CarWale's Take

Good Things	Iconic Off-Roader with world-renowned capabilities Comes with modern hardware, features and customisation Not as expensive as we expected it to be	Supreme on/off-road manners Powerful diesel motor Flexible 5+2 seating layout
Could be Better	Not the easiest car to manoeuvre in city Even though it’s not utilitarian, the cabin is noisy Ergonomics could have been better	Pricier than competition Could do with a more pampering ride No petrol option

2020 Land Rover Discovery Sport First Drive Review

By Santosh Nair6 months ago

Despite the Discovery Sport ranking high on sales, they’ve missed the opportunity to equip it with a sportier motor. Not to forget that most of its competition also happens to be cheaper. And then comes along a third row that seems abundant only for toddlers. That aside, the opulent design along with a great build quality and versatility, its excellent off-road prowess which is coupled to a fantastic ride, is what truly enthrals one to this heritage-packed SUV.
