2015 Land Rover Discovery Sport

The Land Rover LR2 was an awkward and unloved thing. Fewer than 3700 American buyers took one home in 2014, accounting for just seven percent of Land Rover sales. Starting at $37,995, the new Discovery Sport undercuts the all-wheel-drive BMW X3 and the Audi Q5 each by more than $2000, but we’re guessing the Land Rover will win sales based on looks alone. There isn’t a bad angle or errant crease on the Discovery Sport. Its sheetmetal is pulled taut over an athletic frame, creating a design so free of clutter that there isn’t even a reference to the rear bumper lurking under the skin.
