DISCOVERY SPORT

2015 to present

WHILE on paper it replaces the Freelander 2, in reality the Discovery Sport is a very different beast altogether. Like all Land Rovers, it’s built to be best in class off-road, but its on-road handling is astonishing, too. Its surefooted handling on icy roads is nothing short of astonishing. Considering all the new cutting-edge technology, this versatile mid-size SUV represents excellent value for money, but 2016 model-year Ingenium diesels can suffer oil dilution problems.

BUYER’S TIP: Problems with oil dilution on some diesel models.
