VALUE-PACKED DISCOVERY

Land Rover has introduced its SD4 Ingenium Diesel engine delivering 177 kw and 430 Nm of torque, mated to a standard eight-speed automatic transmission, in its Discovery SUV model line-up. To celebrate this, Land Rover South Africa has packaged 50 units with additional features to serve as a value-packed, yet affordable entry-level model to the range. The units are based on the Discovery SE model, with LED headlights, rain-sensing wipers, a 10-speaker Enhanced Sound system, Terrain Response, 12-way leather seats, and Incontrol Touch Navigation with Apple Carplay as standard. Some useful extras are also added, including a sunroof, a power inner tailgate, roof rails, and keyless entry. Inside, the new Discovery benefits from third-row seating, a centre console cooler, ebony headlining, and second seating row USB ports.

With the new engine the seven-seater Discovery accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 8.7 s while returning an average fuel consumption of 6.4 l/100 km. Available in either Fuji White or Indus Silver, the new feature-packed Discovery is available from R1 240 700 and the price includes the standard Land Rover five-year/100 000 km maintenance plan and warranty.
