On the Land Rover side, models included are the Discovery and Discovery Sport and from Range Rover, the Evoque, Velar, Sport and ‘conventional’ full-size model.
“Building on the connected capability of the new Defender, we have made our pioneering software-over-the-air capability for infotainment updates standard on all our vehicles. Of course, we want our existing customers to benefit from the latest connected features as well, which is why we are offering them a complimentary upgrade to enable this capability on their vehicles too,” JLR Director for Product Engineering, Nick Rogers, said in a statement.
“At Jaguar Land Rover, our vision is to create experiences people love for life, putting our customers at the heart of everything we do. This programme is just one way in which we are making that commitment clear”.
