    The 2015 Land Rover Discovery Sport Info

    Many SUV buyers were interested in taking a look at the Land Rover Discovery Sport 2015 model since it stands out as a brand new Land Rover model that will join the line-up. The manufacturer recently made the announcement and stated that a brand new small luxury SUV will replace the LR2, which is quite aging at the moment. Popular models like Range Rover Evoque will still be kept.

    Basics To Remember:

    • The 2015 Land Rover Discovery will replace the LR2
    • A new exterior and interior styling is offered, with seating for a maximum of 7 passengers
    • Price starts at $39,000 – Special sale deal to be available at the start of 2015

    Looks
    According to What Is SUV, the new Land Rover will offer a brand new look, with rounded styling, a good looking grille and narrower taillights and headlights. The interior will be highly modern and will combine the classic, unique Land Rover features (like the rising circular gear level) with simple design that is popular in the upscale models offered by Land Rover like Range Rover and Land Rover Range Rover Sport.

    Engine
    Just as the name implies, this is a sport SUV but not one without power or without the necessary traits to help you plan a great tent camping trip. Just one engine is so far confirmed in the 4 cylinder 2.0 liters turbocharged one that was used for the LR2. It is a part of the EcoBoost family from Ford, offering a powertrain capable of 240 hp and 250 torque.

    Interesting Features
    Obviously, there are things that are still to be discussed and not much is well known about the Land Rover Discovery Sport but we do know that the seating capacity is up to seven. This is quite different since most of the crossovers on the market in this segment will give you 5 seats. This includes the Audi Q5, the Mercedes-Benz GLK and the Acura RDX. This is definitely a first time appearance in this compact upscale crossover SUV segment.

    Conclusions
    The 2015 Land Rover Discovery Sport will most likely be officially announced and presented in detail at the Paris Motor Show. We can say that we are in front of a brand new SUV, one that does take a chance because of the larger interior offered as a crossover. It is a modern approach and definitely a welcomed addition when compared with the really outdated LR2. With this in mind, if Land Rover manages to bring in some interesting features and maybe some extra engine options, together with some suitable trims, many buyers can be interested.

    We cannot say if the engine that is used now will be enough to offer a great experience in the event you will have a lot of luggage and all 7 seats will be filled. Also, we should wait a little and see what type of driving experience can be offered since the offer of the same engine is kind of disappointing. We really hope that a stronger engine option will be available.

    • Looks like the new Mercedes-AMG S 63 E PERFORMANCE was spotted testing in South Africa 🇿🇦

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
