If it's good enough for the UK spec F-Pace then it should be in the Disco. 23.5MY Defender 90 X-Dynamic SE D250 MHEV Pangea Green

Don't be so dismissive  ...the ring was good enough for the D3

3.0 would be nice. those first side on shots without roof rails show a step in the roof which is good but it is a very small step by the looks of it. MY06 S - Gone but not forgotten

One of the biggest criticisms of the Discovery Sport is the lack of the 'command driving position' in reality you are sat just as high up, however, the sides of the doors are much higher giving the impression you are sat lower in the car, judging by the driver in those shots, it would appear that this new car will be the same? A fine is a tax for doing wrong. A tax is a fine for doing well.

As with another particular body I like to give a coat of looking at I also like the rear end of this D5
However I think the RR front end its slapped on and i realise it was going to happen , well I dont like it and there is something very wrong with the wheelbase but I cant quite put my finger on it .
Summary nice ass shame about the face and feet
Caveat : opinion will be subject to many changes in the coming months

I disagree, because you can't see over the bonnet of the DS, even LR say you sit in it rather than on it, at least they called it the Sports Command Driving position in the Evoque. Both the Disco and Fl2 the driver was looking over the bonnet. 23.5MY Defender 90 X-Dynamic SE D250 MHEV Pangea Green

It puzzles me why they are so keen to cover up just that one bit of the rear door on all these cars its not like you can't make out the door profile from the rest of it.  MY06 S - Gone but not forgotten

Is it me or is the rear more upright (ie more like a D3/4) than previous spy shots ?
