One may recognise this front end design of the Discovery Sport from that of the Range Rover Evoque and although the new car is built alongside the Evoque at Land Rover's Halewood plant, it is almost entirely redesigned from the B-pillars back, giving the car a longer wheelbase to allow for more rear seat capacity. The car also sensibly ditches the Evoque's aggressively tapered roofline to cater for more headroom and visibility.

In pretty much every way possible, BMW's new X1 is vastly improved over its predecessor.
honda 2008 fog light Do you remember the last time you were doubtful about something, only to have it turn out to be a pleasant surprise? Such was the feeling when we went for a spin in BMW's new X1 in Austria.
New from the ground up, the second generation X1 is an altogether different machine to the original, courtesy of a switch to BMW's flexible UKL architecture that is also shared by the 2 Series Active Tourer and the latest MINI range.
Where the old X1 was based on the 3 Series Touring and offered in rear or all-wheel drive, the new car now has the choice of all-wheel grip (xDrive) or front-wheel drive sDrive variants.
