Land Rover Discovery Sport, GIANT wellies & the River Seine (+video)

The Land Rover Discovery Sport, GIANT wellies & the River Seine Apart from the full reveal of the new Jaguar XE range, JLR’s big outing at this year’s Paris Motor Show has been the public debut of the new Land Rover Discovery Sport. And, as is fast becoming the norm for Jaguar Land Rover, the new Discovery Sport arrived in Paris with a bit of a splash. Rather than just unveiling the new Discovery Sport on the floor in Paris (which they did, with just the Sport on display on the first day), JLR commissioned a giant barge to accommodate the Sport on the River Seine, together with a very British support act in the guise of giant wellingtons.

So Ford has a plan to cover all the SUV bases with a range of new products that will sell in all Ford’s global markets. That includes the new Ford Kuga, the Fiesta-based Ford EcoSport and now this new Ford Edge which, although billed as a concept at the LA Auto Show, is very close to the new production Ford Edge that will be heading for sale in the UK and Europe late in 2014.
