Smaller, sporty upgrade is quite the Discovery

Land Rover's newly-rebranded range is full of choice, writes Julie Marshall

The Land Rover Discovery Sport is a smart, comfortable, versatile family car - albeit expensive.

Although if we are being pedantic I suppose we should refer to it simply as the Discovery Sport as, back in 2023, parent company JLR decided to drop the Land Rover badge and create three standalone brands: Range Rover, Defender and Discovery.

I'm not so sure about that, but anyway back to the Discovery Sport.

It is my favourite version of the Discovery and the one I'd be most happy to live with daily.

It's much smaller than the full-fat Discovery, a massive beast which can be quite unwieldy at times - particularly around town and while trying to park.
