Off-Roading Capabilities

Edmunds.com describes the 2018 Discovery Sport as having “above-average off-road and all-weather capabilities.” With 23.6 inches wading depth, there are a lot of possibilities around Cave Creek in the Discovery Sport. Tested on about 5,281 miles of off-road landscape it is better-equipped than the Acura MDX to handle rough terrain with:

  • Terrain Response® Technology: Select the mode according to the weather conditions (General Driving, Grass/Gravel/Snow, Mud & Ruts, or Sand)
  • Hill Descent Control®: This standard technology has been patented by Land Rover and won’t be found in an Acura.
  • Ground Clearance: 8.3 inches vs 7.3 inches in the MDX.
