Land Rover Discovery Sport
The Land Rover Discovery Sport is a rare thing – it’s a family SUV that really can go off-road if you need it to. And even if you don’t, it’s just nice to know you can – like knowing your flash watch could survive the Mariana Trench even if you rarely attend the local swimming pool.
That said, the Discovery Sport still has all the advantages you get from less off-road-capable SUVs – such as a raised driving position and a practical interior. It’s also a smart-looking car and this facelifted model gets a slick new nose, scrolling indicators and a revised rear end to help keep it looking fresh next to alternatives such as the Audi Q5, BMW X3 and Mercedes GLC.
Work has also been done on the interior, where you’ll find a new infotainment system but, while its displays are high-res, it’s still not the easiest to use. All is not lost though, because Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard so you can circumvent Land Rover’s menus for your smartphone’s more intuitive set-up.
What you can’t avoid is interior quality that’s not quite up to the mark in a car costing this much. Get up close and the shiny lower centre console reflects like a mirror and has flimsy controls, while the electric window buttons don’t sit neatly flush with the tops of the doors.
Something you can’t complain about is interior space. The Discovery Sport has acres of headroom for four tall adults, even with the optional panoramic sunroof fitted, and you get a large boot.
