few people in our company who were looking forward to being able to order a Land Rover, our company car and salary sacrifice schemes have a 120g/km limit
