The Houston area is home to many-a terrain hazard beyond the easy-traveling grassland and forests of the Gulf coastal plain. From forested land remnants to the marshes, swamp and prairie that showcase Deep South ambiance, to the Lakes Houston, Conroe and Livingston areas, to the Buffalo, White Oak, Brays and Sims bayous speckling Houston proper, you're going to need a vehicle with the safety prowess to tack into the rough stuff. Take a look at the 2017 Land Rover Discovery Sport.

At first glance, one can tell that there's more than the turbocharged, 2.0L, I4 four-cylinder engine and four-wheel-drive capability that meet the eye. As if the Land Rover had Houston's freeway system in mind, 2017 Discovery Sport shows itself equipped with support for optional Lane Keep Assist (LKA), meaning that the SUV can now help put you back on course when it senses unintentional drift, and with help from an optional Driver Condition Monitor (DCM) to boot. Discovery Sport can learn your driving habits, interpreting feedback gleaned from behind-the-wheel behavior to help sense possible concentration lapse and inform you of it via the instrument cluster. And why not have an enhanced ability to keep an eye on nearby vehicles while receiving audible alerts regarding potential collisions? Land Rover made it happen, with an available optional Closing Vehicle Sensing system-equipped Blind Spot Monitor, 360-degree surround camera system, and a forward-facing camera built into Discovery Sport's available Autonomous Emergency Braking system.
