Land Rover Tests The Discovery Sport Against Sled Dogs

TheLand Rover Discovery Sport is the brand's best-selling model. A total of 75,000 customers have taken delivery of one so far in 2017 alone. Impressive. But for some reason, Land Rover felt it necessary to pit its best-seller against a champion Finnish dog sled team to prove its snow and ice handling bona fides. Because of a warm Northern European summer, the only place where snow could be found was a man-made underground tunnel called the Vesileppis Sky Tunnel.

The SUV's competition was Finnish middle distance champion Laura Kaarianen and her six huskies. Turns out Kaarianen and crew are pretty good at what they do, being champions and all. But they could still use some additional training.
