Something that’s new to this revised model is its 48V power supply and mild-hybrid technology, which means the Discovery Sport can now regenerate electricity under braking. On the motorway it cruises comfortably and quietly. In town, it soaks up bumps well and that raised driving position helps with visibility, while its brilliant nine-speed automatic gearbox and light controls make it an easy car to manoeuvre about. Hit the road and you’ll find the Discovery is a comfortable car to travel in. In the Land Rover, they’re tight for adults, but handy if you ever need to carry a couple of extra kids. One trick the Discovery Sport has up its sleeve is its third row of seats – none of its posher alternatives offer this, though you can have them in a Skoda Kodiaq. The Land Rover Discovery Sport is a family SUV that, shock horror, you can actually take off-road and come back in one piece. The Discovery Sport has acres of headroom for four tall adults, even with the optional panoramic sunroof fitted, and you get a large boot. Something you can’t complain about is interior space. Get up close and the shiny lower centre console reflects like a mirror and has flimsy controls, while the electric window buttons don’t sit neatly flush with the tops of the doors. What you can’t avoid is interior quality that’s not quite up to the mark in a car costing this much.

All is not lost though, because Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard so you can circumvent Land Rover’s menus for your smartphone’s more intuitive set-up. Work has also been done on the interior, where you’ll find a new infotainment system but, while its displays are high-res, it’s still not the easiest to use. It’s also a smart-looking car and this facelifted model gets a slick new nose, scrolling indicators and a revised rear end to help keep it looking fresh next to alternatives such as the Audi Q5, BMW X3 and Mercedes GLC. That said, the Discovery Sport still has all the advantages you get from less off-road-capable SUVs – such as a raised driving position and a practical interior.
And even if you don’t, it’s just nice to know you can – like knowing your flash watch could survive the Mariana Trench even if you rarely attend the local swimming pool. The Land Rover Discovery Sport is a rare thing – it’s a family SUV that really can go off-road if you need it to. Is the Land Rover Discovery Sport a good car?
