Yuk! Does competing with the X5 mean the third row will be all but useless? To me, the LR4 competes more with the Mercedes GL rather than ML. And while the GL is huge, I didn't think it offered appreciably more utility than the LR4. I hope the final version retains some of the styling cues and usability of the current model. The weight loss will be welcome though.
I really think it's going to just look like a bigger version of the Discovery Sport. If you look at BMW or Mercedes, they have a line of various sized SUVs that all kind of look similar, just different sizes.Yuk! Does competing with the X5 mean the third row will be all but useless?

I will say, it still makes zero sense from a vehicle price point. The X5 (have owned a 2012 and 2014) really would be more akin to the RRS. You can still spec out a fully loaded X5 close to FFRR price,...
The Discovery "Sport" which will be a tighter package will, and should, be the competitor for the X5 but again, it won't even come close in terms of the available features/options. So in that sense, it won't compete equally except for those buyers looking at mostly base model builds and purely size and driving feel comparisons.
Nah, the Disco Sport is a direct replacement for the LR2, very much a compact crossover rather than a mid size SUV. As such, it would compare more fairly to an X3 or a GLK, not to a swankier X5 or ML-class (the new Range Rover Sport is closer in size, price and "philosophy" to those vehicles.)
