Since some bright spark at Gaydon, sometime in the late 2000s, went: “Ooh, do you know what’d be a good idea? If we shrunk the big Range Rover right down and sold it at about half the price…”, the Evoque has been little short of a licence to print money. Meanwhile, over in the blue corner, the Range Rover Evoque almost needs no introduction. No offset rear number plate on the Disco Sport, though, which is good. So there’s a forward-raked C-pillar on the Discovery Sport, for example, while its lights look a lot like its grander Land Rover stablemate. It is a smoothed-off version of the preceding-generation Discovery Sport, with various design features tying it into the larger, and much longer-serving, Discovery model. The Discovery Sport is currently 2 generations old, the 1st launching in 2014 and replacing the Freelander (which can trace its origins back to 1997), while this present model appeared in 2019. No adult is going to thank you for having to sit back there for any great length of time. That is to say that the 2 seats in the 3rd row, which when in use take up valuable boot space, are best reserved only for smaller children. Bizarrely enough, this is one of JLR’s few 7-seat vehicles, despite its placing on the bottom rung of the Land Rover ladder, although even its parent manufacturer itself calls it more of a ‘5+2’. In the red corner, and representing the practical, stoic, off-road-biased sensibleness of the Land Rover line, we have the Discovery Sport.
