Land Rover makes some of the greatest 4x4s of all time. Inspired by the Willy’s Jeep in WWII, the Land Rover was designed and marketed to European farmers in 1948. The Land Rover has been a smash hit ever since. Today, Land Rover is only marketed and designed as a luxury brand. Whether you are on your 1000-acre ranch in the countryside or on downtown cobbled streets, the Land Rover looks sophisticated. Land Rover has a variety of models, some of which include the Defender, Discovery, and Range Rover. Land Rovers are some of the most trusted and reliable vehicles in the world to get you where you need to go on any terrain. The Land Rover lineup today offers seven different vehicles to choose from, and here’s a list of all of them:
The Land Rover Discovery Sport comes in four trims starting with the Discovery Sport S. All Land Rover Discoveries feature all-wheel drive and Terrain Response, 2 which includes four driving modes and monitors the terrain. The Discovery Sport seats up to seven people and has a cargo capacity of 60 cubic feet. The S trim offers a 2.0-liter gas engine that makes 246 horsepower and 269 pound-feet of torque. It has a top speed of 137 miles per hour and takes 7.3-7.5 seconds from 0 to 60 mph. The Land Rover Discovery Sport R-Dynamic S, starting at $46,400, is a more sporty design than the Sport S featuring black accents. The performance specifications are exactly the same as the Sport S for the Sport R-Dynamic S. The price is almost the same so it’s no surprise the styling cues are the only difference.
The Sport SE trim starts at $48,200. It features the same 2.0-liter engine, but makes slightly more power - 249 horsepower - and comes with upgraded 20-inch wheels and a higher top speed of 140 miles per hour.
