"Driven"
Tom Voelk: Small Land Rovers are nothing new,
Evoque and LR2 have been around for a few years.
This is the LR2's replacement - Discovery Sport
competing with BMW X3, Audi Q5 and Volvo XC60
I'm happy to see Land Rover ditch
forgettable alpha-numeric nomenclature for words that people understand ...
there's a concept!
Discovery Sport and Evoque are built on the same bones but
the Disco here is 9 inches longer with a more traditional roof line.
Starting at $38,000, this top shelf HSE Lux retails for fifty 'large',
all-wheel-drive is standard - I would hope so, considering the brand!
There's 8.3 inches of ground clearance.
The Ford-sourced turbo 2-Liter 4-cylinder
has 240 HP and ... 251 lb-ft of torque.
The transmission has 9-speeds, a Sport Mode and manual ability.
Terrain Response is the Garanimals of off-roading ...
call up the surface you want to cross and
the all-wheel-drive system optimises accordingly.
Most of these rigs will live their lives on pavements [1.28]
