Land Rover Discovery Sport
As a compact luxury SUV, the Discovery Sport goes up against the Audi Q5, BMW X3 and Mercedes-Benz GLC, just to name a few. The last refresh came in 2020, and there are no major changes to report for 2023. The only engine you can have here is a turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder that produces 246 horsepower via a nine-speed automatic transmission. The Discovery Sport continues to stand out from the competition with superior off-road skills.
