Discovery Sport or BMW X5: Go-Anywhere Performance

The BMW X5 is a capable performer–that much is indisputable. However, if you’re looking for one of the best off-roading SUVs, it’s clear that you’ll be happier in the driver’s seat of the Land Rover. Here’s what you should keep in mind:

• The BMW X5 is available with rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. While the latter offers more traction, it can’t compare to Land Rover 4WD, which is standard on every Discovery Sport.
• Only the Land Rover Discovery Sport is available with Terrain Response®, which automatically assesses on-road and off-road conditions, adapting to give you the best possible performance.
• Both models offer Hill Descent Control and Dynamic Stability Control, which can help you tackle varied terrain. However, where the X5 can only wade to a depth of 19.68 inches, the Discovery Sport can manage depths of 23.6 inches.
