    Land Rover Discovery Sport Review, For Sale, Colours, Interior, Models & News

    FROM
    $73,504

    Launched in 2014, the monocoque-bodied Land Rover Discovery Sport was designed to bring the price point of the British marque down to more accessible levels.

    Based on the Range Rover Evoque's architecture, the Discovery Sport comes in five-seater and '5+2' seven-seater configurations, and essentially repalced the ageing Freelander 2. Engine choices run to four-cylinder petrol and diesel turbos, with all-wheel drive for genuine off-road chops, aided by Land Rover’s terrain response system.

    In 2019 a substantially re-engineered facelift arrived, bringing increased electrification as well as fewer variant choices. The cheapest grade starts from $73,504, rising to $101,999 for the most expensive version.

    Land Rover Discovery Sport FAQs

    Would a Jeep Cherokee, Alfa Romeo Stelvio or Land Rover Discovery be a good first four-wheel-drive?

    That’s quite a broad range of abilities you’ve listed there. Both the Jeep and the Land Rover are pretty serious off-roaders while, the Alfa Romeo Stelvio is an SUV that really has no pretenses to working on a bush track.

    None of this trio would be cheap to service, and modern turbo-diesel engines really do need their maintenance to remain reliable. In terms of industry reputation, the Jeep has a background of electrical and build-quality problems, while the Land Rover and Alfa Romeo also have their share of quality glitches. Many owners put up with this stuff, but if you’re going to head seriously outback, there are probably better choices.

    The other part of the equation is what happens when you wish to sell the vehicle in a few years. Frankly, all three of these cars will be a reasonable bet to suffer plenty of depreciation although, to be fair, a 2021 version of each will already have done some of that.
