Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

“The Velar plugs a gap in, er, Land Rover's range of Range Rovers. It's bigger than the Evoque but smaller than the Sport ”

PROS
Achingly stylish inside and out.
Improved engines and plug-in option make the heavy-duty bits more competitive.
Relaxed and refined, yet unusually superb off-road.

CONS
Infotainment screen not quite Land Rover’s latest and greatest.
Expensive once you start speccing it

The Range Rover Velar is a stylish, refined and seriously appealing coupé SUV. If you keep to small wheels, it's a comfy companion while our favoured S trim gets plenty of kit. It’s best to stick to the cheaper trims and engines – once you start moving up the range, the price rises into the realms of better-resolved cars, such as the Audi Q8 and BMW X6.

PROS
Decent economy with diesels and plug-in
Smooth and punchy D300 engine
Good off road

CONS
Average rear leg room
Wallowy handling
Some cheap plastics inside

The 2020 Land Rover Discovery Sport comes with all wheel drive. Available transmissions include: 9-speed automatic.Revised exterior styling, a new base trim and an optional mild hybrid engine.Improved interior materials and additional tech features.

Pros
Above-average off-road and all-weather capabilities
Available third-row seating
Plenty of passenger and cargo space
Quiet and smooth ride

Cons
Seats may be too big for smaller drivers
The more powerful engine upgrade is only offered on the top trim

The 2020 Land Rover Discovery Sport is a super-competent seven-seater in a hotly contested luxury medium-SUV segment. It’s technically an update to the model that came out in 2015, one which this author actually bought and owned for some time.

Pros
Seven seats,
super versatile and practical,
Range Rover-like interior,
great packaging,
much better looking than before

Cons
Initial lag from drivetrain on take off,
still needs some options ticked,
no USB C

Land Rover promises luxurious treatment and off-road capability, and the 2020 Discovery Sport brings these qualities to the masses. The downsized Discovery is the most affordable model to wear the Land Rover badge, but it still boasts myriad features as well as a refreshed design for 2020. The updated styling helps align the Sport with bigger and ritzier Rovers such as the Discovery and the Range Rover Velar.Every Discovery Sport is powered by a turbocharged four-cylinder engine that makes between 246 and 286 horsepower depending on the model. However, the more powerful engine utilizes a 48-volt hybrid system that aims to improve fuel economy and aid acceleration.
