Land Rover Discovery Sport HSE TD4 5-seater Test Drive Review
Land Rover has launched the
Discovery Sport as a replacement to the Freelander 2. So how good is the
new and most affordable Land Rover available in India?
While the success of the
Freelander 2 was overshadowed by the stylish
Range Rover Evoque,
there is no denying that the car offered a comfortable drive experience
and was accompanied by great off-road capability. However, before Land
Rover introduced the mildly refreshed Freelander 2, they had already
started work on its replacement -the Land Rover Discovery Sport. And now
that it is finally here, can it up the ante and set a new benchmark for
the brand?
Exterior and Design:
The Discovery Sport, unlike the Freelander 2 isn’t boxy, and that’s a
welcome change. In fact, a quick glance at it is enough to figure that
it draws some inspiration from the Range Rover Evoque. But amazingly,
the Disco still manages make its own identity with its subtle design
cues.
Look at the
Discovery Sport from
the front and it screams Land Rover. That smoothly carved out bonnet,
and the honeycomb grille grill with the Discovery badge above it give it
a clean look up front. And then adding a bit of spunk, there are those
sweet looking circular daytime running lamps around the projector
headlamps. We particularly liked the way the rear end coexists with the
front thanks to certain elements in its design. The smoked tail lamp
cluster too has circular LEDs and there's the all important Discovery
badge above the registration plate. Although the oddball rear design
doesn't look as evolved and butch as the front, the overall styling will
surely grow on you over time.
