Land Rover Discovery Sport - The San Diego Union-Tribune
It may not look the part in its street view, but the new Land Rover Discovery Sport is a credentialed trekker. But it’s good to know it has earned the Land Rover badge of courage. Land Rover will sell a lot of these – even with prices ranging from about $40,000 to more than $50,000. The tester was the top-line HSE Luxury, which was almost $53,000 with extras. The Disco Sport, with seats for five or seven, is the right size for the urban landscape, bringing polished refinement and features. Safety options include the optional Autonomous Emergency Braking system, which uses stereo cameras mounted next to the rear-view mirror to detect objects or slowing traffic. The system will “help avoid collisions” below 32 mph and will reduce the severity of an impact at speeds below 50 mph. There also are such safety options as Traffic Sign Recognition, which is handy because it monitors road signs and displays the speed limit in the navigation screen. And there is Park Assist, which works for parallel or perpendicular parking spaces and autonomously parks the Disco. Source: www.sandiegouniontribune.com
