Welcome to the DS forum!
As for the 2 brands - please make sure you are aware of the distinct differences between the 2 brands.
Land Rover Discovery Sport = best traction control system with full time 4WD - best for snow, wet, mud, off road use.
Costs of ownership - after warranty = higher due to British parts and sourced from the UK.
Problems with the brand is evident in the Discovery Sport = glitchy electronics, NAV&SAT disconnection issues, fuel gauge issue, noises, rattles, squeaks. Fi
Fun Factor = highest with grippy, safe traction, high cornering ability using torque vectoring, ride is sporty and suspension is stiffer than the Lexus.
Lexus RX = FWD traction with part time on demand AWD using a separate motor- not the best for snow, wet, mud & off road traction.
Costs of ownership - after warranty - low due to local US sourced parts supply chain for the most part.
Relatively zero problems due to Lexus quality control and high reliability history.
Fun Factor = low (soft, numb, steering is mute, ride is for luxury & smooth orientated)
Interesting, my friend and I were looking at the same time and he ended up with a Lexus GS350 and I ended up with the Discovery Sport.
I have sporty, grippy, fun drive requirements (kids are grown), while my friend wanted smooth, roomy, soft ride (kids are toddlers) and did not care about AWD traction requirements.
As for Dynamic Design option - it might be for the 2016.5 model year or a non US option which I have seen many that we don't get (pedestrian airbag, water depth wading sensor, magneto suspension.
Is it decorative like a Black Pack option ???
