Land Rover Discovery Sport 2.0 D165 S 5dr Auto [5 Seat] Review

Section: Version review

The model
Read full reviewThe Discovery Sport, especially in seven-seat form, is far more practical and family-friendly than rivals such as the Audi Q5 and BMW X3, which is why it's one of our favourite large SUVs. Those German alternatives are ultimately more comfortable, nimbler and fuel-efficient, though, while you can get even more space for less with the excellent Peugeot 5008.

It's our favourite version.
