Land
Rover Discovery Sport Dynamic
Land
Rover has further enhanced the visual appeal of its latest premium, compact SUV
with the launch of the Discovery Sport Dynamic at the 2015 Frankfurt Motor
Show.
The
Discovery Sport Dynamic features a number of exterior enhancements, including
Narvik Black exterior details, body-coloured mouldings and door claddings and
the choice of a unique new 19" wheel design in Satin Dark Grey, or a
20" Gloss Black wheel. Combined with new interior colours and detailing,
the new Dynamic design option creates a powerful and striking impression.
The
capability of the Discovery Sport is heightened by the introduction of All
Terrain Progress Control (ATPC) for 2016. ATPC is an advanced system that
enables drivers to set and maintain a steady speed in off-road conditions.
Developed by Land Rover's industry-leading all-terrain specialists, ATPC
functions similarly to a cruise control system, operational between 2 km/h and
30 km/h. The system adapts the vehicle's behaviour according to the terrain,
allowing even novice users the control of an expert off-road driver.
ATPC
also features a dedicated Launch feature, allowing the vehicle to pull away
smoothly and easily, even on problematic low-friction surfaces like ice, snow
or wet grass.
Supplementing
the Discovery Sport's large and varied suite of technologies is a new feature
called Gesture Tailgate. This provides the user with the ability to open and
close the powered tailgate by means of a kick gesture, enabling the user
hands-free access to the load space.
To
help customers identify the most efficient derivative, Land Rover has
introduced 'E-Capability' to Discovery Sport. Models that deliver the best
possible CO2 for each variant will be recognisable with a blue SPORT badge at
the rear of the vehicle.
The
Discovery Sport E-Capability eD4 produces 123 g/km CO2. The two-wheel drive
variant, which features the proven 150 PS Ingenium Diesel engine, offers
improvements in fuel consumption and further efficiency compared to the
four-wheel drive model, making it a particularly desirable option for fleet and
business customers.
The
Discovery Sport, the first member of Land Rover's new Discovery family, has
enjoyed a highly successful launch, with sales reaching nearly 30,000 in the
first half of 2015.
