The United States is finally about to get what Europeans have been lucky to have for years: the 2016 Land Rover Discovery Sport. Because Land Rover is a British automaker, it makes sense that they would first debut on the other side of the pond, and now that it's been a few years since the initial European Land Rover Discovery Sport, the automaker has plenty of time to retune it to fit the specifications of Northfield drivers. Indeed, Land Rover is positioning the 2016 Land Rover Discovery Sport as a Land Rover vehicle for people who have never owned one before.
Here at your Land Rover dealer, Northbrook and Northfield residents are gearing up for the release of the new 2016 Land Rover Discovery Sport. If you haven't been keeping up with the news about this exciting new vehicle, here's a quick overview. The 2016 Land Rover Discovery Sport will replace the Land Rover LR2, but it will be different in every conceivable way, starting with the exterior design. The lightweight body shell is composed of high-strength steel and aluminum, and the vehicle's shape is modern and even sporty.
Under the hood, the 2016 Land Rover Discovery Sport will be comparable to the 2015 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque, thanks to its turbocharged 2.0-liter engine that delivers 240 horsepower. This power is transferred to a standard nine-speed automatic transmission, while the all-wheel-drive system ensures that the new Land Rover vehicle stays true to the automaker's off-road tradition. Additionally, Land Rover has developed several new technologies for the vehicle, including new autonomous braking and a new touchscreen infotainment system.
