Power is sent to all four wheels through a nine-speed automatic transmission.

In both cases, SE models add an interactive driver display, a powered rear tailgate, power seats with memory functions, upgraded 20-inch wheels and blind spot monitoring for an additional $3,350.Īll Discovery Sports now use the same turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, producing 246 horsepower and 269 pound-feet of torque. Standard features include a monochrome painted trim package, grained leather upholstery with red stitching, special R-Dynamic badging, a perforated leather-wrapped steering wheel and exclusive 18-inch wheels. Moving up to the R-Dynamic model pushes the price to $44,650. Front passengers will find a comfy and well-appointed cabin that, while not quite as posh as the more expensive Land Rovers, does a good job of feeling premium and uses a fair number of sustainable materials.
The SUV’s $42,950 starting price buys the base Discovery Sport S with automatic LED headlights, leather upholstery, heated power front seats, 18-inch wheels, wading sensors, ambient lighting and dual-zone climate controls. Those two models are split further into a pair of trims each, S and SE. The Discovery Sport is sold in two main configurations: Base and R-Dynamic. Land Rover’s trim and model structuring can be confusing. That’s why there’s a single underpowered four-cylinder engine on offer and a slightly plainer-looking interior than that of the Discovery. While suitable premium-feeling when compared with a vehicle like the Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk, some corners had to be cut to meet the Disco Sport’s roughly $43,000 starting price. Other SUVs, particularly the GLB, may perform better on the road but the Disco Sport is a seriously capable off-roader. It tries, with decent success, to replicate the rugged-meets-royal magic of its larger namesake. Though quite sporty to look at, the Land Rover defines “sport” in an entirely different way than its competitors. The compact luxury SUV is aimed at similarly-sized premium machines like the Audi Q5, Lexus NX and Mercedes-Benz GLB-class. In actuality, the “sport” part of the equation is a mostly off-road component. The Discovery Sport is a looker and its low profile (for a Land Rover) and hunched stance suggest speed. It rides the same platform as the Discovery, but the Sport is 14 inches shorter and five inches lower overall than its big brother. The Discovery Sport replaced the late, unlamented, Freelander in 2014 and entered its second generation in 2019.
Now, I’m very tall (6ft) and my rear facing carseat is pretty large so I’m not saying it wouldn’t work but with my height and carseat size its gonna be a no for me.The Land Rover Discovery is one of the most iconic names in the world of off-roaders and SUVs, so it’s not surprising that Land Rover moved to capitalize on its brand equity by making another vehicle wearing the name.
#2021 land rover discovery sport review install
It looks pretty large from the outside and as a 3 row SUV I expected more room in the second row but after a few attempts I was unable to properly install my rear facing carseat behind the drivers seat. However… as a mom with two kids in carseats, this car doesn’t work great for me. This is a very special tour because I was sent this 2021 Land Rover Discovery press car to drive for an entire week! I put this 3 row SUV to the ultimate mom car test by installing my carseats and seeing if this car works for a mom with two under two! I love the luxurious and sporty feel of this car and if my kids were older I would absolutely consider it.
