If you must have the Land Rover badge, we recommend stretching your budget and going with one of the brand's larger models like the three-row Discovery or Defender.

If you're shopping in this category, you might be attracted to the Discovery Sport for its innate ruggedness, but if you want a good all-around luxury SUV you'd be better served by a Mercedes-Benz GLC, BMW X3 or Genesis GV70. However, it's very tight and best reserved for short trips. One thing the Discovery Sport has that most small luxury SUVs don't is an optional third row. And while the interior is somewhat upscale, it can't compare with the materials quality you'll find in the options list from Mercedes-Benz, BMW or Audi. Just one engine is available, a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four, and its acceleration and fuel economy numbers are disappointing. The Discovery Sport might have the upper hand against the competition when it comes to off-road prowess, but in nearly every other measure it falls short. Most notable is the omission of the fully digital instrument panel, which had to be cut due to the global semiconductor shortage. For 2023, Land Rover makes a few key features like adaptive cruise control standard, but it also deletes a number of features from the Discovery's options list.
#2021 LAND ROVER DISCOVERY SPORT HSE UPDATE#
The model got a major update in 2020, which included an exterior refresh and a new chassis shared with the second-generation Evoque and Jaguar E-Pace. But eight years later, the most affordable Land Rover struggles to keep up with the competition. When it was introduced back in 2015, the Discovery Sport was a surprisingly capable small sport ute offering competitive performance and technology features.
