Even though the 2015 Discovery Sport wears the Land Rover badge, you can think of it as a more practical version of the Range Rover Evoque sans the lavish aura and including two more seats. Yes, we took the successor of the Freelander for a spin in the Austrian mountains and wrote a review about it.
The main advantage over the more stylish Evoque that the Discovery Sport has are the extra seats. Therefore they should be usable, right? Well, not really. The Brit is a bit more compact than the BMW X3 for example and that has some tradeoffs, of course.
To be blunt, the third row of seating isn’t recommended for adults, not even if you’re on the shorter side of things. At most, they could be used for small children but most of the time you’ll end up using the car with them folded into the floor.
The second row of seats is acceptable with plenty of room if you don’t have any occupants in the back. Headroom is nice and knee room more than acceptable, especially since the bench slides rearward and the seat backs recline.
