We're looking to replace our Mitsubishi Outlander Sport with something a bit more posh. The Land Rover Evoque we had wasn't the most reliable but it certainly wasn't that bad to own either. However, we do want to give Land Rover another go. The new Velar and Discovery are two strong considerations.
Land Rover Discovery Sport
Likes: It still lives up to Land Rover reputation for off-road capabilities. There's finally a more powerful engine option. Unique 5+2 seating configuration.
Dislikes: The auto gearbox often doesn't feel on the same page as the engine. We certainly wish there was a diesel engine option. Reliability is still iffy.
Overall: It's Land Rover's best selling model here for good reason.
Land Rover Velar
Likes: The most stylish Land Rover of the range. The interior is stunning to look at with very cool digital displays.
Dislikes: Finicky door handles and infotainment displays.
Overall: It's a home run from Land Rover.
Land Rover Evoque
Likes: A baby Land Rover that's still fully capable off-road. The convertible version is an oddball but we love it. More powerful engine option available.
Dislikes: The convertible is a bit pointless. Rear seat space is on the cramped side.
Overall: The Disco Sport is roomier and cheaper but a convertible SUV makes it even more intriguing.
Land Rover Discovery
Likes: It seats up to seven people. The electric folding seats are pretty cool. The diesel engine has the lowest running costs.
Dislikes: Reliability short-term and long-term still remain iffy.
Overall: It's quite literally our favorite Land Rover of the range.
