Another trick to give the Sport a more dramatic appearance is the use of deeper door skins, which make the side windows shallower and, along with the big sill extensions, give the car deeper body sides. At the front, the headlights will be more aggressive than on the Range Rover and the bumpers will be blockier. The new model is based on the same riveted and bonded aluminium monocoque as the new Range Rover and is expected to follow it closely in terms of specification. Today鈥檚 car is priced from just under 拢50,000, but with the switch to a much more sophisticated aluminium platform, all-new suspension and improved features, insiders expect a price hike of at least 10 per cent for the new model. The new Sport is expected to weigh the same as its sister model, which means that the entry-level V6 diesel variant should hit 2160kg 鈥?300kg lighter than the current entry-level model. This in turn will ensure that the new Range Rover Sport is a markedly more dynamic proposition than the current model. The range will kick off with the new-generation 255bhp, 442lb ft turbocharged V6 diesel engine. The familiar V8 supercharged motor is good for 504bhp and 461lb ft in its standard application, but with Porsche having just unveiled the 542bhp Cayenne Turbo S, Land Rover bosses may see fit to launch a new extreme-performance version. The new Sport is also expected to get the option of the 335bhp twin-turbo V8 diesel engine. With 516lb ft on tap from just 1750rpm, this engine could outrun the petrol V8 for through-the-gears acceleration.

It also is one of the prettiest four-door cars on the planet, and the noises it makes aim right at your heart. More to the point, the Rapide is fun to drive in a basic, almost old-fashioned manner. It has telepathic steering, a raw and raucous V-12, a chassis designed for optimum weight distribution, and sensational brakes. This 100-proof sport coupe is free of filters, artificial flavoring, softeners, and diluting agents. 152,000) costs significantly less than any of these rivals, and it's the only one in this group that can venture off-road. It also offers the most complete assortment of state-of-the-art driver-assistance systems. The other cars may be faster, more stylish, sharper at the limit, and later on the brakes, but the Range Rover is not far behind. It is dynamically pretty much on par with the best, and it is easy to operate, quick, and slick. The final decider is the back seats. In Executive Class trim, you get a five-mode massage function, heating and ventilation, reclining backrests, four-zone A/C, eight-inch video monitors -- you name it. So the Range Rover wins. Still not quite enough rear legroom? Then wait for the long-wheelbase model coming soon.

As such, the 2020 Discovery Sport will be offered in S, SE and HSE grades only, with all models being powered by a nine-speed automatic transmission. 3000 cost depending on the model. Further emphasising that this is no regular update, all models bar the D150 will be available with a 48V lithium-ion battery that aids in turning the Discovery Sport into what the car industry refers to as mild-hybrid. The 8kW/h battery sits underneath the second-row seats, and aids in storing energy and delivering it to not only improve fuel efficiency, but also drivability. The mild-hybrid system allows the engine to turn off at speeds below 17km/h as the car comes to a stop. This enables a fair bit of fuel-saving at low-speed traffic situations without compromising on the comfort. It鈥檚 pretty seamless and the engine turns back on immediately when required. To be fair, we barely noticed that it was happening at all. This small battery and its energy recuperation system allows for a seven per cent fuel economy saving.

Instead, confident roadholding, dutiful steering and adequate body control keep the Mazda fluid and predictable at speed. That鈥檚 as much as can be expected, and perhaps more than has been proffered by Mazda on the comfort front. Unfairly handicapped by bigger 19-inch wheels that come as standard with our test car鈥檚 Sport Nav trim, the CX-5 tends to range unhappily on its suspension as though it鈥檚 searching for a mislaid equilibrium. There are two lines to draw here. Behind one are the Mazda's admirable running costs. As we鈥檝e mentioned, the CX-5 is capable of deeply commendable economy and its CO2 emissions are remarkable for the segment. The Skoda Yeti 1.6 TDI Greenline is the only car able to trade toe to toe with the Mazda on this footing, but it offers nothing like the same performance. On the other hand, an entry-level Yeti Greenline costs nearly 拢10,000 less. Hamstrung by the strength of the yen, Mazda has slapped a 拢22,995 starting price on the diesels. This gets you SE-L spec, which features nearly every conceivable extra bar sat-nav; you must fork out extra for the SE-L Nav for that.
