The Land Rover Discovery Sport is a premium compact SUV that was released in 2015 as a more practical replacement for the Freelander 2. It is a little smaller than the Land Rover Discovery and brings a little more of a luxurious feel that will surely turn heads on the road.
This SUV is a seven-seater but Land Rover does refer to it as a five plus two. This is because while it has seven seats the two furthest to the back don’t offer too much space. On long journeys adults may not be quite so comfortable, children however would be perfectly fine. It is still worth pointing out that the Disco Sport has a far more compact appearance so the smaller two seats isn’t too bad at all.
The good news is that not only is it smaller than the standard Discovery but also cheaper too. Popular car review websites such as Honest John gave this SUV the “Most Popular SUV” award. Truly a credit to Land Rover’s commitment to excellence.
But what if you are not looking to carry seven people but transport a large load instead? No problems here either. Both rows of seats fold down to create an entirely flat loading surface. Of course, it is possible to adjust partial parts of this to suit varying storage needs. No matter if you are just looking to carry the groceries or everything you need for a weekend away, the Discovery Sport has you covered.
There are a wide range of models available to suit all needs. With urban, r-dynamic, black, and the range-topping HSE variants to choose from. If you have the budget to get the HSE model you’ll enjoy a glass roof, heated seats, heated steering wheel, sat-nav, and a reversing camera. This Land Rover also comes in a wide range of petrol and diesel engines. Each delivering solid performance and decent fuel economy considering the style of vehicle this is.
There is no shortage of reasons to upgrade your life with a Discovery Sport. Here are the top few reasons that we recommend this compact SUV.
The first reason that pops to mind about why you would want a Discovery is its sleek, modern appearance, especially if you go for the sportier r-dynamic trim.
Inside the Discovery Sport brings near class-leading styling. Sitting in the driver's seat it is not difficult to feel the smooth premium vibe that extrudes from every direction. The dashboard has been clearly laid out with a touch screen in the centre that has been innovatively laid out for ease of use.
The way the cabin has been constructed also ensures you have solid all-around visibility thanks to a range of parking aids.
As with any Land Rover off-roading what it has been made for. Challenging trails or muddy roads will be no problem at all for this premium compact SUV. Don’t worry if you’ll be spending more time in the city. The Discovery Sport also performs well in those environments.
Since this Land Rover has been out on the market for many years there is a great market for used Land Rovers to choose from. To pick up a decent second hand Discovery Sport you can expect to pay anywhere in the region of £15,000 to £18,000. This can of course be a lot more depending on the age, mileage, and other factors with specific models.
