Luxury experiences redefine what’s possible in Newport,
Listen to audio Luxury is in the eye of the beholder. One person's decadent hot spring soak may be another person's rigorous off-road riding. The challenge for meeting professionals is to determine the appropriate amount of "me time" as well as surprise and delight, and be confident that their needs will be met so that they can focus on what is being presented.

The redesigned model may borrow design cues from minivans like the Volkswagen ID.Buzz. This suggests that the Discovery Sport may become more of a family car than an off-road vehicle. Luxury SUVs are a hot commodity, but the Land Rover Discovery has faded from the limelight. While sales of the model were approaching 10,000 per year in the U.S. before the pandemic, the brand sold just 2,416 last year. That's disappointing, as the model was easily beaten by the Lexus GX, which sold 4,256 units. Of course, that was partly thanks to the Defender, which stole some sales from the Discovery.
