The Land Rover Discovery Sport is going to be a very hot seller in 2015 according to the experts and the reviews that are already posted online are leaning that same direction. For the most part, Land Rover does a very good job of showcasing the new models that are about to be released to the market and the Land Rover Discovery Sport is not any different. If you know any one that has a Land Rover the odds are pretty good that you have talked about an off-road adventure or two.
One review takes the Land Rover Discovery Sport to Iceland to showcase the features of the luxury SUV and the results are quite creative. The Land Rover Discovery Sport that was being tested in Iceland was fitted with special, studded Pirelli tires and that kept the SUV on the road, even when it was off-road. Driving over packed snow and ice, the Land Rover Discovery Sport was not phased and it made for a delightful drive considering the landscape.
The Land Rover Discovery Sport comes with a 240-horsepower, 2.0-liter engine that is also turbocharged for when you need a little extra power. With the turbocharger, you would think that miles per gallon would be quite low, but that is not the case as the reviewed model came in at 20 MPG in the city and 26 MPG on the highway. For an SUV, that is not that bad at all.
The Land Rover Discovery Sport was taken off-road just enough to test the handling and at one point through a shallow river bed, just for good measure. The new Land Rover comes with a 2-door and a 4-door option in case you have a family you need to cart around. On the inside, the car is quiet, sleek and very comfortable according to one reviewer. Front and back seats might seem a little congested, but the cargo area has plenty of room for whatever you have to bring along on your adventure.
The tested Land Rover Discovery Sport, is actually one of Land Rover’s more affordable options, even being priced at just $38,000 and that includes the destination charge. With the lower price, one would think you would see some short cuts in design or materials, but that was not the case this time around. The overall feel of the Land Rover is luxury with a perfect set of off-road skills that will be appreciated by the new owners.
