2017 (171) Land Rover Discovery Sport

The Land Rover Discovery Sport has a winning combination of great looks, excellent handling and top rate off road ability. Practicality is of the upmost importance with this type of vehicle and the Discovery does not disappoint in this regard either. There is plenty of space on board, particularly in the rear where the additional optional row of seats will come in handy. There is a decent sized boot with no awkward boot lip to lug things over. The front of the car is a calm, relaxing and comfortable place to sit with everything having a premium feel, the centrepiece of which is the eight or ten-inch touchscreen. There is a decent level of standard equipment that includes climate control, cruise control and Bluetooth connectivity. The 2 litre diesel (or petrol) engine is paired with either a six-speed manual or a nine-speed automatic gearbox, both coming highly recommended. Importantly for a family car, there are an array of safety features including no less than seven airbags.
