That EV range, however, segment-leading though it may be, is the reason you can only spec a P300e with five seats with the battery under the boot floor, there simply isn’t room for even a diddy third row. ![]() Not to mention the most frugal: not bad at all.įully charged, the battery should net you 69km of engine-off travelling, which is about as good as it gets from any PHEV SUV at the moment. In fact, a combined power output of 227kW makes this P300e both the smallest-engined and most powerful version of the Discovery Sport. It was only four years ago when the Land Rover Discovery was a finalist for MotorTrends 2018 SUV of the Year. The 0-100kmh sprint is put at 6.6sec, which, let’s be honest, is bloomin’ quick in real-world terms, so there’ll be no moaning here about the inadequacy of that turbo triple. Verdict Legit off-road capability and a stately exterior design make the Discovery Sport stand out. The charmingly thrummy combustion element is more than gutsy enough in its own right and quiet at a cruise, its electric team-mate having whisked you slightly out of the cul-de-sac, through the suburbs and passed the baton once up to speed.

Autocar reports JLR telling investors that it could rationalize “multiple internal combustion engines to one simplified electrified ICE, eliminating diesel and costly after-treatment systems”.īut looking further ahead, JLR has confirmed it is developing zero-emissions fuel-cell technology “in preparation for future demand”, suggesting hydrogen might fully replace the ICE range extenders when the customers and the infrastructure are ready. We suspect most people will use their 2021 Land Rover Discovery Sport as a 4- or 5-seat 2-row SUV, one that has a beautiful interior and a respectably large. That’s a trick BMW used on hybrid versions of its i3 city car, and Mazda will use on the upcoming range-extender versions of the MX-30.īy switching from conventional ICE layout to a range-extender, JLR will be able to drastically reduce the number of ICE engines it needs to build.
