Land Rover Discovery Sport Review

While the full-size Land Rover Discovery is as capable off road as it is comfortable and practical on it, it's always been an expensive choice. However, this smaller Land Rover Discovery Sport is designed to bring similar qualities to a wider audience.

A replacement for the Freelander, which was discontinued in 2014, it's based on the Range Rover Evoque, but is much more family friendly.

All versions have a 2.0-litre diesel engine and four-wheel drive, and most buyers will specify the seven-seat interior rather than the cheaper five-seat layout.

In terms of pricing, the Discovery Sport competes with the five-seat only Audi Q5 and BMW X3. However, there are no similarly priced, premium-badged seven-seater rivals, and that gives the Land Rover unique appeal.

True, you can get a bigger car with more equipment for similar money, but that'll mean going for something more mainstream, such as the Kia Sorento or Nissan X-Trail.

Read on for everything you need to know before buying a Discovery Sport, including which version to go for.
