Powering the 2017 Land Rover Discovery Sport is a turbocharged, 2.0-litre, 240-horsepower four cylinder mated to a nine-speed automatic transmission. The second and third seats can be folded down (albeit not completely flat for the 2nd row) for enough added cargo space to satisfy anyone. There are air vents at face level for every section of the vehicle as well as USB charging ports. The second row offers sliding and reclining seats which is always a nice feature to have. Other than that, I found the interior to be quite pampering with a quality build to it reminiscent of more expensive models. The start button is small and hiding up behind the steering wheel which I find to be an odd location. In fact, the Bluetooth connectivity was solid and didn’t give me any problems, unlike some other manufacturers where connectivity to audio streaming can be difficult to regain after a call or even just by turning the vehicle off. It’s fairly easy to use and I had no issues with it. Land Rover has a new and improved infotainment system controlled by a 10-inch touchscreen. It’s tight as heck for adults, but great for the children. The Discovery Sport actually offers a three-row seating option unlike the others just mentioned. The Discovery Sport (or Disco Sport as we like to call it) is a compact SUV designed to compete with the likes of the BMW X3, Audi Q5 and Mercedes-Benz GLC, among many others.

I truly dislike the strategy of using Sport and non-Sport monikers for completely different cars. The Discovery Sport shouldn’t be confused with the Land Rover Discovery-a larger SUV which recently replaced the LR4. Despite that, sales remained consistent until the end, which meant Land Rover had a successful formula with this vehicle. I characterise the LR2 as “aging” because it was a design which first debuted way back in 2006, and was badly in need of a change. A couple of years ago, the Land Rover Discovery Sport replaced the aging, but capable LR2 model as the company’s answer for regular people wanting luxury combined with off-road prowess.
