2016 Land Rover Discovery Sport 2.0 TD4 HSE Overview: Engine: 2.0-litre turbocharged diesel engine (TD4), producing 150 horsepower. Transmission: Manual transmission. Drive: Four-wheel drive (4WD), making it more capable off-road than typical 2WD competitors. Euro 6 Emissions Standard: Meets the latest emissions requirements, which is good for both the environment and reducing road tax. Fuel Economy: Around 45-55 mpg, making it relatively efficient for a 4WD vehicle of its size. CO2 Emissions: Around 129-139g/km, depending on driving conditions. Seating: 5 seats, with a spacious and comfortable interior. Driving Experience: Engine & Performance: The 2.0 TD4 diesel engine delivers a healthy 150 horsepower, giving the Discovery Sport a solid amount of torque for both on-road and off-road driving. It's not the quickest SUV in its class, but it provides adequate power for most driving situations, with a smooth and steady acceleration. The engine feels punchy when you need it, especially for overtaking or pulling away from traffic, thanks to its torque-heavy performance. Manual Gearbox: The 6-speed manual gearbox is precise, with well-defined shifts, though some drivers may find it less smooth compared to automatic options. The clutch is responsive, and while it's a bit heavier than in some city cars, it adds to the driving experience and control, especially off-road. Handling & Ride Quality: The Discovery Sport handles well for its size, offering a comfortable and composed ride on highways, while still being agile enough for more winding roads. The suspension setup is a balance between comfort and stability, absorbing bumps and rough terrain without making the cabin feel bouncy. On more challenging off-road tracks, the vehicle can easily handle various conditions, from gravel roads to muddy trails, thanks to its 4WD system and Terrain Response system, which adjusts settings for different types of terrain. Off-road Ability: One of the standout features of the Discovery Sport is its off-road capability. The 4WD system, combined with the Terrain Response system, makes it a highly competent off-roader, especially for a compact SUV. Whether you're tackling deep snow, gravel, or uneven terrain, the Discovery Sport excels in environments that would challenge other SUVs. Fuel Economy: The diesel engine offers impressive fuel economy, averaging 45-55 mpg. This makes it relatively cost-effective for a vehicle that can tackle both off-road and long-distance driving. Noise & Vibration: While the diesel engine can be a bit noisy under hard acceleration, it's generally refined and smooth during regular cruising. There's some road noise on the motorway, but it's fairly quiet for a vehicle with off-road capabilities. Interior & Comfort: Interior Quality: The HSE trim provides a luxurious feel, with high-quality materials like leather upholstery, premium finishes, and a sleek dashboard. The cabin is spacious and comfortable for long journeys, with plenty of room.
