The 2018 Land Rover Discovery Sport 2.0 TD4 SE Tech is a versatile and capable compact luxury SUV, blending strong off-road abilities with family-friendly practicality and premium features. Engine & Performance Engine: 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbocharged diesel producing approximately 177 bhp (180 ps). Transmission: 9-speed automatic with permanent 4WD. Performance: 0-60 mph acceleration in around 9.2 to 9.6 seconds; top speed about 117 mph. Fuel Efficiency: Official combined fuel economy is roughly 36.8 mpg, making it relatively economical for a diesel 4WD SUV of this size. Emissions: Meets Euro 6 standards, qualifying for low emission zones with efficient diesel emissions control systems. Dimensions & Practicality Length: 4599 mm Width: 2173 mm (including mirrors) Height: 1724 mm Seating: Up to 7 seats (5+2 with smaller third row suitable for children) Boot Capacity: Around 194 litres with all seats up; expanding significantly with rear seats folded (up to 897 litres depending on configuration).

Driving Experience & Reliability The Discovery Sport balances a comfortable motorway ride with surprisingly confident handling and notable off-road capability, thanks to Land Rover's Terrain Response system and solid 4WD system. The diesel engine provides sufficient power for everyday driving and towing but is not a sporty performer. Summary The 2018 Land Rover Discovery Sport 2.0 TD4 SE Tech combines a premium cabin, practical space, advanced tech, and authentic off-road capability in a compact SUV form factor. While it offers good fuel efficiency and features, buyers should weigh up potential reliability issues and running costs against the benefits of its versatility and Land Rover badge appeal. It remains a competitive choice in the luxury compact SUV segment, especially for those who want a family SUV with genuine 4WD and some seven-seat flexibility.
