2019 Land Rover Discovery Sport First Drive
For a dozen seconds I鈥檓 completely bewitched by the craggily, multi-peaked mountain of Montserrat. I鈥檓 ascending toward it in a 2020 Land Rover Discovery Sport, but it鈥檚 as if I鈥檓 having an out-of-body experience, as this rocky outcropping demands my attention. While the aptly named 鈥淪errated Mountain鈥?is doing its job transfixing my attention, so too is the handsome, abundantly capable, and newly plush Discovery Sport. Sweeping up toward a scenic mountain seems a natural environment for the Disco Sport, but its chic-and-sleek aesthetic plays nicely in the city, too, the latter of which is where most Americans will likely use the compact Land Rover. Though if a 2020 model breezes past, you could be forgiven for not picking up on the updates. The new Sport receives freshly designed LED headlamps and taillamps, a new grille, and a new front bumper. The R-Dynamic models have plenty of body-colored panels, which gives the impression of the car being lower to the ground than its 8.3 inches of ground clearance suggests.
The Range Rover HSE has a 4.4 litre V8 engine that gives 305 horsepower, which is up from the previous 282 horsepower, and the Range Rover Supercharged model comes in with a 4.2 liter engine with 400 horsepower. These two engines are matched with a six-speed automatic transmission with overdrive. The HSE's engine attains a 14 mpg in the city and close to 19 mpg on the highways. The supercharged attains 13 mpg in the city and 19 mpg on the highways. Utilising what was good in the older model and mixing them with the more modern elements, the Land Rover Range Rover's cabin design has seen few changes. The cabin's rigid seat position, massive steering wheel and older style dash, is reminiscent of the older Range Rover models. However the navigation system which offers on and off road mapping, walnut inlays, and leather seats all combine to bring the vehicle into the modern era and stamping its class as a luxury vehicle. The rear seats have much more room and the cargo room is just about ordinary due to the floor being high.

Again, the old separate bumper is gone, as the new one is perfectly integrated into the apron. It also incorporates the license plate, which was previously mounted on the tailgate. Just like its predecessor, the 2020 Defender comes in two sizes. The Defender 110 features a 119-inch wheelbase, while the Defender 90, due to be launched in 2020, will have a notably shorter wheelbase. The new Defender 110 has a nine-inch longer wheelbase than its predecessor. You can choose from seven exterior colors, including three new metallic shades. Standard colors include Fuji White, Eiger Grey, Santorini Black, and Indus Silver. If you want a metallic finish, you can choose from Tasman Blue, Pangea Green, and Gondwana Stone, all three unique to the Defender. The Defender X trim also comes with a gloss-black inset contrast engine hood, gloss-black cladding, and skid plates in Starlight Satin. The Defender is the first Land Rover that you can optionally order with a protective film for the body. This satin layer not only protects the paint, but also gives the metallic color a rich satin finish.
You can pitch it hard into corners and it will respond well, digging in and getting around. It feels flat, planted and mostly neutral, although it's very easy to get this car to misbehave by steering with the throttle, should the mood strike. It is not, however, a terribly talkative kitty. I found feedback through the chassis to be a bit on the limited side for a sports car, as it can be difficult to interpret grip levels or balance through the chassis. The Jag's steering is arguably worse than the suspension in terms of feedback, which I found rather limited despite the rack's sharp, quick nature. This is a vehicle that's very well setup for rapid directional changes, but it could be better when it comes to letting the driver know what the front tires are doing. With such a potent powertrain, it's reassuring to know that Jaguar has really paid attention to the F-Type's brakes. 13.9-inch rotors are standard at all four corners, but my tester boasted larger, 15-inch front pans and red-painted calipers, as part of the optional Performance Pack.
