Nikki Cousins and Peter Anderson road test and review the Land Rover Discovery Sport SI4, with specs, fuel consumption and verdict.

Land Rover (and Range Rover) are having a huge few years of new model arrivals and the latest addition to its range is the Land Rover Discovery Sport. Replacing the unloved (and unlovely) Freelander, it’swaaaaysexier and has a much better interior and mechanical package.

The Sport bit in the name is meant to do two things – the first is to link it to the considerably more expensive and very desirable Range Rover Sport and the second is to let you know it’s not the gigantic shipping-crate-on-wheels Discovery.

The Range Rover style also comes with Land Rover off-road chops, so it’s quite the all-rounder on paper.

Nikki and Peter and their alter egos Tara and Alana put the petrol version of the Discovery Sport to the test.
