Thread: Discovery "Sport"

Can't see the youtube clip (I'm at work and they're blocked) - but if it is the Discovery Sport as you've said in the title, it's not the new Discovery - it's the new Freelander replacement.

Having said that, the concept pics that I've seen of the new Discovery is somewhat similar in style, though larger. Looks similar to the Ford Territory in many respects.

Google "Discovery Vision Concept".

Personally I think the New 'Freelander Replacement' looks pretty darn swish, provided it comes with low range Id seriously be tempted towards one!
I can already imagine it now sitting a bit higher with RAI and bullbar. . .

the big question is, will it stay in the Freelander price point? surely it has to be cheaper than the Evoque?

2015 Land Rover Discovery Sport revealed: Car News- CarsGuide

It has the same new ZF 9 speed auto as the Evoque, which has a crawler 1st gear and usually starts in second on road.

It also has an electronic rear diff with electronically controlled clutches that direct power to each rear wheel with no direct gear connection.

The LRO tester thought it was very good on the test track but not as good as a mechanical 2 speed setup.

A 9 speed!?!?! Really?
Why do we need 9 'gears'...........

Haha Disco man ill have to agree with all you said!! Im not that keen on it either but she is good to look at!

I am starting to think that the Land Rover people

Have lost the plot the Land Rover was a utilitarian

Vehicle that was simple to maintain simpler still in

Construction and to repair would go just about anywhere

And did not readily turn into a rust bucket now days

It seems to be becoming a a status symbol or Yuppy vehicle

That you would not want to take out in the paddock

To do a days work from or even take out in the bush

Cause ya might scratch it -- Any one know when the

Last rites ceremony is being held

So Bob please tell us what type of 4wd vehicle's we'd be driving today if Land Rover didn't make the Range Rover Classic all those years ago?. Pat
