Land Rover Discovery Sport Petrol or Diesel Wiki

The Discovery Sport is the most appealing and certainly the most popular representation in the Land Rover portfolio. Nearly as good quality looking as the Evoque but vastly more practical along with being better value has made this SUV a favourite with us. price now start at an attractive Rs 40 lakh and go all the way to Rs 50 lakh- not bad for a Land Rover. Thus we now return to the Discovery Sport. There are two engine options- a 2.0 petrol with 237 bhp/340Nm along with a new 2.0 Ingenious diesel with 147 bhp/382Nm and 177 bhp/430Nm.

Get past the early lag and the Discovery Sport reveals the Sport part in its name. put the Discovery Sport in S mode on the other hand in place of the regular D mode does that with a surprisingly nice exhaust note which you do not expect this matter-of-fact Land Rover to have. It is rev happy and bursts with power at the top-end thus making you pile on the revs and step on the gas at every available opportunity. In regular D mode in the city there is lag but growth at stop-go traffic is not bad and if not you push it hard; minor change is outstanding.

However the S mode and the clamor made me more and more addicted to this motor and I ended up driving it in quite a spirited manner. What this means is that the Discovery Sport petrol will be heavy on your wallet with single digit good organization figures. But let us face it, if efficiency is your priority then the diesel is the better and more matter-of-fact. It is down on power compared to the petrol but the diesel has better low-end punch and more torque which makes it a better cruiser, although at highway speeds the petrol is not bad at all.

The petrol comes in one well ready trim priced at Rs 48.5 lakh. To be honest, it is amazingly fun and the superb minor change means it is the one to buy if you would be confined within city limits mostly and be driving it yourself. The diesel has more trims and more options so yes it is the more popular and the practical choice here but we still like the Discovery Sport petrol for its personality and fun which the diesel does not have.
