Drive into the hills with this beauty

POLOKWANE – Review’s car of the week is the immaculate 2009 model Land Rover Discovery 4 3.0 TDV6 S, which is currently available at MGM Motors’ used and demo cars division.

This white Land Rover has 93 500km on its odometer. The seats are black leather and the interior is complemented by wood finishes to give that extra classy appeal.

All Discovery 4 models came out with a new design of steering wheel with remote audio controls as well as cruise control. The instrument panel also consists of a handy five-inch information screen for the driver.

The most significant change in the Discovery 4 model line-up is the introduction of a new touch-screen area that free up some space in the central hangdown. This change has allowed the Terrain Response System setting to be moved from behind the gear lever to the base of the centre console.

This innovative dial is one of the core reasons for the Discovery’s drivability and ease of use. Gauge the terrain, dial the large knob to either sand, grass, gravel or snow, mud and ruts or rock crawl, engage into low range if needed and there you go. Once you back onto tar roads, simply turn the dial to the General setting.

This Discovery with keyless ignition and LED Day Running Lights for front and rear is now available at MGM Motors’ used and demo cars division in 105 Schoeman Street.
