Land Rover Discovery Sport SD4 0-100km/h engine sound. Head over to http://performancedrive.com.au/land-r... for the full review. • 2015 Land Rover Discovery Sport SD4 HSE Luxury • 2.2-litre turbo-diesel four-cylinder • 140kW and 420Nm • Nine-speed auto, all-wheel drive • 0-100km/h in 8.7 seconds (as tested) • You could think of this as a more practical Range Rover Evoque. It's called the Land Rover Discovery Sport and it's Jaguar Land Rover's latest attempt at the medium-size premium SUV segment, blending luxury, class-first seven seats (optional), value for money, and all of the off-road pedigree you'd expect from Land Rover. • • Replacing the Freelander 2, the Discovery Sport falls under the new 'Discovery' sub-brand. Like Range Rover is a sub-brand reserved for its luxury-focused models, the Discovery brand is being applied to leisure vehicles and will soon welcome the new full-size Discovery. • Underneath the Sport is the same platform that featured on the Freelander, and the Range Rover Evoque for that matter. The chassis actually started life as the Ford EUCD platform that underpins the Mondeo. It is obviously heavily modified by Land Rover, with extensive alterations to make it suitable for off-road driving and to allow for seven seats. • In Australia, buyers have a big yet digestible variety of engine and variant levels to choose from. There are three engines, the TD4, SD4, and Si4, and then SE, HSE, and HSE Luxury trim levels. Both the 'D4' variants feature a 2.2-litre turbo-diesel, with 110kW/400Nm and 140kW/420Nm, respectively. The Si4 comes with a 2.0-litre turbo-petrol producing 177kW. Strangely - for this day and age - there is a six-speed manual option for most (all but petrol models), or an optional nine-speed automatic. All models in Australia (at the time of writing) are all-wheel drive. A front-wheel drive version is in the pipeline. • ...to continue reading the review simply follow the link at the top of the page.
