The 2017 Land Rover Commercial has gone on-sale in
the UK boasting two seats, permanent four—wheel drive, low-range, air
suspension and a full-size spare… and 1856 litres of storage space. The
Discovery Commercial is available with either a more-power SD4 engine or TDV6.
There have been Commercial versions of every Discovery variant to date.
Land Rover said, “The second and third row seating
have been replaced with 1856 litres of hard-wearing load-space". Accessed by a
powered tailgate and benefiting from Discovery’s innovative powered inner
tailgate, Discovery Commercial’s load-space measures 1635mm long, 939mm high
and 1411mm wide. The boot aperture is large enough to accept loads measuring up
to 1000 x 735mm”.
The Discovery Commercial comes standard with Terrain
Response but can be cost-optioned with TR2 which offers an automatic mode that
will let the vehicle determine the most appropriate mode. Retaining the
exterior design of Discovery, rear window concealment panels are masked by
privacy glass so Discovery Commercial can be undistinguishable as a commercial
vehicle if desired.
Jaguar Land Rover UK Managing Director, Jeremy Hicks
said, “Discovery Commercial has always been a key part of the Discovery line-up
since the Discovery 1, but the latest version brings new levels of
practicality, versatility and premium levels of comfort that showcase the
vehicle’s hard-working DNA.”
