Time is up for the Land Rover Discovery Sport. Let's assess whether it lives up to the premium nature of the brand before wrapping up.
A seven-seater with more sex appeal than most, this car is an ultra-comfortable, configurable family transporter that doesn’t sacrifice cool factor.
Is the Land Rover Discovery Sport able to do what it says on the tin?
A month in, we pick apart living with the Discovery Sport as a family of four – dog included.
The Land Rover Discovery Sport is no stranger to Australians, having gone on sale here in 2015. The Mercedes-Benz GLB, however, is much newer having gone on sale in 2020. Both occupy the medium-SUV class, and both fall into the ‘prestige’ sub-segment of the category. So, which is the better of these two flexible family freighters?
After 3 months of testing we say goodbye to the British brands mid-size luxury SUV.
Land Rover is a brand that sells itself on adventure. I don't believe that can be contested. From its depictions in media and communications through to every interactive touch point, be it online or in physical manifestations, this seems to be the case.

The affected vehicles were sold between 25 May, 2018 and 2 October, 2020 (model years 2019-2020)...
The Australian new-car market is showing signs of recovery. Pundits were forecasting another sharp decline, in the region of 20 per cent, as per previous months affected by the Coronavirus pandemic.

What was supposed to be a week in Queensland with a Camry ended up being one with a Land Rover Discovery Sport HSE, courtesy of a free upgrade from Europcar after all of the available Camrys (Camri?) in the fleet had been returned with some form of damage.
