“Well-mannered, spacious, practical, well-finished and now slightly more economical, but D180’s high weight dulls performance and economy.”

“The Disco makes its case through remarkable comfort and impressive off-road skills, though demerits need to be applied for the voracious appetite it has for fuel.”

“The SE-spec Land Rover Discovery Sport plays the comfortable, practical, value-for-money card with aplomb and shows that you needn’t shy away from the bottom end of the range. If you plan to do a lot of towing or frequently find yourself sitting in traffic jams, however, a punchier auto diesel would make more sense.”

“On the road, the new Discovery Sport has plenty of oomph and good handling. Across some tough terrain, I had fun climbing steep tracks and making precarious descents, and crawling over a narrow bridge made of tree trunks.”

“The Land Rover Discovery Sport Si4 is an accomplished petrol SUV. It’s superbly refined and wonderfully upmarket. It also has van-like practicality. It’s just a pity that it cannot escape the fact that it feels like an expensive stopgap, until Land Rover develops a petrol hybrid technology.”

“Interior build quality issues aside, the Land Rover Discovery Sport is still one of the best compact SUVs on the market and the Ingenium diesel is a superb feat of engineering, almost matching the typical running costs and refinement of a much larger petrol powertrain.”

“t’s a strange car, this: billed as a replacement for the solid, no-nonsense Freelander, it is badged as a Discovery and sits on the same running gear as a Range Rover Evoque.” (Jeremy Clarkson)

“Suggesting the Land Rover Discovery Sport is a jack of all trades is unfair, because it implies it’s a master of none. Granted, it’s expensive, and its fuel economy lets it down. But it shouldn’t be too costly to own in the round, thanks to strong resale values. And now that this facelift has made it even slicker than before, it’s brilliant almost everywhere else.”

“The Land Rover Discovery Sport is one of only five cars to get a terrible one star out of five for 0-3-year reliability. It’s one of the least reliable cars on our roads. (Incidentally, four out of the five cars to get such a low rating are also Land Rovers.)” Rated DON’T BUY.
