1. Engine & Performance (2.0 TD4, 180 PS) Powerful Diesel Engine: The 2.0-litre TD4 engine produces 180 horsepower and around 430 Nm of torque. This provides a great balance of power for both highway cruising and off-road capability. Acceleration: It isn't the quickest SUV in its class, but it's adequate for overtaking and comfortable motorway driving. The power delivery is smooth, and the automatic transmission shifts seamlessly, making for a relaxed driving experience. Off-Road Ability: Land Rover's reputation for off-road prowess shines here. The 4WD system paired with Terrain Response allows you to easily adapt to different surfaces, whether it's mud, snow, sand, or rock. It's surprisingly capable on rugged tracks or in low-traction conditions, making it a solid choice for those who need an SUV for both urban and outdoor adventures. 2. Ride Comfort & Handling On-Road Comfort: The ride is generally smooth and composed, with good road noise insulation. It feels stable and secure on highways, absorbing most imperfections in the road. The air suspension in some trims would add an even smoother ride, but even without it, it handles very well for its size. Handling: It has more body roll than smaller crossovers due to its higher ride height, but it's still very manageable. Steering is precise and relatively light, although it doesn't have the same sporty feedback that you might get in some smaller SUVs. Overall, it's more about comfort and capability than tight cornering agility. Off-Roading: It's what the Discovery Sport was designed for, so it's exceptionally good off-road. Whether you're tackling mud, deep snow, or gravel paths, the vehicle is built to perform, and the Terrain Response system adjusts the car's settings for optimal traction and stability. 3. Interior & Features (HSE Trim) Premium Cabin: The HSE trim offers a luxurious interior, with leather upholstery, a touchscreen infotainment system, and premium materials throughout. It's designed to feel refined and comfortable, with plenty of space for passengers and luggage. Technology: The InControl Touch system is the central hub for entertainment and navigation, and it includes features like Bluetooth, DAB radio, satellite navigation, and voice control. While the system is good, it may feel slightly dated compared to newer systems in later models. Seating: Front seats are supportive and comfortable for long journeys, while the second-row seats offer good legroom. The optional third row (7 seats) can be a bit cramped, best suited for children or shorter adults, but it's still a handy feature to have if you occasionally need extra capacity. Boot Space: With the rear seats up, boot space is decent, but if you fold the seats down, you can expand it significantly, making it very practical for carrying larger loads. 4. Driving Experience Smooth Automatic Transmission: The 9-speed automatic transmission offers smooth shifts, which contribute to a relaxing driving experience, especially in stop-start traffic.
