New Discovery Sport anyone.
Looks like a Freelander with a RRS rear.
Not sure on first impressions if I like it, or what it is supposed to be.

Gone my10 3.0 tdv6 Bali blue/ivory 5 years 24k no problems great car will be missed

Agreed , i think it looks alright.

BTW Viper the avatar makes me smile

I like the look of it. It's the first of the designs to hold the various new LR cues together in one design in a harmonious way. Perhaps the lack of silly plastic not-vents everywhere helps.

It's a shame it's on steel springs and has part-time 4WD but other than that it looks like a good bit of kit. The space certainly appeals.

I could see one as a daily drive with the RRS kept for "interesting" outings  2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Looks like another Ewok incarnation. A bit like the RRS, front looks ok, back not so good, but maybe more in proportion than the RRS? Gone - 2008 Stornoway Grey RRS 2.7 TDV6
Gone - 2009 Buckingham Blue RRS 2.7 TDV6
Gone - 2010 Alaska White RRS 5.0 V8 Aspirated
Gone - 2017 Chawton White RRS 5.0 V8 Supercharged
Current - 2010 Java Black RRS 5.0 V8 Aspirated
Current- 2024 RRS P400 SE Dynamic

They go to all these exotic locations, having fun testing it but it will still have problems with ARB bushes in 30k miles and will probably have the usual "suicide hesitation"!

I like it a lot, but cant believe the supposed Freelander replacement is more expensive than the evoque??
according to LR website- Evoque from £29205, Discovery sport from £32395!!!

I like it, but might have to save a lot to afford one to my spec, or save money and buy a ex demo when the new engine arrives and has been tested

The DS (Disco Sport) is a big vehicle. It's wider than RRS1 and has basically the same wheelbase as RRS1. Just a shorter rear overhang as far as I can tell. The interior space is impressive - with the seats flat it's got the same load length as FFRR and with the middle row of seats pushed back you get better legroom than FFRR.

As a family vehicle this thing has a lot going for it.

I'm really looking forward to seeing the new FFD (Full Fat Disco) next year - it's got a lot to live up to now. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

I'm really tempted by one

But I bet the waiting list is pretty long.....

HHG (what ever James garage is called nowadays) rang a friend and offered him a DS HSE lux SD Auto for march delivery
