- Words by Wendy robinson

Land Rover announced the

South African debut of its latest Discovery in June, a versatile family SUV featuring an enhanced interior and exterior, now smarter and better connected with cuttingedg­e technologi­es.

The Discovery’s distinct character and optimised proportion­s embrace more than three decades of design evolution.

The driving experience is utterly mind-blowing from a performanc­e and features perspectiv­e. This is an SUV with extreme comfort, opulence and capabiliti­es you’d happily take on a long road trip.

Design is the Disco’s love language

The new R-dynamic model features unique design elements, including Gloss Black and Shadow Atlas exterior accents, and twotone leather and contrast seat stitching on the interior. The new Pivi Pro infotainme­nt features a large 11.4-inch HD touchscree­n and advanced connectivi­ty with Soft-over-the-Air updates.

Next-generation wearable Activity Key, Click and Go tablet holders for row-two passengers and Intelligen­t Seat Fold technology provide 21stcentur­y convenienc­e. this Discovery has outstandin­g 3-litre Ingenium petrol and diesel engines.

Less is more when it comes to colour choices

This R-dynamic model has a more assertive character with unique design elements, including Gloss Black and Shadow Atlas exterior accents on its exterior and two-tone leather and contrast seat stitching on its interior. R-dynamic models also include Premium LED headlights, which produce a colour of light closer to daylight, helping drivers to distinguis­h objects more easily and to reduce driver fatigue. Driving at night or in poor visibility is made easier by Auto High Beam Assist (AHBA), which automatica­lly switches on and headlights and dip for oncoming traffic.

One size fits all

The Discovery has a 2 485-litre loadspace that doubles as a handy bench. Even with seven seats in use, the boot provides 258 litres of luggage space, and all occupants have somewhere to charge electronic devices. Intelligen­t Seat Fold technology lets customers configure the seating layout using the central touchscree­n. Using remote app technology, customers can keep tabs on the fuel status, the location of their vehicle and even unlock and lock the doors.
