With the perfect balance of luxury and practicality you’d expect from Land Rover, the Discovery Sport is certainly no disappointment. Claiming to be a proper 4×4, it’s loaded with the latest driver assist technology and is packed with safety features, putting it among some of the best dog-friendly cars on the market. If you’d like to discover some other great cars for dog owners, we’ve previously talked about the Audi Q8 and the Nissan X-Trail, so be sure to check them out!
Although similar in looks to the more ornamental Evoque, even running on the same platform, it’s a genuine utility vehicle. For this reason, it’s unsurprising that the Freelander’s replacement, has become one of Land Rover’s best selling models.
Why the Land Rover Discovery Sport is one of the best dog-friendly cars:
At Travall we understand that taking your dog for the same old walk around the park can quickly get stale. Sometimes you simply need to get out there and go for further, more adventurous walks! With its intuitive Terrain Response system offering optimum settings for all driving conditions and the ability to wade up to depths of over half a metre, the Discovery Sport is ideal for getting out onto roads less travelled.
If you want extra protection as you embark on such adventures, the Travall Mats and Travall Liner are a must! With these high quality, waterproof accessories you don’t need to worry about muddy shoes or paws ruining the interior. Simply hose them down and they’re good as new.
Round the back:
You get 981-litres of boot space with the seats up. Even for the largest of dogs this is more than enough room to move about and make themselves comfortable. However, it must be said that this measurement is taken from the roofline to the floor. This is where the Travall Guard comes in. It allows for items to be stacked above the parcel shelf, taking advantage of all that capacity. Additionally, the guard protects the interior by ensuring your mucky pup stays in the back.
Adding a Travall Divider let’s you get the most out of the Discovery’s cavernous boot, creating two distinct sections. One side for the dog and the other for all your hiking gear! Both accessories work seamlessly together and are vehicle specific, so unlike universal guards you can expect a perfect fit.
Land Rover has also made it super easy for our canine friends to jump into the back of the Discovery Sport, due to its low loading lip. There’s also the automatic tailgate, freeing up both hands and preventing you from getting trail dirt all over your hands.
Safety Features:
The Discovery Sport is brimming with safety features, resulting in a 5-star Euro NCAP rating. These include an autonomous emergency braking system, dynamic stability control and roll stability control. All of which do a great job of keeping you and your pets safe on and off road.
