It may look like an Evoque, but the 2015 Land Rover Discovery Sport is a whole different animal. Sporting a revised multilink rear suspension, room for seven passengers, and enhanced off-road capability, the newest Disco is a rugged, flexible, and economical alternative to its bigger brothers, the Range Rover Sport and the LR4.
Watch the TFLcar snowy off-road review of the 2015 Land Rover Discovery Sport below, straight from the majestic landscape of Iceland:
All around, the 2015 Land Rover Discovery Sport has proven its worth to us as a capable off-road machine. Four-wheel-drive is standard, along with Land Rover’s Terrain Response system. Coupled with a new multilink rear suspension and 8.3/9.4 front/rear inches of ground clearance , the new Disco can tackle obstacles, and not just those of the urban variety.
Offering a 240 HP, turbocharged four-cylinder engine and nine-speed automatic transmission as its only powertrain, the 2015 Land Rover Discovery Sport feels much like the quick and agile Evoque on smooth pavement. Options include a fixed-glass roof and, for the first time in Land Rover’s smaller offerings, a seven-passenger seating configuration. While the third row isn’t large by any means, it is perfectly capable of holding little ones or even young adults for short stints.
With a starting MSRP of $37,995 (including destination), the 2015 Land Rover Discovery Sport offers flexibility, exclusivity, and the company’s hallmark off-road capability at a solid price point. Expect availability by mid-2015, with other Land Rover models including the LR4’s replacement debuting shortly thereafter.
