    Should I buy one?

    If good off-road ability is high priority for you, your search for mid-size luxury SUV should end at the Discovery Sport. It’s superbly capable and also small enough to enjoy in the rough. Pity the majority of Discovery Sports in India will never see the kind of terrains this SUV is built for. On other fronts too, the Discovery Sport impresses. It looks good, feels solidly put together and will come with plenty by way of goodies. You’ll also have little to complain about with the way it drives and rides. It may not be as rewarding to drive as an X3, but it’s not too far behind on this front.

    The Discovery Sport will be available in four trim levels and thanks to local assembly from the outset, it will be priced close to its main rivals. Prices start at Rs 46.1 lakh for the base variant going upto Rs 62.18 lakh for the top-spec variant. For the money, you’ll get a remarkably well-rounded SUV with a personality very distinct from its contemporaries. To many, the latter bit alone should be enough reason to give the Discovery Sport serious consideration.
