Road on two wheels or four
of front and rear mudflaps and a choice of black or silver wheel centre caps. A requisite of any sporting activity, a first-aid kit, is also included in the deal.
The cost of these Gear items would add up to R28 791 if bought individually but bundled together, cost R22 500.
The package is available to existing Discovery owners or can be built into finance agreements.
One of the benefits is that all items are factory-approved and covered under standard vehicle warranty periods.
The new Discovery is still the most versatile premium SUV, with seating for seven, up to 2 500 litres of luggage capacity and class-leading all-terrain capability.
All three seating rows are available with heated seats (heated and cooled in the first two) while massage seats are available for the driver and front passenger.
A dual-purpose powered inner tailgate provides a practical load restraint when raised, but when lowered, the 285mm overhang doubles as a useful bench, ideal for changing muddy cycling shoes or performing mild bicycle maintenance or repairs while under the shelter provided by a onepiece tailgate.
Additional storage includes a deep cubby in the central console, capable of holding a pair of two-litre bottles, a second central armrest binnacle large enough for five iPads and a concealed smallitem stowage nook behind the flip-down climate control panel.
With ground clearance rated at 283mm and a maximum wading depth of 900mm, the Discovery can take mountain bikers to the start of even the most remote trails.
When tackling particularly challenging terrain, All-Terrain Progress Control (ATPC) can be programmed to autonomously maintain a suitable crawl speed chosen by the driver.
The clever technology allows the driver to concentrate solely on steering as he negotiates obstacles, without the distraction of operating the throttle or brake pedals and can also be used from a standstill to help when pulling away on slippery surfaces.
Land Rover’s multi-mode Terrain Response 2 system also optimises a range of settings, from throttle sensitivity to gear change characteristics to suit driving conditions at the turn of a rotary controller.
Gear and Land Rover seem a perfect fit and this premium combination made for a great weekend out.
